Description

This test procedure (No. 402) provides a detailed description of the verification methods which shall be used in the developmental program to be conducted on the Combined Rotating Unit-(CRU) of the Kilowatt Isotope Power System KIPS, to fulfill the requirements of the Ground Demonstration Test Plan. The test objectives were to: establish operating conditions, overspeed conditions and to measure basic performance; measure output power; record spin-down data and calculate bearing losses; calculate turbine efficiency at steady state using spin down data and previously determined pump and alternator performance data; test 500 W(e) and 2000 W(e) units by replacing necessary hardware … continued below
