The SF-3000BW, also known as the Black Widow engine dyno from SuperFlow, is unmatched in its combination of low speed torque capacity and high-speed power capacity. This means the SF-3000BW is equally matched for diesel performance and Pro Mod drag applications. The stainless-steel absorber will last for years due to its high resistance to cavitation. Automated tests make operation simple and repeatable with prompts that guide you from start to finish.
With a speed range from 1,300 rpm all the way to 11,000 rpm (intermittent), the SF-3000BW (Black Widow) handles anything from high-torque performance and marine engines to high-revving drag engines. This versatile water brake dynamometer is rated for 3,000 hp (2,237 kW) and 2,500 lb-ft (3390 Nm) of torque. Our engineers have meticulously implemented measures to ensure the SF-3000BW possesses the renowned accuracy, consistency, and control characteristic of all SuperFlow dynamometers.
The SF-3000BW (Black Widow) is built with integrated starters which eliminate the need for bell housing or engine mounted starter. A special compliant driveshaft that absorbs the torsional vibrations of the engine allows for coupling to the dynamometer directly to the engine’s crankshaft or flywheel. The driveshaft’s 4.5 in (114 mm) constant velocity (CV) joints ensure smooth power transfer.
Precise control of the water equates to precise closed-loop load and speed control of the engine. SuperFlow designed an exclusive dual water valve strategy for the SF-3000BW. Stainless steel absorber inlet and outlet valves with high speed stepper motors control the water flow in and out the Black Widow’s absorber manifolds. The dual valve control allows the water brake to respond quickly to abrupt load changes such as nitrous oxide “hit” or steep rise in engine volumetric efficiency (VE) from a turbo or supercharger and it increases overall system torque absorbing capacity.
