piezoTsensor wind tunnel promo

A promo video from the piezoTsensor wind tunnel testing sessions at the UNIFI-CRIACIV- Centro di Ricerca Interuniversitario di Aerodinamica delle Costruzioni e Ingegneria del Vento (Inter-University Research Center for Building Aerodynamics and Wind Engineering)

 

CRIACIV/ test 2

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.

piezoTsensor/PZT components delivery

At StroNGER srl, we will soon start wind tunnel testing for piezoTsensor, the new product currently under development in collaboration with the ESA (European Space Agency) Business Incubator Center.

My colleague Francesco is heavily involved in numerical modelling of different configurations.

Can't wait!
