blades which increase the speed (kinetic
energy) of the air.
Then, air flows through a row of stator
vanes acting as diffusers, using the kinetic
energy to increase air pressure.

Internally, the vane is divided into two cavities.

Air flowing into the forward cavity is discharged
through holes in the leading edge and through gill
holes on each side close to the leading edge to form
a thin film of cool air over the length of the vane.
Air flowing into the aft cavity is discharged through
additional film holes and trailing edge slots.

PGT25 DLE Gas Generator Air Flows
Overview

Sump Pressurization Air
8th stage bleed air is

used to suck a high
volume of ambient air
through a Venturi duct
Air from the ejector is piped into the front frame

hub where it pressurizes and cools the A sump

Sump Pressurization Air
Some of the A sump air passes through holes in the

compressor rotor front shaft and through the rotor
air duct to pressurize the B and C sumps

CDP Cooling & Sealing Air
 Hot gases need to be sealed in their path

 Gas turbine components in the hot gas
path have to be cooled down to avoid
overheating
 This cooling and sealing action is
performed by compressor discharge air

PGT25 DLE Gas Generator Accessory Drive
Overview

Overview

Components
The accessory drive section

Inlet consists of:
Gearbox
(IGB)  an inlet gearbox located in
the hub of the front frame
 a radial drive shaft inside
the 6 o’clock strut of the
Radial front frame
Drive  a transfer gearbox and a
Shaft
accessory gearbox bolted
underneath the front frame
Transfer Accessory
Gearbox Gearbox
(TGB) (AGB)

Inlet Gearbox
Mechanical power is extracted from the compressor rotor through a large diameter
hollow shaft which is spline-connected to the rotor front shaft.
A set of bevel gears in the inlet gearbox transfers this power to the radial drive shaft.

Inlet Gearbox
The radial drive shaft transmits the

power to another set of bevel gears
in the forward section of the
transfer gearbox.
A short horizontal drive shaft
transmits the power to the
accessory drive adapters in the
accessory gearbox

Accessory Gearbox
The AGB has drive provisions for:

 pneumatic or hydraulic starter
which drives the high pressure
rotor through the Transfer
Gearbox assembly
 lube and scavenge pump
assembly
 VSV servo valve
 packager-supplied accessories
 manual rotation of the high
pressure rotor system during
borescope inspection
