Experiments were carried out on the developed fuel equipment mounted on an experimental engine. Due to the fact that the engine under development in intended to be used in aviation, has been decided to conduct experiments primarily on aviation kerosene. Experiments were performed in frost at an ambient temperature of minus 25 degrees Celsius. Aviation kerosene was used as a jet fuel. The experiments showed a good engine ignition with modernized fuel equipment, at such freezing temperatures.
Given the fact that this fuel equipment allows to work on various types of commercial fuels, has been decided to conduct experiments on fuels other than aviation kerosene. Diesel fuel was taken as a jet fuel. The experiment was conducted in the open air at an ambient temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius. During this experiment, the engine also showed a good ignition.
Analytical calculations of the engine cooling system have been carried out.
The final stage to develop a demonstration model of a three-dimensional model of the engine under development is coming up.
