Power Machines will test the combustion chamber of the domestic medium-power gas turbine GT-65.1 on full-scale parameters

As part of the development of the domestic medium-power gas turbine GTE-65.1, the specialists of Power Machines have developed design documentation to prepare the fire test stand of Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod for testing a new combustion chamber.

The stand of Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod will provide an opportunity to test the combustion chamber of the GT-65.1 turbine at full-scale parameters, that is, at the flow rate, pressure and temperature of the working fluid created on a real machine. Previously, such tests were carried out at reduced parameters.

You may recall that at the previous stage of work on the GT-65.1 project, in June of this year, a scientific and technical council (STC) was held at Power Machines, where a draft design of a new GTE-65.1 combustion chamber was considered and its main design solutions were confirmed by calculation.
