Cars are a hot topic around the world - and not only when it comes to racing. Even our private cars can get pretty "hot" - especially components like the exhaust or the brakes. Such extreme conditions are simulated during design to ensure that these components do not fail when it counts. Vibration Testing experts simply call it "Hot Shake" - but it is not that simple! At Peus Testing in Germany they are pushing the envelope of high temperature environmental testing. The combination of a "hot gas generator" and a shaker system creates a very hot test environment. Hot gas at temperatures of up to 1000 deg C stream through car components such as catalysts or diesel particle filters, causing them to glow bright red.
