Before a turbocharger is ready to be installed in an engine, it needs to be tested to ensure it works properly with no defects. There are two main methods for turbocharger testing: cold testing and hot testing. This article examines the differences between these testing methods and the advantages of cold testing. As companies search for ways to operate more sustainably, cold testing has emerged as a key procedure to help accomplish this.

Diesel engines need routine maintenance and upkeep to preserve performance, and over the life of the engine, this might include parts replacement. Cummins provides online engine manuals and a service center locator among online support offerings for diesel engine problems.
