TESTING USING A NON-ENGINE BASED TEST SYSTEM AND EXHAUST PRODUCT COMPRISING ALTERNATIVE FUEL EXHAUST

摘要

A method for testing one or more test components comprising: providing a non-engine based test system comprising a combustor in fluid communication with the one or more test components; supplying air and fuel to the combustor at an air to fuel ratio (AFR) and under feed conditions effective to produce a feedstream flowpath, wherein the fuel comprises one or more alternative fuel which is gaseous at ambient conditions comprising atmospheric pressure and a temperature of about 20° C or higher, the supplying air and fuel comprising feeding the one or more alternative fuel to a pressure regulator to produce one or more pressure regulated alternative fuel and feeding the one or more pressure regulated alternative fuel to the combustor; combusting at least a portion of fuel in the feedstream flowpath under combustion conditions effective to produce an exhaust product comprising one or more alternative fuel exhaust without substantial damage to the combustor; and, exposing the one or more test components to the exhaust product under test conditions effective to produce one or more treated components. And, a test system comprising a non­engine based combustor in fluid communication with a fuel supplier, an air supplier, and a test component, the fuel supplier comprising one or more pressurized fuel container in fluid communication with one or more pressure regulator in fluid communication with the combustor.
