Geo-TH,In said: (quoted from post at 02:26:25 06/06/15) So was the old mechanic right, water injection is used for a short time to get a burst of power?
Early on in my flying career I flew turboprops that had water injection. Water sprayed out of nozzles directly into the air intake for the first stage copressor. As the water evaporated it caused the incoming air to cool lowering the EGT and therefore allowed more power to be developed.
Been a long time but seemed like we carried around 10 gallons of water and we only used it on takeoff. I remember flying a flight full of soldiers out of Ft. Leonard Wood MO and having to use the water in order to haul the load. Want to say it was limited to 60 seconds but that may not be correct.
