The cold free-jet test facility consists of a Khosla-Crepelle compressor,two storage tanks and pipeline system supplying compressed air to all rooms in the laboratory. The air is pressurized using a 150 HP 2-stage, inter-cooled reciprocating air compressor driven by a three phase induction motor. It can pressurize the air up to 8 bars absolute. The compressed air is stored in two separate storage tanks of total capacity of 20 m3. The compressed air is supplied to the experimental area from storage tanks through 4-inch plumbing.
