Eng Oil system Flashcards
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
The Eng Oil System Is….
“A self-contained, pressurized, recirculating dry-sump system.”
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
Components of the Oil System:
- Oil tank
- Oil supply and scavenge system
- Oil filter and condition monitoring system
- Air/oil cooler (Scroll Vanes)
- Fuel/oil cooler
- Chip detector
- Px and Temp indicators.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
How does the oil flow?
Picked up by suction created from the pressure element of the pump. Once pressurized, it flows through the filter and into the AGB and six sump bearings.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
How many oil jets are in each bearing? And what do they do?
There are two oil jets per bearing and they provide each main bearing with oil for lubrication and cooling. This redundancy provides for a brief period of operation following a malfunction or damage that totally interrupts the normal supply of oil.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
What is the temp for the impending bypass PDI?
It has a thermal lockout below 38* to prevent the indicator from popping during cold weather ops.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
3 ways to anti ice the engine
- Vent Bleed air into the eng swirl vanes and Eng Inlet Guide Vanes by the eng anti-ice/start bleed valve
- Vent bleed air into the airframe eng inlet by eng inlet anti-ice valve
- Continuously pump eng oil thru the scroll vanes
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
When does the Anti Ice valve remain open?
below approx 90% Ng to prevent compressor instability during starts.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
What can cause engine flameouts?
The hangup of the engine Variable Geometry system at the anti-ice start bleed valve at low collective settings.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
What will the HMU do when the collective is full down?
Schedule max fuel flow to the VG actuator creating a diversion from the scheduled fuel flow to the eng to prevent a temporary hangup position.
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
Indications of a Malfx anti-ice/start bleed valve:
- Illum of ENG Anti Ice on with Ng>90 or >94 Ng if OAT is 15* or higher
- No Illum of On advisory when Ng drops below ~88%Ng (may vary on a sliding scale)
- No illum of On advisory light when Anti Ice switch is selected on
- No rise in TGT when switch is selected on (With Anti Ice on, torque is reduced up to 18%)
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
The inlet anti ice valve is….
“a solenoid activated, modulating valve located in the engine inlet cowling”
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
The bellows operate:
- <4, the valve is open and the INLET On advisories appear when Inlet temp reaches 93
- Between 4* and 13* the valve is controlled by a temperature-compensating Freon-Filled bellows. The bellows begin closing the valve when OAT reaches 4* and should be completely closed by 13*
- Above 13, the valve is closed and the advisories will extinguish when inlet cowling temperature drops below 93
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
Warning about Inlet Anti ice and temp >13
Illum of advisory when OAT> 13 is an indication of a faulty engine inlet anti-ice modulating valve. The resultant of loss of power could be a max of 49% torque

What is the primary means of cooling hot Eng Oil
Engine Scroll Vanes
NATOPS Chap 2
Engine Oil System
TGT Sensing
The TGT signal is biased -71*C by the DECU then relayed to the TGT Vertical instruments from the DECU
