N2 - The experience gathered during the development and commissioning of a facility for the operation of a 3.5-stages High-Speed Research Compressor (HSRC) is shared with this publication. An overview of the new facility is provided and design aspects of selected subsystems including the support structure, inlet system, throttle valve, lubrication oil system and the test bench control system are presented. Furthermore, it outlines the commissioning of the facility as a whole and describes details of the commissioning, where unexpected strong vibrations occurred in a speed range close to the intended range for compressor operation. A torsional resonance was identified as root cause for these vibrations, what highlights the importance of a torsion analysis during an early design stage. Finally, the approach and the results of an in-situ calibration of the mass flow meter are presented.
