This product helps students to understand the use of this engine withadditional exhaust nozzle control, on practical applications such as jetaircraft. A steel frame holds a gas generator, combustion chamber, oil and fueltanks, pumps, ancillaries and guards. Above these is an instrumentation andcontrol panel with schematic diagram. A self-contained, fully instrumented, educational singleshaft gas turbine with reheat. Powered by kerosene, the experimental abilitiesof this high-quality apparatus enable comprehensive practical investigationsinto the principles, and performance of single-shaft gas turbines with reheat. The clearly labelled control panel withmimic diagram includes the instrument displays, controls and warning lights. It then passes through a variable area propelling nozzle. The exhaust gases thendischarge to a suitable exhaust system. The combustion chamber gives excellentcombustion, low pressure loss and good flame stability over a wide range ofconditions. Air passes into an air box, through a calibrated nozzle into a compressor, theninto the combustion chamber. A pump transfers fuel from the fuel tank to spraythrough a special nozzle into the combustion chamber. A high-energy sparkignites the air and fuel mixture that flows to a radial flow turbine, then tothe reheat section. This increases the temperature and velocity of the gas. A secondhigh-energy spark in the reheat section ignites the reheat fuel. This creates asecondary burn using some of the remaining oxygen in the hot exhaust gasesleaving the turbine. A fuel flow control valve on the instrumentation and control panelregulates the turbine speed. This design reduces the possibility of over speed. A separate control adjusts the fuel flow to the reheat section.

It is a steel framethat holds a gas generator, combustion chamber, oil and fuel tanks, pumps,ancillaries and guards. Above these is an instrumentation and control panelwith schematic diagram. The clearly labelled front panel with mimic diagramincludes the instrument displays, controls and warning lights. For protection of the equipment and user, it shutsdown the turbine if the user makes an error. Digital indicators show shaftspeed, pressures, temperatures and fuel flow. Analogue indicators show fuellevel, fuel pressure, oil temperature, oil pressure and hours run. A fuel flow control valve on the instrumentation andcontrol panel regulates the speed. This design reduces the possibility of overspeed. The equipment has an oiling system including filters and water-cooledoil. Starting is semi-automatic and fully interlocked, controlled by a startupand shut down logic system.
