Hydraulic system provides power for
NWS
Landing gear
Brakes
Speedbrake
Flaps
Ail servo control
Initial charge of accumulator
59 bar (860psi)
Emergency hydraulic provides power for
Emergency gear extension only
Emergency braking
The Separation Valve is set at a pressure of
108bar
Main hydraulic system components
Reservoir 16,25lt
Accumulator
Engine-driven pump (variable flow)
2 filters
Relief valve
Zero setting selector valve
Emergency hydraulic system components
Separation valve
Emergency accumulator
Zero setting selector valve
How many pressure transducers in the hydraulic system
2, one for the main and one for the emergency
Signals received from hydraulic pressure transducers are sent to
EDAB for showing on the MFD
HYD PRSS comes on when?
In case of low hydraulic pressure in the Emergency System (70bar)
What does happen to hydraulic system when the aircraft becomes airborne?
The solenoid valve closes isolating the 2 systems
What can you expect from hydraulic indications when performing a steep climb?
A pressure drop in the Emergency System because of Nitrogen pressure decreasing because of cooling of the accumulator
What element is used to guarantee pressure from the hydraulic accumulator?
Nitrogen (N)
The solenoid separation valve is operated by
A solenoid that is energized while on the ground (open) from a switch on the left landing gear struct
After an Emergency Gear Extension, when the A/C is back on the ground, what does happen to the hydraulic system?
The isolating valve opens if in the main system there is at least a pressure of 108bar, allowing to all the fluid stored in the accumulator to be directed towards the emergency system for application of emergency braking by using the handle.
