Description
An experimental facility based on a closed-loop thermal oil circuit, designed for the characterisation, validation, and operation of thermohydraulic equipment under conditions representative of industrial processes.
It operates at temperatures of up to 350°C, with precise temperature and flow rate control.
The facility enables the testing of components such as heat exchangers, valves, pumps, and other thermal devices under both steady-state and dynamic conditions, including thermal cycling and load variations.
It also allows the evaluation of waste heat recovery systems based on radiation.
Equipment
