The Kuznetsov air test stand was certified
for modernized NK-32 engines
07 SEP 2017
The aircraft test stand No. 1 of the Samara
PJSC Kuznetsov (part of the United Engine Building Corporation) after a
large-scale reconstruction was certified for the new NK-32 series 02 engines
for the Tu-160 bomber-bomber.
The commissioning of this facility is a significant step
in the production of the NK-32 series 02 engine for the Tu-160 series. It
is here that new and repair engines of this type will be tested.
Earlier at PJSC "Kuznetsov" aircraft engine
tests were carried out at two stands, but taking into account the growth of the
production program for the state defense order, there was a need to expand the
capacity of the test complex, the press service of the enterprise noted.
"The upgraded booth # 1 will significantly shorten
the timeframe for testing our products and improve the quality of products
through the introduction of a new automated system for measuring and evaluating
engine parameters," said Sergey Pavlinich, Deputy General Director and
Managing Director of PJSC Kuznetsov. "The growing volumes of state
defense order and strict deadlines for execution on it require us to optimize
and accelerate all production processes, and the large-scale measures taken at
stand No. 1 will allow us to work in this way."
Reconstruction of stand No. 1 began at the end of 2015,
and already in December 2016 the works were completed in full. As a result
of the modernization of the stand, the remote control stand and test box, the
administrative and household building were completely reconstructed. Also,
engineering networks and bench systems have been completely replaced: fuel,
air, oil system, generator loading system, automated process control
systems. Installation of a new exhaust shaft and an air intake shaft has
been carried out. In addition, to the building where the stand was
located, a new engine preparation room was added for testing over an area of
more than 1200 square meters. m.
