Facility main features

The location of the SIET labs, inside an operating power station, allows us to exploit energy and fluids to perform tests in the real operating conditions of the components being tested.

The facilities have the following characteristics:

Steam
8 kg/s, 10 MPa, 500 °C

Water
high pressure: 200 kg/s, 16 MPa, 300 °C
low pressure: 250 kg/s, 2 MPa, 25°C

Oil
high pressure: 0.15 kg/s, 10 MPa
low pressure: 1 kg/s, 0.5 MPa

Air
high pressure: 0.01 m3/s , 10 MPa
low pressure: 0.15 m3/s, 0.7 MPa

Electric power
AC: 9 MW
DC: 6.5 MW
