Q

What does the reduction gear train provide?

A

An output drive for the main transmission drive shaft.
(Also provides a reduction of rotational speed from 44009RPM (power turbine speed at 100%) to 6000RPM (output gear) with CW rotation - the reduction ratio is 7.3:1)

16
Q

What is the purpose of the air intake?

A

Directs the ambient air into centrifugal compressor

17
Q

What is the type of compressor?

A

A centrifugal single stage compressor

18
Q

What is the purpose and location of the compressor?

A

Provides compressed air required for combustion,it is located at the rear of the air intake casing

19
Q

What is the type of combustion chamber?

A

An annular, reverse flow type

20
Q

What does the combustion chamber do?

A

It burns the air-fuel mix and delivers the burnt gases to the turbine.

21
Q

What are the two flows divided in the combustion chamber?

A

A primary air flow mixed with the fuel for combustion

A secondary air flow (diluted) for cooling of the burnt gases.

22
Q

What is the gas gen turbine type and purpose?

A

An axial, single stage type.

Transforms kinetic energy contained in the burnt gases into mech power to drive the compressor and engine accessories.

23
Q

What is the power turbine type and purpose?

A

An axial, single stage type.

Tranforms the gas energy provided by the gas generator into mech power to drive the reduction gear train.

24
Q

What does the exhaust system do?

A

Continues the expansion phase and expels the gases overboard

25
Q

What are the two engine air systems?

A

Combustion air

Internal air and tappings

26
Q

What is P3?

A

Centrifugal compressor outlet pressure.

27
Q

What does the internal air flow system do?

A

Pressurizes the labyrinth seals, cools certain internal parts and provides balancing of forces with air pressure against the discs

28
Q

What are the 3 external air tapping system used for?

A

(P3 air is taken from the compressor stage outlet)
Air pressure control signals for the EECU
Air pressure for the HMU acceleration control system
Aircraft services (heating and EAPS)
