APPLICATION OF A POWDER LUBRICATION SYSTEM TO A GAS TURBINE ENGINE. PART II.

Abstract

The objective of the program is to provide a powder lubrication system for a gas turbine engine. The report discusses experimental development testing of powder lubricated bearings, tested both in a specially designed bearing test rig and in a J-69 turbojet engine, modified for unfired operation with powder lubrication on a motor-driven test stand. The report summarizes the equipment, instrumentation, and experimental work carried on to attain quantitative and performance data on engine bearings as well as the powder lubrication delivery and exhaust system.
