This is a combined wind tunnel and smoke
generator powered by a synchronous a.c. motor driving a centrifugal
blower and capable of producing wind speeds of 10 m/s in the test
section.
Low turbulence air flow is achieved by the use of 3 gauze screens, a fine honeycomb and a 9:1 contraction.
The test section is 25mm x 250mm x 250mm and has a viewing area that can be illuminated by an integral strip light.
Models are mounted in the viewing area on a rotatable support.
Provision is made for a smoke rake
immediately before the contraction. Smoke is produced by the atomisation
of a heated, medicinal quality, white oil in an air stream.
The resulting vapour is non-hazardous and gives a highly visible smoke ideal for photography. A basic set of models is provided.
A technical manual including product description installation operation and maintenance manual.
