Compressor Test Facility – AneCom AeroTest, Wildau, Germany
Project
Design and supply of a Compressor Test Centre (CTC) for complete aerothermal and noise testing of compressor components. AneCom AeroTest offers a complete package of services for aerodynamic development testing of gas turbine components, with a focus on gas turbine compressors.
Features
- Three test beds to support several sizes and configurations of compressor test vehicles: High Pressure (HP), Intermediate Pressure (IP) and Low Pressure (LP)
- 18 MW drive systems provided for each driveline, with a unique drive translation system allowing the HP & IP test beds to share a drive motor
- Data acquisition and control system capable of recording several thousand parameters, with scan rates up to 200 KHz on selected channels
- Dynamic data system with 128 channels up to 100K samples / sec or 64 channels @ 200k samples / sec
- Build shop and control room
- Measurement rooms for CTC equipment and client-supplied equipment
- Ancillary rooms and client office space
- Anechoic chamber for noise and performance testing of fans
Capabilities
- HP test bed handles high-speed, single-flow compressors up to 20,000 rpm and air flows up to 35 kg/sec
- IP test bed handles high-speed, single or split-flow compressors up to 15,000 rpm and air flows up to 200 kg/sec
- LP test bed and anechoic chamber handles acoustic and performance testing of jet engine fans, compressors and other test items
