AC-LB Series

Description

Power Test AC-Load Bank (AC-LB) engine dynamometers provides a water-free testing solution for low-inertia applications. Featuring an AC load bank and generator combination, the AC-LB delivers high-absorption capabilities in a complete system that doesn’t require permanent installation. By utilizing a load bank to apply a load to the engine, and dissipating the the load as heat, the AC-LB avoids the requirement of a permanently installed water re-circulation and cooling system. The load bank is housed outdoors where the heat can freely dissipate without inhibiting testing or other day to day operations.
Additionally, the AC-LB is designed with a mounted torsional coupling that absorbs torque spikes from the engine eliminating potential damage to the driveshaft and dynamometer. This also adds to the operators ability to change speeds through the RPM range of the engine and dynamometer.
