PROBLEMS OF SHORE TESTING GAS TURBINES AND ASSOCIATED INSTALLATIONS FOR MARINE PROPULSION

Rolls-Royce has recently undertaken shore testing of bare gas turbines, packaged engines and complete ship installations for a variety of naval applications. The engines have ranged from the 4250 horsepower Proteus engine up to the TM 3B at 28,000 horsepower. The paper discusses the reasons for these shore trials and the practical difficulties the engineer faces in planning and undertaking them. Some of the more interesting lessons learned are discussed.
