Preliminary camelina oil combustion tests on a micro gas turbine fire tube
Journal Title: Jurnalul Stiintific TURBO - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Camelina is well-suited to be a biofuel crop, as its seeds naturally have high oil content. At present, the process of obtaining bio-kerosene from camelina oil by hydrotreatment is time consuming and expensive, thus the possibility of using straight camelina oil as fuel in terrestrial applications is taken into consideration. For this purpose, combustion tests have been conducted on a micro gas turbine’s combustion chamber. As fuels have been used a 50% camelina oil / 50% kerosene mixture and 100% camelina oil, both pre-heated at 90°C. The combustion chamber functioned satisfactorily on both fuels. In the future the tests will be resumed for other functioning regimes, varying the air mass flow, the air pressure and fuel mass flow. Also, the design of an injector dedicated to function on camelina oil is taken into consideration.
