Inlet Testing

Channel 19 and Channel 20 may be used for inlet performance studies at static conditions:

  • Inlet Recovery
  • Distortion and Swirl Studies
  • Mass Flow Calibrations
  • Sand Ingestion / Particle Separation Efficiency

Channel 20:

  • Primary flow from 500HP suction blower
  • Mass flow up to 38 lbm/s
  • May be configured with multiple tertiary flows for scavenge
  • Large test cell suited for full scale turboshaft and turboprop inlets

Channel 19:

  • Primary flow from 250HP suction blower
  • Mass flow up to 18 lbm/s
  • May be configured with multiple tertiary flows for scavenge
  • Suited for full scale, sub-scale, or sectors of turboshaft and turboprop inlets
