Emissions Pro & Pro+ Dynamometers

Product Overview

LINK Brake Emissions Pro & Pro+ Dynamometers are designed to meet the upcoming EURO regulation, UN GTR-GRPE* 2023/4 requirements, and beyond.

LINK’s design meets your future testing needs, including highly regenerative brake systems and low drag measurement capabilities.

Key Features

Emissions Pro

Emissions Pro includes:

Machine design to minimize dynamic drag and provide a consistent measurement throughout vehicle platforms
DutyCycleSim 2.0 to automatically generate control programs using time-resolved profiles (speed and torque)

ProLINK layouts and automatic report generating toold per UN GTR-GRPE 2023/4
Integrated instrumentation for PM2.5 and PM10 (including automatic filter changers)
Integrated instrumentation for total and solid particle counting systems with PCRF calibration

Emissions Pro+

In addition to Emissions Pro capabilities, Emissions Pro+ also features:

RegenSim 3.0 software with capabilities for regenerative braking simulation for battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, using torque v. speed or direct friction torque v. time
Precision control during low torque and low brake work for highly regenerative brake systems
Off brake drag measurement capability during brake emission measurements
Upgrade to additional inertia simulation capability
Mountain decent simulation
Expanded Particle Instrumentation (particle size distribution, real-time mass measurements, etc.)
