STARS HDEET

Test Automation Software for Heavy-Duty Engine Emission Testing

Heavy-duty engine emission testing is more challenging than ever before. We must consider increased complexity in emission regulations, new standards for greenhouse gases, in-service, and real-world compliance requirements.

STARS HDEET helps overcome this complexity by providing complete regulatory emissions certification procedures. Using the flexibility of the STARS platform to automate all kinds of engine development test work.

This software is available as an optional extension to STARS Automation. It provides efficient test cycle execution, emissions equipment control, results calculation and reporting, in compliance with the different legislative standards. Its flexible design offers a wide range of customization while addressing the various requirements for research and development, conformity of production, and certification testing.

STARS HDEET increases test cell efficiency and productivity from test configuration to final report generation, always keeping the highest quality level to give absolute confidence in the test results.

Powerful 
  • It can be extended to run custom cycles and to control additional measurement devices which are needed when emissions test cycles are used as part of the base engine or calibration development process.
 
Flexible 
  • With our proven experience in engine emission testing, the software has been designed so that individual test options can either be selected by the operator for each test or taken from pre-defined default settings.
 
Efficient 
  • Preloaded with regulatory cycles, configuration data, and result calculations for a wide range of engine applications.
  • A ready-to-use solution.
  • Guides the user through the test configuration with minimal required input data, minimising the risk of configuration errors.

 

Analysis and Reporting made simple with STARS HDEET
  • Power map calculations
  • Cycle denormalization
  • Post-test control and measurement system validation
  • Emissions mass calculations
  • Configurable Excel report
  • Data import / export for GEM simulation for EPA GHG Phase 2
