An experiment about performance characteristics is conducted on a double chamber vane-type rotor. Three different rotors, which have 6, 8 and 9 vanes, are applied to the driver and various lift holes at the rear plate are used to increase the effective vane height. The inner diameter of a double chamber cylinder is ${\phi}27mm$, and the length of the cylinder is 65 mm. The maximum offset length between the rotor outer surface and the cylinder inner surface is 4.5 mm. In this study, specific output torques and powers are measured, and also noise and vibration are measured at the real operating situation. The operating torque on the double chamber is increased to 17% compared to the operating torque obtained at the single chamber which has the same size. The experimental results of noise and vibration show that the operating sound and vibration are directly related to the operating power generated by the double chamber rotor.

The performance experiment was tested for the velocity compound turbine of turbopump which was the main part of 75 ton class liquid rocket engine. The seal is installed between the 1st rotor and the reversing vane to reduce the leakage flow. The turbine outlet pressure of the velocity compound turbine by changing the rotating speed was compared with that of baseline turbine with single rotor including the effect on the total performance.
