General Description

The Computer Controlled Low Speed Hydrodynamic Tunnel, 150 x 150 mm, "HTLS150/150C", is a hydrodynamic tunnel in a closed water circuit flowing in the vertical plane. The water is circulated by a computer controlled variable speed pump. Different models and accessories are available, allowing a complete study of the hydrodynamics.

The unit includes several sections to reduce flow interference.

The working area consists of a constant section section, where the models are mounted for testing. It is manufactured with fused silica (quartz) windows on the front, back and top face for optical testing. This section includes a Pitot tube in its upper part to study static pressure, dynamic pressure and total pressure. It also includes a removable screen at the inlet to increase the turbulence of the flow.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
