Patent ID: 7810384

Claim:
A power turbine test apparatus for independently operating and testing a power turbine that drives a driven machinery using combustion gas or steam, said power turbine test apparatus comprising: an air compressor that supplies compressed outside air to a combustor positioned on a downstream side; a first air duct that guides the outside air compressed by said air compressor into said combustor which combusts said compressed outside air and fuel to generate combustion gas; a second air duct that guides the combustion gas generated by said combustor to said power turbine installed on the downstream side; and a rotating shaft of said power turbine under test and a rotating shaft of said air compressor are joined to each other by way of a linking member so that the power of said power turbine under test is absorbed by said air compressor of said power turbine test apparatus during testing operation, wherein said linking member connects a first coupling member attached to said rotating shaft of said air compressor to a second coupling member attached to said rotating shaft of said power turbine under test.
