COMPONENT EVALUATIONS USING NON-ENGINE BASED TEST SYSTEM
摘要
<p>A method for evaluating one or more components using a non-engine based test system, the method comprising: providing a non-engine based test system comprising a combustor in fluid communication with the one or more component; supplying fuel and air to the combustor under feed conditions comprising a controlled air to fuel ratio (AFR), the feed conditions producing a feedstream flowpath; combusting at least a portion of fuel in the feedstream flowpath under combustion conditions producing an exhaust product while preventing substantial damage to the combustor; and, exposing the one or more component to the exhaust product under alternate conditions other than the accelerated aging conditions or drive cycle conditions.</p>
