Engine dynamometer:
What is an engine dyno ?
Simply put an engine dynamometer measures engine Torque and
Rpm from which it is able to calculate horsepower [(Torque
x Rpm)/5252 = Horsepower] Why have an engine set up/ power tested on a Superflow
dyno ?
- A Superflow dyno provides accurate
horsepower readings at
selected rpms. As a result there are none of the
inherent inaccuracies related to wheel slip and transmission
losses
which you get with rolling roads.
- A Superflow dyno enables
you to get repeatable
results in
a controlled environment.
- A Superflow
dyno has multiple plotting and overlay
functions.
- A Superflow dyno has the ability
to identify small variations in output as
a result of changes to engine settings.
- A Superflow
dyno has the ability to run the engine
continuously whilst mapping.
- A Superflow
dyno provides multi channel outputs with continuous
data logging allowing for early identification
of potential engine problems.
- A Superflow dyno has
a 1,000 bhp/ 10,000 rpm capacity.
- A
Superflow dyno corrects output readings for Air
temperature, Air Pressure and Water Vapour
Pressure.
- A Superflow dyno provides a cooling system heat
exchanger,
which holds an engine within 2 degrees centigrade
of a recommended temperature. This extends
to temperature controlled
intercooling for engines with forced
induction.
