Dyno Mechanical Loss Compensation Software- Optional for DYNertia2.

 

Inertia Dynamometer - Dyno Loss Calculator

 

D2Cal is an optional software accessory for DTec’s DYNertia2 dynamometer controller, it allows you to accurately compensate for 'mechanical losses' (like friction & windage) in your dyno system.

 

Any mechanical system will have losses - your dyno is no exception. Every time you add a bearing, belt or other component to your system you are increasing the dyno systems losses. The best solution is to minimize the built in losses by good design and construction, but complete elimination is not possible.


Sometimes the dyno mechanical system includes extra components - for example running in “fan” loads etc. these added features to the dyno system but can substantially increase the losses.

 

This is not a guess as sometimes included in other systems - but an actual measurement of the mechanical losses right throughout the dynos operating range. These losses are then automatically corrected in DYNertia2 dyno software.


No estimates, rules of thumb or magic numbers - correction based on comprehensive measurement.

 

Key Features

  • Easy to use 'plug in' program automatically integrates into your DYNertia2 dyno software.

  • A simple 'coast down' test is all that's required to calculate the losses.

  • D2Cal program measures and records the losses at 1 rpm increments.

  • When active (it is selectable) the corrections are seamlessly applied to any runs, no matter how large or small the losses.

  • Multiple 'loss' data can be saved and the files selected to allow compensation for different dyno configurations.
