Project Description

Laboratory needed for validation testing projects on Locomotive Radiators and CACs.

1. Thermal Cycling:
Full size radiator testing, which is approximately 1000 Kg. Low and high temperature water will be required at 98 degree C and at 4 degree C. Air at high pressure shall be applied above the water. Cycles are 250000.

2. Pressure Cycling:
Full size radiator testing, which is approximately 1000 Kg. low and high temperature liquid will be used. High pressure air will be required at 60 psi with cycles of 250000.

3. Shaker Table:
Full size radiator testing. Water will be required to circulate at 40 psig pressure.


4. Highly Accelerated Life Test:
This is the process of testing product by subjecting stress, strain, temperature, pressure etc.. in excess of its normal service parameters to uncover the faults and potential modes of failure in short period of time.

5. Flow Balance Test:
This test is related to CFD Analysis.
