| Abstract | A brief series of icing tests was conducted on a number of wire mesh screens. The screen samples were to be evaluated for suitability as protective engine inlet screens. The icing environments created in these tests were similar to those likely to be encountered at gas turbine ground installations. Both glaze and rime ice formed a strong lattice which was firmly attached to the upstream side of the screen wires. The ice did not shed, and no runback ice on the downstream side of the screen was encountered. The recommended screen, a one-inch mesh of 1/8-inch wires, presented a good balance between a small increase in pressure loss from ice formations and adequate protection against hard ice buildups shed from plenum components above the engine intake. |
