Evaluation of the Extended Use of Ferrocene for Test Cell Smoke Abatement; Engine and Environmental Test Results.

Abstract

Results of a test program to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing the smoke suppressant fuel additive, ferrocene, during post overhaul performance checks of gas turbine engines at Naval Air Rework Facilities (NARF's) and other lower level maintenance test facilities to reduce test cell exhaust smoke plumes to environmentally acceptable levels are presented. This test program was conducted on the following gas turbine engines: J52-P-6B, J57-P-10, J79-GE-8D, TF30-P-6C and TF41-A-2A. (Author)
