TECNO EL - Test Room Design

Test room design

Endothermic motors

Tecno EL not only produces equipment and software, but can also design and
build a turnkey motor test rooms to meet every requirement.
Our Technical Department will see to all stages of the design, including:

Sound-proof cabin and masonry work
Hydraulic system
Mechanics
Acquisition electronics
Electrical system and primary and secondary lighting system inside and

Ventilation system
Control of cooling tower, cooling pumps, heat exchangers
Accessories inside and outside the test room

The image below shows a typical example of a turnkey endothermic motor test
stand designed and built by Tecno EL.
The electronic equipment, including:

Interfaces
PC
Consumption meter
Safeties rack
Brake feeder
Actuator
Start-up rack
and others….

are housed in a rack cabinet positioned outside the test room.

On the desk under the window in the room or in the immediate vicinity sit the following:

Monitor, keyboard and mouse
Printer
Console for remote controls

All controls for equipment outside and inside the room, including

Ventilation system
Exhaust intake system
Lifting system
50/60 Hz frequency converter with manual and automatic controls
Primary and secondary lighting system
Control of primary and secondary electrical utilities
Fire prevention system
Brake water and engine water cooling pumps
Fuel pumps
Cooling tower circulation pumps
Thermoregulation system

are housed in a second cabinet containing signal lamps and control
buttons that makes for excellent user interface.
In the test rooms pictured you can note some of the features described.

In the close-up above, you can see the brake and its accessories.
The brake was supplied by a leading company in the field and
valuable partner of Tecno EL that has vast experience in designing motor test
rooms in and outside of Italy. Tecno EL can supply
the brake, actuator and related control devices, in addition to performing the wiring
and interfacing with the acquisition equipment.

The room's electrical system and wiring layout are carried out in conformity with the
most recent EEC standards, and are the result our 15-year experience in the field.
Runners and ducts are built in metal, and are aesthetically pleasing and functional
at the same time.The hydraulic and fuel systems have been designed with care, and
pipes are positioned so that they won't interfere with work.

Note, also, how the hoist and exhaust intake system have been positioned intelligently.

Pictured are the CO cylinders positioned outside the test room.
They are part of a fire prevention system that features:

Sprinkler system in the room designed to saturate the environment completely.
Signalling system in room
Fire detector
Electronic control unit located outside room
Group of 3 CO cylinders complete with valves

The electrical box for the fire prevention system

The photo below shows an example of a cooling tower that Tecno EL supplies with
its motor test rooms.

Because they know maximum power of the motors being tested, our technicians
can calculate the size of the tower, the pumps and pipes need to build the entire system.
For the cooling system to operate efficiently, Tecno EL offers the following accessories:

unit of solenoid valves for controlling water
water pump unit, comprising:

tank filling pump
motor water pump
cooling tower water circulation pump

water treatment system, comprising:

dispensing pump
product management box
container of chemical product for water treatment

The photo below shows another example of a motor test room we set up at a
company that wanted to renovate an old room in disuse.
As you can see, even when modernized, the result is extremely functional.
