Turbofan Parts Donor 3

A description of how we got to the turbine blades from the CF6 airliner engine, and removed them so they could be used in the LM2500 industrial powerplant based on that same engine.

Very nice Story - Little sad the shaft - saw - part, but very impressive, how long - durable theese High - pressure - Turbine - blades are.

One Question: must it be feeded by liquid Kerosene (the usual Jet - fuel A) while compressing and moving natural gas in a Pipeline, or could it also use this same natural gas, which is moved by the engine?

@Pyanities These industrial enginesthat pump natural gas in a pipeline do use the gas from the pipeline for their fuel.

Im so bummed the CF6 had to die ;_;

[AgentJayZ]

@alexl162 It gets to live. Instead of being scrapped and melted down, some of its parts will be turning, burning fuel, making power. The parts used will have a useful service life of ten times what they ever saw in an aircraft engine.

Your channel always amazes me!! Love the vids and keep up the good work.

Thumbs up if you looked up "skookum."

sometimes I want to change my career from IT to being a turbine mechanic... great videos, very interesting, thank you!

The CF6-6 was used to power the DC10, the Airbus A300, and as it was developed into the CF6-50 and -80, it was used to power some 747s.

The LM2500 was originally designed to make 25,000Hp. It has also been developed over time, and the last one we put together was rated at 34,800Hp..

@AgentJayZ 5 stars, thx for information, The engine is big, similar to an 747 or air bus engine size?LM2500 How many hp is this engine ? Regards

I think i stick to my turbocharger jet

6:11 30000 ft lb = 40674 Nm (felt like pointing out the conversion)

@deSloleye cooling air must flow, so it needs to be of a greater pressure than where it's going. The stg 1 HP turbine nozzles are almost at the highest air pressure in the engine, so the only source of air is from the point of highest pressure, immediately aft of the last stg of compression. This is called Compressor Discharge Pressure air, or CDP for short.

At full power, this air can be 600 degrees F, but is still "cooling" to nozzles subjected to 1500 or so degree gas flow.
