Welcome to another episode of "dyno INSITES" presented by Froude. In this episode, Chris and Mike discuss the crucial process of commissioning a dynamometer. The conversation covers the reasons behind commissioning, emphasizing the need to validate equipment in its working environment to ensure proper integration and functionality.
They delve into the preparations required before commissioning, highlighting the importance of facility requirements, correct installation, and alignment of the dynamometer, engine, and driveline. Alignment, regardless of the engine's speed, is deemed critical for data accuracy and the smooth operation of the dyno.
The discussion also touches on the role of the commissioning engineer and the collaboration between the supplier and the customer during the commissioning phase. They stress the significance of communication and having a single point of contact at the customer site to streamline the process.
The hosts explore potential challenges during the pre-commissioning stage, emphasizing the need for thorough preparation and the resolution of any issues before the commissioning engineer arrives. They share insights into the complexities of safety considerations, particularly the emergency stop (E-stop) strategy, which is crucial in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Chris and Mike underscore the importance of a known test engine with a documented history to facilitate accurate commissioning and troubleshooting. They discuss the involvement of the customer's engineering team, highlighting the value of their expertise in understanding their specific product and the commissioning engineer's role in recognizing potential issues to ensure a dynamic and safe testing environment.
