Abstract:
A method for balancing a compressor rotor assembly including a forward weldment (211) and an aft weldment (212) includes pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) of the compressor rotor assembly (210) with compressor disks (220) prior to populating the compressor disks (220) with circumferentially installed compressor rotor blades (230). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) includes measuring a rotational balance of the aft weldment (212). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) also includes determining a number of underplatform weights (260) needed and a location for each underplatform weight (260) within a circumferential slot (236) of one the compressor disks (220). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) further includes mounting each underplatform weight (260) in the determined location.
