Compressor rig –Test facilities and auxiliaryequipment
MTU’s facilities for rig testing offer a widerange of test capabilities. The facilities aresuitable for testing highly-instrumented tech-nology rigs as well as engine parts rigs to sup-port engines in service. Irrespective of thetask on hand the department’s main focus ison customer satisfaction. Through the testingof 75 different rigs with several individual buildsover the course of 30 years, an unparalleledlevel of experience has been developed.
Compressor test facilities:• 16 MW electrical power• Heated inlet• Simulation of bypass engines• Fast acceleration and deceleration with
temperature gradient within 6 seconds• 4 VGV stages per control unit• Surge detection system• 1,700 measurement channels• Steady-state measurements• High-response data acquisition up to
200 KHz• Health and safety monitoring during all
conditions• Online data reduction
– aerodynamic data– structural data
Auxiliary equipment:To ensure maximum support of the test facil-ities a free-stream calibration channel forprobe calibration and three compressors forexternal air supply are available:
External air compressors• 6 kg/s mass flow• 12 bar
Probe calibration• 6-axis-traversing unit• Fully automated calibration• Mach No. 0.2 – 1.0• Five-hole direction probes• Recovery calibration• Reynolds No. variation
Turbine rig – Test facility MTU conducts turbine tests at the Universityof Stuttgart's altitude test facility. At this facility MTU has performed tests since 1970.With an experience of 30 rigs and several indi-vidual builds, MTU offers an unrivaled amountof know-how to meet customer demands suc-cessfully.
Turbine test facilities:• 20 MW electrical power• Various auxiliary compressors to simulate
inlet and exit conditions• 2,000 measurement channels• Simultaneous control of 20 traversing units• Continuous health and safety monitoring• Online data reduction
