Abstract:

Seven Pratt and Whitney Aircraft PWA JT8D-7A turbofan engines were tested at Kennedy International Airport, New York, to evaluate exhaust emissions characteristics and data variability after overhaul. The measured data show that the engines tested did not meet the Environmental Protection Agency EPA emission standards. A comparison of the measured data, obtained from the seven overhauled engines evaluated under this program, with new engine data obtained from PWA show that there is a great deal of similarity between the two sets of data. Differences shown in this report between new engine and overhauled engine data are due to the quantity of the engines sampled the new engine data represent a larger sample size. Satisfactory data can be measured by using the test procedures, instrumentation, and equipment defined in this report. Author
