| Abstract | The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has developed the Ice-Crystal Environment Modular Axial Compressor Rig (ICE-MACR) for simulating altitude ice crystal icing of aircraft engines in altitude facilities. Commissioning of the rig under altitude icing conditions was conducted in the NRC’s altitude icing wind tunnel (AIWT) in May-June 2019. An overview of the commissioning tests including some of the key results and observations are presented. Commissioning tests demonstrated the ability of the rig to create ice accretion downstream of a working compressor stage. Embedded borescope cameras allowed qualitative observation of the ice accretions as they developed. The rig instrumentation scheme enabled measurement of the particle break-up, melt-fraction and centrifuging of particles within an operating compressor. |
