Wind Tunnel System Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EELE-13364
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Wind Tunnel System (Product ID: 13364) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It is a suction-type, open-circuit low speed wind tunnel with a 0.4 m square test section for aerodynamic teaching and research.
Quick Answer
The tunnel runs continuously from 0.5 to 40 m/s through a 0.4 x 0.4 x 1.4 m removable test section with acrylic windows, fed by a 1.6 m bell mouth, a 1.4 m settling chamber with honeycomb and three screens, and a 12:1 contraction. A six-bladed 0.9 m FRP fan on an approximately 20 kW, 1800 rpm DC motor drives the flow, giving mean flow uniformity within ±0.3% and a wall boundary layer within 25 mm at 40 m/s. An external floor-mounted three-component strain gauge balance, a 32-channel pressure scanner and a 2-D motorised probe traverse feed a PC system that plots pressure distribution, lift, drag, pitching moment, wake and boundary-layer data. Aerofoil, cylinder, half-wing, bridge, automobile and building models with pressure taps are included.

Where This Is Used
Used in aeronautical, mechanical, civil and automobile engineering labs; smoke flow visualisation, a noise detector and a boundary layer probe are part of the set. Related: Subsonic Wind Tunnel (Product ID: 13362) and Aerodynamic Trainer (Product ID: 13365). Please confirm the balance ranges at quotation. It needs a three-phase supply installed by an electrician; keep the fan safety screen in place and use the emergency stop before entering the test section.
