Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education on Light Power was co-founded by the Internal combustion engine institute, the national key laboratory of engines and School of Mechanical Engineering of Tianjin University. It brings the internal combustion engine engineering research, industrialization and educational resources together to build a research platform for light power industry. This Center built the advanced design technology platform of light power products, special key technology research platform, high level light power inspection and testing platform, advanced testing instruments and equipment development platform and standard technology research platform. Based on the industry, the Center chooses common and key technology needed by dealing with regulations and leading the market as research direction, relies on special platform and research groups to carry out the research of special technology for engineering application, relies on the testing platform to offer product quality inspection and overseas certification services for the industry, relies on the industrialization platform to achieve the industrialization of technological achievements.
The Center has undertaken53 national and provincial scientific research subjects, over 430 enterprise commissioned topic and a large number of industry test projects, with total funds over 160 million Yuan. It has gained 2 provincial science and technology awards, 102 authorized patents and led formulating and publishing 12 light power standards.
