First tank:
- At low RPM 3000 ended with very short test of max RPM Exactly 8000
during 5 seconds.
Second tank:
- Started at 3000 RPM after one minute tem 60deg
- Speed up to 6000 RPM, after 2 minutes temp 90 deg, slowed down to
3000, takes 4 minutes! to cool down to 68 deg
- Speed up to 5500 RPM, temp holds 85-87 deg, than cool down to70 takes
3 minutes.
- Speed up to max open throttle 8100 RPM temp raised in 15 seconds
to 90, released to iddle, temp jumped to 107deg than takes
3 minutes to coll down to 80
- Speed up to 5500, run rest of tank on temperature close 90 deg.
- When tank almost empty, last test run - full throttle for few seconds,
max RPM 8250. So is 250 more then when first tank finished. temperature
raised
quickly to 100deg. Slowed down, cooled to 80 and stopped.
Conclusions:
NEWER - start the engine and pull full power, let the engine warm up
at iddel at least half minute.
NEWER - run the new engine in heli directly. As you see the results
above, is impossible to run im the engine during flight. Is so easy to
cook up the engine.
IMHO the proper run in process of engine is most important thing for
whole life of engine. If you fail at this point and let the engine
overheat once, it will pass away
shortly.. Learn here how to do properly or let the process do somebody
who have experience.
NEWER - fly until fuel tank is empty. But always land and let the engine
at least half minute cool down and than stop it. The worst
thing what you can do to your engine is to run out of gas, let the engine
take gas mixed with air => lean it up run in high RPM and then stop it
by it self
Setting up the standards.
In order to maintain proper communication with all buyers and developers,
I have to set the temperature measuring point for the engine. Regarding
the experience
with previous conversions, IMHO the best and most accessible place
e what I fount is the first rib from the top of engine head.
