Specific objectives
Know the different types of dynamometers and their respective functions.
Verify what procedures are carried out during the tests (with each
type of dynamometers.
Dynamometer
The word Dynamometer is made up of two basic words. The first part,
dynamo which comes from a Greek word meaning power in motion. The second
part, which comes from the word, metro also comes from a Greek word and means
measure. It can be best described as 'a machine that measures power during the
movement". Dynamometers are machines used to measure the energy of an engine.
The torque of an engine is determined specifically through a complex system of
the absorption and the reaction. The basic components of a dynamometer are the frame,
engine mounts, the absorption unit which is generally a certain type of roller
or drum and the torque measuring device (torsional stress).

What is the dynamometer?
The dynamometer is the technical name for a test bench.
(It is also referred to as a dynamometer, hydraulic brake, Testing Laboratory, power
test, strength or torque test). It is a modern tool used by workshops.
best-equipped automotive facilities to assess the condition of an engine, to optimize its
performance, its power, its speed. To know the health status of the combustion engine.
internally a strength test is carried out: the engine power (how many horses, how many hp,
etc.) For this, the car or engine is checked or tested on a Test Bench. The Test Bench
tests is a workplace -closed for greater security-, within which there are
rollers on the floor, connected to a force sensor, which will measure the force that the
the motor deploys at a certain speed. It is the wheels of the vehicle that transmit the
engine dynamics on the dynamometer rollers, acting as a brake, simulating the
resistance that the vehicle receives when circulating on public roads.[ CITATION Din

The computer takes the data from the hydraulic brake -brake meter-, and displays it on the
simultaneously with the check; at the same time. Today all engines are
developed with a control computer "ECU", "UCE" -Siemens, Bosch, Marelli, and
fed with injection of fuel - gasoline, gasoline - diesel - directly to the
combustion chamber.[ CITATION Din 2058 ]
So that the diet provides the maximum pair and also complies with the
limitations on environmental pollution, the computer receives signals from the
sensors installed at strategic points of the engine. To interpret the functioning and
correct the variables that determine it, the technician must understand the activity of the sensors and
the actuators, and this would not be complete without the help of the equipment to analyze and correct
the behavior of different electronic accessories.[ CITATION Din 2058 ]

Depending on the classification of dynamometers, there are some that require water brakes or
oil, these are necessary for certain types of dynamometers, as they provide resistance and
the appropriate absorption for measurement. The engines are hooked up to the dynamometers of
various forms according to their operation otpo. The dynamometer simulates real conditions 2
allowing the engine to operate at long intervals and at maximum levels without having the
vehicle in motion. The automotive industry relies on the use of dynamometers in development and
the testing of their engines. Those who specialize in the rebuilding and repair, according to requirements
Motor specifications also use dynamometers

designers of high-performance vehicles such as racing cars and motorcycles
dynamometers are used for similar reasons as in the automotive industry, and also the
they are used as part of the process of recalibrating an engine that has been used in environments of
race. Dynamometers are also used on some occasions in the test of another type of
internal combustion engine, used for industrial purposes such as engines in pumps
water and the mobile tractors deterra. Most modern dynamometers are controlled
through a computer and allow the operator to select the points and the range of the
speeds at which it will measure the engine's torque. Horsepower and other measurements are read
out directly in real time and based on this data the torque is calculated. Technically
A dynamometer is an electric generator which, when forced to rotate by the motor, under
test, it produces an electric current. Since the values of the electric current can be
registered and measured very exactly, the dynamometer gives more precise readings of the
output power of a motor. The "engine dynamometer" records the torque and/or power of
rotation of a motor on the crankshaft. Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF
printer (htThe "chassis dynamometer" records the torque and/or power of the
motor
Dynamometer test
The Dynamometer test is a highly productive tool where the engine
is directly coupled to the element of the Dynamometer.
This sophisticated test allows the specialist technician to simulate the operation of the
motor in a real scenario, allowing for functionality tests such as
power, torque, performance, emissions control, etc.
Under these applied load conditions, the technician will be there to examine each
system and make the necessary adjustments before putting the engine into service and being
installed on the machine or equipment.
Why tests with a dynamometer?
Evaluate the power and torque performance of the engine
The performance results can be compared with the specifications of
manufacturer
Know engine parameters such as: temperature, oil pressure, pressure of
turbo, fuel efficiency in a range of loads.
The Dynamometer test is the best quality guarantee you can have.
