20150052980 | GAS TURBINE FUEL NOZZLE LEAK DETECTION PRESSURE TEST TOOL AND METHOD FOR LEAK DETECTION - Internally shielded fuel passage orifices in nozzle rocket swirler airfoils are sealed with the pressure test tool. Pinch clamps on the test tool are introduced into the fuel nozzle rocket swirler. The clamps are tightened over the airfoil orifices to plug or otherwise seal them and their fuel passages within the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly fuel passages are subsequently pressurized. Pressure is monitored to determine whether the nozzle is properly sealed (i.e., no pressure decay) or whether it has a leak-causing structural defect. Pressure drop in the tested component during the test cycle is indicative of a leak, in the nozzle's fuel passages, caused for example by a structural defect in the component. The test system may also be utilized in conjunction with individual rocket swirlers that are not incorporated within a complete fuel nozzle assembly. | 02-26-2015 |
