The high-pressure stage (Power2 HP) is a turbomachine, and its main components are a tur-
bine and a compressor. These components are installed on a common shaft and form the ro-
tor
(see Fig. 2: Layout of the high-pressure stage
In the high-pressure stage (Power2 HP) shown in the sectional view
high-pressure stage
→8), the exhaust gas flows through the turbine casing (14) and the
nozzle ring (11) and reaches the turbine (08). The HP turbine uses the energy contained in the
exhaust gas to drive the rotor. The exhaust gases then flow through the gas outlet flange
(10), the gas outlet casing (09) and the exhaust gas pipe connected to it before they reach
the turbine of the low-pressure stage (Power2 LP).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (07), which are located in the bearing casing (06)
between the compressor and turbine. The axial thrust bearing (05) is located between the
two radial plain bearings. The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct
which is normally supplied by the lubricating oil circuit of the engine. The oil outlet lies at the
deepest point of the bearing casing.
The HP compressor wheel (16) connected to the shaft sucks in the precompressed air or an
air/gas mixture from the low-pressure stage (25) through the air suction branch (01). The air
is compressed further in the HP compressor (21) and the downstream diffuser (04) and sub-
sequently supplied to the charge air cooler via the compressor casing (03).
