Study of thermal behaviour of linear tubular machines
Figure 11 shows photos and video of the experimental setup built for the study of thermal behaviour of linear tubular machines. Thermocouples are distributed over the stator and translator in order to measure temperature distributions under different operating conditions. A coil placed in the translator is used as a heat source, and the translator is driven by a rotating machine. The translator is able to reach linear speeds as high as 3 m/s.
This experimental setup has been built in the framework of a project co-funded by the region of "Normandie" (France) and the European Union, with the European regional development fund (ERDF).
