11 test cells in two buildings to investigate everything from flame structure to powertrain control
The PRISME laboratory, via the activities of the ECM Area, owns various experimental facilities in order to:
- validate control strategies and manage available energy within a hybrid vehicle or other system
- characterize the impact of fuel on mixture preparation and combustion in thermal machines

Dedicated resources for studies on the combustion of dihydrogen / ammonia / bio/syngas:
- High-power multi-cylinder engine cells
- Single-cylinder engine cells:
- opaque compression ignition, spark ignition.
- optics
- Specific chambers
- fast compression machine for auto-ignition delay measurement
- spray (non-reactive) and NOSE (New One Shot Engine) chambers for studying liquid and gaseous sprays
- combustion sphere for laminar and turbulent flame speed measurements
Dedicated resources for validating physical models and control strategies:
- Hot fuel cell bench
- Heat exchanger bench for battery thermal studies
Facilities made available to Stellantis as part of EXPLO'E: 2 specific test cells for the study of new energy converters for mobility.
