Atec, Inc., utilizes the latest in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to verify flow disruptions across the total flow field of a test cell. Our experience in managing cell depression, pumping ratios, velocities, and other flow characteristics comes together to make Atec a highly proficient choice for the design of an efficient test cell. Our recent redesign of an inlet/exhaust collector/stack system for a 5000-shp engine for the US Navy resulted in an 100 percent improvement in cell flow characteristics, eliminating all recirculation issues in the test cell.

A proper inlet system must be designed in conjunction with the exhaust of the facility to achieve total cell flow with minimal cell depression. Our experience designing test cell intake and exhaust systems provides us with the expertise to design and install an effective airflow management system for your test facility.
