Hot Fuel Nozzle Fouling Test Facility.

Abstract

Based on prior testing of turbine engine flow divider valves and/or fuel atomizing nozzles, it has been concluded that additional nozzle fouling data on both specification and near-specification distillate fuels are needed. The nozzles and fuels of interest would be employed for both Navy shipboard and Navy aircraft applications. Therefore, a hot-fuel nozzle fouling test facility was designed and constructed and is discussed in this report. Also, limited shakedown testing showing the potential of the facility is presented. A test program utilizing four engine nozzle designs and three middle distillate fuels having different JFTOT breakpoint temperatures is recommended.
