(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
• Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Optional items: 7, 8, 9, and 10.
• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
• 1 ATENG 11812. Unit:
  Bench-top wind tunnel in open circuit and with incompressible subsonic flow.
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
  Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the
  elements similar to the real one.
• Inlet section with lips, a haven section and a 8:1
  contraction ratio.
• Transparent working area of 50 x 250 mm to assemble
  and test the different models.
  The working area includes a Pitot static tube mounted
  in the top side.
  Outlet section with diffuser that allows to avoid
  the generation of turbulences, which can generate
• damages the current quality in the working area. Unit: ATENG 11812
• Variable speed axial-flow fan, computer controlled:
• Velocity range: 0 – 2800 rpm.
• Air velocity in the working area: 0 – 27 m/s.
  Elements included
  Sixty different pressure tappings (along the tunnel and in the models).
• Thirty differential pressure sensors, range: 0 – 1 psi.
  Several models and accessories are available, allowing a comprehensive study of subsonic aerodynamics.
  All these models include several pressure tappings.
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and
  the importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements. TA1. House Scale Model
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical
  support, are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  TA2. Cylinder Model
  operate many units in a network.
