Details

The Environmental Control System Test Bench – Model A0624, developed and manufactured by the Neometrix Group, is a high-precision, modular, and aerospace-grade ground testing platform specifically designed for the qualification and validation of Environmental Control System (ECS) units across the entire spectrum of aerospace platforms.
Originally engineered for the Environmental Control System units of the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), this test bench has since evolved into a fully customizable and scalable platform, making it ideal for military and civilian aviation applications, including helicopters, fighter jets, transport aircraft, business jets, UAVs, and even space cabin pressurization systems.

Cross-Platform Compatibility for All Aerospace ECS Units
The Environmental Control System Test Bench is built with adaptability at its core. Its modular design and interchangeable adaptor assemblies enable seamless integration with ECS units of the following platforms:
• Rotary-Wing Aircraft: ALH, LUH, Apache, Mi-17, Chinook
• Fixed-Wing Fighters: Tejas, Mirage, Rafale, Su-30MKI
• Transport Aircraft: C-130, C-17, IL-76, Dornier 228
• Civil Aircraft: Airbus A320, A330, Boeing 737, 777, 787
• Business Jets: Falcon, Gulfstream, Embraer, Bombardier
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: HALE/MALE and tactical UAVs
• Space Applications: Cabin ECS simulation for LEO capsules
• Research Labs: For R&D, prototype qualification, endurance cycling

Complete Functional Testing Capabilities
The test bench can simulate nearly all conditions encountered by an Environmental Control System unit during actual flight, including:
• Bleed Air Supply Simulation (up to 600°F, 40 psi)
• Ram Air Inlet Simulation (passive airflow and dynamic pressure modes)
• Temperature Conditioning (chillers/heaters optional)
• Humidity Regulation & Dehumidification Testing
• Fan/Turbine Speed and Flow Validation
• Manifold Integrity, Air Tightness & Pressure Drop Tests
• Conditioned Air Flow Outlet Performance
• Overboard Vent Simulation and Pressure Dump Valves Testing

Engineering Design and Construction
The entire platform is based on a solid engineering foundation:
• Heavy-Duty Structural Frame – Designed for vibration isolation and rigid support under full test load.
• High-Tolerance Adaptors – All interface flanges are machined within ±0.01 mm accuracy to ensure leak-tight and repeatable coupling with ECS units.
• All-Welded, Leak-Proof Assembly – Socket welding and TIG welding used for all air path components, with hydrostatic leak testing.
• Electro-Polished SS Surfaces – For cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance.

Instrumentation and Software Integration
• Real-Time Parameter Logging – DAQ integration enables automated test recording.
• Built-In Sensor Calibration Ports – For verifying the accuracy of in-line temperature and pressure sensors.
• Custom Report Generator – Automated test reports for QA/QC and traceability.
• Remote Monitoring Ready – With optional IoT dashboard integration.

Deliverables and Documentation
• Complete drawing package: 2D & 3D models, GA drawings, P&ID, fitting diagrams, and room layouts
• Operation and Maintenance Manual
