18
Q

Np Governing

A

Np sensor located on the left side of the power turbine and provides signal to the EDECU. Actual compared to reference

19
Q

Np Over speed Protection

A

Actuated at 120% - ODV diverts fuel to the inlet of the HMU, causing flame out

20
Q

TGT Limiting

A

When TGT approaches 878 ( 866 +/- 10)(MRP), EDECU prevents further fuel flow increase. If more is demanded Np/Nr will droop.

21
Q

Engine Load Sharing

A

Torque matching system operates by increasing the lower engine torque while not directly effecting the higher engine

22
Q

Engine Speed Trim

A

INCR / DECR switch controls both engine Np at the same time. Provides EDECU with reference Np between 96 -101

23
Q

Manual C-PWR

A

TGT limit increased to 903 limit (891 +/- 10) (CRP Cont. Range Power)

With the switch flipped you will get #1/#2 C-PWR on advisory

24
Q

Auto C-PWR

A

TGT limit increased to 903 limit (891 +/- 10) (CRP Cont. Range Power)

Enabled in OEI conditions

When the torque from one engine is below 50% the opposite engine EDECU will automatically reset the TGT limiter

No advisory

25
Q

Np Over Speed Test

A

A & B buttons simultaneously resets Np overspeed limit to 96%.

If Ng decreases when either button is depressed individually, the opposite button is faulty.

25
Q

Dual Engine Auto C-PWR

A

TGT limit increased to 903 limit (891 +/- 10) (CRP Cont. Range Power)

One or more of the following must exist:
1. Np drops below 96%
2. Greater than 3% droop between ref. Np and actual Np
3. Greater than 5% per second Np droop rate exists with Np less than or equal to Np ref.

No advisory

26
Q

EDECU LOCKOUT

A

PCL can manually control Ng and Np.

Engine power set by LDS and PAS only

Deactivating TGT limiting, Np Governing and load sharing.

The Np over speed protection is retained

27
Q

Cockpit signals

A

Provides Np, TGT and Torq signals to the DTC for cockpit display

28
Q

Hot Start Prevention

A

Detects a hot start when TGT exceeds 900 with Ng below 60% and Np below 50% and automatically secures fuel flow by tripping ODV.

Restored when TGT below 300 or after 25 seconds

Can be disabled buy pressing and holding OVERSPEED TEST A or B button for duration of start sequence.

29
Q

TDI

A

Designed to initiate power turbine acceleration early by using anticipator from the TDI Nr sensor located in the LEFT ACCESSORY MODULE and a collective positioning sensor in the mixing unit.

30
Q

Auto-Ignition

A

When Np overspeed condition exists (or during overspeed test) the ignition sequence is automatically initiated for 5 seconds to relight the engine.

31
Q

Ng Decay Relight feature

A

If an engine flames our for any reason and exceeds a specified Ng decel rate, the auto ignition system will turn the igniters on for 5 seconds to attempt to relight the engine.

Disabled below 62% Ng

32
Q

Fault Diagnostics

A

Fault codes are displayed numerically on the ENG torq indicator with a brief description in text below the vids

4 seconds on 2 seconds off

can be suppressed and recalled with ENG OVSP test buttons

33
Q

3 Ways to ANTI ICE Engine

A
  1. Vent bleed air into the engine swirl vanes and inlet guide vanes
  2. Vent bleed air into the airframe engine inlet by the engine anti ice valve.
  3. Continuously pump engine oil through the scroll vanes
34
Q

Malfunctioning Engine Anti-Ice

A
  1. Appearance or disappearance of the ENG ANTI-ICE on advisory when outside the specified range
  2. No appearance of ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory with switch selected on
  3. No rise in TGT when ENG ANTI ICE switch selected on
35
Q

Eng Anti-Ice/Start Bleed Valve

A

5th stage bleed air for anti ice and to prevent compressor instability during starts.

Open below 80.5% Ng
Closes above 96.5% Ng unless selected on or electrical power is lost

36
Q

ENG Inlet Anti-Ice

A
  1. Less than 4C the valve is open and advisory appears when temp reaches 93C
  2. Between 4C and 13C the valve is controlled by Freon-filled bellows. They begin closing at 4C and should be completely closed at 13C
  3. Above 13C the valve is closed and the advisories will extinguish when inlet cowling temp is below 93C

Appearance of INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory when oat is above 13*C is and indication of a malfunctioning valve.

37
Q

TGT Sensing

A

The thermocouple harness consists of SEVEN thermocouples for measuring TGT.

Joined in parallel and provide an average.

Biased -71*C

Without ENG OVSP CB the bias will be absent.
