Axial fan test unit
Model VEA 112


  • The axial fan test unit is complete with instrumentation and includes a technical and instruction manual.
  • The aspiring conduit and the fan can be disconnected from the rest of the unit and set up separately.
  • The components are easily separated allowing instructors to vary the design of specific projects.
  • Open circuit
UTILITIES
