The paper presents a range of test benches that form the base for researching gas dynamic processes the processes of mixture and combustion in the burner of a gas turbine engine combustion chamber, as well as benches for testing full-size combustor chambers both separately and as part of the engine. This base is necessary for the production and optimization of low emission gas turbine engine combustion chambers.
The article describes methods of investigation of the processes inside the combustion chamber of the gas turbine engine. The investigation is aimed at revealing changes in the combustion chamber workflow depending on the changes in the operating conditions of the gas turbine engine. Such investigations allow us to find design flaws and analyze possibilities of removing them. The main advantage of these investigations is that all experiments have been conducted in full scale. The article also presents a principal scheme of the test facility on which an engine was tested. The parameters being measured and methods of conducting measurements in the combustion chamber are presented. The conclusion is made that the implementation of measures described in the article makes it possible to analyze the intrachamber processes with the aim of developing it or testing various methods of providing its durability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
