Reference project WT327

Systronik Elektronik u. Systemtechnik GmbH – Ilmensee

For Systronik, the WT327 wind tunnel was further developed and built in Revision C. The wind tunnel is characterized by its low installation height, divisible corners, and a semi-open test section with an easily accessible working area.

Highlights

  • Contraction of 4,5
  • Separable Corners
  • Low build hight
  • Open testsection (2/4) with low turbulence level

Product description

Basic Structure
The WT327 consists of a steel profile welded construction and galvanized sheet metal. The additional painting gives the wind tunnel an attractive appearance and is also protection against corrosion. The wind tunnel has separable corners to enable installation in laboratories that are difficult to access. Access to the inside of the wind tunnel is possible through manholes in all relevant segments.

Drive
The WT327 is driven by a vibration-decoupled axial fan. The fan, which is mounted on spring shock absorbers, is connected to the wind tunnel via canvas flanges. This ensures low-noise system operation and prevents influence on the measuring section. The installation of the fan on cross beams results in optimal freedom in the area of ​​the measuring section.

Flow preparation
In the sieve chamber turbulence is suppressed by two sieves with optimal distance from one another. Furthermore, irregularities in the flow direction of the incoming air are suppressed in a honeycomb straightener. In a nozzle, the nozzle geometry of which corresponds to a 7th order polynomial, the flow is prepared and any turbulence that may be present is suppressed.

Measurement

The measurement in the wind tunnel is carried out with a half-open testsection (2/4).
