Thermal Testing Laboratory
The laboratory houses extensive facilities for the evaluation,
testing and benchmarking of heat transfer and fluid flow
equipment as part of our Thermal Testing Services. A vast array of high accuracy instrumentation
supported with local data acquisition systems and online
data analysis provides clients
with an excellent tool to conduct heat exchanger performance
testing.
A team of dedicated engineers and technicians support the operational
running of the laboratory, to ensure consistency, reliability
and quality control of the projects passing thorough the
department.
At the centre of the purpose built facility is a flexible modular
control system, comprising of two wind tunnels, data acquisition
systems, coolant flow modules, oil flow modules and a chargecooler
module. The in-built flexibility allows a host of testing options
to be undertaken to suit specific customer requirements, from
simple pressure drop investigations to detailed heat rejection
and thermal imaging studies of front end modules and ducting.
Projects
have been completed for a variety of applications, including,
passensger cars, motorcycle, truck, bus, Formula 1, NASCAR, CFD,
military, compressors, industrial and CHP.
