406610-9005 HARTZELL O/H TURBOCHARGER

Overview

The 406610-9005 (OEM Part Number: C295001-0101) Aircraft Turbocharger is used on several Cessna aircraft applications. Maintenance on an Aircraft Turbocharger is critical to obtain a long and hassle free service life. An Aircraft Turbocharger must regularly withstand extreme operating conditions – with exhaust in let temperatures exceeding 1600° F and the turbine wheel rotating at over 90,000 RPM. At all 100 hour inspections the turbine and compression wheel blades must be carefully inspected for any cracks or damage caused by foreign object damage. It is also important to turn the wheels by hand and inspect for any drag or rubbing against the housing. One of the most important processes in the Aircraft Turbocharger is the lubrication system, which is provided by the aircraft engine oil. Oil contamination, foreign object damage, and oil supply problems are the most frequent reasons for premature Aircraft Turbocharger failure and can lead to overheating of the bearings and the center housing.
