For development and research of models for axial compressors three large-scale test-beds are created, which allow testing both separate single stages and compartments from several stages, as well as multi-stage compressors with a great number of stages for high degrees of pressure increase.

Researches are performed in complex: gasodynamic characteristics of blading and vibration condition of rotor blades are researched.

On test bed No. 21206 the following is tested:

• CC model ГТЭ-150 made by LMZ JSC in scale 1:4.14 (G_m = 36.7 kg/s, π*_c = 13, n = 12,420 rpm)
• model for first six CC stages ГТЭ-65 in scale 1:2.2332 (G_m = 36.27 kg/s, π*_1-6 = 3.74, n=12,151 rpm).

Test beds are intended for model researches of centrifugal compressors and natural gas blowers. The drive is dc motors. One test bed has drive with power of 700 kW and model rotor speed up to 20,000 rpm, the second test bed has drive with power of 300 kW and model rotor speed up to 17,000 rpm, The test beds are equipped with drive automatic control system with maintaining of the specified speed, as well as loading orifice with remote control. Models of almost all natural gas blowers of turbine building factories of the country have passed researched on these test beds.
