Hi

Atmospheric testing of your combustor will only require a fraction of the fuel
that it'll require when hooked to the turbo , you need to adjust back the fuel
supply to a point where the exit temperature from the combustor is equal to
normal TITs ....1450 deg F , this will then give a representation of its
potential performance once under load from the turbo .

Cheers
John
