COMPRESSOR
The CFM56-5B has two axial compressor sections, one for each shaft:
the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) fan booster section, and the High
Pressure Compressor (HPC) section.
The LPC is composed of: fan frame, fan booster rotor, and fan booster
stator.
The HPC section is divided into: HPC rotor, and HPC stator.
FAN FRAME ASSEMBLY
The fan frame module carries inlet cowl loads to support the fan,
booster and HPC and their bearings, contains the forward mount and
supports transfer and accessory gearboxes. It provides ducting for
primary and secondary airflows and variable bleed valves.
FAN BOOSTER ROTOR
The fan rotor consists of one full diameter single stage fan for the
secondary flow and a four-stage booster for the core engine flow.
FAN BOOSTER STATOR
Fixed stator vanes are installed for both, the fan and booster rotor.
The casing is supported by the fan frame and supports the accessory
drive gearbox. TECH INSERTION CFM56 technology introduces
U7Z08431 - U2XT1T0 - UM72D1CFM000001

re-designed HPC rotor blades to improve HPC efficiency.

HPC ROTOR
The HPC compressor rotor is a 9-stage axial flow assembly. The rotor
consists of stages 1-2 spool, stage 3 disk, stages 4-9 spool.
HPC STATOR ASSEMBLY
All 9 stages of the compressor stator are shrouded. The Inlet Guide
Vanes (IGVs) and the stator vanes of the following 3 stages of the
compressor are variable - called Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs).
