Compact APU Test & Evaluation System Released

Sky Power International ?has developed the?SP-180 SRE APU demonstrator?mobile APU test and evaluation system.

The new APU test system is based on the SP-180 SRE-hybrid Wankel engine. Auxiliary Power Units (APU) are small, self-contained power sources that are used in land and rail vehicles as well as in general aviation or maritime applications.?

These units provide an independent power supply that allows the main?engine?to remain switched off while electrical devices continue to operate.

With the installed SP-180 SRE hybrid?Wankel engine, the APU demonstrator now works highly efficiently.

"Thanks to its very compact and simple design, low vibrations, high speeds and consistent power output, the Wankel motor offers some decisive advantages over traditional reciprocating piston engines. These characteristics make it particularly attractive for applications where space, weight and power play a major role." - Karsten Schudt , Managing Director of Sky Power International.?
