CEL designs and delivers fixed and modular cells for turboprop, turboshaft, turbojet, turbofan and APU testing, including production, maintenance and research facilities. CELDAS combines engine controls and data acquisition with configuration-specific calibration and test reporting. Customer evidence now includes Intermountain’s operational HTS900 installation and CTA’s CEL-designed and manufactured hybrid/electric bench.
Technical detail
Core features
Permanent-building and mobile sound-attenuated APU, turboprop and turboshaft cells; custom turbojet/turbofan facilities and upgrades
CELDAS distributed acquisition, electronic-engine-control interface, guided operation and spreadsheet reporting
As-found/as-left calibration records; end-to-end calibration for pressure, temperature, vibration, speed, fuel flow and torque
Intermountain installation described in a customer interview as operational, correlated and rated to 2,500 shp; its configuration supports HTS900 and LTS101
CTA’s CEL-built hybrid/electric bench operates within the customer’s advertised up-to-2 MW service envelope
Named CEL T700 delivery to TEI; TEI separately records T700-TEI-701D cell correlation against GE in April 2021

Evidence of maturity
Delivered installations: Intermountain’s 2022 customer interview describes an operational, correlated HTS900 cell; CTA identifies its CEL-built hybrid/electric bench in service by July 2026. CEL names TEI’s T700 delivery, while TEI separately reports April 2021 cell correlation. These do not certify every advertised engine variant; no TRL is assigned.
Commercial availability
Offered as customer-specific turnkey facilities, control-system upgrades and life-cycle support. Engine configuration, site utilities, OEM correlation, calibration uncertainty and acceptance tests determine usable scope.
Integration and verification
Readiness

In Lisa Gordon’s April14,2022 interview, Intermountain CEO Darryl Christensen says its HTS900 cell was correlated and operational; the article dates operation to September2021. It names CEL as designer, rates the installation to2500shp and describes FADEC compatibility, automated dynamometer and safety shutdown, plus LTS101 use. It is original customer testimony in a trade feature, not a published OEM correlation certificate or all-CEL rating.
