Dynamometers are essential in engine tuning and inadequate maintenance of these advanced testing instruments may compromise the accuracy of the data they generate. Engine dynamometers […]
Accurate, consistent, repeatable results are the reason for dynamometer testing. Many factors are involved in testing, so monitoring your test is critical to producing accurate […]
Water Quality Is Crucial to Longevity The quality of the water used in a dynamometer affects absorber and water pump operation. Contamination, salt water, or […]
Correct Room Ventilation Makes All the Difference! Ventilation is one of the most overlooked aspects of engine test cell room design. Proper airflow through the […]
Avoid These Pitfalls To Produce Repeatable Results Original Article Published by Steve Matthiesen for Performance Business, September 2009 Have you ever wondered why the shop […]
Acceleration testing saves time and illustrates how your engine behaves under actual operating conditions, it also has its own unique operational characteristics. It is important […]
Overview A Dynamometer gives the operator the ability to vary the load applied to the unit under test to mimic specific requirements. SuperFlow offers several […]
Overview Automated testing provides many testing possibilities, however certain test procedures can affect the test results. This is particularly true for dynamic tests which may […]
Overview An engine makes power by moving air and fuel into and out of it. The more of both it can move, and the faster […]
An engine dynamometer provides for testing an engine when it is mounted to a power absorber. The torque along with speed (RPM) is measured and […]
Many shop owners biggest fear in purchasing a dyno is the impact it may have on other parts of their business. If implemented correctly, a […]
The term cfm (cubic feet per minute) generates much confusion about airflow. This is a result of the fact that air is compressible, and the […]
Selecting any SuperFlow Engine Dynamometer typically comes down to four main factors: The RPM requirements The torque requirements The control tolerances The test requirements Whether […]
There Is No Air Density Correction There is no air density correction required to adjust for different atmospheric conditions when testing. This is the concept […]
The necessity of flow-number comparison is something that anyone involved in flow testing must endure. Even if the number comparison is done on the same […]
The following concepts were originally presented by Jim McKenzie of Hendrick Engines Dynamometer Labs during the 1998 AETC conference. These are intended as guidelines for […]
