Gas Turbine Operation and Maintenance Enhancement

该提案所涵盖的工作建立在加拿大皇家军事学院和马尼托巴省温尼伯标准航空公司之间的现有合作基础上。它寻求利用并扩展他们在劳斯莱斯艾利森250型涡轴发动机上的工程研究和仪器开发。这种非常受欢迎的工作马在世界各地使用了几十年，有15种变体。其坚固的设计使其成为性能监测的良好候选者，并且其长期的维修，维护和大修（MRO）计划具有工程创新潜力。已经确定了正常操作的一些特征以及操作使用的有害影响，以及批准的维修技术。建议的工作重点是在热点部分。具体来说，有必要研究燃烧系统的非定常，研究不满意的模式因素和涡轮喷嘴不均匀劣化。为评估维修方案和定制设计的仪器开发而开发的技术已经到位，可以利用迄今为止的研究成果。这是一个多阶段，平行的配套活动，旨在提高标准ero的能力，作为一个主要的全球MRO组织，为他们的客户提供增值工程服务，并为项目提供高质量的研究生流，最终为加拿大的燃气轮机行业。

The work covered by this proposal builds on an existing collaboration between the Royal Military College of Canada and StandardAero of Winnipeg, MB. It seeks to take advantage of, and extend their engineering research and instrumentation developments for the Rolls Royce, Allison Model-250 turboshaft engine. This very popular workhorse has 15 variants over decades of use around the world. Its robust design makes it a good candidate for performance monitoring, and engineering innovation potential to its long-standing programmes of repair, maintenance and overhaul (MRO). Some characteristics of normal operation as well as deleterious impacts of operational use, and approved repair techniques have been identified. The focus of the work proposed is on the hot section. Specifically, there is a need to explore unsteadiness in the combustion system and to investigate unsatisfactory pattern factors and uneven turbine nozzle deterioration. Technologydeveloped for the evaluation of repair schemes and custom-designed instrumentation developments are in place to capitalize on the research to date. It is a multi-phase, parallel suite of complimentary activities intended to enhance the ability of StandardAero, as a major global MRO organization, to offer value-added engineering services to their clients and to deliver a high quality stream of graduate students to the project and eventually to the gas turbine industry in Canada.
