CEL selected by CVUT for R&D turbine test benches

Representatives from CEL Aerospace and CVUT, the Czech technical university in Prague, have signed a contract today for the design, build and delivery of three test benches for the testing of aviation gas turbines. The test benches will be fully autonomous and mobile, the first one will consist of a dynamometer based, fully containerized test cell, with a containerized control room and attendant facilities, intended to test Turbopropeller or Turboshaft engines of up to 3,000 SHP. The two other benches will also be fully autonomous and consist of mobile propeller test stands. All test benches come with their own CEL proprietary Data Acquisition and Control Systems (DACS), and can operate over 750 channels in Low Frequency (100-200 KHz) and High Frequency (200 KHz) modes.
