Educational

Froude has a long history of supplying engine test equipment to Colleges and Universities for educational instruction and research work, which dates back over half a century. The simple hydraulic dynamometer with sluice gate load control and spring balance torque measurement formed the standard for student instruction but has now been replaced with more sophisticated equipment as educational demands increase. Integration with PC based data acquisition equipment is also included as a vital component in an increasingly high-tech industry.

Universities frequently engage in advanced engine research projects, often sponsored by the automotive industry and sophisticated engine test equipment has been supplied to meet this requirement.

Froude Hofmann’s and the Go-Power range of engine dynamometers offer exceptional durability and accuracy which makes them ideal for R&D and Education applications. Our less expensive range of Go-Power portable engine dynamometers can already be found in a variety of educational facilities.  The portable engine dynamometers are used in a variety of school applications that include small engine and diesel technologies.
