HIGH POWER DYNAMOMETERS FOR TESTING PISTON, TURBINE AND ELECTRIC PRIME MOVERS FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY

testingindonesia.com
Froude produces low-speed, very high power dynamometers for use with steam turbine and gearbox applications as well as for capital ship and cathedral engines. In fact, we are world leaders in the design and production of large dynamometers for testing piston, turbine and electric prime movers for the marine industry. We have a unique design which allows for simplified maintenance and vastly reduced installation time.
The LS casing is carried on three spherically pivoted struts which incorporate load cells and hydraulic positioning rams, allowing the dynamometer to be quickly and easily coupled directly to the engine. This mechanism eliminates the need for an expensive intermediate drive shaft. As the dynamometer is free to follow the engine, there is reduced axial thrust; hence no special thrust bearing requirements. The lack of conventional trunnion bearings means the associated problem of brinelling due to transmission of engine vibration, has been totally eliminated. 

SPESIFIKASI

Description

All torque-transmitting components are assembled using the oil injection technique, eliminating stress raising keys, keyways and associated operating problems of fretting. This technique also assures that subsequent removal of components, even after many years of service, is simple, quick and non destructive. The shaft assembly is carried in standard grease lubricated rolling element bearings, without separate thrust bearings, enabling higher speeds to be achieved without the need for special bearings and/or lubrication systems.


The design power range from 8,950 kW to 100,000 KW is limited solely by the power and torque output of current prime movers. The LS, RLS & DLS designs encompass a range of single and double working compartment machines to match power, torque and speed ranges and offer direct/non direct reversing to your requirements.

The Froude AC dynamometer has been specifically designed for the testing of gasoline and diesel engines in R & D and Quality Audit applications.   Low inertia AC motor with standard speed ranges from 3,500 rpm to 10,000 rpm Standard torque hub measurement accuracy is +/-0.2% of the full rated torque of the dynamometer Speed is measured to an accuracy of +/- 1 rpm testingindonesia.com      SPESIFIKASI       Description The AC dynamometer is constructed using a low inertia AC motor especially designed for engine test applications mounted on a substantial fabricated baseframe. On foot mounted versions torque is measured using an in-line torque hub. For trunnion mounted machines a precision strain gauge load cell is used. As an option both versions can include an integrated jackshaft that provides additional overhung load capacity for the engine drive shaft.                 Froude AC       Dynamometer Heat gen

FROUDE INVENTED THE WATER BRAKE DYNAMOMETERS

testingindonesia.com The Froude F Range Hydraulic dynamometers (also referred to as water brakes) have been designed to be compact, robust and to allow easy maintenance. Some of these models are available with a streamlined, fabricated base. This base is not only ultra durable due to the powder coating process, but also offers flexibility with water inlet/outlet placement and lifting eye locations. These engine dynos are fitted with two half couplings which, with the rotor, are oil injected onto the shaft. The standard machines run in grease lubricated rolling element bearings. The hydraulic dynamometer working compartment consists of special semi-circular shaped vanes cast into stainless steel rotor and stators. Water flowing in a toroidal vortex pattern around these vanes creates a torque reaction through the dynamometer casing which is resisted and measured by a precision load cell. The dynamometer load is controlled by a 'butterfly' water outlet valve, oper

EDDY CURRENT ENGINE DYNAMOMETERS

Overview testingindonesia.com SuperFlow offers a broad selection of technologically advanced eddy current absorbers which are ideal for precise engine testing. Low minimum load capabilities allow testing of very small engines, or larger engines running at very light loads and high speeds. Heat is dissipated by cooling water flowing through the stationary portion of the absorber. Rotating water seals have been eliminated. Bearings are pre-lubricated and rated for 5,000 hours of operation between servicing. Standard commercial load cells measure reaction torque for either direction of rotation. The double-ended main shaft may be fitted with a starter motor or used for dual engine connection. Speed is measured by a 60-tooth gear and hall effect sensor. All SuperFlow dry gap eddy current absorbers can be interfaced with SuperFlow data acquisition and control systems for complete engine, dynamometer and throttle control. These systems integrate with personal computers running Supe
