COMPRESSOR TURBINE · DESCRIPTION· AND OPERATION

1. General

1.1. The compressqr tur bine is a two-stage axial-flow u nit . de signed to rotate the compressor
and the engine acceasories.

1.2. The compreosor.tur bine includes the·following l!l£l.jor assemblies:

- Compressor turbine NGV's housing.
- Stage 1 NGV assembly.
Stage 2 NGV a�sembly.
- Rotor.
- Engine third suppor1;·assembly.

2. Deocription

2.1. Compressor turbine NGV' s housing (2) (Ref. Fig. 1), common for the stages 1 and 2 NGV' s1
is a welded structure attached with its front flange to the flange of combustion
cham­ber casing (1), Ell1d 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
thermo ­coupl es (J).

The housing accommodates shroud r'ing (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 ass embly incorporates outer ring (5), a se� of PGV'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 sl ide bl ocks (26), ensuring radial displ acement of outer ring (5) with res­p,ect
to hous,ing (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 �ial direction
with the aid of ring (6).

Provided in the outer ring are sl ots 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 cham ber diffuser (22). Riveted to the conical portion of flange
(24 ) is labyrinth seal housing (18) and welded to the same conical portion is l abyrinth
seal housing (20) with seal s (19) and (21)•

. Inner ring (13) is provided with shaped slots designed to receive �GV's (12).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NGV's (12) are hollow castings cooled by the secondary air delivered from the combus­
tion chamber via bushings (25) into the vanes. Passing via the ports (punched holes)
in the vane trailing edge, the air is discharged into th.e engine gas flow duct.

Bushing (25) is :retained by ring (23) from fall.ing out.

2.3. The stage 2 NGV assembly is a cast unit provided with hollow NGV's (11).

NGV assembly (10) is fitted with the front flange of the outer ring to ring (6) of
housing (2) and centralized in the rear flange of housing (2) with the aid of pins (9)
provided in the rear flange. Secured to the inner ring is diaphragm. (15) wit� laby­
rinth seal housing (16) and seal (17) operating in conjunction.with the air laby:rin.th­
type seal fins of the compressor turbine stage 1 rotor wheel rear covering disc.

2.4. The compressor turbine rotor incorporates shaft (26) (Ref. Fig. 2), two discs (25)
and (24) (of the stages 1 and 2, :respectively) with rotor blades (8) and (9), and four
covering discs - first disc (7), second disc (6), third disc (10), and fourth disc (11).

·The aha.ft and the stages 1 and 2 discs are centralized, coupled to each.other by means
of the �ace splines, and tightened up by coupling bolts (14).

Th'e covering discs are centralized by resting upon the respective collars provided in
the stages 1 and 2 discs. The first covering disc is locked against turziing with res­
pect to the rotor by pins (5), the second and third covering discs by stops �12), and
the fourth covering disc by coupling bolts (14). The shaft and the stages 1 thru 4 co­
vering discs are provided with·fins (4 collars in all) which in conjunction with the
adjoining components of the stator form air labyrinth-type seals.

The blades axe secured in the discs by means of fir-tree attachments.

The tips of the blades feature platforms that form an annular shroud around the peri­
phery of the rotor wheel. The platforms are provided with external fin� that form an
annular gas labyrinth seal around the periphery of the rotor wheel.

The torque is conveyed from the turbine to the compressor via involute splines machined
on the end of the turbine shaft.

The turbine and compressor rotors are joined by coup ling bushing (29) secured in posi­
tion by lock (2).

Nut (17) serves to tighten the inner race of the third support assembly bearing and is
secured with cupped locking ring (16). The butt end projections of t�e locking ring
enter the slots made in the face of the stage 2 disc journal.

The compressor turbine rotor rests upon two support assemblies. The rear journal of
the co�pressor together with the second support assembly ball bearing act as a front
support. The rear support is provided by the roller bearing of the engille. third support
assembly. The rotor rests upon the roller bearing by. the j ou.rnal provided on stage 2
disc (24).

2. 5, 'nle engine third support assembly (which is the tail support assembly of the compressor
turbiDe) is secured to the inner ring of the stage J NGV assembly and iDcludes bearing
housillg (5) '(Ref, Fig. )), front carbon seal (1), seal bushing (9), rol.ler bearing (4),
dist8Jlce bushing (8), shim (J) 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.

'nle bearing outer ring is fitted into bearing housing (5). The required amount o:r axie.l
displacement of the outer ring is achieved by selective fitmeilt of shim (J). Sandwiched
between the conjugated cylindrical surfaces of the outer ring and the bearing housing
is a resilient elemeDt.

2.6, Cooling of Compressor Turbine

The eng:1ne employs an air cooling system of the turbi.ne, For the compressor turbine cool­
ing diagram refer to Figure 4,

'nle secondary air Eis supplied for cooling of the compressor turbine casings via the
holes in the NGV assembly housing.

'nle secondary air flow Bis 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 Bpasses via the holes provided in the wal.l of
NGV inner ring ()) and enters the space formed by combustion chamber inner diffuser ( 1)
and compressor turbiDe shaft ( 10), \":heref:-om it bre.nches out into two flows:

(a) The first airflow passes via labyrinth seals (2) and (4), enters the chamber bound
by covering disc (5) and NOV inner ring CJ) t coo1s them and flows into the flow duct
upstream of the stage 1 rotor wheel.

(b) The second airflow passes via holes special.ly provided in aha.ft (10) and enters the
chamber ll of the compressor turbine rotor. Prom there, a portion of the air passes
via holes specially pr ovided in the disc cylindrical collar and enters the chamber
bound by covering dioc (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 platforlllS 8.lld roots as wel.l as via the holes
provided for this purpose around the periphery o:r rec.r covering disc (6).

'l.'he remainder of this ai.r.tlow enters the compressor turbine chamber E, wherefl'om, pas­
siDg through the truncated face splines, it flows:

- Via the holes in the hub of covering disc (6) in to the chamber bound b� the turbine
stage 1 disc and covering disc (6) • cools the rear side of the turbi.lle stage 1 disc
and flows into the flow duct through the peripheral holes provided in covering
disc (6).
