ACTIVE CLEARANCE CONTROL AND TRANSIENT
BLEED
There are three systems independently controlled by the ECU and actuated
from the HMU, which give to the engine clearance adjustment and
transient bleed.
The clearance between the blade tips and the casings is actively controlled
in order to optimize engine performance using cooling air to shrink the
LP and HP turbine casings.
HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE ACTIVE CLEARANCE
CONTROL
The High Pressure Turbine Active Clearance Control (HPTACC)
system uses stage 4 and stage 9 HPC air to heat or cool the High
Pressure Turbine (HPT) shroud support structure.
The ECU monitors the shroud support structure temperature using
the T case sensor.
LOW PRESSURE ACTIVE CLEARANCE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The Low Pressure Turbine Active Clearance Control (LPTACC)
system uses fan air for external case cooling of the Low Pressure

Turbine (LPT).
SYSTEM TRANSIENT BLEED VALVE SYSTEM
The Transient Bleed Valve (TBV) improves the compressor stall
margin during transient and start conditions. The TBV unloads the
HPC by discharging stage 9 HPC air in the LPT cavity.
