1.1 General
The electric motors (4, Fig. 1) operate the auxiliary blowers (3), which are installed on
the scavenge air receiver (2). The auxiliary blowers supply air from the air space
through the suction casing into the receiver space during the start and operation at
low load. Air flaps prevent the back-flow of air into the receiver (see 6420−1
Scavenge Air Cooler).
