Aero engine compressor cooling by water injection - Part 2: Performance and emission reductions

Abstract

Take-off and climb up to 3000 ft are the flight segments in which the aero-engine experiences the highest operating temperatures, which are known to be accompanied by a high production rate of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). This contaminant has negative health implications on the human population, vegetation and wildlife that is in frequent proximity or exposure. Water injection into the compressor offers the possibility of reducing NOx. Nevertheless, limited studies have focused on the emissions reduction potentials and the wider questions of the influence of engine type and of wide-ranging ambient conditions.
