Introduction to the LEAP-1A Family - Level 1


INTRODUCTION

The CFM International Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion (LEAP) engine is a family of engine that currently powers the A320neo, B737 MAX and the Comac
C919 aircraft. There are differences between the aircraft power plants and the engine fitted to the A320neo is known as the LEAP-1A (Airbus).

It is a twin spool, high bypass turbofan which incorporates new technology to reduce fuel burn by 16% when compared to the CEO fleet.

The engine is certified to power the following Airbus A320 NEO family of aircraft:

• A319.
• A320.
• A321.

The power plant is identical on all three variants and the thrust is available between 24,400 to 32,900 lbf (108,537 to 146,346 N). This is set by a ratings plug
on the engine.

AIRFLOW

Introduction

The LEAP-1A is a high bypass, twin spool engine.

The mechanical arrangement is:

• Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) - 4 stages.


• High Pressure Compressor (HPC) – 10 stages.
• High Pressure Turbine (HPT) – 2 stages.
• Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) - 7 stages.

As the air enters the inlet, it is accelerated by the 18 fan blades and separated into two flows:

• The primary airflow.


• The secondary airflow.

The primary airflow is directed into the inner section of the fan blades and is then directed into the booster compressor. The fan and boost comprise the Low
Pressure Compressor (LPC). This airflow then enters the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) and onto the annular combustion chamber.

The airflow is then mixed with fuel and ignited.

The product of combustion, the gas flow, flows through the high and low pressure turbines to provide the motive force to drive the compressors and the fan.

The secondary airflow goes through the fan blades and the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGVs) bypassing the core of the engine. It then exits through the nacelle
discharge duct to produce thrust. The secondary airflow is also used in the thrust reverser system on the ground.

The by-pass ratio is approximately 11:1.

HAZARD AND DANGER AREAS

Introduction

Ground personnel must be aware of the danger and hazard areas surrounding the engine. These differ between idle and take-off power.

Always observe the safety corridors and AMM procedures when performing maintenance tasks on or near to an operating engine.

When operating engines, ensure that all Foreign Object Damage (FOD) objects are removed from the area prior to operation.

Specific entry corridors are defined in the AMM for performing certain tasks (e.g. manual override of the starter air valve).

Additionally observe warning regarding hearing damage and use hearing protection (ear protectors) when necessary.

Engine noise can cause temporary and/or permanent loss of hearing.

Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) for certified noise values.

73 & 73A Fuel & Control - Level 1


GENERAL

Introduction

The engine fuel and control system includes the distribution, control and indicating components needed to control the engine safely and efficiently.

• Thrust demands.
• Safety.
• Efficiency.

The system utilises the EECs in an industry standard FADEC manner to calculate the necessary quantity of fuel for combustion to generate the commanded
thrust and ancillary power across the engine’s operating range. The EECs communicate with the airframe via the Engine Interface Unit (EIU). Additionally,
sensor air pressures are processed by the Pressure Sub System (PSS) box before being passed digitally to both EECs. The EECs, EIU and PSS are grouped
together as the Propulsion Control System (PCS).

The system interacts with the airframe and acts upon commands. It also provides information for flight deck indication and fault monitoring diagnosis and
responses to maintenance interaction (BITE).

The Propulsion Control System (PCS) is responsible for control of the engine and subsystems including: oil, fuel, air, ignition and starting and thrust reverse.

The functions of the engine fuel and control system can be grouped as:

1. Control.
2. Fuel distribution.
3. Indication.

System Overview

Fuel from the aircraft tanks enters the LP (Low Pressure) pump stage of the Main Fuel Pump (MFP).

The fuel flows towards Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil cooler before entering the Fuel Metering Unit (FMU) for the first time.

In the FMU, a jet pump increases the boost circuit fuel pressure and it then passes through a strainer before passing through the Main Heat Exchanger
(MHX).

It is then routed back to the MFP where the pressure is boosted by the HP (High Pressure) pump section. The Main Fuel Filter (MFF) then ensures the fuel is
clean. A wash filter within the filter assembly allows some high pressure fuel for servo purposes (in the FMU, Split Control Unit/Servo Valve Assembly
(SCU/SVA) and the air system actuators).

The fuel is then piped back into the FMU to be controlled by the FMV (Fuel Metering Valve). It then passes through the HPSOV (High Pressure Shut off Valve).

After exiting the FMU, the fuel flow is measured and it is directed towards the Split Control Unit/Servo Valve Assembly (SCU/SVA). The SCU/SVA meters the
fuel through manifolds to the 19 Twin Annular Premixing Swirler (TAPS) nozzles for combustion. Specifically, the Pilot Metering Valve (PMV) within the
SCU/SVA controls fuel during starting.

Note: Some components have been omitted for clarity; See level 3 sections for more details.

MAIN FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Units

The engine fuel and control system is orchestrated by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) units. The EECs are two identical, separate LRUs attached to the
right hand side of the fan case.

The EECs provide full digital engine control and protection. They are responsible for the instantaneous control of the engine functions and the longer term
health monitoring, diagnostic, and fault reporting.

Pressure Sub-System (PSS) Box

The pressure sense tubes and lines are connected to the Pressure Sub-System (PSS) Box. The PSS is an LRU installed on the lower right hand side of the fan
case. The PSS takes the analogue air inputs and converts them to digital signals for both of the two EECs to use in control of the engine.

The PSS also is the mounting point for the ratings plug, which is used primarily to set the thrust rating and trim values for the engine (depending on A320
family model (A310/A320/A321). It is located on the lower right hand side of the fan frame.

START BLEED / BOOSTER ANTI-ICE (SB/BAI) VALVE - GENERAL

Introduction

The Start Bleed / Booster Anti-Ice (SB/BAI) valve is dual function valve, controlled by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) units using servo fuel muscle. It is
located on the core of the engine at the 3 o'clock position.

Function

Anti-Ice

When selected by the flight crew (engine anti-ice ON), the SB/BAI valve sends hot air from stage 7 of the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) to the flow splitter
of the booster module to prevent ice formation.

Starting

To improve start performance during start, the SB/BAI valve releases air from stage 7 of the HPC to decrease the compressor pressure. The air is released
into the core compartment via a diffuser.

MODULATED TURBINE COOLING (MTC) SYSTEM

Introduction

To keep the HP turbine from distorting due to high temperatures, 10th stage HPC Compressor Discharge Pressure (CDP) air flow is used to cool the 1st stage
HPT turbine blades and roots via internal passages.

The MTC system regulates the 10th stage CDP air flow to the stage 1 High Pressure Turbine (HPT), by closing a valve and thus reducing the amount of CDP
used for cooling. This increases efficiency.

Oil System – General – Level 1


Description

The oil system is composed of three sub-systems:

• Distribution.
• Storage.
• Indicating.

The majority of the oil system components are on the left hand side of the fan frame, with the oil tank being on the right hand side.

The oil system cools down and lubricates engine bearings and gears. It is also used as part of the heat management system of the fuel system (see ATA 73).

Oil System - Basic Layout

The oil is stored in a tank on the fan case at the 4 o'clock position. It passes through a strainer and then to a dual rotor pressure pump in the lubrication unit
(located on the rear of the Accessory Gearbox (AGB), fan case, 8 o'clock).

Pressurised oil passes through the oil filter mounted on the lubrication unit and the heat of the oil is used to heat the servo fuel in the Servo Fuel Heater
(SFH).

Additionally, cooling of the oil is provided firstly by the Surface Air Cooler Oil Cooler (SACOC) mounted in the cold stream of the bypass duct and then through
the Main Heat Exchanger (MHX) which uses HP fuel after (downstream of) the Main Fuel Filter (MFF).

Oil is then supplied to the main components and scavenged by 5 dependent pumps on the lubrication unit (all fitted with debris screens and magnetic chip
detectors) before being returned to the oil tank via the Oil Debris Monitoring System (ODMS) (or Main Chip Detector), where vent air/oil is also removed.

Lubrication Unit

The oil lubrication unit is mounted on the aft face of Accessory Gearbox (AGB) at the 7 o'clock position. The AGB mounts to the fan frame.

To prevent the Main Heat Exchanger (MHX) from draining and siphoning the AGB when the engine is shutdown a Non Return Valve (NRV) is installed in the
oil supply line after (downstream of) the oil lubrication unit and before (upstream of) the Servo Fuel Heater (SFH).

The NRV is installed in the supply pipe, attached to the fan frame at the 9 o’clock position.

An educator valve, installed at the 8 o’clock position of the High Pressure Turbine (HPT) case controls the pressurisation of the ‘A’ sump at low engine speeds.
It is a mechanical device with no control or feedback to the FADEC system

The oil lubrication unit pressurises the oil, filters it and then lubricates/cools the following components:

• The three engine sumps, ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’.


• Accessory Gearbox (AGB).
• Internal Gearbox (IGB).
• Transfer Gearbox (TGB).

The purpose is to lubricate and cool the gears and bearings inside these components.

Maintenance Performance- Level 2 & 3


INTRODUCTION

The LEAP-1A engine maintenance schedule is based upon the "on-condition" concept.

This means that most in-depth maintenance will only be performed when necessary or when called for by the engine monitoring systems.

With the LEAP-1A, repetitive inspections and tests are performed to determine whether the components, of the engine are serviceable and can continue in-
service.

The engine has no periodic overhaul schedule and can remain on the wing (subject to meeting the test/inspection criteria) until the lifetime limits of parts and
assemblies are reached.

Specifically, to ensure continued in-service operation, the preventative maintenance performed Includes

• Borescope inspection,
• Oil particle analysis (in conjunction with the Oil Debris Monitoring System (ODMS).
• Engine health condition & performance trend monitoring,
• Engine vibration monitoring,
• EEC BITE (initialisation tests and periodic tests) and troubleshooting investigation.

PERFORMANCE - LIMITS

The LEAP-1A engine is a two spool axial flow turbofan.

The Low Pressure (LP) and High Pressure (HP) rotors turn in the clockwise direction Aft Looking Forward (ALF).

Engine pressure ratios are:

• Bypass pressure ratio: 11:1.


• Core pressure ratio: 22:1.

Rotating speeds and limits are:

• Low Pressure rotor (N1) 100%: 3850 RPM.


• Maximum High Pressure rotor (N2) 100%: 16640 RPM.
• Maximum Low pressure rotor (N1) RPM 3890 (101%).
• Maximum High pressure rotor (N2) RPM 19390 (116.5%).

Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) limits are:

• 1060°C.
• Air Start: 875°C.
• Ground start 750°C.

Engine deterioration is directly related to engine hot section time & temperature (EGT) operation. Rapid temperature changes also increase the deterioration
rate of hot parts.

The corner points indicate where the flat rated thrust decreases. At a certain ambient temperature, maximum EGT is reached and therefore fuel flow is
reduced (as ambient temperature continues to rise) to compensate. This has the obvious effect of a reduction in maximum thrust.

• The take-off corner point ambient temperature (at sea level): from 30°C (LEAP-1A35) to 45°C (LEAP-1A23).
• The maximum continuous corner point ambient temperature (at sea level): 10°C.

MAINTENANCE - BORESCOPE INSPECTION PORTS

General

The borescope ports allow access to the internal sections of the engine for scheduled and unscheduled inspections. Borescoping forms part of the “on-
condition” maintenance system for the LEAP-1A, meaning that if all inspections are in limits, the engine may remain in operation.

Additionally the ports give access to the borescope-blending tools which allow blade rework (subject to AMM limits) if necessary. This specialist task can be
performed on-wing.

Locations

In total, there are 26 borescope ports; see attached diagram.

Most ports are on the right hand side of the engine

The igniter mounts are also used as borescope inspection points.

All ports are fitted with self-locking plugs, except ports A and B.

Mandatory Maintenance - Life-Limited Parts

The Air Transport Association (ATA) Chapter 05 identifies the life limits for critical engine parts such as those that rotate (spools, shafts and blisks) and those
that are static (Combustor Diffuser Nozzle (CDN) case) and lists the approved mandatory inspection intervals if any apply.

Note: A blisk (blade-and-disk) is a compressor rotor stage made from a single machined piece of metal which replaces the convention disk and blades design.

The life of these parts is given in flight cycles and therefore those parts are serialised for tracking purposes.

The cycles for these serialised parts must be counted and recorded continuously from the part’s first entry into service.

A cycle is defined as a:

• Flight which has a take-off and landing.


• Touch-and-go landings and take-offs that are utilised during pilot training.

Note: It is the operator’s responsibility to maintain accurate records (keep a life–limited parts list) of these parts and their total number of cycles operated
and the number of cycles they have remaining.

Description

There are five bearings support the LP and HP rotors. The #3 bearing is a dual roller and ball assembly. The function of the bearings is to support axial and
radial loads from both of the engine rotors (LP & HP).

• Roller bearing #1 supports radial loads from rotors N1 & N2.


• Ball bearing #2 supports axial and radial loads from rotors N1 & N2.
• Roller bearing #3R supports radial loads from rotors N1 & N2.
• Ball bearing #3B supports axial and radial loads from rotors N1 & N2.
• Roller bearing #4 supports radial loads from the rear end of rotor N2.
• Roller bearing #5 supports radial loads from the rear end of rotor N1.

The function of the engine sumps is to:

• Isolate the bearings and oil area with a sealed device that prevents oil leaks to other engine areas and minimize engine oil consumption,
• Supply the bearings with permanent oil lubrication.

Operation

Sump A is sealed by two carbon seals & one air seal. Sump B is not pressurized and is sealed by a carbon seal and an air/oil seal.

Sump C is not pressurized and is sealed by a carbon seal and an air/oil seal.

To reduce rotor vibration level, roller bearings #1, #3R and #5 are Squeeze-Film Damped (SFD) bearings. The air comes from the Oil Pressurisation Valve
(OPV) located in the Main Heat Exchanger (MHX) - see ATA 79.

Ball bearing #3B is installed on a spring-design support.

LOW PRESSURE COMPRESSOR – OPERATION

Description

The Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) comprises 4 stages (one fan and 3 booster).

The Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is driven by the 7 stage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) via the LP shaft.

Operation

As the LPC rotates, the 18 fan blades accelerate the air. The air is divided by the booster inlet splitter.

Some of the air enters the booster and is compressed (to be used in combustion). This is primary airflow.

The rest of the air enters the bypass and is used for thrust. This is secondary airflow.

The by-pass ratio is approximately 11:1.

Within the primary airflow path, the fan and booster module accelerate the air ready for entry to the High Pressure Compressor (HPC).

Description

The fan blades provide energy to the airflow by accelerating the airflow and increasing the airflow pressure.

The front spinner:

• Directs and smoothes the airflow aerodynamically to feed the fan stage.
• Protect the booster against Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and icing.
• Reduces noise levels.

The platform front shrouds:

• Provide a smooth aerodynamic surface for the airflow.


• Provides holes to mounts the fan blade balance weights that are used to balance the engine.
• Mechanically secures the fan blade platform position.

The fan blade platforms:

• Smoothes the aerodynamic surface for the airflow to the booster.

Operation

The curved design of the spinner helps debris to be guided into the secondary air flow and not the primary airflow.
The platform front shroud secures the fan blade platforms and is designed with aerodynamic protrusions in line with the fan blades to assist the smooth
passage of air into the fan stage.

Front Spinner and Platform Front Shroud - Interfaces

The front spinner rear flange is connected to the platform front shroud by radial screws and cup washers.

The platform front shroud rear flange shroud is connected to the fan disk by axial screws. The screws connect to barrel nuts held in the fan disk. Once
secured by the screws and barrel nuts, the platform front shroud mechanically holds the fan blade platforms in place.

The platform front shroud holds the fan blade balance weights (x72). There are three combinations; no bolt, bolt or bolt and weight.

Construction

The spinner is an aerodynamic fairing made of anodized aluminium alloy.

The platform front shroud is made of titanium. It additionally has aerodynamic portions that align with the base of the fan blades to smooth the airflow over
the blades. The balance weight positions are engraved every 5th position on the shroud (e.g. 0-5-10-15….).

Maintenance Tip

A dimple on the front platform shroud indicates the position of blade #1. The adjacent bolt hole for the spinner is offset to be fool proof when installing
the spinner.

The fan blades are solid, wide chord, 3D-designed parts. They are made of 3D woven composite material and have a titanium leading edge.

The fan blades are covered with a black rubberised coating for wear protection.

To reduce fretting against other components, wear strips are added to the surfaces that touch:

• Fan disk.
• Fan blade platforms.
• Fan blade locks.
• Booster spool.

Note: The carbon fibre parts may appear black with white marks. The black strips are the interwoven carbon fibres while the white is the injected resin.

The fan blade platforms are also composite parts with wear strips and blade seals which seal between the platforms and the blades.
The blades and the platforms are weighted parts and care should be taken when removing and installing.
The wear strips do not lubricating.

Fan Blade Installation

Each fan blade is installed in a fan disk slot with:

• A spacer to keep the blade in the correct radial position.


• A fan blade lock to keep the blade in the correct axial position.

The blade lock has a honeycomb front edge to absorb forces in the event of blade detachment.

The fan blades are separated by the fan blade platforms and the fan disk shields.

The rear section of the fan blade touches the booster spool.

Maintenance Point

No lubrication of the fan blade root is necessary. Do not lubricate the wear strips on the blades or the platforms. Be careful not to damage the wear strips.

The Fan Disk Shields have sharp edges.

The Fan Blade Platforms have blade seals for sealing along the blade edges. These must be seated correctly (down against the blade).

High Pressure Compressor Module - Level 2 & 3


GENERAL

Description

The High Pressure Compressor (HPC) increases the pressure of the booster discharge air for combustion. It is located between the air inlet and the
combustion section. It forms part of the High Pressure (HP) assembly (N2).

The HPC module consists of:

• Two case sections. Forward and rear compressor stator assembly located between the air inlet and the combustion section.
• HPC rotor assembly located in the forward and rear compressor stator assembly, comprising 10 stages.

Function

The main functions of the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) are:

• It increases the pressure of the booster discharge air for combustion.


• It provides air for cooling and customer bleed (see ATA 30 & 36).
• Provides the rotation energy to drive the Accessory Gearbox (AGB).

The 10 stages of the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) rotor assembly increase the velocity and pressure of the airflow. An Inlet Gearbox (IGB) positioned at
the front of the HPC transmits rotation energy (torque) from the turbine section (HP parts) to the drive shafts to power the Accessory Gearbox (AGB).

The forward and rear compressor stator assembly converts air velocity into an increase in pressure. The air is then directed onto the next higher HPC stage.

There are five stages or adjustable vanes at the front of the HPC, one stage of IGVs (Inlet Guide Vanes) and four stages of VSV (Variable Stator Vanes) –
(see ATA 75).

Operation

The HP turbine turns the HP compressor which increases the pressure of the airflow to feed the combustion section.

The blade stages of the HPC rotor assembly accelerate the airflow, while the matching stator vane stages of the forward and rear compressor stator assembly
straighten and direct this airflow onto the next higher stage.

In order to optimize the HPC module operation, the positions of the IGVs and VSVs are modulated by the compressor control system. When the speed of the
HPC rotor assembly increases, the IGVs and VSVs are axially open and axially closed when the HPC rotor assembly speed decreases.

Operation

The air flow coming from the HPC module enters the combustion section through the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGV). The OGV direct the air flow axially into the
combustion section.

Then the air flow goes through the diffuser, which reduces the velocity and increases the static pressure of the compressed air.

Airflow from the diffuser is directed to the radial mixer before being mixed with the fuel coming from the fuel nozzles. The mixing occurs within and around
the nozzle (discussed in ATA 73).

The fuel/air mixture is burnt in the combustion chamber to produce high energy gases.

These gases travel onwards towards the HPT module by the combustion chamber dome and the inner and outer liners.

The other part of the air flow (HPC discharge air) flows from the diffuser to the space between the inside surface of the Combustor Diffuser Nozzle (CDN)
case and the inner and outer baffles. This airflow cools the combustion chamber through the cooling holes located in the inner and outer liners and baffles.

Additionally some of the HPC discharge air is used to cool the first stage of the HPT hub and blades. This flow is controlled by the MTC Modulating Turbine
Cooling System (see ATA 75).

Turbine Section - Level 2 & 3


GENERAL

The turbine section comprises the 2 stage High Pressure Turbine (HPT) and the 7 stage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) sections.

The turbine section converts the energy of the hot gases produced during combustion into rotational energy to drive the HP and LP shaft. This then turn the
High Pressure Compressor (HPC) module, fan and booster module.

Description

The air from combustions enters the HP turbine.

The HPT stage 1 nozzle assembly directs the flow of combustion air to the 1st stage HPT rotor blades.

The HPT stage 2 nozzle assembly then directs the air to the HPT 2nd stage rotor blades.

The Turbine Centre Frame (TCF) assembly supports the bearing #4 support housing, giving radial support to the HP shaft. The structural support given by
the TCF also minimises the HPT blades clearances.

The air then travels into the LP turbine.

The LPT stage 1 nozzle module supplies the next higher stage with the correct airflow angle. This happens through all 7 stages

The LPT shaft transmits the LPT torque to the fan and booster.

The main components of the turbine section are:

• HPT stage 1 nozzle assembly • LPT stage 1 nozzle module


• HPT rotor assembly • LPT shaft module
• HPT stage 2 nozzle assembly • LPT rotor and stator module
• TCF assembly • TRF module

Operation

The combustion gases flow through the turbine stages. Each blade of the turbine is forced to react and changes the gas flow into rotational energy. The
matching nozzle stages expand and direct the flow onto the next higher rotor stage which repeats the process.

The LP and HP turbines work the same.

The HPT rotor (N2) drives the 10 stages of HPC through the HP shaft.

The LPT rotor (N1) drives the 4 stages of LPC (fan and booster) through the LP shaft.

Turbine Centre Frame Assembly - Level 2 & 3


Description

The front flange of the Turbine Centre Frame (TCF) assembly is connected to the rear flange of the High Pressure Turbine (HPT) stage 2 nozzle assembly by
a bolted flange.

The rear flange of the TCF assembly is connected to the front flange of the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) rotor and stator module.

The TCF assembly interfaces with the HPT rotor assembly through roller bearing #4 and air seals.

It also hosts the mounting points for the 8 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensors T48 sensors (see ATA 77) and cooling ducts that bleed air from the High
Pressure Compressor (HPC) 4th stage.

Components

The Turbine Centre Frame (TCF) assembly consists of:

• TCF case.
• LPT transition duct.
• TCF transition duct seal.
• HPT stator stationary seal.
• Bearing #4 air seals.
• Bearing #4 oil seals.
• Roller bearing #4.

The struts of the TCF case provide support for the bearing #4. They are located within the LPT transition duct to the LPT assembly and therefore the local
temperature is lower and a provides a better location for the oil tubes.

Accessory Drives - Level 2 & 3


GENERAL

The Accessory Gearbox (AGB) is mounted on the fan frame at the 7 o’clock position.

To drive the AGB, an Inlet Gearbox (IGB) (which is part of the #3 bearing assembly) at the front of the N2 HP rotor drives the Radial Drive Shaft (RDS) to the
Transfer Gearbox (TGB).

The TGB then drives the AGB.

The Accessory Gearbox (AGB) drives the N2 HP rotor during starting using the Pneumatic Air Starter (PAS) – (see ATA 74 & 80), in the reverse of the process
above.

Accessory Drives - Description

The IGB consists of a housing including an horizontal bevel gear connected to the HPC front shaft and a pinion bevel gear connected to the Radial Drive Shaft
(RDS).

Note: Bearing #3 is the combination of one roller bearing and one ball bearing (3B and 3R).

The RDS is composed of two alloy steel parts, the radial inner shaft and the outer radial outer.

The TGB consists of a cast housing including a bevel gear connected to the RDS and a bevel gear connected to the TS. There is a short transfer shaft
between the TGB and the AGB.

The AGB consists of a cast housing including a series of spur gears that distribute the torque to the associated engine component and ancillary systems (fuel,
oil hydraulic etc.).

The Transfer Gearbox (TGB) is also the mounting point for the N2 speed sensor (see ATA 77).

The AGB is secured to the fan frame at three points (top, mid and bottom). It additionally has a central damping mount.
Additionally, the AGB has a manual cranking location on the front face for hand turning the HP rotor for maintenance purposes.

Maintenance Point

The hand crank cover includes an interference fool proof design. Ensure the seal is fitted correctly before refitting the panel.

Accessory Gearbox - Rotating Seals

Accessory Gearbox (AGB) has four rotating seals.

Three are located on the AGB front face for the:

• Engine Driven Pump (EDP) location.


• Manual crank pad (turning point).
• Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) location.

One seal is located on the AGB rear face:

• Main Fuel Pump (MFP) location.

Operation

The rotating seals prevent oil and fuel leakage from around the AGB rotating shafts. They are kept in position by retainer rings.

The rotating seal assembly uses a carbon seal with grooves knurled on one surface (the alveolus area). This acts as a pump and creates an air film on which
the mating rotating-seal ring rides on.

The rotating seal consists of a mating ring section and a housing section.

Maintenance Point

The rotating seals must be handled correctly. Incorrect installation or installation of a dirty seal may lead to oil leaks and potential Inflight Shutdown
(IFSD).
Use the correct tools (different tools for mating ring section and the housing sections) when removing/installing and beware of unsecured seals falling
from the AGB when the tool is removed.
The seals are not all the same part number.
