Abstract

In conventional turbofan aero-engine designs, the effective way of improvement of engine efficiency is through the increasing of overall pressure ratio and improving of combustor inlet gas temperature, but the further incresement of compressor overall pressor ratio is constricted by high pressure compressor outlet allowed temperature. The improvement of combustor outlet temperature is limited by turbine allowed inlet temperature during take-off and climbing. An intercooled core can be designed with a significantly higher overall pressure ratio also with reduced cooling air requirements, providing a higher thermal efficiency compared with a conventional core. Through the basic analysis of performance of intercooler aeroengines. It indicated that the intercooled aero-engines can decrese the feul consume clearly and have a further potential in future civil aircraft application.
