The propensity of aviation turbine fuels to produce deposits in the oil-cooler and filter sections of aircraft fuel systems has been examined using a rig that simulates the fuel system of an aircraft and which employs realistic flow rates. All the fuels examined were found to be thermally stable up to temperatures in excess of those currently attained in engine oil coolers. Comparison with results obtained with the JFTOT indicates that this is not suited for use as a research tool.

The U.S. Navy’s concerns about the thermal stability of aviation fuel stem from a combination of increased performance requirements of engines and potential degradation in fuel quality. The results of recent atomizer fouling tests with hot fuel are presented. These are combined with similar results from Air Force programs and analyzed with respect to the impact on engine performance and reliability.

A test unit has been developed by Rolls-Royce for the U.S. Navy to use in evaluating fuel thermal deposition typically found in various aircraft engine components. Although the current Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester (JFTOT) provides a qualitative thermal stability evaluation, it may not be able to predict in-service problems. Conditioning and testing of the fuel under realistic conditions is crucial if one is to predict deposit formations accurately. Engine fuel deposit evaluations and evidence from unpublished Rolls-Royce laboratory rig tests were used to help design a test unit that would address fuel stability problems in current or future aircraft. The Aviation Fuel Thermal Stability (AFTS) test unit embodies test modules that were selected with extensive fuel systems experience to enable the evaluation of thermal deposition in various fuel components using properly conditioned fuel. The test modules are controlled and results are recorded by a computer. This paper includes a review of the AFTS test unit design and preliminary test results thereof.

Abstract The theme of this paper is the issue related to the thermal stability of aviation fuel to turbine jet engine. This paper presents the importance of this parameter in terms of the proper conduct of the combustion process in a jet engine. In paper were presented critical remarks of the standard test method of determining the thermal stability and its modification for the needs of realization of the research work, relying on multiple pass of fuel through the test system, which resulted in a greater selectivity results. In article presented the results of own research, on the effects of technology fuel production and additives put into fuel on change the thermal stability
