Got to replace a face type carbon seal on a turboshaft engine compressor yesterday
Figures:
650 shaft horse power from 110 kilos engine
63000 rpm
Turbine temp at operation 650 degrees Celsius
Turbine temp at startup goes from ambient to 730 degrees C in 5 seconds!!
Burns 300 lbs of jet fuel per hour.
Test flight tomorrow
