The <a href="testcell.html"> test cell</a>, covering an area of 136 sq. meters, is housed in a soundproof enclosure, which has also been especially designed so as to minimise the vibrational loading of the building. The test cell floor is covered with modular gratings while its roof consists of detachable covers which can be easily removed using a travelling gantry crane. Ventilation and temperature control of the test cell is achieved by employing two centrifugal fans, capable of maintaining an air through flow of 25,000 cu. meters per hour. The test cell is also equipped with a modern <a href=" firefighting.html"> fire fighting system</a>. The test cell is located in the basement of the Laboratory. </p> <p> The <a href="croom.html"> control room</a>, located one level above and overlooking the test cell, houses the monitoring, alarm and control systems for the facility. A state-of-the-art <a href="hfo.html"> fuel separation and conditioning </a> facility is located ajdacent to the fuel tank room. Special provision has also been made for future installation of experimental catalytic reduction facility for emissions control. </p> <!-- <div class="feature"> <img src="pict/image894.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="190" /> --> <!-- Facilities: <a href="testcell.html"> test cell</a>, <a href="croom.html"> control room</a>, <a href="hfo.html"> fuel separation and conditioning </a>, <a href=" firefighting.html"> fire fighting system</a>. <br> --> View related paper <a href="repos/lfmpr.pdf">The New Laboratory Facility MARTHA for Marine Propulsion Research and Development</a>, CIMAC Congress 2001, Hamburg. <br> <br> <h3> Supporting Facilities </h3> <br> <li><a href="sup_facilities.html"> Auxiliary Power Generator</a> </li> <li><a href="sup_facilities.html"> Workshops</a> </li> <br> <br> <h4></h4> <h5> &copy; 2007 LME</h5> </body> </html>
