Engine virtual test bench WESTT CS/BV developed by Price Induction

Price Induction GmbH is now ready to welcome the teachers, training staff, researchers and students who have an interest in a demonstration of the WESTT CS/BV station. This engine simulation bench is a highly innovative and interactive tool with numerous educational applications such as control theory, regulation, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, embedded electronics and general turbomachinery.

With this demonstration area, Price Induction GmbH’s mission is to promote and distribute the whole line of products developed by its parent company, specifically including the WESTT products range (Whole Engine Simulator Turbine Technology), which already equip many universities in France and contribute to the DGEN engine’s growing recognition in Europe.

Depuis fin avril, Price Induction a déplacé son siège social dans un établissement de 1500m² pour accompagner le développement de son activité et en particulier pour organiser la production de son moteur, le DGEN 380.

A cette occasion, Price Induction s'est dotée d'une salle de démonstration dédiée aux solutions WESTT.

Cette salle est équipée d'un banc virtuel (WESTT BV) et d'une station de montage/ démontage (WESTT SEV).

Les démonstrations de notre banc d’essai moteur réel (WESTT BR) continueront pour leur part sur le site voisin de Tarnos.

Si vous souhaitez nous rendre visite pour découvrir ces solutions, n'hésitez pas à contacter le responsable commercial de votre zone.

From July 25 to July 31, Price Induction will be exhibiting the DGEN 380 in its latest integrated version at EAA AirVenture 2011 international show in Oshkosh, WI. This is the very first time this engine is to be on display outside of Europe at an airshow. Price Induction is very proud that EAA AirVenture Oshkosh can be home of this exciting event.

It follows the creation of an American subsidiary, Price Induction, Inc., opened in Atlanta, GA in August of 2010. It shows the company’s commitment to the American market, which is the first general aviation market in the world.

The DGEN 380 has just finished its first endurance test, going through a 150 hours block under severe conditions:This performance is all the more remarkable as it was achieved with an engine set to maximum thrust - more than 5 % greater than the specification. The engine is now ready to fly, and Price Induction will be looking for its first application during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

Designers are welcome to introduce their projects during the week, and come chat with Price Induction engineer team who will be present at all time at the booth.

The company Price Induction SA annouces the succesfull achievement of a particularly severe endurance test, undergone by its DGEN 380 turbofan engine, which has been developped for several years, in its current integrated version A7-A.

This test was achieved on the new B 64 test bench set up in Tarnos (40) in accordance with the CS-E requirement rules and lasted 150 hours.

This performance is all the more remarkable as it was achieved with an engine set to maximum thrust, more than 5 % greater than the specification.

This success rewards more than 10 years of efforts from our entire technical team, constituted of young engineers, actively supported by senior experts who have been patiently giving sound advice from their past strong experience.

This milestone reveals the bright technical future of this engine and should lead to the launch of its type certification.

Until then, Price Induction will pursue its marketing efforts to trigger the launch of PLJ type aircraft programs by aircraft manufacturers as well as the production of a flying demonstrator.

IPB/ ENSEIRB – MATMECA Bordeaux, AEROfan platform partner

The first virtual bench WESTT CS/BV produced by Price Induction was installed and successfully booted up on Tuesday February 8^th 2011 at the engineering school IPB/ENSEIRB-MATMECA located in Bordeaux.

This purchase was made within the context of the Aquitaine platform for collaborative research and technologic transfer (AEROfan), which was started in 2009 by Price Induction and several other partners, engineering schools, Bordeaux universities and regional institutions.

Strongly supported by theAquitaine Région, the AEROfan platform is a national first.

Indeed, it aggregates in Aquitaine the engineering schools (IPB/ENSEIRB-MATMECA, Arts et Métiers Paris Tech Centre of Bordeaux-Talence, ESTIA…), Bordeaux 1 University (CR-IMA), Jean Taris de Peyehorade Highschool, Bordeaux Aéroparc and research labs in Bordeaux around an extremely innovative project in terms of research, collaborative-development, technologic transfer as well as educational potential on the aeronautic « turbofan » engines designed in the Aquitaine Region by Price Induction.

The WESTT general configuration adopted by the AEROfan partners is the following:

-          IPB/ENSEIRB-MATMECA : WESTT CS/BV, virtual engine bench

-          Arts et Métiers Paris Tech Centre de Bordeaux Talence : WESTT SEV, engine assembling/disassembling station

-           Université Bordeaux 1, CR-IMA (Centre de Ressources ...

Price Induction Inc. has opened a new exhibition space six months after opening its North Atlanta office. A WESTT CS/BV station is now operational and is available to educational institutions, research facilities and other interested parties to test drive the latest advanced solutions from the WESTT catalog. The CS/BV virtual bench is an advanced, innovative and interactive simulation teaching tool for various educational fields including control theory and thermodynamics.
