Bauer has over 40 years of direct experience developing fuel nozzle test stands. When you order a 1579 series fuel nozzle test stand from us, the product you receive is the result of 40 years of product design and data acquisition system improvements that save operator time and increase productivity.
Cost savings:
| 1. | Seamlessly integrated into existing processes. |
| 2. | Easily connected to customer facilities (i.e.
single point power connection). |
| 3. | Requires minimal maintenance effort because component access is designed in. |
| 4. | Fixtures do not require tools to change the nozzle being tested. |
| 5. | Automation of operator controls. |
| 6. | Technologically advanced data acquisition system. |
| 7. | Existing test fixture designs. |
| 8. | Universal use and application. |
Key advantages:
Accurate pressure measurement - All test pressures are measured using high accuracy ±0.1% F.S. pressure transducers located within the test stand to remove any effects of fluid head pressure at the nozzle.
Accurate flow measurement - High accuracy Coriolis mass flow measurement devices including fluid specific gravity measurement and display. These flow meters have unequalled accuracy, longer calibration cycles than conventional turbine meters and no moving parts within the flow stream that can become damaged or deteriorate due to wear. Nozzle shroud air flow is measured using a true air mass flow meter for direct digital reading in the applicable engineering units or in terms of effective area when necessary.
Data Acquisition System (DAQ) - Automated versions provide nozzle specific test screens configured in accordance with the nozzles’ CMM.
Visibility - A variable intensity fiber optic light illuminates the spray cone from the bottom of the cone making definition of the spray boundary easily visible. The chamber exhaust system and auto scavenge system work together to keep the viewing area clear of mist and return as much fluid as possible to the fuel supply system.
