Engine Components
Gas Generator Assembly
• Air Inlet Case
• Compressor (Three axial stages
plus single centrifugal stage)
• Compressor Turbine(Single stage)
• Combustion Chamber
Structure:
• (The outer race is secured within the bearing inner housing by
an externally threaded retaining ring and locking rivet, while
the inner housing is secured to the outer housing by four bolts
and nuts at the rear.)
• The air inlet screen is an open mesh screen wrapped around the
periphery of the inlet
Compressor Section
Role: The compressor rotor is housed in the gas generator case and is driven by the
compressor turbine. It compresses incoming air for delivery to the combustion chamber.
Structure:
Rotor
• Τhree axial stages and a single-stage centrifugal impeller
• The first-stage rotor has 16 blades while the second- and third-stage rotors each have 36
blades
• The rotor blades fit into dovetail grooves machined in the rims of respective disks.
• Discs through-bolted with centrifugal compressor to shaft.
• Axial movement of the blades is limited by three interstage spacers installed between the
rotor disks
• Single-sided centrifugal compressor with 26 vanes
• The centrifugal impeller is bolted to the three axial stages and associated spacers by six
numbered tie rods to form an integral unit.
• (Fabricated one-piece stainless-steel casing and radial diffuser)
Compressor Section
Stator
• The stator vanes (44 first-stage, 40 second-stage, 44 third-stage) are brazed to casing
• (Each set of vanes is held in position by its respective compressor stator assembly
through which the outer ends of the vanes protrude and to which the vane ends are
brazed in the stator disk. )
• (The first- and third-stage stator assemblies are bolted together, while the second-stage
stator assembly is retained between flanges in the centerbores of the first and third-stage
stator assemblies.)
• (Rotation is prevented by slots and lugs in the mating flanges.)
• Compressor bleed valve for interstage pressure vent through slots in the third stage
stator assembly in order to avoid compressor surging.
Combustion Chamber
Role: Delivered air from the diffuser section discharges into the combustion
section. The air enters the liner through straight and plunged holes, mixes with
the fuel from the manifold, and is ignited. The expanding gases flow to the
rear and into the exit duct zone, where the gas flow is turned 180 degrees
inward to flow forward through the compressor turbine stator to the
compressor turbine.
Structure:
• (Annular) reverse-flow.
• Stainless steel inner and outer liner
• Two spark igniters and 14 simplex Burners .
• To ensure optimum air cooling of the combustion chamber, fourteen
additional air holes are incorporated in the liner.
Rotor blades
Exhaust Duct
• Exhaust duct assembly and a
shaped insulation blanket.
•Heat-resistant nickel-alloysheet,
•Truncated cone fabrication with twin
opposed exhaust ports and an annular
sheet metal inlet.
•Produces some small amount of
JetThrust
Reduction Gearbox
Oil System
• Self-contained
lubrication system
