The H36 is designed typically for high torque, low speed, diesel engines. Those could be used in the mining industry, marine industry and other naval applications. This dyno has the capability of running up to 7500 kW of power or 10,000 HP and torques exceed 28,000 N m. Typically this dyno’s sweet spot is operating at about 1,000 rpm. The advantage of our dyno over some other ones that you might see is that our dyno is bi-rotational. It makes no difference which direction it runs. Its perfect for applications where you’re testing engines, in ships for example, where you have clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation with two engines. You can apply the same dyno for both.
At the top of the dyno is the water inlet section. The power rating of the dyno is dependent on how many sections you have. Its relatively simple. Each section is capable of about 1,000 HP, so the dyno referenced has a 10,000 HP rating. Again, our dynos are bi-rotational. In the lower front section is the load cell. This is used to measure the torque at a given distance from center line. In the front, we have the companion flange which is used to connect to the driveshaft which is in turn connected to the engine being tested.
As you can see, this is a very large water brake dyno. This is the largest of the series that we have available, and we go significantly from here. The dyno sizing is designed and created specifically for your application. We have many dynos, accessories, data acquisition software and testing expertise available, because at Power Test, we aim to make your testing easy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
