MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE
gas
turbine
the
combustor,
and
gearbox
turbine engine
provides rotational-force at a constant
speed
to drive the 10kW generator
mounted on the front of the gearbox.
In addition, the engine provides bleed
air to the air filter.
The engine is a
single-shaft design with the compressor
and turbine wheels mounted on a common
shaft.
Air is drawn in through the
compressor air inlet, compressed by the
vanes
of the compressor
wheel,
and
distributed to the outer chamber of the
combustor housing.
The air then passes
through holes in the combustor liner
and
through
three
fuel
injection
nozzles
spaced
evenly
around
the
liner.
Fuel is atomized in the fuel
Injection nozzles, mixed with the air,
and injected into the combustor, where
it is
ignited.
The burning
fuel
expands rapidly and is forced through
the vanes of the turbine nozzle and
against the vanes of the turbine wheel
causing the turbine wheel to rotate.
Power produced by the rotating turbine
wheel is transmitted by the turbine
shaft to the generator drive assemblies
in the gearbox.
