Engine Test Cell Design: Facility Controls & Monitoring

dyno INSITES

In this episode, Chris Middlemass and Mike Golda discuss various aspects of controls in a test cell environment. They delve into the importance of controlling ventilation, temperature, and humidity as well as the integration of subsystems using programmable logic controllers (PLCs). They highlight the significance of safety measures, such as emergency stop (E-stop) systems.
The conversation emphasizes the need for human operators to monitor and intervene when necessary, using their senses to detect subtle signs of issues. The overall message underscores the complexity of integrating and ensuring the safe operation of various subsystems in an engine test cell environment.
