BOP COMPONENT TEST SYSTEMS

HABCO supplies Custom Test Systems for BOP component R&D as well as production test. Pictured below is a modular 3 station Test Stand which covers virtually all of the fluid handling BOP components in a typical fuel cell power plant including liquid pumps, liquid and gas flow measurement equipment and gas blowers/compressors.

Each station included a independent computer monitoring system with full Data Acquisition and performance logging. The system shown included the following 3 modules.

Module 1 - Liquid Passive Components Test:

Designed for testing passive fluid handling components including flow meters, fluid control valves, filters and other similar items.
Supplied a pressurized source of DI water or other liquid coolants at flow rates to 50 GPM at pressures up to 100 PSIG
Flow measurement to 0.25% accuracy.
Pressure measurement to 0.15% accuracy.
Delta-P pressure drop measurement to 0.25% accuracy.

Module 2 - Liquid Active Components:

Designed for testing of active liquid components such as cooling pumps.
Supplied source of DI water or other liquid coolant with suction pressure control and monitoring at flow rates to 50 GPM.
Back-pressure adjustment with closed loop control to either flow or pressure.
Flow measurement to 0.25% accuracy.
Delta-P pressure drop measurement to 0.25% accuracy
Power source of single and 3 phase power 50 / 60 Hz 110 - 480 Volts at 6Kw total.
Per phase voltage and current monitoring.

Module 3 - Gas Components:

Designed for testing and calibration of gas flow components such as mass flow meters / controllers, pressure blowers and pressure / flow control valves.
Supplied source of blower air at 300 CFM with pressures up to 20 IWC.
Precision back-pressure control valves.
Mass flow calibration source using compressed shop air at flow rated to 200 SCFM. Critical flow ventures used as a flow master for mass flow accuracies of <0.25% of reading.
Pressure measurement with accuracy of 0.025%.
Power source of single and 3 phase power 50 / 60 Hz 110 - 480 Volts at 6Kw total.
Per phase voltage and current monitoring.
