Engine Systems Development Centre Inc.
Lachine, QC
Company Overview
Engine Systems Development Centre Inc. (ESDC) is an applied Canadian research center dedicated to large-bore diesel engines. It is our desire to provide cutting edge research in diesel engine technology that is needed to meet our national goals of obtaining reduced emissions, while providing industry with better fuel economy and higher power density.
Highly qualified researchers, experienced chemists and engineers perform full-scale engine testing and discrete component analysis. With their expertise in engines, fuels and lubricants, they have developed techniques for continuous, real-time, measurements of engine output in direct relation to fuel and lubrication.
ESDC's engine testing facility covers an area of 20, 000 square feet housing state-of-the-art equipment and engine test-beds that are capable of providing a wide spectrum of scientific data to simulate any condition. Specialists in lubrication and fuel technology conduct on-going research aimed at improving diesel engine fuel consumption and reducing exhaust emissions. All this allows ESDC to offer a new dimension to corporations and government organizations requiring comprehensive analysis.
