COMPRESSOR TURBINE – DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. General

1.1. The compressor turbine is a two-stage axial-flow unit designed to rotate the compressor and the engine
accessories.

1.2. The compressor turbine includes the following major assemblies:

- Compressor turbine NGV’s housing.

- Stage 1 NGV assembly.

- Stage 2 NGV assembly.

- Rotor.

- Engine third support assembly.

2. Description

2.1. Compressor turbine NGV’s housing (2) (Ref. Fig. 1), common for the stages 1 and 2 NGV’s is a welded
structure attached with its front flange to the flange of combustion chamber casing (1), and with its rear
flange to housing (8) of the free turbine NGV assembly.
Provided externally on the housing are fourteen mounting pads for attachment of thermocouples (3).

The housing accommodates shroud ring (6) with seal (7) located over the fins of the labyrinth seal of
compressor turbine stage 1 rotor wheel.

2.2. The compressor turbine stage 1 NGV assembly incorporates outer ring (5), a set of NGV’s (12), inner ring
(13), and flange (24).

Outer ring (5) is attached at the front to the inner flange of housing (2) with bolts (27) and slide blocks
(26), ensuring radial displacement of outer ring (5) with respect to housing (2) without disturbing the
alignment; whereas at the rear the outer ring is secured and aligned by ring (4) which is locked against
displacement in axial direction with the aid of ring (6).

Provided in the outer ring are slots intended to receive NGV’s (12) and fourteen holes for thermocouples.

Inner ring (13) is bolted to flange (24) through which it is secured to the inner casing of combustion
chamber diffuser (22). Riveted to the conical portion of flange (24) is labyrinth seal housing (18) and
welded to the same conical portion is labyrinth seal housing (20) with seals (19) and (21).

Inner ring (13) is provided with shaped slots designed to receive NGV’s (12).

2.5. The engine third support assembly (which is the tail support assembly of the compressor turbine) is secured,
to the inner ring of the stage 3 NGV assembly and includes bearing housing (5) (Ref. Fig. 3), front carbon
seal (1), seal bushing (9), roller bearing (4), distance bushing (8), shim (3) and damper (7).
A system of passages made in the housing provides for the oil supply to roller bearing (4) and seal bushing
(9) for the purposes of lubrication and cooling.

The bearing outer ring is fitted into bearing housing (5). The required amount of axial displacement of the
outer ring is achieved by selective fitment of shim (3). Sandwiched between the conjugated cylindrical
surfaces of the outer ring and the bearing housing is a resilient element.

2.6. Cooling of Compressor Turbine

The engine employs an air cooling system of the turbine. For the compressor turbine cooling diagram refer
to Figure 4.

The secondary air Б is supplied for cooling of the compressor turbine casings via the holes in the NGV
assembly housing.

The secondary air flow В is divided into two flows.

A portion of the air is supplied to cool the turbine stage 1 NGV’s.

The other portion of the secondary air В passes via the holes provided in the wall of NGV inner ring (3)
and enters the space formed by combustion chamber inner diffuser (1) and compressor turbine shaft (10),
wherefrom it branches out into two flows:

(a) The first airflow passes via labyrinth seals (2) and (4), enters the chamber bound by covering disc (5)
and NGV inner ring (3), cools them and flows into the flow duct upstream of the stage 1 rotor wheel.

(b) The second airflow passes via holes specially provided in shaft (10) and enters the chamber Д of the
compressor turbine rotor. Prom there, a portion of the air passes via holes specially provided in the disc
cylindrical collar and enters the chamber bound by covering disc (5) and the stage 1 disc, cools the
front face of the disc, the roots and footings of the turbine stage 1 blades and then flows into the flow
duct via the gaps at the blade inner platforms and roots as well as via the holes provided for this purpose
around the periphery of rear covering disc (6).

The remainder of this airflow enters the compressor turbine chamber B, wherefrom, passing through the
truncated face splines, it flows:

- Via the holes in the hub of covering disc (6) into the chamber bound by the turbine stage 1 disc and
covering disc (6), cools the rear side of the turbine stage 1 disc and flows into the flow duct through the
peripheral holes provided in covering disc (6).

- Via the holes provided in the hub of covering disc (7) into chamber bound by the turbine stage 2 disc and
covering disc (7), cools the front face of the disc, the roots and the footings of the turbine stage 2 rotor
blades and is finally discharged into the engine flow duct through the gaps at the inner platforms and
roots of the blades as well as via holes specially provided around the periphery of covering disc (8).
- Along the flats made in the coupling bolts and the grooves milled in the locating collars of the stage 2
disc and covering disc (8) towards the aft side of the turbine stage 2 disc, cools it and is discharged
through the peripheral holes in covering disc (8) into the flow duct.

OPERATIONS AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS (T. R.)
ACTIONS BY

1. Remove the ignition plugs as directed in Task Card No. 806, Section 072.00.00.
2. Inspect the thermocouples through the holes for the ignition plugs with the aid of the endoscope for
absence of local overheating. Presence of grayish-green color on the material of the thermocouple
retardation chamber is indicative of effect of temperature T > 1000 °C on it. If such thermocouples are
available, remove them together with the skirts as directed in Task Card No. 809, Section 072.00.00 and
inspect the band-housing for absence of cracks and flaking in the area of weld spots (Ref. Fig. 201).
NOTE: If necessary, inspect the nozzle guide vanes and rotor blades of the first stage of the compressor
turbine as directed in Step 5.1 of Task Card No. 608, Section 072.00.00.
In case of detection of cracks more than 1 mm long and more than 0.25 mm high, withdraw the engine Perform the operations
