Q

What bleed air is used for sealing of engine bearing chambers?

A

Low pressure compressor bleed

17
Q

Pressurised air acting on the air and oil seals has what additional sealing effect?

A

Prevents oil from escaping the bearing chamber

18
Q

Where is the sealing air vented overboard?

A

Through the hollow N1 rotor shaft

19
Q

What secondary function/external air services are supplied by the compressor? (What is bleed used for)

A
  • Cabin pressurisation, heating and cooling
  • De-ice and anti-ice
  • Pneumatic engine start
  • Auxiliary drive units
20
Q

The external cooling system cools and ventilates what areas?

A

Area between cowling and engine cases

21
Q

What is a bowed rotor caused by?

A

Engine bending due to differences in expansions

22
Q

What does the external cooling system ensure?

A

All components in the fan and core components are sufficiently cooled
