Turbojet Trainer with Reheat
Product Code : EL-E-11333
Quick Answer: The Turbojet Trainer with Reheat is a working gas turbine on a steel frame, with a gas generator, combustion chamber, radial flow turbine and a reheat section that gives an after-burn. A PLC controls start-up and shut-down, and a labelled panel with mimic diagram carries the displays, controls and warning lights.

Key Features
- Steel frame holding the gas generator, combustion chamber, oil and fuel tanks, pumps, ancillaries and guards
- Air passes from an air box through a nozzle into the compressor, then to the combustion chamber, where a high-energy spark ignites the fuel spray
- Reheat section with its own fuel control and a second high-energy spark for a secondary burn in the turbine exhaust
- Variable area propelling nozzle after the reheat section
- PLC handles start-up and shut-down, stops the turbine if the user makes an error and runs cooling fans after use
- Oiling system with filters and water-cooled oil; digital and analogue indicators for pressures, temperatures, fuel flow and level

About This Product
The trainer lets students run a small jet engine and follow the gas from intake to nozzle on the mimic diagram. Switching the reheat on and off shows how burning extra fuel in the oxygen left in the exhaust raises gas temperature and velocity, and the panel readings let them compare engine performance with and without after-burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the reheat work on the Turbojet Trainer with Reheat?
A separate control sets the fuel flow to the reheat section, and a second high-energy spark ignites it, burning some of the oxygen remaining in the hot exhaust leaving the turbine.
What does the PLC do?
It controls turbine start-up and shut-down, shuts the turbine down if the user makes an error, and switches on cooling fans after running.
