Super heated exhaust is a byproduct of engine testing in the Engine Research Building (ERB) at NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center.
\nGenerally, the tests involve burning fuel or using heated air in engine test cells.\u00a0 The exhaust from the tests can approach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0 To protect the building systems and for the safety of the occupants, water is sprayed into the hot exhaust to cool the air quickly.\u00a0 The water is then sent to cooling towers to recirculate for the duration of the tests.
\nThe buildings in the ERB complex are some of the first buildings constructed at NASA Glenn.\u00a0 This building contains the electrical switchgear that operates support systems for engine testing and other facilities at Lewis Field.\u00a0
