3
Q
Oil system
A
-used for sealing, heat transfer, lubrication and control air inlet valve (unloader valve)
4
Q
Safety relief valve
A
-only thing protecting over pressurizing the casing
5
Q
Bypass valve (thermal mixing valve)
A
-stops the air from going to the cooler and warms it up quicker
6
Q
Machining an extra cut in the stator
A
-helps to volume of trapped air between the adjoining rows of vanes since there is always some carryover of compressed air in this space
