B. Concurrent Requirements None.

C. Reason

(1) Problem The current standard of Intermediate Pressure (IP) compressor stages 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly is susceptible to high cycle fatigue cracking travelling axially rearwards from the front edge of the front seal. This cracking may result in reduced stage 1 disc integrity.

ENGINE - IP COMPRESSOR SHAFT - INTRODUCTION OF AN IP COMPRESSOR STAGES 1 TO 8 ROTOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY FEATURING REVISED FRONT SEAL GEOMETRY - MOD.72-K571 Printed in Great Britain TRENT 1000 72−K571 Page 1 of 58 Jun.15/21 Jun.15/21 TRENT 1000 SERIES

SERVICE BULLETIN

The problem is attributed to:

(a) Frequency alignment with the acoustic resonance of the cavity downstream of the IP Compressor front seal.

(b) Seal instability as a result of an acoustic bite from the interaction with the acoustic resonance of the cavity downstream of the IP Compressor front seal.

(c) A feedback mechanism between the IP Compressor front seal and buffer seal involving the buffer seal exciting an inner cavity acoustic mode, which successively excites the front seal.

(2) Evidence The problem has been identified on in-service and development programme engines with maximum crack lengths ranging between 5,4 mm (0.21 in.) and 6,3 mm (0.25 in.).

In addition, the problem has been observed in the flight test development programme of one other Rolls-Royce Trent series engine with a similar design of IP Compressor stages 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly, with a maximum crack length of 8,34 mm (0.33 in.).

(3) Substantiation The changes introduced by this Service Bulletin have been the subject of satisfactory engineering evaluation, including stress, vibration and thermals analysis.

(4) Objective Incorporation of this Service Bulletin (Modification) is designed to maintain reliability.

(5) Effect of Bulletin on:

(a) Operation Not affected.

(b) Maintenance Not affected.

(c) Overhaul Affected (see 1.L. Other Publications Affected).

SERVICE BULLETIN

(d) Repair Schemes Affected (affected Repair Schemes will be revised to include the part(s) introduced by this Service Bulletin).

(e) Interchangeability Affected (see 1.M. Interchangeability of Parts).

D. Description

(1) The changes are:

(a) A revised IP compressor stages 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly is introduced similar to the existing item except for:

(i) The number of seal fins on the front seal is reduced from 4 to 3 resulting in the axial length of the seal arm to be reduced by 9,05 mm (0.36 in.).

(ii) A chamfer is introduced on upper and lower front edges of the front seal.

(2) Existing IP compressor stages 1 to 8 rotor shaft assemblies may be reworked. The rework standard features identical changes as the new production standard except for a radius feature on the upper front edge that is a result of machining the part, and a machining tolerance of Plus/Minus 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) is applied. Additionally, the upper and lower front edges of the machined part are deburred.

(3) This Service Bulletin is in two parts as follows:

(a) Part 1 New production and in-service applications.

(b) Part 2 The application of a reworked standard of IP Compressor stages 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly.

(4) For effect on declared life see Time Limits Manual 05-10-01.

3. Accomplishment Instructions A. The revised IP compressor stage 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly introduced by this Service Bulletin is one-way interchangeable (see 1.M. Interchangeability of Parts). Remove the existing and install the new or reworked IP compressor stage 1 to 8 rotor shaft assembly in accordance with current overhaul procedures (Engine Manual, 72-32-30, Disassembly and Assembly).

B. Rework the existing Intermediate Pressure (IP) Compressor Rotor Shaft Assembly (KH18436) (IPC ATA 72-32-31, Fig/Item 01-450).

GENERAL DATA CAUTION: THE IP COMPRESSOR ROTOR SHAFT MUST STAY CLEAN AND MUST HAVE NO CONTAMINATION AT ALL TIMES. PUT ON CLEAN COTTON GLOVES BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE SHAFT. WHEN THE PROCEDURE IS STOPPED OR COMPLETED, A COVER MUST BE PUT ON THE SHAFT.

WARNING: MAKE SURE NECESSARY MASKING IS APPLIED, ELSE INJURY CAN OCCUR.

This TASK gives the procedure to modify the Intermediate Pressure (IP) Compressor Rotor Shaft Assembly by machining the front seal arm.

Source demonstration is necessary for this rework. Only those companies who hold letters of approval for this rework from Rolls-Royce plc are authorised to do this rework. Vendors who hold this approval are listed in TSD 7019 (Authorised Repair Vendor Directory). This source controlled rework and associated repair vendor shop documentation are classified as fixed process documents and must be controlled as specified in RRES90000.

Protect the part during Rework in between operations and after Rework in accordance with OP TASK 70-00-00-300-340.

Overhaul Processes (OP) referenced in the text by TASK/SUBTASK number are detailed in the Engine Overhaul Processes Manual (TSD594-J).

TASKS identified by SPM TASK are in the Standard Practices Manual.

This rework can be done by one of the below three parts:

Part 1: Rework with the Stages 1 and 2 blades removed, Stages 3 to 8 blades, IP Compressor Front Stubshaft (KH36286) and Curvic (KH26324) installed.

Part 2: Rework in the piece part level.

Part 3: Rework with the Stages 1 to 8 blades, IP Compressor Front Stubshaft (KH36286) and Curvic (KH26324) installed.

SERVICE BULLETIN

This Service Bulletin requires the use of the RRT119749 lifter and RRT119747 shaft centraliser that can be used to machine the Trent 1000-TEN application only. When using the RRT119747 shaft centraliser, there is no requirement to remove the dampening ring.

This Service Bulletin permits the use of an alternative RRT119750 lifter and RRT119748 shaft centraliser. This specific tooling can also be used for the Trent 7000 application. Use of the RRT119750 lifter and RRT119748 shaft centraliser requires the removal of the RRT119756 dampening ring assembly before the lifter is installed and re-installation of the dampening ring before the machining is done. An RRT119754 lifting collar must be installed on the RRT119750 lifter before the lifter is installed on a Trent 1000-TEN IP Compressor Front Stubshaft (KH36286).

Equivalent locally manufactured tooling can be used. Agreement with Rolls-Royce is necessary for the use of locally manufactured tooling.

Part 1 and Part 3 of this instruction require that no coolant is permitted to ingress into the masked areas of the assembly. The vendor is to use an applicable method to confirm that there is no ingress of coolant. The recommended method is to apply litmus paper to the inside of the masked areas of the assembly.

With the agreement of Rolls-Royce, it is acceptable to change the build order of the masking to apply shrink wrap before the polymer moulding tools and to apply additional OMat 2/247 polyethylene tape or equivalent to get an improved seal, if necessary.
