The low pressure compressor is from the 6FA industrial gas turbine.
High pressure compressor based on GE90-94B, with 23:1 pressure ratio and only 10 stages.
Debris extraction within the low pressure compressor guards high pressure compressor.
A geared, variable pitch, fan replaced the first stage of the low pressure (LP) compressor.
From the inside channel, air travels into the high pressure compressor, after which it enters the combustion chamber.
Each step from the low to high pressure compressor increases air pressure.
The intercooler cools air entering the high pressure compressor, reducing the amount of energy required to compress the air.
Bulk cylinders are also quiet in operation compared to a low pressure compressor, but have the obvious limitation of amount of gas available.
Its work includes final assembly, the high pressure compressor, the low pressure shaft, the intermediate case and the bearing support structure.
A 3-stage intermediate pressure compressor, situated directly behind the fan, supercharges the core.
