LRI-AAST: L2 laboratory: PROP1 and PROP2 test cells
Lab | Equipment | Application |
---|---|---|
L2 | PROP1 – propeller test cell 1 PROP2 – propeller test cell 2 |
Test cells are designed for complete testing of turboprop engines up to 1500 kW at a stationary site. It allows not only monitoring and capturing of vibration characteristics of individual engine parts but also characteristics of all engine operating parameters (temperature and pressure, power, consumption, noise, etc.). |
Location
Two mobile propeller test stand laboratories for turboprop engine are located at the Hradec Králové Airport. The laboratories are equiped with a sophisticated propeller system and a stationary site reducer, the HW and SW equipment of the test rooms enables monitoring and sensing of the vibration characteristics of individual parts of the complete engine (including the drive propeller).
Paratemeters
