Q

Basic Operation

A
  • Maintain Constant Np/Nr
  • Interaction of DECU and HMU
  • HMU provides Gas Generator control while DECU trims HMU down to meet demands of Np, ultimately reducing pilot workload

Q

Inputs to HMU (5)

A
  • Collective via LDS
  • PCL via PAS
  • Variable Stator Vanes and AI/SB valve positioning is controlled in response to T2, P3, and Ng

1) Fuel Shutoff
2) Automatic Acceleration to Ground Idle
3) Set up to Max permissible Ng
4) Fuel Priming
5) DECU Lockout

Q

HMU Operation

A
  • Basic Gas-Gen power control with no input from Torque Motor Servo
  • Fuel Enters through Pump, routed to metering valve
  • LVDT provides feedback to DECU to prevent hunting

Q

ODV Fuctions (4)

A

1) Provide fuel to 12 injectors
2) Returns fuel to HMU if Np overspeed
3) Purges fuel downstream to prevent injector coking
4) Traps fuel upstream to prevent priming

17
Q

Harness Colors

A 
Yellow- Power and control system signals
Blue- Np, Np overspeed, and Torque signals 
Green- Engine Diagnostics
White- Engine Cross Talk
Red- EDECU
18
Q

DECU Functions (15)

A

1) Np Governing
2) Np Overspeed Protection (120%)
3) Np Overspeed Test (re-base to 96%)
4) Ng Decay Relight Feature (Disabled below 62% NG)

5) TGT Limiting (Limiter at 839% +- 10%)
6) Auto Ignition (On for 5 seconds after Np Overspeed or Np Overspeed Test)
7) Contingency Power (Limiter at 891% +- 10%)
8) Hot Start Prevention (Stops fuel if 900 C prior to Ng 60% and Np 50%. Restored once TGT Decreases Below 300 C or 25 seconds)
9) DECU Lockout (Manual control of Fuel, lose Load Sharing, Np Governing, and TGT Limiting. Retain Np Overspeed Protection)
10) Engine Load Sharing (Increases power of lower Torque)
11) Fault Diagnostics (Other engine Off, 400 HZ power, Np < 35%, Ng <20%)
12) Engine Speed Trim (96-101)
13) Cockpit Signals (Np, TGT, TQ)
14) Transient Droop Improvement (Increases Fuel flow through TDI sensor at low Torque settings when collective demand is increases rapidly)
15) 400 HZ Back Up Airframe Power (Receives airframe electrical power if alternator Fails)

19
Q

EDECU Functions (3)

A

1) Manual C-Power (891% +-903%)
2) Auto C-Power (If <50% on other Engine)
3) TGT (866 +-10%)

20
Q

Oil System Pumps

A

1 Pressure, 6 Scavenge Lines

21
Q

Oil Flow

A

Tank, AGB Pump, Filer/Bypass, Pressure Sensor, Temp Sensor, Cold Oil Relief, Sumps, Scavenge lines, Oil Cooler or Oil Cooler Bypass or Scroll, Tank

22
Q

3 ways to anti-ice Engine

A

1) Vent bleed air into swirl vanes via AI/SB valve
2) Vent bleed air into inlet via AI/SB valve
3) Pump Oil through Scroll Vanes

23
Q

4 Indications of Malfunctioning Engine Anti-Ice/Start Bleed Valve

A

1) ENG ANTI ICE ON Appears >90% Ng
2) ENG ANTI ICE ON Disappears <88% Ng
3) No ENG ANTI ICE ON with switch ON
4) No rise in TGT with ENG ANTI ICE ON

  • Possible diversion of Fuel in the case of VG Vane hangup may cause flame-out*
  • Up to 18% TQ lost with ENG ANTI ICE ON*
24
Q

Inlet Anti-Ice Valve

A
  • Freon Filled Bellows
  • Heats air to 94 deg F
  • Fully Open 13 def F
  • Inlet Anti Ice Switch must be ON to work*
  • DC power removed = full open*
  • Up to 49% TQ Lost*
