Test Facilities
CEPEDA regularly conducts acceptance, qualification, and research testing on life support equipment. We maintain fully-functioning environmental and high-pressure air test facilities capable of the following:
- Atmospheric air @ 700+ CFM with variable temperature and humidity
- Synthetic atmospheres with known levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2)
- Chilled water with flowrates up to 20 GPM and temperatures as low as 45°F
- Electrical power, 440V, 3 phase
- Monitoring of CO2, H2, and carbon monoxide (CO) levels
- High-pressure air up to 5000 PSI at 150 SCFM
- Airborne sound measurements per MIL-STD-740-1
- Structureborne vibratory measurements per MIL-STD-740-2
- Data acquisition system for automated collection of pressures, temperatures, flow rates, and dew points
Test Equipment
