World’s Largest Wind Tunnel Gets An Electrical Facelift


TDN Electric, a Sunnyvale contractor who specializes in wiring military and space installations, completed the electrical power distribution and control wiring to support infrastructure for the world’s largest wind tunnel. The 40′ x 80′ wind tunnel is located in the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View. TDN’s project work included modifying the wiring for the Caloritech Heater Controller that helps regulate the wind tunnel’s high pressure air system. The project required extensive internal control wiring modification plus testing and commissioning to rigid ANSI/NETA requirements.
