Development of the Northrop Grumman / Rolls-Royce WR21 Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) Gas Turbine, begun in 1992, is now well advanced and system testing has been completed on eight engine builds at the Royal Navy’s Admiralty Test House located at the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, Pyestock in the United Kingdom. Test activity is shortly to move to the US Navy’s Test Site at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division – Ship Systems Engineering Station in Philadelphia, PA, where a new test facility has been built to carry out some final development testing and an endurance test. A previous paper on this subject (94-GT-186) defined a test program leading to a design review and the beginning of Qualification Testing. The development program has since evolved and it is the aim of this paper to summarize engine testing to date and set out the plan for conclusion of development testing. The paper will describe the development of the Philadelphia Test Site, as a combined site for the US Navy’s Integrated Power System (IPS) and ICR testing. This will include a description of the advanced, high-accuracy Data Acquisition System (DAS). Finally, the test program and the development and endurance test objectives will be outlined.

The following report is the third and last in a series describing the progress of “A Research Study on Internal Corrosion of High Pressure Boilers.” The first report described the background, scope, and organization of the program as well as the test facility. The second report discussed the methods of testing and the results of the first six runs. This final report describes the results of the last six tests and discusses the conclusions drawn from all of Phases II and III. The scope and an outline of seven tests composing the newly scheduled Phase IV program are also included. The results of runs with three types of boiler water treatment, fouled heat transfer surfaces, and conditions simulating fresh water and seawater condenser leakage are included. Data relating to deposition and corrosion in these environments are presented with particular emphasis on the severe corrosion experienced with simulated seawater condenser leakage.

The THAI experimental programme includes combined-effect investigations on thermal hydraulics, hydrogen, and fission product (iodine and aerosols) behaviour in LWR containments under severe accident conditions. An overview on the experiments performed up to now and on the future test program is presented, in combination with a selection of typical results to illustrate the versatility of the test facility and the broad variety of topics investigated.
