Presentation Summary:
Tour NASA Glenn Research Center Central
Process System.
The various aeronautical research test beds,
platforms, or facilities at the GRC conduct “real time” testing of
jet engines system, subsystem and components in simulated engine
operation environment.
To simulate altitude flight conditions at GRC,
the Central Process Systems (CPS) provides compressed air at various
pressures, temperatures and humidity levels, as well as exhaust
capability at various vacuum levels and flow rates. The air is
supplied from a diversity of compressors, exhausters, large drive
motors, chillers, heaters, dehydrators, cooling towers and other
auxiliary equipment located primarily in the Central Air Equipment
Building (CAEB) and the Engine Research Building (ERB).
This conditioned air and exhaust is supplied to large and
small test facilities distributed throughout the center.
A DVD presentation of the system functionality and how it is
controlled will be provided along with a guided tour of CAEB,
showing the large Motors, Compressors, Starting Systems and its
controls.
