The
dynamometer is the safest and most efficient way to tune
your vehicle's engine management system. With the
ability to simulate realistic road conditions in a safe
and controlled working environment, our tuners are free
to concentrate their efforts on carefully defining and pushing
the limits of your high performance engine.
Our facility houses a state of the art 2WD DASTEK dynamometer.
Unlike some other dynamometers, our unit is capable of both
acceleration run and loading run. No matter what car, if
it needs tuning or you just want to know its power output
and air fuel ratio we can do it! A car is a car!! Knowing
its air fuel ratio is a good idea before you perfom any
modifications to your car. There is no point fitting and
fiddling with an S-AFC if your car's air fuel ratio is perfect!
Introduction
- A chassis dynamometer or also known as a rolling road
contains either one or two rollers. The purpose of a chassis
dynamometer is to measure engine output either expressed
in horsepower (hp), kilowatts (kW) or Pferdestarke (ps).
There is also a wideband O2 sensor attached to the vehicle's
exhaust to accurately measure the air fuel ratio mixture
of the engine. This is important as incorrect air fuel ratio
mixture at high loads can lead to engine meltdown which
is rather costly and should be avoided.
There is also a very high flow fan blower placed in front
of the vehicle to keep the engine cool. This provides air
flow equivalent to driving on the motorways. This is required
since now the car is actually stationary while the 'road'
is moving.
Acceleration
run - or sometimes also known as inertia run is best
used to accurately obtain engine horsepower. Power is measured
by means of a heavy roller of a known weight (usually 2
tonnes or so) where a vehicle is strapped down. The vehicle
is then accelerated (usually in 3rd of 4th gear all the
way to red line). The system then measures the time taken
to accelerate the rollers. Since the mass (weight) of the
roller wheel is known, power and torque can then be calculated
using Newton's law.
Force (torque) = mass x distance traveled;. Power = torque
over a specific time (torque divide by time). So you can
easily see that the higher the power, the faster it takes
to accelerate a mass (weight). However this method is only
useful to accurately obtain hp figures and is not suitable
for engine tuning since the engine runs freely on the roller
wheel. Horsepower figures are power at the wheels. A dyno
sometimes also will attempt to calculate the losses of the
vehicle caused by friction of the gears, bearings and sometimes
due to improper gearbox to shaft alignment etc. to obtain
the power at the flywheel. The flywheel horsepower is not
100% accurate as the only way to get the exact flywheel
horsepower is to remove the engine from the vehicle and
bolt it on to an engine dynamometer in a test cell.
Loading
run - is whereby a dynamometer has a second roller known
as the 'brake' hence the name brake horsepower (BHP). This
allows an engine to run at a steady state which that the
operator can hold the engine at any speed that he dials
into.
The operator can then alter the ignition timing while
carefully listening for knock and optimize air fuel ratio
by monitoring a wideband air fuel ratio display to tune
for best power and torque. So how does it calculate the
horsepower. The system applies torque to the rollers.When
the torque applies equals to the torque produced by the
engine, the dyno rollers will be held at a steady state.
Power is than calculated. Power = torque / speed.
Unit Conversion
1 hp = 0.7457 kW
1 hp = 550 ft-lbs/sec
If you can push a 250kg (550lbs) weight one feet in one
second, you are rated roughly one horsepower.
If you can push the same mass in ten seconds then you are
rated 0.1 hp!
Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lbs) x RPM / 5,252
Which means Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lbs) at exactly 5,252
