About the GTRC...

Cardiff University's GTRC undertakes research in the field of novel combustion systems, components, and fuels, under elevated conditions of temperature and pressure. Measurements can be made with the following maximum throughputs:

     - Combustion Air Flow Rate: <5 kg/s
     - Combustion Pressure: <1.6 MPa
     - Combustion Air Pre-Heat Temperature: <900 K

What we do…

With an extensive suite of experimental facilities available, combustion systems are developed with both traditional and alternative fuels.

A range of non-intrusive measurement techniques facilitate a better understanding of the fundamental phenomena within the combustion system without influencing what is measured.
