  • Method for determining the power of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 8375775
    Abstract: The power of internal combustion engines is conventionally determined on special power-test stands on which all connections, in particular coolant connections, of the engine must be fitted. In particular, if a cold test of the internal combustion engine is carried out beforehand, it is necessary for said internal combustion engine to be dismounted from the cold-test stand and mounted on the power-test stand, which is time-consuming. The invention indirectly predetermines the power of the internal combustion engine during the cold test. In this way, the determination of the power can be carried out on the cold-test stand without the need for a power-test stand or for the internal combustion engine to be mounted thereon.
