D. | Concurrent Requirements |
None. |
E. | Reason |
(1) | Objective: |
To introduce new parts and improve cooling of the high pressure compressor (HPC) case. |
(2) | Condition: |
The air flow path from the core compartment cooling (CCC) manifold is directed into the core compartment by the current hardware. |
(3) | Cause: |
The current active clearance control (ACC) valve and fuel tube support brackets block the free flow of air from the CCC manifold into the core compartment, directing it toward the HPC case. |
(4) | Improvement: |
The new brackets shield the HPC case from the CCC air. |
(5) | Substantiation: |
Substantiation is by analysis. |
F. | Approval |
This Service Bulletin has been reviewed by the FAA and the repair(s) and modification(s) herein comply with the applicable Federal Aviation Regulations and are FAA APPROVED for installation in the model(s) listed in this Service Bulletin. |
