Shipboard Hydraulics Lab

This facility includes an instrumented, computer-controlled hydraulic power plant that duplicates acoustically quiet fluid flow and pressure from a submarine main and vital service plant. High and low pressure air, electric power, fresh water, and cooling water (1,000,000 Btu heat exchanger) support test set-up and operation. Includes 1,000 gal (pressurized) hydraulic service tank, off-line pump/filter unit and high capacity return line filters. A Compri-Technic Contamination Eliminator is available to clean piping and hoses prior to use and for lay-up. A raised mezzanine supports the control room and another work space.
