Scale Models

Tests on scale models of vehicles, towers, bridges and buildings, measuring acting forces, pressures and vortex shedding effects.

.

Helmets and sports equipment

The wind tunnel is equipped for tests on helmets, measuring of the aerodynamic forces with three axial load cell and mapping pressures acting on the helmet or other sport equipment with a 32 channels high frequency pressure scanner.

  

Industrial Installations

Experimental tests on Centralised steam distributors for air treatment plants

Site

 

The structure is equipe for the characterization of gravity dampers (defining the opening characteristic as a function of the speed) and for the tests of steam generation systems for industrial applications                                                                                   

Impiant ind pelli

Aeolic

The facility is equipped with all systems and instrumentation to carry out characterization of small wind turbines (with vertical and horizontal axis) with a maximum diameter of 2 meters. Tests inlcude performance validation, Wi-Fi strain gauge system, optimization of the inverter power curve and calculation of the power coefficient (Cp). A Vortex generator can be used to increase the turbulence level within the test chamber.
