T56 ENGINE UPGRADATION Rev01
T56 -7B ENGINE UPGRADATION
PROGRAMME TO -15LFE
BY
AIROD TECHNO POWER
WHY UPGRADATION IS NEED OF HOUR FOR BAF
• USAF discontinued T56-A-7 engine (ICR 2014)
• OEM reduced T56-A-7 engine support
• Only Overhauled or PMA parts available – not reliable • Overhaul Manual & Commercial Bulletin are not accessible by non-USAF operator
• Limited repair stations for parts recovery
WHY UPGRADATION IS NEED OF HOUR FOR BAF
• Recently 03 x T-56-7B ENG have been
Overhauled at AIROD
• Poor material condition
• Severity of damage is high
• Failure rate is high
•
Costly maint –maint difficulties, frequent spares required due to failure of component , high overhauling cost due poor condition
• Cant be continue in operation up to TBO life
VIABLE SOLUTION
• LOW-RISK TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
• LOW-COST TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
LOW-RISK TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
LOW COST TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
The Best Return on Investment
By
With
Improving engine fuel consumption
Up to 7.9% Specifc Fuel Consumption Improvement
Improving hot-day take-off performance
Hot day maximum engine torque limit operation being extended from a 32 o
C day up to ~47 o C day
Improving turbine life
Normal Cruise Condition - Engine Turbine Inlet Temp (TIT) lowered ~ 84 o C (with same torque limit as Series III configuration) Increasing operational flexibility
• Same fuel load / same cargo / further range -OR• Same fuel load / more cargo / same range -OR• Less fuel load / same cargo / same range
Less impact to the environment
For a typical C-130 long-range logistics mission:
• 432 Liters saved per aircraft per mission
• 122,540 Liters saved per aircraft per year
• 313 metric tons CO2 eliminated per aircraft per year
• 52 passenger vehicles removed from the road per year per aircraft upgraded to 3.5 configuration
Estimated fuel savings are mission dependent –
Increased fuel efficiency will improve aircraft range capability & provide increased operational flexibility BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF UPGRADATION
