[0006] a. Make a testing device, the testing device includes a connecting air pipe, an oil-gas separator and a lubricating oil collection tank. The oil-gas separator is provided with an oil-gas inlet, an air outlet and a lubricating oil outlet. One end of the connecting air pipe is connected to the engine, and the other end is connected to the oil-gas inlet. The lubricating oil collection tank is connected to the lubricating oil outlet.
[0007] b. Connect the engine connection end of the air hose to the exhaust port of the engine accessory housing;
[0008] c. The engine is put into operation. The oil and gas generated during the test enter the oil-gas separator through the connecting air pipe. The oil-gas separator separates the oil and gas. The air is discharged from the air outlet, and the lubricating oil is discharged from the lubricating oil outlet and collected in the lubricating oil collection tank.
[0009] d. After the engine operation test is completed, measure the weight of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil collection tank;
[0010] e. Calculate the amount of lubricating oil leaking from the engine accessory casing exhaust device by measuring the weight of the lubricating oil and the engine operating time.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting tube is a flexible tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the oil-gas inlet is located in the middle of the oil-gas separator, the air outlet is located at the top of the oil-gas separator, and the lubricating oil outlet is located at the bottom of the oil-gas separator.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the method for detecting the amount of lubricating oil leakage in the exhaust device of the accessory casing of a turboshaft aero-engine is capable of measuring the amount of lubricating oil leakage in the exhaust device of the accessory casing of a turboshaft aero-engine, thereby obtaining parameters of the amount of lubricating oil leakage in the exhaust device of the engine accessory casing.
