Initial tests of emissions of harmful compounds in the exhaust of a marine gas turbine engine in operating conditions

The paper presents the plan and results of tests of emission of harmful compounds in the exhaust of a gas turbine engine. The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between the engine operation parameters and the emission level of harmful exhaust gas compounds. An analysis was also made of the possibility of measuring concentrations of harmful compounds in the exhaust of a marine gas turbine engine of a propulsion system in conditions of its operation on a vessel. The results of preliminary tests of emissions of harmful exhaust gases from the laboratory gas turbine engine were presented. Test results of harmful compounds emission from a marine gas turbine engine will allow to determine the specific emission of individual compounds. Thus, it will be possible to deduce further steps to reduce the amount of emissions of harmful exhaust gases to the environment of this type and the use of an internal combustion engine. (paper)
