Hot test is defined as a variety of tests performed in order to check the production quality with a view to obtaining type-approvals and certifications.
Compared to the cold test, this type of test takes a longer time, as engine should reach the required thermal conditions before testing.
The test duration as well as the type of measurement and stress applied to the engines will change according to the nature of the test itself (global performance, simulation of “vehicle conditions”, long-run test, C.O.P.).
