AIR SYSTEM INTRODUCTION


The air system of the CFM56-5B serves various
functions. The primary one is thrust delivery. Other
functions include:
- To provide a Bleed air supply to the aircraft.
- Variable geometry used to enhance engine
operation (VSV, VBV, and TBV).
- Clearance control (HPTCC and LPTCC).
- To provide cooling for Engine parts.
- To provide Damping of bearing forces.
- Re-introduction of air and hot gas.
- Sump pressurization and venting (see Oil system).
When all the air system functions are performed correctly,
the engine is more efficient. Power or thrust is obtained
with a lower fuel flow, so the EGT will be lower and result
in an increased life of the engine under the wing.
Specific fuel consumption and economic factors
(operating costs) are also enhanced.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT


The CFM56-5B engine is a high by-pass, dual rotor, axial
flow, advanced technology turbofan. It is supported by
the wing pylon and streamlined by cowlings.
Air is sucked into the intake by the fan blades and split
into two flow paths, the Primary and the Secondary.
The primary airflow passes through the inner portion of
the fan blades and is directed into a booster (LPC).
The flow path then enters a High Pressure Compressor
(HPC) and goes to a combustor. Mixed with fuel and
ignited, the gas flow provides energy to a High Pressure
Turbine (HPT) and a Low Pressure Turbine (LPT).
The secondary airflow passes through the outer portion
of the fan blades, the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGVs) and
exits through the nacelle discharge duct, producing
approximately 80 % of the total thrust. It also plays a role
in the thrust reverser system.
At static take-off power, the engine by-pass ratio is
between 5.4:1 and 6:1, depending on the engine model,
which means that the secondary airflow takes in between
5.4 and 6 times more air than the primary airflow.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT


The CFM56-5B engine uses a maintenance concept
called On Condition Maintenance. This means that
the engine has no periodic overhaul schedules and can
remain installed under the wing until something important
occurs, or when lifetime limits of parts are reached.
For this reason, to monitor and maintain the health of the
engine, different tools are available, which are:

- Engine vibration monitoring system: sensors


located in various positions in the engine, send
vibration values to the on-board monitoring
system. When vibration values are excessive,
the data recorded can be used to take remedial
balancing action.

- Engine performance trend monitoring, to evaluate


engine deterioration over a period of use: engine
parameters, such as gas temperature, are
recorded and compared to those initially observed
at engine installation on the aircraft.
- Borescope inspection, to check the condition
of engine internal parts: when parts are not
accessible, they can be visually inspected with
borescope probes inserted in ports located on the
engine outer casing.
- Lubrication particles analysis: while circulating in
the oil system, lubrication oil is filtered, and large,
visible-to-the-eye particles (larger than 10 microns)
coming from worn engine parts are collected in
filters and magnetic chip detectors, for visual
inspection and analysis.

LIFE-LIMITED PARTS
Airworthiness limitations (ATA Chapter 05) determine
the life limits for rotating and static engine parts and the
approved mandatory inspection intervals for specific
engine parts.
The life of parts is given in flight cycles. The cycles for
each part serial number must be counted continuously
from its first entry into service.
A cycle is defined as:
- A flight which has a take-off and landing.
or
- A touch-and-go landing and take-off used to train
pilots.
It is the operators responsibility to maintain accurate
records of the total number of cycles operated and the
number of cycles remaining.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT


The CFM56-5B engine consists of two independent
rotating systems:
- The low pressure system rotational speed is
designated N1.
- The high pressure system rotational speed is
designated N2.
The engine rotors are supported by 5 bearings, identified
in manuals as numbers 1 thru 5, where No 1 is the most
forward and No 5 the most aft. These bearings are
housed in 2 dry sump cavities provided by the fan and
turbine frames.
Engine structural rigidity is obtained with short lengths
between two main structures (frames).
The accessory drive system uses energy from the high
pressure compressor rotor to drive the engine and aircraft
accessories. It also plays a major role in starting.

Main Engine Bearings
The engine contains five main bearings, which support
the rotors.
There are two types of bearings:
- Ball bearings, which absorb axial and radial loads.
- Roller bearings, which absorb only radial loads.
Bearings need permanent oil lubrication, so they are
located in the two dry sump cavities, which are pressure
sealed.
- The forward sump cavity houses No 1, No 2 and No 3
bearings:
- No 1 and No 2 bearings hold the fan shaft.
- No 3 bearing holds the front of the HP shaft.
- The rear sump cavity houses No 4 and No 5 bearings:
- No 4 bearing holds the rear of the HP shaft.
- No 5 bearing holds the rear of the LPT shaft.

The purposes of the fan and booster are :
- To accelerate air overboard to generate thrust.
- To increase the pressure of the air directed to the
High Pressure Compressor (HPC).
After entering the air inlet cowl, the total engine airflow
passes through the fan rotor, which increases the airs
kinetic energy.
Most of the airflow is ducted overboard producing
approximately 80% of the total thrust. The remainder
is directed through the booster, where it is pressurized
before entering the HPC.

Spinner rear cone
The rear cone prevents axial disengagement of
spacers used in the fan blade retention system and
accommodates balancing screws used in fan trim and
static balance procedures.
Inspite of its name, the spinner rear cone is not really a
cone. It is a hollow elliptical structure that is mounted on
interference fit flanges between the spinner front cone
and the fan disk.

Both front and rear flanges have an offset hole to ensure


correct installation and they are identified by indent
marks. On the front flange of the rear cone, the indent
mark is next to the offset hole. The other indent mark is
on the outer rim of the rear cone, facing fan blade No 1.
The rear cone also has an integrated air seal that is glued
to its inner rear flange.

It is made of aluminium alloy and protected by sulfuric


anodization.
The front flange has 6 line replaceable, crimped, selflocking nuts.
The inner rear flange has 12 mounting screw holes for
installation onto the fan disk and there are a further 6
threaded holes for the installation of jackscrews used in
rear cone removal procedures.

Fan blades
The fan blades form the first stage of the Low Pressure
Compressor and accelerate the air entering the engine
through the air inlet cowls.
There are 36 titanium alloy, mid-span shrouded fan
blades.
Each blade has a dovetail base that slides into a recess
on the fan disk outer rim.
The fan blades are approximately 23 inches (0.58m)
long.
A retainer lug, machined at the rear end of the blade root,
engages the forward flange of the booster spool and
limits axial movements.
A spacer, installed underneath each blade, limits the
radial movement.

The ring is made of magnetic metal AISI 9315
(16NCD13).
It has 2 offset lugs on its forward face which engage into
matching slots on the fan shaft, thus enabling a foolproof
single angular position.
The ring outer diameter has 30 teeth. A speed sensor
counts the teeth as the ring turns and this provides an
electrical signal that is proportional to the N1 speed.
One of the teeth is thicker than all the others and is
installed in the same angular position as fan blade No 1.
The thicker tooth generates a stronger pulse as it passes
the sensor and this is used as a phase reference in
engine vibration analysis.

CORE ENGINE MAJOR MODULE


The core engine is a high pressure, high speed, gas
generator that produces the power to drive the engine.
Fan discharge air is compressed in the High Pressure
Compressor (HPC), heated and expanded in the
combustion chamber. It is then directed by the High
Pressure Turbine (HPT) nozzles onto the HPT rotor.
Energy not extracted from the gas stream by the HPT
rotor is used to drive the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT), fan
rotors and booster.
In running conditions, the core engine also provides a
torque to drive the accessories installed on the AGB.
During engine start an Air Starter drives the core engine
through the accessory drive system.

The core engine consists of the following :


The HPC.
- HPC rotor.
- HPC front stator.
- HPC rear stator.
The combustion section.
- Combustor casing.
- Combustion chamber.
The HPT.
- HPT nozzle.
- HPT rotor.
- HPT shroud & Stage 1 LPT nozzle.

The forward end of the core is supported by the No 3 ball


and roller bearings, located in the Fan Major Module.
The aft end is supported by the No 4 roller bearing,
located in the LPT Major Module.

The rear stator
The HPC rear stator plays a role in increasing the air
pressure delivered to the combustion section.
The rear stator houses three fixed vanes stages 6-8 and
is installed inside the front stator casing.
The HPC fixed vane stage 9 is part of the combustion
case.
The rear stator aft flange is cantilever mounted on the
inner flange of the rear stator support.
The rear stator support outer flange is installed between
the front stator and the combustor case.
All flanges are close tolerance rabbeted diameters and
are bolted to make a strong assembly.
The forward end of the rear stator assembly is held
radially by a pilot diameter at stage 5 of the front stator
case. This gives accurate concentricity between the front
and rear stator case assemblies.

The outer and inner cowls

The outer and inner liners

The outer and inner cowls form the front end of the
combustor and are designed to give a constant and
stable airflow to the combustion chamber.

The outer and inner liners are of an integral design with


overhung panels which contain closely spaced holes for
cooling purposes. To lower turbine inlet gas temperature,
the liners also have dilution holes, which produce
additional combustion and cooling air.

They are made from a nickel-chrome alloy and are


attached to the forward end of the outer and inner liners
and the dome by 80 bolts, which are tack welded at their
heads.
The tack weld must be carefully ground off in order to
remove the bolts and separate the cowls from the liners
and dome.

Both inner and outer liners have a thermal barrier coating


on their inner surfaces.
The outer liner has 2 ferrules for installation of the spark
igniters and locator ridges* to ensure correct alignment
with the combustion case.
*NOTE :
There is only one locator ridge on recent engines at the
top vertical centerline position, but earlier versions have
three, 120 apart.

Bearings lubrication
A supply tube located in the turbine frame delivers oil to
the rotating air/oil separator, which in turn sends this oil
forward to the No 5 bearing by centrifugation, through an
oil gallery between the separator and the LPT shaft.
Oil finds a passage through holes in the LPT shaft and
the No 5 bearing inner race, to lubricate the rollers and
outer race of the No 5 bearing.

The No 5 bearing is equipped with a damping device,


called Oil Damped Bearing (ODB) or squeeze film. The
purpose of the ODB is to reduce the level of vibration at
a given speed. It consists of a film of oil located between
the No 5 bearing outer race and a sleeve installed in the
No 5 bearing support.

The remaining oil continues to flow forward, through


passageways drilled in the LPT shaft, and lubricates
the inner race, the rollers and the outer race of the No 4
bearing.

The Horizontal Drive Shaft (HDS)
The Horizontal Drive Shaft provides power transmission
between the TGB and the AGB.
The coupling tube, bolted between the TGB and AGB
housings, is made of aluminium alloy. It protects the HDS
and ensures connection with the AGB.
A gasket between the tube and the TGB front flange and
an O-ring between the tube and the AGB rear flange,
provide the necessary sealing of the assembly.
The HDS is made of steel alloy.
It is splined at both ends and drives the AGB gears
through the hand-cranking drive gear.
The shaft is secured in the drive gear by a castellated
nut.
For maintenance purposes, the horizontal drive shaft
can be disengaged from the TGB through the AGB hand
cranking port.
