The paper presents the results of measurements carried out in the GTM400 turbojet engine with a changed combustion chamber geometry. The available publications lack more detailed information on the temperature distribution in evaporators, which are part of the combustion chamber of small turbojet engines. As the results of the analysis showed, this is not simple, because the research takes place in very small spaces. The reason for the work carried out is to check whether the temperatures in the evaporators are high enough. This allows to determine whether the fuel is evaporating properly. Therefore, an analysis was carried out to determine the temperature distribution in the area of the inlet to the evaporator. Thanks to the modification of the combustion chamber, it was possible to measure temperatures, which in the engine literature are simulated using numerical analysis. The analysis described in the paper is one of the stages of preparing the engine for operation with hydrogen. It is modified as part of a project to build a hybrid engine burning traditional JET-A1 fuel and alternative fuel, i.e. hydrogen.
