Welcome to this episode, "Avoid Catastrophic Failure in Your Dynamometer Test Cell," where Mike Golda and Chris Middlemass discuss why the maintenance of your dynamometer test cell is critical. Be sure to check out our video version of this podcast with supporting images: video.
They highlight three main types of maintenance: reactive (waiting for failure), preventive (scheduled maintenance), and predictive (using sensors to predict issues). Reactive maintenance is deemed costly and risky, while preventive and predictive approaches are considered more planned and cost-effective.
The discussion covers various aspects of maintenance, including monitoring vibration, temperatures, and running conditions, and stresses the importance of consulting the OEM for proper maintenance guidelines. Mike and Chris will touch on the types of components that need maintenance, such as bearings, filters, seals, rubber components, and control valves, and the advantages of using Authorized Service Centers. Additionally, they briefly discuss maintenance for intermittent use of dynamometers and caution against neglecting maintenance due to potential safety risks and costly repairs.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
