ASME PTC 22-2005 Gas Turbines - Performance Test Codes

An American National Standard. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Revision of ASME PTC 22-1997 (R2003). Date of Issuance: May 30, 2006. 102p. This Test Code provides directions and rules for conduct and report of results of thermal performance tests for open cycle gas turbine power plants and gas turbine engines, hereafter referred to as gas turbines. The object is to determine the thermal performance of the gas turbine when operating at test conditions, and correcting these test results to Specified Reference Conditions. This Code provides explicit procedures for the determination of the following performance results:
(a) corrected power output
(b) corrected heat rate (efficiency)
(c) corrected exhaust flow, energy, and temperature
Tests may be designed to satisfy different goals, including:
(d) absolute performance
(e) comparative performance
