Wind Tunnels
Increasing demands for improved vehicle efficiency and comfort, and for lower noise levels require components to be tested in wind tunnels. Since the beginning of the early thirties Howden has been considered as an innovative and competent partner for the supply of wind tunnel fans.
Our wind tunnel fans are used in all possible wind tunnel applications :·
- aerodynamic wind tunnels for velocities up to 300 km
/h.
- acoustic wind tunnels.
- climatic wind tunnels with a temperature range from - 50° to 60°C.
- low temperature wind tunnels for operating temperatures down to - 173°C.
The following industries rely on our wind tunnel fans to provide their testing needs:
- automotive industries and related sub-suppliers.
- motor sport (i.e. Formula 1).
- aircraft and space technology.
- universities.
Irrespective of whether the application requires the use of aluminium blades or highly sophisticated carbon fibre blades, whether individual blade setting or simultaneously adjustable blade setting at fan rest is necessary, we can provide an optimised solution. Our scope of work includes engineering, supply, installation as well as extensive other services e.g. maintenance contracts.
