HEAT EXCHANGERS TEST BENCH

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes a test bench designed for evaluating heat exchangers, focusing on efficiency, mass flow differential pressure (Dp), and temperature differential (DT). It is suitable for testing radiators used in various applications such as cars, heavy vehicles, agricultural machinery, and special applications.

System Components: The test bench comprises four circuits: primary air, secondary air, water/glycol mixture, and oil. Each circuit is controlled for flow, pressure, and temperature to simulate operating conditions. A control console with a data acquisition system (DAS) manages all operations and records test reports.

Technical Specifications:

Main Air: Temperature range from ambient to 50°C ±1°C, mass flow between 1,500 and 20,000 Kg/h, and a hydraulic head of 1300 Pa at maximum flow.
Secondary Air: Inlet temperature between 175°C and 230°C ±1°C, mass flow from 180 to 1,800 Kg, and an inlet hydraulic head of 90 kPa.
Liquid Side 1: Utilizes a water/glycol mixture with a maximum temperature range of 80°C to 125°C ±1°C, power of 140 kW, flow between 2,000 and 20,000 l/h, and a maximum flow head hydraulic pressure greater than 35 kPa.
Oil: Uses ISO VG46 oil with a maximum temperature range of 70°C to 130°C ±1°C, power of 30 kW, flow between 500 and 10,000 l/h, and a maximum flow pressure of approximately 1 bar.

Safety Features: The test bench includes safety devices such as an empty circuit check, door electric lock, emergency button, automatic test shutdown in case of component failure, oil leakage, or warnings, overpressure valve, and maximum temperature thermostat.

Supply Requirements: The system requires an electric supply of 400 Vac at 50 Hz with a power capacity of 200 kW, air supply at 6 bar, and water supply at 3.5 bar.

Dimensions and Weight: The test bench measures 15,000 x 6,500 x 4,000 mm and has a raw weight of approximately 4,500 kg.

Color and Customization: The standard color is white RAL 9010, and the system is customizable on demand.
