Daily Activities
Friday, 19 Oct 2012
Units are original packages that were removed and moved to warehouse. Engine was kept at
warehouse almost 1 year without preservation.
HP compressor, combustor and HP turbine borescope ports were removed. Only 1 fuel nozzle were
removed and inspected. Found it in good shape. Feeder tubes are fine. Clearance is correct. HP compressor
was found fairly dirty but no anomaly detected.
T2/PT2 Probe: was secure and no damage, corrosion or obstructions were observed
The inner and outer panels are fully intact with no distortion or other defects noted. No distortion
was visible in the dome plate and the dome plate inner and outer overhangs were fully intact with no cracks
or missing material. Thermal barrier coat was missing from numerous trumpet splash plates in varying
degrees and some slight erosion was noted on the edges of the trumpet splash plates in the area were the
thermal barrier coat is missing.
Found a crack at 6 o’clock position on inner liner, out of limits. See picture. Some erosion and
discoloration was found.
1st stage HPT blades: nothing abnormal was observed on flow path concave side and leading
edges. Some loss of coating was detected.
2nd stage HPT blades: nothing abnormal was observed on flow path concave side and leading
edges.
1st stage HPT nozzles: Cooling holes on HP S1 nozzles are mostly clogged. See picture…
PT was visually inspected. First stage blades as thoroughly as possible without rotating the power
turbine (inspection was made using a flexible borescope through the Pt5.4 ports). No cracking, nicks, dents,
corrosion or erosion was observed.
Both igniters have been removed and inspected. No anomaly found.
Engine external status: engine shows an external dirtiness in general.
