Eu FP7 Project FACTOR



FACTOR-Logo
.
Full Aero-thermal Combustor-Turbine interactiOn Research

In the frame of the FP7 research project FACTOR funded by EC a High Presure Turbine (HPT) stage is designed together with a combustor simulator. The main objective of the FACTOR project is to optimize the combustor-HP turbine interaction design. The combustor simulator and the HPT stage will be installed into the new Turbine test facility NGTurb to enable a lot of detailed measurements as there are: 

  • Determination of velocity by PIV in and downstream of the combustor simulator
  • Measurements of turbulence intensity, temperatures, pressures, flow angles by probes, especially to determine turbine performance 
  • Heat transfer measurements on vanes and blades
  • Fast response pressure measurements
  • Determination of temperature by Raman technique
  • Determination of temperature fluctuations by vibrometry
