Customized Wind Tunnel
The Wenham (blower-type) wind tunnel was custom built for testing spray nozzle performance in environments with co-flow, counter-flow and cross-flow air such as gas conditioning, wet compression, spray drying of products and inlet cooling in turbines.
The wind tunnel is specifically designed to test spray nozzle performance including drop size and velocity. Measuring drop size and velocity is critical in many different applications such as gas conditioning, wet compression, spray drying of products and inlet cooling in turbines.
A variety of tests can be performed in the wind tunnel eliminating the
need for theoretical calculations or guesswork about nozzle performance
in an exact environment. Our drop size analyzers are used in conjunction
with the wind tunnel to measure drop size and velocity. Additional spray
characteristics such as spray angle, spray pattern, spray coverage, evaporation
rate, dwell time and residence time can be tested using velocities from
510 to 10,690 feet/min.
