Quick Facts
Description
The ASCR is a high-pressure, high temperature combustion rig which simulates engine test conditions up to a pressure of 900 PSIG and a temperature of 1300°F non-vitiated (no combustibles) at 50 lb/sec air flow. The facility supports research on multiple fuel injector test hardware for large aircraft engine development, and full scale annular combustor development for regional aircraft engine development.
