POWER PLANT - INTRODUCTION

General
Two CFM56-7B engines supply thrust for the airplane. The engines also supply power
for these systems:

Electric
Hydraulic
Pneumatic.
The CFM56-7B is a high bypass ratio, dual rotor, turbo fan engine.

Power Plant

The power plant has these parts:

Engine mounts
Engine cowling
Wire harnesses
Engine vents and drains.

General

General engine data for the CFM56-7B engine is shown.

These items show on the engine nameplate:

Regulatory agency data

Engine manufacture data

Engine performance data.

The regulatory agency data blocks used depend upon where the engine was
assembled. For engines assembled by G.E. the two upper right blocks will be used.
For engines assembled by SNECMA, the two upper left blocks will be used. The serial
number will be filled every time.

The first line of seven blocks will be filled at the assemble plant. The version of the
engine will be in the CONFIG space. The second and third blocks show takeoff and
Max continuous thrust in Metric (daN) thrust ratings. The fourth and fifth blocks show
takeoff thrust and the Max continuous thrust in pounds (LB). Block six shows the N1
trim applied to that engine. The last block is for service bulletins applied to this

engine.

The lower three blocks show the manufacturer data. The second block shows the
manufacturer of the engine. For engines assemble by General Electric, the block
shows G.E. CO. Engines assembled by SNECMA, the block shows SNECMA.

Six additional rows are available to show changes to the engine. This permits six
different thrust rating changes before you must replace the nameplate. The
nameplate also shows the thrust rating history of the engine.

The engine nameplate is on the right fan case aft of the oil tank.

Engine Thrust Ratings and Aircraft Model Application

A limited number of the six engine thrust rating configurations are applicable to a
737 model. The different engine thrust ratings are based upon airplane weight and
elevator/rudder control limits. The longer-body 737-800 and 737-900 models can
operate at the maximum thrust capability of the CFM56-7B engine. Also, the lowest
thrust rating is not sufficient for the 737-700, 737-800, 737-900. The table below
shows the relationship of the engine thrust ratings to the aircraft model.

Aircraft Models

The normal models are 737-600, 700, 800, and 900. Some other variations can be
737-700 IGW (increased gross weight), and 737-700 BBJ (Boeing business jet).

POWER PLANT - ENGINE HAZARDS

General

It is dangerous to work around engines. Use the entry/exit corridor when the
engine is in operation. Also, stay out of the inlet and exhaust areas when the engine
is in operation.

CAUTION: PERFORM FOD WALK IN FRONT OF AND AROUND ENGINE INGESTION

AREA PRIOR TO ENGINE START.

These are the hazards around an engine in operation:

Inlet suction
Exhaust heat
Exhaust velocity
Engine noise.

Inlet Suction
Engine inlet suction can pull people and large objects into the engine. At idle power,
the inlet hazard area is a 10 ft (3.1 m) radius around the inlet.

6
 WARNING: IF THE WIND IS OVER 25 KNOTS, INCREASE THE INLET HAZARD AREA BY
20 PERCENT.

Exhaust Heat
The engine exhaust is very hot for long distances behind the engine. This can cause
damage to personnel and equipment.

Exhaust Velocity
Exhaust velocity is very high for long distances behind the engine. This can cause
damage to personnel and equipment.

Engine Noise
Engine noise can cause temporary and permanent loss of hearing. You must wear ear
protection when near an engine in operation.

Engine Entry/Exit Corridor

Engine entry corridors are between the inlet hazard areas and the exhaust hazard
areas. You should go near an engine in operation only when:

Engine is at idle

You can speak with people in the flight compartment.

For additional safety, wear a safety harness when the engine is in operation.

Training Information Point

The beacon light must be on while the engines are on.

General

There is a forward and aft engine mount. Each engine mount attaches the engine to
the strut. The forward engine mount attaches to the fan frame. The aft engine mount
attaches to the turbine frame.

POWER PLANT - ELECTRICAL HARNESSES
General
The engine electrical harnesses connect at the fan cowl support beam.

The electrical harnesses that connect on the right side of the fan cowl support
beam come from these components:

> Electronic engine control

>N1 speed sensor
>Oil tank (oil quantity transmitter)
>Inlet cowl thermal anti-ice valve
>Ignition exciters
>Fan frame compressor case vibration (FFCCV) sensor
>Bleed air regulator
>Ground wing thermal anti-ice solenoid valve
>Overheat/fire detector loop A and B.

The electrical harnesses that connect on the left side of the fan cowl support
beam come from these components:

>Start valve
>N2 speed sensor

20
>Integrated drive generator (IDG)
>Hydraulic system engine-driven pump
>Hydromechanical unit (HMU).

POWER PLANT - ENGINE DRAINS

General

Engine drains prevent fluid contact with hot engine areas. You use engine drains to
detect component failures. Engine drains direct these items overboard:

Oil
Fuel
Hydraulic fluid
Water
Vapor.

These components drain fluids through the starter air discharge duct in the right
fan cowl:

Strut
Main oil/fuel heat exchanger
Hydromechanical unit (HMU)
RYR ALL PRE SB CFM56-7B 73-44
Burner staging valve (BSV)
RYR ALL

24
 High pressure turbine active clearance control (HPTACC) valve
Low pressure turbine active clearance control (LPTACC) valve
Left and right variable stator vane (VSV) actuators
Left and right variable bleed valve (VBV) actuators
Transient bleed valve (TBV).

Fluids drain through a hole in the left fan cowl panel from these components:

Fuel pump
Integrated drive generator (IDG)
Hydraulic pump.
The oil tank drains fluid through a hole in the right fan cowl panel.

See the AMM for more information about allowable leakage limits. (AMM PART II

General

The engine cowling gives an aerodynamically smooth surface into and over the
engine. It also gives a protective area for engine components and accessories.

These are the parts of the engine cowling:

Inlet cowl
Fan cowl
Thrust reverser.

See the exhaust chapter for more information on the thrust reverser. (CHAPTER 78)

Inlet Cowl

The inlet cowl sends air into the engine. The inlet cowl attaches to the engine.
The T12 access/pressure relief door is on the inlet cowl. The T12 access/pressure
relief door permits access to the T12 sensor. It is also a pressure relief door.

Fan Cowls

The fan cowls give an aerodynamically smooth surface over the fan case. The fan
cowls attach to the fan cowl support beam. The fan cowls open for maintenance.

27
 These items are on the fan cowls:

IDG access door - permits access to the IDG for servicing. It is on the left fan cowl
panel.
Chip detector/pressure relief door - permits access to the chip detectors. It also is a
pressure relief door. It is on the left fan cowl.
Vortex control device - smooth's airflow around the wing. It is on the inboard fan
cowl.
Oil tank access door - permits access to the oil tank for servicing. It is on the right
fan cowl.
The T12 access/pressure relief door permits access to the T12 sensor. It is also a
pressure relief door. It is on the right fan cowl.

General

There are two fan cowls for each engine. Each fan cowl attaches to the strut with
three hinges.
The fan cowls are made of aluminium. The left fan cowl weighs 80 lbs (36 kg). The
right fan cowl weighs 96 lbs (44 kgs).
Each fan cowl has two fan cowl hold open rods.
Fan Cowl Latches
Three fan cowl latches secure the left and right fan cowls together. All latches are
along the bottom of the fan cowls.

Fan Cowl Hold Open Rods

One end of each hold open rod attaches to the fan cowl. When the cowl is closed,
the other end attaches to a receiver on the fan cowl. When the cowl is open, the
other end attaches to a receiver on the engine. Each hold open rod is telescopic.

Each hold open rod has a collar that locks the hold open rod in place. A yellow lock
indication shows when the hold open rod is in the locked position.

Fan Cowl Hinges

Each fan cowl hinge has these components:
Fan cowl clevis

31
 Quick release pin
Strut lug.

Each fan cowl clevis is on the fan cowl. All strut lugs are on the strut. The quick
release pins make it easy to remove a fan cowl
