ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT

The CFM56-7B engine is a high by-pass, dual rotor, axial
ow, advanced technology turbofan. It is supported by
the wing pylon and streamlined by cowlings.
Air is sucked into the intake by the fan blades and
separated by a splitter fairing into two ow paths, the
Primary and the Secondary.
The primary airow passes through the inner portion of
the fan blades and is directed into a booster (LPC).
The ow path then enters a High Pressure Compressor
(HPC) and goes to a combustor. Mixed with fuel and
ignited, the gas ow provides energy to a High Pressure
Turbine (HPT) and a Low Pressure Turbine (LPT).
The secondary airow passes through the outer portion
of the fan blades, the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGVs) and
exits through the nacelle discharge duct, producing
approximately 80 % of the total thrust at take-off. It also
plays a role in the thrust reverser system.
At static take-off power, the engine by-pass ratio is
between 5.1:1 and 5.5:1, depending on the engine
model, which means that the secondary airow takes in
between 5 and 6 times more air than the primary airow.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT

The CFM56-7B engine uses a maintenance concept
called On Condition Maintenance. This means that the
engine has no periodic overhaul schedules and can
remain installed under the wing until something important
occurs, or when lifetime limits of parts are reached.

- Engine vibration monitoring system: sensors

located in various positions in the engine, send
vibration values to the on-board monitoring
system. When vibration values are excessive,
the data recorded can be used to take remedial
balancing action.

For this reason, to monitor and maintain the health of the

engine, different tools are available, which are:
- Engine performance trend monitoring, to evaluate
engine deterioration over a period of use: engine
parameters, such as gas temperature, are
recorded and compared to those initially observed
at engine installation on the aircraft.
- Borescope inspection, to check the condition
of engine internal parts: when parts are not
accessible, they can be visually inspected with
borescope probes inserted in ports located on the
engine outer casing.
- Lubrication particles analysis: while circulating in
the oil system, lubrication oil is ltered, and large,
visible-to-the-eye particles (larger than 10 microns)
coming from worn engine parts are collected
in lters and magnetic chip detectors, for visual
inspection and analysis.

Airworthiness limitations.
The airworthiness limitations section (Chapter 05)
contains the life limits for rotating and static engine parts
and the approved mandatory inspection intervals for
specic engine parts.
The life of parts is given in ight cycles. The cycles for
each part serial number must be counted continuously
from its rst entry into service.
A cycle is dened as:
- A ight which has a take-off and landing.
or,
- A touch-and-go landing and take-off used to train
pilots.
It is the operators responsibility to maintain accurate
records of the total number of cycles operated and the
number of cycles remaining.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT

The CFM56-7B engine consists of two independent
rotating systems:
- The low pressure system rotational speed is
designated N1.
- The high pressure system rotational speed is
designated N2.
The engine rotors are supported by 5 bearings, identied
in manuals as numbers 1 thru 5, where No. 1 is the
most forward and No. 5 the most aft. These bearings are
housed in 2 dry sump cavities provided by the fan and
turbine frames.
Engine structural rigidity is obtained with short lengths
between two main structures (frames).
The accessory drive system uses energy from the high
pressure compressor rotor to drive the engine and aircraft
accessories. It also plays a major role in starting.

The combustion case.
The combustion case is a weldment structure, which
provides the structural interface between the HPC, the
combustor and the LPT and transmits the engine axial
loads.
It provides 9th stage bleed air for both engine and aircraft
use.

The combustion case also has :

- 6 borescope ports.
- 3 customer bleed ports.
- 4 ports for LPT stage 1 cooling.
- 3 ports for HPT clearance control air, 1 for source air
and 2 for the introduction of air to the shrouds.
- 1 port for TBV air discharge.
- 2 pads for sensor PS3 and T3.

It incorporates the compressor Outlet Guide Vanes

(OGV) and a diffuser, which slows down HPC airow prior
to delivering it into the combustion area, thus improving
combustion efciency.
The mounting pads accommodate 20 fuel nozzles around
the outer surface and 2 igniters, which are at the 4 and 8
oclock positions.
The fuel nozzles are supplied by the following equipment,
which is attached to the case :
- A fuel supply manifold (Y-tubes).
- 4 fuel manifold halves.

ACCESSORY DRIVE SYSTEM

At engine start, the accessory drive system transmits
external power from the engine air starter to drive the
core engine.
When the engine is running, the accessory drive system
extracts part of the core engine power and transmits it
through a series of gearboxes and shafts in order to drive
the engine and aircraft accessories.
For maintenance tasks, the core can be cranked
manually through the Accessory Gearbox.
The accessory drive system is located at the 9 oclock
position (aft looking forward)and consists of the following
components :
- Inlet Gearbox (IGB), that takes power from the HPC
front shaft.
- Radial Drive Shaft (RDS), that transmits the power
to the Transfer Gearbox.
- Transfer Gearbox (TGB), which redirects the torque.
- Horizontal Drive Shaft (HDS), that transmits power
from the Transfer Gearbox to the Accessory
Gearbox.
- Accessory Gearbox (AGB), that supports and drives
both engine and aircraft accessories.

THE ACCESSORY GEARBOX (AGB)

The Horizontal Drive Shaft (HDS).
The Horizontal Drive Shaft provides power transmission
between the TGB and the AGB.
The horizontal drive tube is made of steel alloy and is
tted with an aluminium alloy sliding sleeve.
The horizontal drive tube and the sliding sleeve house
and protect the HDS and the bevel gear shaft assembly.

To separate the TGB from the AGB, the self-locking nut is

removed and the V-clamp detached.
The sliding sleeve is then moved rearward on the
horizontal drive tube to enable access to the locking nut
and horizontal drive shaft (left-hand threads).
After the locking nut has been loosened, the horizontal
drive shaft can be disengaged from the gear shaft.

The horizontal drive tube is bolted to the TGB housing

and the sliding sleeve ensures connection with the AGB
through a V-clamp.
Two O-rings between the transfer tube, the horizontal
bevel gear support bearing and the TGB housing and
an O-ring between the sleeve and the AGB rear ange
provide the necessary sealing of the assembly.
The HDS is made of steel alloy.
It is splined at both ends and drives the AGB gears
through the hand-cranking drive gear.
The shaft is secured in the drive gear by a locking nut.
