TLT-Babcock provides full testing resources for axial and centrifugal fans, both at our assembly
and testing facility located in Medina, Ohio, U.S.A., and in the field. Capabilities include:
- Testing per AMCA specifications
- Full size fan performance testing providing complete flow, pressure, and efficiency data
- Fan overspeed testing
- Field simulation testing of axial fan hydraulic blade adjusting units, and axial fan main bearings
- Fan static resonance ("Bong") testing
- Finite element analysis (FEA)
- Variable speed capabilities to 2000 HP
- Foundation sensitivity on-site testing
- Critical speed analysis using on site actual tested stiffness values
Our assembly and testing facility is centrally located in Medina, Ohio, only fifteen miles from our
Akron headquarters. All fan rotating components are completely assembled and tested at this location
prior to delivery. This facility is capable of performing full size or scale model performance
testing of fans, as well as overspeed testing. At the same time, rebuilds of axial fan rotating
assemblies are performed in our Medina facility.
We also perform a comprehensive suite of field tests to meet the needs of our partners and customers.
