Engines and Related Systems Flashcards
How many sections is the engine divided into?
4
Hot
Cold
Accessory
Power Turbine
What is included in the cold section?
Inlet particle separator, the compressor, the output shaft and line replaceable units
How many stages does the compressor have?
6, 5 axial and 1 centrifugal
How many subassemblies are there in the hot section?
3
Gas generator turbine
Stage 1 nozzle assembly
Combustion liner
What sections does the power turbine have?
Two stage power turbine, exhaust frame, shaft and C sump assembly
What does the accessory section include?
accessory gear box, HMU, engine driven boost pump, oil filter, oil cooler, oil pressure sensor, fuel pressure sensor
What makes up the engine fuel system supply?
boost pump, fuel filter, fuel filter bypass, fuel pressure sensor, ODV
What are the two mechanical inputs from the cockpit to the HMU?
Load demand spindle and Power available spindle
What does the load demand spindle do?
Provides mechanical input from the collective output to the HMU to reduce transient engine and NR droop.
What does the sheer pin/roll pin in the LDS provide?
It prevents flight control jam in the event of a load demand malfunction. The pin will sheer causing the LDS to the HMU to drive fully aft and produce the most demand, may present as a torque split
What operates the Power Available Spindle in the HUM?
The engine power control levers
What does the ODV do?
Sends fuel to the fuel manifold for starting, acceleration, and engine operations.
It purges fuel
It will shut of fuel flow to prevent engine overspeed and hot starts
What does the engine alternator supply?
AC power to the ignition excited, DEC/EDECU, NG signal to the cockpit
What do the two bleed airports provide?
Cabin heating and air for crossbleed starts
What do the 2 sensors on the exhaust frame provide?
Power turbine governor and tachometer signal to DEC/EDEC
