Process for testing a compressor or a combustor of a gas turbine engine using a large compressed air storage reservoir |
摘要 |
A process for testing a combustor of a gas turbine engine, where a large volume of compressed air is stored in a large reservoir of at least 10,000 m3 such as an underground storage cavern, compressed air from the storage reservoir is passed through heat exchanger to preheat the compressed air to a temperature that would normally be discharged from a compressor, the preheated compressed air is burned with a fuel in the combustor, and additional compressed air from the reservoir is passed through an injector located downstream from the combustor to produce a decreased pressure such that a low atmospheric condition at the combustor exit is simulated. |

1. A process for testing a combustor of a gas turbine engine under low atmospheric conditions comprising the steps of:
filling an underground storage reservoir with compressed air; securing a combustor to be tested on a test stand; passing compressed air from the underground storage reservoir through a heater to increase a temperature of the compressed air; passing the heated compressed air into a combustor for testing; burning a fuel with the heated compressed air within the combustor; and, passing additional compressed air from the underground storage reservoir into an ejector located downstream of the combustor to decrease a pressure at an exhaust of the combustor to simulate a low atmospheric condition. |
