As part of a NEDO project, we developed a combustion test facility employing a blowdown method for screening tests of cluster-type combustors that can be used with a wide range of hydrogen concentrations. Through trial operation, it was confirmed that the test facility can increase the load up to the rated conditions of the actual combustor and reproduce and evaluate the NOx and combustion oscillation trends of actual combustors.
