Zyglo T62 compressor and turbine wheels
Just completed checking the wheels of 84 Surplus Solar T-62 turbine engine
sets of wheels for cracks. Only found two turbine wheels with small cracks. No cracks found in the compressor wheels. These engines seem to be quite sturdy. We started several and looked at vibration levels with a vibration analyzer and checked the balance of a couple of sets of compressor/turbine wheels on a two plane balancer. I also was able to run my engine on Eagle R&D's Dyno and found it to run good, take a load and run with a low acceptable vibration level. The engines do suck fuel tho... |
