This engine test
cell is an assembly that consists
of the test cell building, fuel
skid, and external fuel tank. The
building is a modular unit fabricated
entirely with insulated panels.
A panel wall separates the building
into two rooms: the test cell and
control room. The test cell was
assembled and tested at James A.
Staley Company facilities prior
to being delivered to the end user.
