Air Flow Bench - Modular Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14040

This modular and comprehensive system is explicitly engineered for the pedagogical demonstration of core aerodynamic principles [1]. The apparatus effectively models the behavior of bodies subjected to flow from a compressible fluid, enabling users to thoroughly investigate air flow phenomena [2]. Key experimental objectives include familiarization with fundamental fluid concepts and the optimization of both drag forces and the surrounding flow field around immersed bodies [3]. The design facilitates easy setup and safe, hands-on practical experience, promoting a deeper understanding of fluid dynamics with minimal supervision [4].

Air Flow Bench and Operational Features

The system's core is an Air Flow Bench – Modular Design, which utilizes a centrifugal fan capable of generating high air flow velocities, up to 40 meters per second (m/s). Fan speed is precisely controlled using a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). To ensure experimental reliability, a stabilization tank equipped with a flow straightener produces a consistent, low-turbulence, and reproducible flow within the measurement section [5]. A specialized nozzle shape is employed to deliver a largely homogeneous velocity distribution across the air flow [6]. Accessories are rapidly interchangeable via quick-release fasteners, and the measurement section includes dedicated points for measuring pressure and velocity, typically requiring a multi-tube manometer for clear pressure indication.
