  • Abstract:
    An investigation was made of the General Electric F101 augmentor fuel pump to perform as a degrader of AMK fuel. The test plan specified the pump be run at three power conditions in four separate tests. Test 1 was run utilizing Jet-A fuel to calibrate system parameters and set fuel rates at idle (1200 pounds per hour), cruise (5500 pph) and takeoff (16000 pph). Test 2 utilized AMK fuel at the same fuel flow rates as were used for Jet-A fuel, the pump being in its standard configuration. Tests 3 and 4 utilized AMK fuel at the same conditions, however, the pump was successively modified to enhance AMK degradation. Fuel samples were taken at the pump inlet and discharge. Pump inlet and discharge pressures and temperatures were monitored. Special sampling procedures were utilized to prevent the inadvertent degradation of the AMK fuel during the sampling process. Very high degradation levels of the AMK fuel was achieved at the cruise power condition for all three pump configurations. Somewhat reduced degradation levels were achieved at the idle and takeoff modes depending upon which pump configuration was being tested. Further testing was conducted to try to enhance degradation at the idle mode in the standard pump configuration. These results showed very high levels of degradation when the pump speed was increased by 12 percent.
