COMBUSTION SECTION
Each engine has its' own separate ignition system exciter, shielded igniter plug cables
and igniter plug. The engines are easy to start and require no warm-up. The battery is
capable of starting engines in cold weather to -32°C (-25° F). Starting capability with
external power extends to temperatures as low as -45°C (-49°F).
The combustion section consists of an outer case, a combustion liner, an igniter and a
fuel injector. The prechamber combustion system is designed to burn fuel at peak efficiency
and to minimize emissions. Fuel is sprayed into the chamber at a precisely controlled
rate. The single igniter produces a constant spark while the start circuit is energized,
until automatic starter disengage at 58% N
G
. Gas flow moves forward out of the chamber
to the first stage GP nozzle.
IGNITION & STARTING
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Combustion is continuous as long as the proper fuel / air mixture is maintained. The
prechamber combustor provides reliable high altitude / cold starting; with Jet A (JP-5)
at 0°C (32°F) and Jet B (JP-4) at -45°C (-49°F). For operations when temperatures are
below -12°C (10°F), an anti-icing fuel additive is required.
