This test position in CE-9B is configured to conduct testing to evaluate ceramic matrix materials for combustors and associated systems. The burner uses ASTM Jet-A fuel, but can also be converted to GH2.
Air exiting the test section is water-cooled and discharged through altitude or atmospheric exhaust.
In addition to the test panel configuration described above, round test sections of 7 in. The facility burner uses a GH2 torch ignitor. The primary quench water pumps 325 gpm at 800 psi, and the secondary quench is 50 gpm at 45 psig. The typical data acquisition system is described later.
