  • Flow stabilizer for flow bench
    Patent number: 7024929
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for airflow testing, especially for air testing of gas turbine components on an airflow test bench. Various embodiments of the present invention include the use of a flow-stabilizing member downstream of the component being tested. Since the flow through or over the component is subsonic, a flow-stabilizing member placed down stream of the component can have an effect on the flow conditions in or around the component being tested. In one embodiment, the flow-stabilizing member provides more consistent results during the testing of the component.
