11 -- PP oo ww ee rr PP ll aa nn tt Nacelle
OverviewThe nacelle or cowling consists of the following components:
Air intake cowls Fan cowl doors Thrust reverser cowl doors Core cowl doors Exhaust nozzle
In this lesson, you will learn about thelocation, identification, and purpose ofthe nacelle, and the components of thenacelle.
The nacelle is located under the wing of the aircraft, and is hinged
to the pylon. The nacelle is divided into different components that
are listed below.
1. The air intake cowls are at the front of the nacelle, forward of thefan cowl doors.
2. The fan cowl doors are installed aft of the air intake cowls.3. The thrust reverser cowl doors are installed aft of the fan cowl
doors.4. The core cowl doors are installed aft of the thrust reverser cowl
doors.5. The exhaust nozzle is installed aft of the core cowl doors.
Nacelle purpose
The nacelle provides smooth airflow in and around the engine. In addition,
the nacelle provides access to the engine LRUs and cools the engine core.
The nacelle also protects the engine components and isolates the engine
from the airframe in case of an engine fire. Finally, the nacelle provides

openings for the engine drains and contains some of the thrust reverser
components.
The air intake cowls
Location: The air intake cowls are at the front of the nacelle, forward of the
fan cowl doors.
Identification: The air intake cowls
are attached to the forward flange of
the engine fan case. The cowls
comprise the inlet lip and the forward
and aft bulkheads. The inlet lip forms a
smooth, cylindrical opening and is
lined with special material that reduces
the noise of air suction. The inlet lip also contains the anti-ice assembly.
Purpose:
Provides the engine fan with smooth airflow Directs the remaining airflow over the engine nacelle Prevents ice formation around the inlet lip Helps to reduce the noise of air suction
The fan cowl doors
Location: The fan cowl doors are installed
aft of the air intake cowls.
Identification: The two fan cowl doors are
hinged to the pylon. They are latched at
the bottom centerline with three pressure
relief latches that can be opened for accessing the engine components.

Purpose: The fan cowl doors provide a smooth, aerodynamic surface for
unhindered airflow around the nacelle. They also provide access to various
engine components.
The thrust reverser cowl doors
Location: The thrust reverser cowl doors are installed aft of the fan cowl
doors.
Identification: The two thrust reverser cowl doors are hinged to the
pylon at the top and are latched together at the bottom split line. The
doors are designed to move along the pylon tracks. The thrust reverser
cowl doors also house the components of the thrust reverser system.
Purpose: The thrust reverser cowl
doors form part of the thrust
reverser system. When the thrust
reverser is in the stowed position,
the two thrust reverser cowl doors
provide a smooth, aerodynamic
surface for clean airflow around
the engine. However, when the thrust reverser is deployed, the doors
move aft along the pylon tracks thus providing space for the blocked
airflow to escape. The doors can be opened to provide access to the
engine and the thrust reverser components. A pressure relief door at the
6 o’clock position opens if the differential pressure between the nacelle
air and the ambient air becomes greater than 3.5 psid.

The core cowl doors
Location: The core cowl doors are
installed aft of the thrust reverser
cowl doors.
Identification: There are two core
cowl doors, both of which are hinged to
the pylon.
Purpose: In the closed position, the core cowl doors provide a smooth
aerodynamic surface over the aft end of the engine core. In the open
position, the doors provide access to the engine components.
The exhaust nozzle
Location: The exhaust nozzle is installed aft of the core cowl doors.
Identification: The exhaust nozzle is a convergent-divergent type of
nozzle and consists of an exhaust sleeve and an exhaust plug.
Purpose:
Directs the engine exhaust gasesoverboard, thus providing the enginewith nearly 20 % of the thrust.
The exhaust sleeve releases lowpressure recoup air and the drainedfluids and vapors from the B and Csumps into the primary airflow stream.
The exhaust plug vents the air/oilmixture from the sumps into theprimary airflow stream.

Engine Build Unit (EBU)ObjectivesGiven an objective exercise, you will be able to:
Identify the location of the components of the engine build unit(EBU)
Identify the components of the engine build unit (EBU) Identify the purpose of the components of the engine build unit
(EBU)
OverviewThe engine build unit (EBU) consists of the following systems andcomponents:
Engine fire detection system Engine bleed-air supply system Hydraulic pumps Integrated drive generator (IDG) Engine air intake ice protection
In this lesson, you will learn about the location, identification, and purposeof the systems, and components of the EBU.
Location Left Side ViewThe CF6-80E1 engine build unit (EBU) consists of systems and components
that are listed below.
The engine fire detection system is installed around the outer
surfaces of the AGB and the upper and lower turbine areas in the core
module.
The hydraulic pumps are installed on the forward side of the AGB.
The integrated drive generator (IDG) is installed on the aft side of
the AGB.
The engine air intake ice protection system consists of components
that are installed near the 11th compressor stage and in the lip
assembly of the air intake cowls.

Engine Fire Detection SystemLocation: The engine fire detection system is installed around the outer
surfaces of the AGB and the upper and lower turbine areas in the core
module.
Identification: The engine fire detection system has two continuous loops
connected in parallel. Each loop has three fire detector assemblies and
the necessary wiring. The fire detector assembly consists of a sensor and
a responder.
Purpose: The engine fire detection system helps to detect and
transmit information about an engine fire to the flight deck.
Engine Bleed-Air Supply System
Location: The engine bleed-air supply system components are installed in
the nacelle and pylon of each engine.
Identification: The engine supply system consists
of the following components:
Ducts Intermediate pressure check (IPC) valve High pressure valve (HPV) Pressure regulating valve (PRV)
Purpose: The engine bleed-air supply system routes
the air through a series of ducts for use by other
aircraft systems. The ducting also allows bleed air
from one engine to be routed to the other engine
to aid in ground or air starting.

Hydraulic PumpsLocation: The hydraulic pumps are installed
on the forward side of the AGB.
Identification: Each hydraulic pump is an
engine-driven, variable displacement type unit.
Purpose: The hydraulic pump supplies
hydraulic pressure to operate the different
hydraulic systems of the aircraft.
Integrated Drive GeneratorLocation: The integrated drive generator (IDG)
is installed on the aft side of the AGB.
Identification: The IDG has a constant speed
drive (CSD) and an AC generator installed side by
side in a single housing. The generator is a three-
phase and brushless rotating rectifier unit that is spray-oil cooled.

Engine Air Intake Ice ProtectionLocation: The engine air intake ice protection system
consists of components that are installed near the 11th
HPC stage and in the lip assembly of the air intake cowls.
Identification: The system consists of an anti-ice duct
that gets bleed air from stage 11 of the HPC through the
anti-ice valve.
Purpose: The system sends hot air to the air intake
cowls to prevent ice buildup on the lip assembly.
