The invention relates to a device for conditioning the atmosphere when testing engines, comprising an inlet duct connected to an engine intake, an outlet duct connected to the exhaust of the engine, a communication duct that connects the inlet duct to the outlet duct, a bypass valve in the inlet duct, a super-charging turbo assembly in the inlet duct, a heat exchanger in the outlet duct, and a turbocharger after the heat exchanger. The device further comprises a first three-way valve that connects the inlet duct to the outlet duct, an on/off valve in the outlet duct, a second three-way valve in the outlet duct, a control valve in a duct that connects the outlet duct to the atmosphere, and a section of the outlet duct that connects the exchanger to the communication duct.

Device for conditioning the atmosphere in tests of alternative internal combustion engines, method and use of said device

A compressor housing includes a compressor inlet duct and an inlet for a compressor wheel. The compressor inlet duct has a longitudinal axis and connects an air intake duct with the compressor wheel inlet. The compressor housing includes at least one appendix positioned between an upstream portion of the compressor inlet duct and the compressor wheel inlet. The appendix includes a pipe closed in a distal part thereof with respect to the longitudinal axis of the compressor inlet duct.
