i'm reading about full load but still can't get what it's.care to explain a bit everyone ??:shy:
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the concept of "full load" in the context of engine performance, specifically in relation to engine testing using a dynamometer. Participants seek clarification on the definition and practical implications of full load during engine testing.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses confusion about the term "full load" and requests an explanation.
- Another participant asks for more context to understand the question regarding full load.
- A further participant seeks clarification on the topic of full load in relation to engine testing.
- A participant explains that full load refers to the maximum usable horsepower or torque an engine can produce without damage, particularly in the context of using a dynamometer.
- It is noted that full load is associated with steady state conditions at wide open throttle for spark ignition engines or full fuel rack position for diesel engines.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the definition of full load, as there are varying levels of understanding and requests for clarification. Multiple perspectives on the topic remain present.
Contextual Notes
Some participants have not provided sufficient context for their questions, leading to ambiguity in the discussion. There are also varying interpretations of how full load is applied in engine testing.

I have no idea what 'full load' is supposed to mean, you will have to provide more context.

sorry...i'm reading for engine full load.
how to conduct full load when performing engine testing by using dyno? really can't understand it ...

slang used in the dyno room..a dynamometer is a water brake device with load sensors attached to the brake housing. the engine is started and permitted to warm to operating temperature. water is introduced to the water break as the engine RPM is increased. This is done with various percentage of loading.. ( more water to actuate the water brakes stopping mechanism)
there is a limit to the amount of braking the engine will tolerate until the engine stops. Full load is the maximum usable horsepower or torque the engine can safely " pull" without damage.

At a given speed, "full load" is the power developed under steady state conditions at wide open throttle (for a spark ignition engine) or full fuel rack position (for a diesel).
