Temperature and Flow Lab

When working in the lab, we learnt that the sophisticated measurement technology is essential for getting good results. Therefore we are continuously observing influences on the result data, following news in instrument technology, learning and improving. Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory also participate in plenty of related projects e.g. development of new thermal and pressure sensors for rolling.



High Temperature Test Bench

The high temperature test bench is used to simulate spray cooling at high initial temperatures. The typical application is continuous casting where the experiment usually starts at 1200°C and finishes below 500°C. The main part of the stand is a test plate, made of an austenitic steel, sized 600x320x30mm.

Linear High Speed Test Bench

This experimental stand was built to study the cooling of linearly fast moving objects. The cooling of long rolled products (beams of various profiles) or the cooling of flat rolled products are typical industrial applications. Given that the movement of the stand is possible to stop at required positions for required duration, it is also oftentimes used for various other projects.

Vertical High Speed Test Bench

This apparatus serves for measurement of cooling intensity vertically moving samples. The maximum weight of sample is 25 kg and can be moved by velocity up to 5 m/s which is constant for at least 1 m of its movement. The vertical bench is also equipped by furnace for heating of samples.
