AEROSPACE
01
Introduction
As the technological driving force of many developments in other areas, the Aerospace Industry is a technological sector where INOVOAL has found its place as a provider of high added value solutions.
The major goals of aerospace activities are the improvement of the population’s quality of life and the conservation and improvement of the environment, as well as the provision of information to contribute to efficient government administration. This implies a huge challenge for developments at the cutting edge of technology. That is the reason why at INOVOAL we focus on actively participating in the main areas of concern within this sector.
02
Solutions
We specialize in providing global solutions for aerospace investigation and development centers, covering all aspects of installations for environmental trials.
INOVOAL specializes in design, manufacture, set up and start up the equipment that reproduces the real conditions that satellites and space equipment must face, allowing fast, reliable and repeatable trials.
SUB-SYSTEMS
04
Cryogenic Pipelines
Transportation of cryogenic fluids requires special pipework, manufactured and tested for such ends. We manufacture them in Stainless Steel, with Stainless Steel, covered by super insulating material and wrapped with a sleeve where the vacuum is generated. They transport the fluid maintaining the required functioning pressure without generating superficial condensations.
03
Control Systems
At INOVOAL we develop complete control systems which allow our clients to have manual control of all the components as well as to work with complete automation, ensuring, in both cases, safe, flexible and efficient execution. The interfaces of each system are designed in a friendly manner following all the requirements of our clients. As for data acquisition, protection, backup and treatment, examples of the capabilities of our systems are parameters control, trials cycles programming, components automation and activities programming.
02
Vacuum Systems
Pursuant to the needs of our clients, the team of engineers specialized in vacuum systems choose the best method to guarantee the best performance. Depending on the size of the chamber, the required speed and the quality of the atmosphere, this system may combine mechanical and rotary pumps (Pre-Vacuum Stage) with Turbo-molecular and Cryogenic pumps (High Vacuum Stage), reaching Extreme High Level Vacuum levels of up to 10-7 mbar.
01
Thermal Systems
These systems are critical during the environmental trials of sensitive equipment in order to verify their behavior within the different thermal profiles to which they are subjected. They can be configured within all ranges of sizes and capacity of shrouds, scavenger plates, contamination plates and cold tables.
