WR34-8 Performance Improvement Program. The WR34-8 Gas Turbine Compressor Test.
Abstract
A rig test was conducted to identify the performance map for the Williams Research Corporation WR34 engine single-stage centrifugal compressor. At the compressor design point, which is at a corrected airflow of 0.538 lbm/sec and speed of 99,050 rpm, an efficiency of 74 percent at a pressure ratio of 4.25:1 was attained. Use of the tested compressor performance in the WR34 engine computer simulation showed that the contractual goal of 27.7 horsepower on a 107 F day at an altitude of 5000 feet can be met. (Author)
