In manual mode, I hold the engine (WOT) at constant rpm,say 4000, then 4500, and so on. The inertia doesn't matter then, because there is no acceleration. And calibration for manual mode, constant rpm, is very simple : the loadcell (electronic sensor) is loaded with a known weight on a bar of 3 ft long to the center of the shaft of the waterbrake. But when I make automatic runs, the software is asking for an inertia value and calibrating for automatic runs can be done in 2 ways : by actually measuring the weight of the rotating components of the engine being tested (weight of the components times the mean distance to the centre of the components). In practice this is not possible. The 2nd way is by trial and error : I fill in a value for the inertia of the engine and then compare the power results of the manual mode and the automatic runs during one and the same session; I change the inertia value untill manual mode and automatic runs give the same results and then there also will be no difference in the power and torque curves between a fast run(WOT and low braking action of the dyno) and a slow run (great braking action) . If the inertia value is not correct, the curves of fast and slow runs will be different. The faster the run, the bigger the deviation.</div><div>The inertia value of the rotating components of my dyno is 0.07Ft-Lb-sec². the inertia of a small chevy block is 0.25. A Tr 4 or 6 cylinder engine has not much less inertia. By giving in an exaggerated inertia value in the software program, the power and torque results are way off, as much as you like. The results in manual mode are always correct if the simple calibration is done correctly and the manual mode has also the advantage of being able to test the engine at wide open trottle at high rpm during a long time and looking if the power is going down after a while by overheating of the combustion chambers and detonation. You will not find that out by a fast acceleration run on a chassis or engine dyno.</div><div>So I think we are talking about different things concerning the influence of inertia?</div><div>Marcel</div><br><br><br><br><br><div> <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>></div><div><br><b>Aan: </b>"fot" <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Verzonden: </b>Woensdag 5 september 2018 14:56:14<br><b>Onderwerp: </b>Re: [Fot] 89MM piston question<br></div><br><div><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hi Marcel,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">inertia of the engine and the drive train influent the results at very high power figures >500 hp, wenn the rolls of the dyno get accelerated very quickly.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The TR engines are not powerful enough it takes several seconds to shift the revs on a run from 2000 to 7000 so the inertia is not a thing to care about.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Cheers</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Chris</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><div><div style="border: none; border-top: solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt; padding: 3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm;"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Von:</b> Fot <<a href="mailto:fot-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>Im Auftrag von </b>van.mulders.marcel--- via Fot<br><b>Gesendet:</b> Mittwoch, 5.

The wheels of the car are resting on these cylinders and accelerate them during the runs. But the engine has also to accelerate the rotating parts of the car(crank, transmission, wheels..). I suppose that the dyno operator has to make a guess of the inertia value of these parts and add it to the inertia of the cylinders. Here is a comfortable opportunity for the operator to make the customer happy : if he is adding an exaggerated number for the inertia of the rotating parts of the car, then the horsepower is exaggerated. As far as I know , chassis dyno operators never mention or ask about the car inertia. It would be very interesting though to know the value he is using, because then you can always use this same value for runs on different occasions and compare the results a bit better. A chassis dyno is really only usefull to compare the results of changing things on the engine during one and the same session.Don't be fooled by the absolute numbers : Once I went to a chassis dyno with my TR3 : my car must have looked pitiful against the modern cars the operator was normally testing, because the result was 210 bhp at the wheels and I knew it surely had no more than 180 bhp at the flywheel! I don't know if some chassis dyno's have a brake to hold the engine on a constant rpm at WOT : then the inertia of dyno and car doesn't matter and you know the right horsepower at the wheels. About right at least : you can cheat yourself a bit by overinflating the tyres and the dyno has still to be calibrated rightly.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">Marcel</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"><hr size="2" width="100%" align="center" id="zwchr"></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">Van: </span></b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;">"fot" <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Aan: </b>"Bill" <<a href="mailto:Bill@ponostyle.com" target="_blank">Bill@ponostyle.com</a>>, "Larry Young" <<a href="mailto:cartravel@pobox.com" target="_blank">cartravel@pobox.com</a>><br><b>Cc: </b>"fot" <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Verzonden: </b>Woensdag 5 september 2018 02:44:00<br><b>Onderwerp: </b>Re: [Fot] 89MM piston question</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">You mean something like this ?
