Fuel Icing Temperature shock simulation in Hydraulic Systems

Fuel Icing Testing. Stork EWT can condition fuel to sub zero temperatures, while maintaining flow and pressure conditions. Calibrated amounts of water are then atomized into the fuel system creating the icing simulation. Samples of the fuel are extracted and analyzed using a Karl Fisher Titration system. This can resolve the water contained in the fuel down to the parts per million

Stork EWT can condition high pressure, air, oil, or fuels to extreme high or low temperature conditions while sustaining flow.

System Testing. In addition to testing individual components, the conditions seen in entire systems can be readily reproduced and controlled in a lab operating environment. This capability enables the end-user to obtain a more cost-effective testing solution while also monitoring and observing any synergistic effects.
