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.

Success Stories: ESDC successfully developed a software
package: "Data Acquisition and Engine Control
system" for both the single-cylinder research
engine test cells and multi-cylinder test cells
application. The project was sponsored by IRAP,
NRC, Canada.
Simplified Fuel Additive Test (SFAT)Procedure was
developed as a less expensive alternative to
current AAR RP-503 test protocol for evaluation
of fuel additives for medium-speed diesel engine
used in rail, marine and stationary applications.
The project is sponsored by Transportation
Development Centre (TDC), Transport Canada.
