DLR e.V. HBK5

A worldwide unique high-pressure combustion chamber test station is to be created at the site of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) in Cologne as part of a technology partnership between ALSTOM and Rolls Royce PLC. The objective of the joint-venture test station development is to further increase the perfor- mance of combustion chambers and, at the same time, to substantially reduce the exhaust and noise emissions of turbines. Combustion chamber tests are to be conducted in the new high-pressure combustion chamber test station (HBK5), which will contribute to the development of future generations of aircraft engines and power plant turbines.
