Finite Element Analysis of Inertia Dynamometer

The Dynamometer is a LOAD device. It applies a load to an engine so we can test the performance of the engine under a variety of circumstances. System operates where load (dyno) torque equals that of the Engine. By varying the engine throttle and load we can test any point under the engines max torque curve. We design and modify engines for improved fuel economy and emissions We need DATA to quantify the improvements in Fuel savings and Emissions reductions. This data will be used to help us “tune in” our design. The Dynamometer is operated at 1000 rpm to generate the necessary inertia. For different kind of conditions, there is need of having variable inertia. So the dynamometer is constructed with removable flywheel.
