The hydraulic portable engine dyno is a turbulent-action water brake and operates on a water control principle. This system applies torque to oppose the rotation of the engine. As the amount of water within the dynamometer is increased, the load (or resistance) on the engine also increases. The resistance developed by the dynamometer increases with the speed of the engine.

Go Power Systems offers two series of hydraulic (water brake) dynamometers: D Series high speed/medium torque (for gasoline engines) and the DT Series low speed/high torque (for diesel engines).

All of our engine dynos are portable and can be purchased alone or as part of a complete test package.

There are a wide variety of adapters and engine carts available for attachment to standard engine types. We can design adapters for virtually any application.

Go Power Systems offers cooling towers, engine carts, engine adapters and many other accessories necessary to outfit test cells from the entry-level to the most sophisticated automated data acquisition & control systems.
