CF34-10E Service Bulletin No 72-0008 R04
Revised: 11/19/2014 Issued: 01/12/2006
SB 72-0008 R04 ENGINE - General (72-00-00) - Introduction of Improved Low
Pressure Turbine and High Pressure Turbine Hardware for Specific Fuel Consumption
Improvement
B. Concurrent Requirements
Do CF34-10E S/B 72-0007 when you do this Service Bulletin.
C. Description
(1) This Service Bulletin introduces improved low pressure
turbine (LPT) and high pressure turbine (HPT) hardware as
follows:
(a) The LPT hardware changes are as follows:
1 Decrease the LPT case forward flange outer diameter
and tolerance.
2 Addition of 2 mil height bumpers on the forward and
aft end of the outer diameter for the No. 5 roller
bearing outer race at the oil damper.
3 LPT stage 1 through stage 3 blade geometry and LPT
stage 2 and stage 3 disk geometry changes.
4 Introduce a new pressure balance seal rear support.
5 Reduce the size of the orifice for 4 LPT cooling
tubes.
(b) The HPT hardware changes are as follows:
1 The new HPT outer stationary seal PN 2070M56G03 has
fewer bypass holes than the old HPT outer stationary
seal PN 2070M56G02 configuration, thus reducing
flow.
2 The new HPT inner stationary seal PN 2070M46G03 has
1/32-inch cell honeycomb instead of 1/16-inch cell
honeycomb and the cold build clearance is reduced by
0.0015 inch (0.04 mm) radially.
3 The new HPT stage 1 shroud consists of a new
material N2. In addition to the material change,
multiple geometry changes have been introduced on
the new shroud, shroud hanger, and spline seals to
reduce leakage through the system.
D. Compliance
Category 7
GE recommends that you do this Service Bulletin at
customer's convenience.
E. Reason
(1) Objective:
(a) To introduce improved LPT and HPT hardware for specific
fuel consumption (SFC) improvements as follows:
1 The LPT case forward flange outer diameter and
tolerance has been decreased to minimize HPT rotor
to stator eccentricity. A misalignment of the LP and
