After testing a vehicle on an eddy current chassis dynamometer, it is crucial to allow the eddy current absorbers to cool for at least 3 minutes by keeping the vehicle running at 30 MPH with no load on the absorbers. This cooling down period is important for the safety and longevity of the dynamometer, as it allows the absorbers to safely cool after becoming heated during vehicle testing. Not following this cooling procedure can negatively impact the lifespan of the chassis dynamometer.

1. Eddy Current Chassis Dynamometer Cool Down Time
When testing a vehicle on the Power Test CF22EC Chassis Dynamometer, it is very important to allow
time for the eddy current absorbers to cool before they stop rotating. Once the test has been
completed, keep the vehicle running at 30 MPH with no load on the absorbers for a minimum of 3
minutes. This will allow time for the absorbers to cool to a safe temperature. This is a crucial step that
is often over looked and, if not performed, will affect the longevity of the chassis dynamometer.
