This section is not meant to imply that a dyno room is essential to repeatable results
on a Dynojet dynamometer. However, a dyno room with an engine cooling intake fan,
exhaust extraction, and noise reduction capabilities can add a new dimension to your
shop.
A proper dyno room design will help to ensure repeatable, accurate runs. A good
dyno room should do the following:
• minimize noise
• provide a controlled environment for testing
• provide a view window (safety glass) for customers
• be designed with safety in mind
Intake Air Fan—
After building your dyno room, you will need to supply an intake air
fan. The intake air fan supplies air to cool the bike’s engine while supplying fresh
oxygen for you and your bike to breathe. It is a common misconception that you
cannot tune a bike without a large fan simulating exact road conditions; however, a
good cooling fan is the only requirement for consistent diagnostics and tuning. The
installed fan should be 5200 CFM.
Equalizer Box—
If the air flow rate coming into the dyno room is greater than the air
flow rate leaving the dyno room, the room will become pressurized. A pressurized
dyno room will make measured power misleading. To compensate, you need an
equalizer box. The equalizer box is a baffled (to reduce noise) vent to the outside of
your dyno room. The size of the equalizer box is dependent on the size of your dyno
room and the size of your fans.
Exhaust Extraction—
An exhaust fan is needed to remove exhaust gasses, especially
carbon monoxide, from the dyno room. Carbon monoxide is potentially lethal to
people if not removed from the room and will affect engine power when mixed with
fresh air. Plans for exhaust extraction (P/N 73429201) are available from Dynojet.
Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Breathing it could
cause death. Operate machine in well ventilated area.
Fire Suppression—
Always have adequate fire suppression or fire extinguishers in
your dyno room.
Industrial Noise Control, Inc.—
Industrial Noise Control, Inc. offers a zinc-coated
steel room custom built to your specifications. This room meets all dyno room
requirements. The dyno room must be clean and dry with a comfortable room air
temperature above 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), and have some system
of exhaust extraction. For more information on a dyno room, refer to your
Pre-Installation Guide For Model 200i, 250i, 200iP, and 250iP Motorcycle
Dynamometers (P/N 98129103).
