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
