Welcome to the Gas Turbine Research Centre
New High Pressure Optical Pressure Casing CommissionedThe GTRC enables novel research studies to be conducted into the functionality of new Gas Turbine (GT) combustion systems, components and fuels under elevated conditions of temperature and pressure as would be experienced within a gas turbine engine during operation. Measurements can be made with the following maximum throughputs:
An extensive suite of test rigs is available for the characterisation of fuel sprays and nozzles, and combustion systems using traditional fuels as well as alternative and renewable fuels. Non-intrusive measurement techniques enable a better understanding of the fundamental phenomena occurring within the combustion system without influencing what is being measured. Exhaust gas samples are collected and transmitted to a comprehensive on-line gas analysis suite.
