General Description

The Aerodynamic Testing Bench, "ATBB", has two main components: a radial fan with speed control and a working section where the different accessories for the tests are fixed.

The radial blower impels the air through an air intake pipe to a rectifier that stabilizes the air, eliminates the turbulences and makes the air flow that reaches the working section be homogeneous. The air leaves the rectifier by a nozzle, where its speed is accelerated, and it is injected into the working chamber.

Accessories that allow different experiments can be attached to the working section in a comfortable and simple way.

After the working section, the air is driven to an air outlet pipe.

There are up to 45 measuring points in which the pressure can be measured, both along the circuit and in the accessories. For pressure measurements the Manometer Panel. 16 Manometer tubes, "ATB/MB", is required. The manometer panel is connected to the pressure taps by flexible hoses fitted with quick-release couplings.
