Our innovative Dyno engine brake solution just got even better. 

You can now benefit from real-time data logging integrated directly into our engine brake system.This new feature offers instant access to performance data, enabling better monitoring, analysis, and optimization for your operations. Whether you’re fine-tuning performance or enhancing safety, this upgrade provides the insights you need—right when you need them.

Today we supply three different models of DYNO Engine Brake, installed on engines in diving lifeboats from various engine manufacturers. There are now over 70 DYNO Engine Brakes installed.

DYNO Engine Brake has proven to be very effective in ensuring good combustion during engine maintenance runs and also a useful tool to be able to control engine performance.

 

Solution

 

Install a data logger on the engine and the Dyno installation and you will be capable of monitoring and recording the critical parameters necessary to assess engine and dyno performance.

Data such as:

Engine RPM

Engine Oil Pressure

Engine Cooling Water Temperature

Dyno Hydraulic Oil Temperature

Dyno Hydraulic Oil Pressure

Exhaust Temperature

Dyno running hours

 

PLC with integrated LCD screen for data in "Real-Time" during testing available from outside the engine compartment.

The FV test program is built into the PLC to provide instructions to the operator on the actions required to complete the test. It records in memory the last date when the test was completed and the due date of the next test.

 

Advantages of DYNO Engine Brake Datalogger

 

Building up driving data data from a large number of engines to ensure better performance analysis in the future, so that we can more easily predict when maintenance is required. This ensures that the engine is ready and available in emergency situations.

Safer and more reliable data collection when performing Dyno testing, as no personnel are required in the engine compartment.
