Burgmeier, L

Testing to be performed on model elements of the subatmospheric Brayton cycle system (SAS) is described. The objective of the program is to operate a scale model turbine at conditions simulating the full-scale SAS machine on glass furnace waste heat gases and to determine the severity of anticipated problems. The SAS testing rig and test system instrumentation are described. Operation of the data acquisition system, a Kaye Digistrip II recorder, control systems used, and test analysis methods are described. Details of the heat exchangers model test program are given.
