Abstract
A system and method for testing a combustor or other component of a large industrial gas turbine engine. A test facility for testing a gas turbine engine component includes a storage reservoir, a heat exchanger () with a first fluid flow passage connected to the storage reservoir and a second fluid flow passage, a combustor () connected to the second fluid flow passage of the heat exchanger (), a hot gas stream from the combustor flowing within the second fluid flow passage, and a test component of a gas turbine engine connected to the second fluid flow passage of the heat exchanger (). The compressed air from the storage reservoir () passes through the heat exchanger () first fluid flow passage and is preheated from the hot gas stream passing through the second fluid flow passage, and the preheated compressed air from the heat exchanger () passes into the test component for testing.
