two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Thermal Stability is a critical aviation fuel test and while competition among equipment manufacturers/suppliers is to be encouraged, aircraft safety must remain paramount. Commonly measured by the pressure drop Δp across a filter in units of L and presented here in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), thermal stability measurements utilize specialized test equipment, the JFTOT, which exposes the fuel to a heated aluminum alloy tube in a controlled way and passes it through a filter to collect any particulates that have formed. After the test is complete, the pressure drop across the filter and a visual inspection of the aluminum tube for discoloration are used to evaluate thermal stability of fuel.

We are looking for a robust, reliable, durable, compact, and user friendly JFTOT device for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel/Innovation Centre characterisation lab.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

This test method provides an indication of the relative smoke producing properties of kerosenes and aviation turbine fuels in a diffusion flame. The smoke point is related to the hydrocarbon type composition of such fuels. Generally the more aromatic the fuel the smokier the flame. A high smoke point indicates a fuel of low smoke producing tendency.

The smoke point is quantitatively related to the potential radiant heat transfer from the combustion products of the fuel. Because radiant heat transfer exerts a strong influence on

the metal temperature of combustor liners and other hot section parts of gas turbines, the smoke point provides a basis for correlation of fuel characteristics with the life of these

components.

This test method covers the determination of hydrocarbon types of total aromatics, total olefins, and total saturates in petroleum fractions that distill below 315 °C. Samples containing dark-colored components that interfere in reading the chromatographic bands cannot be analyzed. Typically, fuel is percolated through a column of silica gel containing special fluorescent dyes. When desorbed by alcohol, the fuel separates into three layers of hydrocarbon types that become visible under ultraviolet light. The hydrocarbon groups are olefins, aromatics and saturates (paraffins and naphthenes). The relative length of each band is translated into the volume percent of each hydrocarbon type.
