Engine Flashcards
3 major assemblies
Power section
Propeller gearbox
Torquemeter
Unique features
2 FADEC
GMAD
NIU
Primary purpose of Propeller gearbox
Transmit shaft power from torquemeter to propeller, reduce shaft rpm, provide power to GMAD
GMAD provides drive pads for
GOOPH
G: AC Generator
O: Oil pressure pump
O: overspeed governor
P: PCU
H: Hydraulic pump
Torquemeter primary function
Transmit engine output to PGB and supply reference to the FADECS
Power unit accessory drive (PUAD)
FASSFA
F: FPMU
A: Alternator Stator
S: Starter
S: scavenge pump
F: FCOC
A: Accessory drive sump
FCOC
Fuel cooled oil cooler
Controlling FADEC is determined by:
- Engine start with WOW, selection automatically alternates
- Serious FADEC fault automatic shifts to alternate FADEC
- ALT selection on control panel
NG
Gas generator speed
NP
Power turbine speed
MGT
Measured gas temperature
Engine PMA provides electrical power for the FADEC after engine speed reaches:
40%
Propeller speed governing is accomplished by:
Varying blade angle or engine fuel flow
Nacelle interface unit (NIU)
- Provides 1553 & RS422 communications
- Provides indications of oil temp, px & quantity, oil cooler flap position and fuel flow
- Controls oil cooler flap and engine/nacelle anti-ice valves
4.provides engine health & usage monitoring
A ___ gallon oil tank located in each ____
20
Nacelle
The 20 gallon oil tank has ___ oil capacity with the remaining being air
12 gallon
0.66 gallon dedicated reservoir for
Auxiliary feather pump oil supply
Oil is gravity fed from tank, through a shutoff valve to:
GMAD/PGB pump & Engine power section pump
Oil cooler augmentation supplements normal oil cooling during:
And uses:
Exceeded ground operations
14 stage bleed air when the per levers are below flight idle
Oil cooler augmentation is operating when:
1.Oil cooler flap position is greater than 80%
2. Oil temp is above 80 C
3. Airspeed less than 50 knots
4. Pwr levers less than flight idle
5. Weight on wheels
ACAWS alerts If oil cooler augmentation system fails on
Caution!
Damage to the oil cooler flap occurs unless the crew opens the cooler flap full open
Starting system consists of
Air turbine starter and starter regulating and shutoff valve
Engines started using a combination of
Electrical power and low pressure bleed air
Min bleed air pressure for start
22 PSI
