Les bancs d'essais de combustion du CNRC [Conseil national de recherches Canada] sont des installations de pointe utilisées pour les essais d'endurance des matériaux et des composants de la partie chaude d'une turbine. Pendant les essais, un jet de gaz chaud à vitesse élevée produit par les chambres de combustion du laboratoire (appareils LCS-4B et LCS-4C de Becon) simule très étroitement le mélange, l'écoulement et la chimie de combustion des carburants dans les chambres à combustion des moteurs à turbine. [...] Les bancs d'essais de combustion du CNRC contribuent aux études suivantes : la mise au point de nouveaux matériaux et capteurs; les techniques de réparation et les essais de qualification des composants après réparation; la validation des modèles de prédiction de vie des pièces soumises à de hautes températures; la simulation d'anomalies telles que la surchauffe de moteur; l'essai d'oxydation dans des cycles thermiques précis; l'essai de corrosion thermique des matériaux selon VAMAS [Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards] ou d'autres spécifications d'essai; l'essai d'érosion à des températures de partie chaude de turbine; l'essai de fatigue thermique avec la surveillance directe de l'amorce et de la croissance de criques dans des éprouvettes à l'aide de chutes de tension d'un courant alternatif; l'essai d'endurance de composants ou de capteurs selon des simulations précises de cycles de vol. 2, record 1, French, - banc%20d%27essai%20de%20combustion

CAN COMBUSTION CHAMBER. The can combustion chamber is used mainly on older centrifugal compressor engines. Airflow is ducted to individual combustion cans that are arranged around the circumference of the burner section. Each can contains its own fuel nozzle, burner liner, and casing. Advantages include its strength and durability, combined with the ease of maintenance. Disadvantages include poor use of space in the chamber, greater pressure loss, and uneven heat distribution to the turbine section. 2, record 2, English, - burner%20liner

In the Spooner travelling oven the hot air circulates rapidly in a closed circuit, the small temperature drop on each cycle being made good by heat from the burner. The hot air enters the baking chamber, top and bottom, through patent nozzles, which ensure that the heat is evenly distributed over the whole length and width of the conveyor.(...) The oven is built in one or more sections(...) Each section is provided with a separate heating system and burner. 1, record 8, English, - spooner%20travelling%20oven

Fours à convection forcée. Ces fours brevetés (système Spooner d'origine anglaise) (...) ont pour principe d'utiliser la chaleur par convection forcée plutôt que le rayonnement et la conduction: ils projettent donc l'air chauffé sur le produit à cuire, à une vitesse assez élevée. Ce four-tunnel est constitué de diverses sections ou "chambres de pression" indépendantes (...), équipées de fentes ou "buses spooner" placées au travers de toute la largeur de la bande et suffisamment rapprochées pour que la totalité de la bande (haut et bas) soit assujettie aux flux d'air chaud en provenance, à grande vitesse, de la chambre de pression. 1, record 8, French, - four%20%C3%A0%20convection%20forc%C3%A9e
