The Gear box test plan is established for conducting the No load Mechanical run test of Accessory Gear boxes and load Gear boxes of various models of Gas turbine.

The following models of gear boxes are tested:

A) Accessory Gear Boxes :

FRAME - VI         :       AA51FA 5100 rpm Clock wise direction
FRAME V            :       AA51FA 5100 rpm CW direction
FRAME III           :       BA716A 7100 rpm CW direction
FRAME IX           :       AA30 CZ 3000 rpm CW direction

B) Load Gear boxes.

FRAME VI           :       TRL 65 CV 5100 rpm CCW direction
FRAME V            :       VF 63 R 5100 rpm CCW direction
FRAME III           :       VF 63C 6500 rpm CCW direction

In addition to above, No load mechanical run test of Steam turbine drive Gear boxes types upto 14,850 rpm and no load power requirement of 1000 KW can also be tested on this facility.

There are two beds with independent driver and Hydraulic coupling to test gear boxes.

2.0 TESTS CONDUCTED ON LOAD GEAR BOXES

- No load mechanical run test as per API613
- Measurment of shaft vibrations, bearing
   metal
   Temperatures, oil flow, inlet and outlet oil    temperatures and inlet oil pressure through
   out the    testing period
- Measurement of casting vibrations and noise
   level at  rated speed for one time.

3.0 TESTS CONDUCTED ACCESSORY GEAR BOXES

-No load mechanical run test as per API613
-Main oil pump performance at rated speed
-Measurement of bearing casting temperature,
  inlet & outlet oil temperatures, inlet oil
  pressure and inlet oil flow through out the
  testing period.
-Overspeed trip check up & setting.
