It’s that time of year again, your car is a frigid block of ice and the engine and all of its components are frozen. Luckily you can climb in your vehicle, start it, and in a few minutes heat will be rushing out and warming everything almost instantly. The freezing cold glycol in your radiator is exchanged for piping hot fluid, the pressure in your cooling system fluctuates and the road sends vibrations straight through the engine compartment as you drive away happily. While this is convenient for the driver, these sudden changes in temperature, pressure, and vibrations can be grueling for your cooling module. This is why engine cooling system suppliers test at MGA. Our staff is experienced and ready to help you complete your testing and validate your systems for the road. Our cooling module services include:

• Temperature and Fluid Cycling (Thermal Shock)

• Fluid Pressure Cycling

• Full System MAST Simulation Testing with Environmental Conditioning

• Triple Axis High Frequency Vibration (Electro Dynamic Shaker)

• Modal Testing

• Material, Strength and Leak Testing

We are able to satisfy the requirements of most OEMs and take pride in the speed and proficiency with which these tests are executed. Roxanne Priest, a key engineer in this area, has over fifteen years of testing experience while her counterparts, Kevin Oliverio, Thomas Hutter, and Gerald Roesser are all technically strong engineers eager to provide outstanding customer service. MGA is perpetually expanding and is able to offer more and more capacity. We currently have six (6) MAST tables and three (3) Electro Dynamic shakers with several fluid and pressure cycling stations.
