Worldwide leader in the development and manufacturing of Fuel Systems, INERGY already expanded its perimeter, leveraging on its fuel system storage and distribution competencies, with the development and commercial launch of its own SCR system. Since then, INERGY developed and constantly improved its electronics capabilities.
INERGY's DINOx system has the specificity of integrating an Electronic Control unit for fluid (urea) management.
From the extension of INERGY's perimeter to the development of a new expertise
The commercial launch of DINOx has motivated INERGY to review the global architecture of Controlled Systems, and develop a new expertise.
INERGY has introduced Requirement Management and V-Cycle Development from initial Controlled System view to global System Validations to manage the specificities of an active system. This includes the development of control strategies for the whole perimeter, development of specific actuators, sensors and Electronic Control Units (ECU). Often considered as the heart of the Controlled System, the ECU is tuned according to the specificity of the system design and interfaces.
Adaption of fluid management systems to customers specifications depending on applications are part of INERGY's competencies evolution. When developing new System Control devices, INERGY has to take into account prerequisites from customers and legislative bodies. For each customer/project, the Control Unit is adapted with regards to its Electronic requirements, pin-out, mechanics, Communication Standard Software for the interfaces with the vehicle.
To constantly develop the best controlled systems for fluid management, INERGY relies on a broad group of suppliers of electronic actuators, sensors, and controllers.
INERGY develops global control strategies, global diagnosis of the system, including plausibility of the system operation, and strives to standardize systems as much as possible.
For each project, Validation and qualification of the system are key. INERGY has introduced the qualification of the system with Hardware in the Loop tools, and complete Controlled System
Validation Plans.
Relying on its transverse expertise, and adding System Control as a new competency, INERGY is now able to deliver complete electronics management Hardware and Software along with its diesel emission reduction systems.
