After a very successful testing session
last January, yesterday, Francesco and Giulio from StroNGER tested additional configurations of
piezoTsensor at the CRIACIV wind testing facility in Florence (CRIACIV).
Testing configurations included both a
rectangular and a T-shaped section (the later exhibiting not only Vortex
Shedding but also galloping aerodynamic phenomena).
The results are very promising at this stage, in view of the final phase and conclusion of the ESA project next year.
piezoTsensor is a novel
product by StroNGER, currently under development in collaboration with ESA
(European Space Agency): an advanced sensor for the optimum energy management
in building HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition) systems.
StroNGER srl has an European
patent pending on piezoTsensor.
