Olga - Portable System for Pressurisation of Repair Patch

In the field of composite repair, maximum pressure applied to a repair patch is a must wherever it is possible to increase the compaction of the plies and to decrease the porosity. Olga is a portable system that allows to pressurise the repair patch up to 23 psi (1.5 bar).

Composed of :

• The pressurisation tool with its flexible pads for adaptation to contoured parts
• The pressure and vacuum generator with safety function controller

Main features and specifications :

• Vacuum generation
• Control of bladder pressure level at a determined set-point
• Permanent checking of set-point acceptability
• Digital and gauge displays of bladder pressure
• Digital display of vacuum in the pads
• Permanent checking of pressure versus vacuum compatibility
• Venting safety circuits
• Fail Safe Design
• User-Friendly Control Features

This equipment is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 732303.
