Portable Containerized Dynamometer Cell

This facility was purpose built in Sydney Australia to house a dynamometer and associated equipment. Its purpose was to ensure that the complete facility was always portable. To this end it is the same length as a 20 foot shipping container but wider 3.6m ( versus 2.4 m standard Shipping container) and 3.2m high (versus 2.6 std shipping container). The cell incorporates the standard lifting lugs found on shipping containers and can be secured and transported on standard shipping container vehicles.
It comprises two rooms - a control room and an engine test room. It's fully lined with plywood and sound insulated.
It was used for testing high speed single cylinder engines and was fitted with a Schenck W70 dynamometer (no longer fitted). It can easily accommodate larger dynamometers and engines. It has an excellent test bed installed.
Built in 1997 and used until 2002. It has been in stored in warehouse since.
An ideal solution for anyone about to build a dynamometer facility and wants to avoid the mistake of building a facility that can't easily be transported elsewhere.
