Measurements of exhaust emissions from the GTM-120 UAV engine using atmosFIR measuring equipment
The article provides a detailed description of the design and key parameters of the GTM-120 turbine engine, along with flow calculations for this power unit at a selected operating point. These calculations were performed using GasTurb software, which is also capable of assessing nitrogen oxide emissions. Additionally, the article outlines the test stand and the methodology used to determine toxic compounds emitted by the engine. It analyzes the measured results of various exhaust components produced during the engine's operation, specifically focusing on the levels of nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides as influenced by rotational speed and temperature. Conducted studies have established a testing methodology for aviation turbine engines, based on the type of analyzer used. This methodology will facilitate the evaluation of other aviation turbine engines on stationary test stands.
