Hydraulics Flashcards
How many hydraulic systems does the ERJ175 have?
3 independent systems
fluid cannot be transferred from one system to another
Type of hydraulic fluid and pressure?
Skydrol Hydraulic fluid; 3000 psi
What do the three hydraulic systems provide pressure for?
6 items
Flight Controls Spoilers Thrust Reversers Landing Gear Nose Wheel Steering Wheel Brakes
What items does Hydraulic System 1 provide pressure to?
7 Items
-Elevator {Left hand outboard actuator) -Rudder (Upper Actuator) -Thrust Reverser (Engine 1) -Multifunction spoilers (left and right panels 3 & 4) -Ground spoilers (Left and right panels 2) -Outboard Brakes -Emergency parking brake
Hydraulic System 1 is comprised of?
4 items
1 Engine driven pump (EDP 1)
1 A/C motor pump (ACMP 1)
1 Reservoir
1 Accumulator
What is the primary power source for hydraulic system 1?
Engine driven pump 1 (EDP 1)
It is connected to the engine 1 accessory gearbox
Normal operation requires no pilot action
What serves as a backup for the Engine Driven Pump 1 (EDP 1)? And how is it powered?
The ACMP 1, and it is electrically powered by AC BUS 2
What is the normal position for the ACMP 1 knob
- ON
- AUTO
- OFF
Auto
On the ground ACMP 1 will turn on as a back up for EDP 1 if?
Flap position is greater than 0 AND
- Thrust levers set to Takeoff Thrust, OR
- Ground speed greater than 50kts
In flight the ACMP 1 will turn on for 2 reasons?
- EDP 1 or Engine 1 failure
- Flaps selected to any position greater than 0
What items does Hydraulic system 2 provide pressure for?
9 items
-Elevator (Left and right hand inboard actuator) -Ailerons (Left and right hand inboard actuator) -Thrust Reverser (Engine 2) -Multifunction Spoilers (Left and right panel 5) -Ground Spoilers (Left and right panel 1) -Nose wheel steering -Inboard Brakes -Landing Gear (Retraction and extension) -Emergency Parking Brake
Hydraulic system 2 is comprised of?
1 Engine driven pump (EDP 2) 1 A/C motor pump (ACMP 2) 1 Reservoir 1 Accumulator 1 Power Transfer Unit (PTU)
What is the primary power source for hydraulic system 2?
Engine driven pump 2 (EDP 2)
It is connected to the engine 2 accessory gearbox
Normal operation requires no pilot action
What serves as a backup for the Engine Driven Pump 2 (EDP 2)? And how is it powered?
The ACMP 2, and it is electrically powered by AC BUS 1
What is the normal position for the ACMP 2 knob
- ON
- AUTO
- OFF
Auto
On the ground ACMP 2 will turn on as a back up for EDP 2 if?
Flap position is greater than 0 AND
- Thrust levers set to Takeoff Thrust, OR
- Ground speed greater than 50k
- *ALSO**
- If engine 1 is running and the parking brake is released
- During Engine 1 start (once N2 reaches 40%) if the parking brake has been applied within the last 6 minutes. (it turns off after 6 minutes have elapsed)
In flight the ACMP 2 will turn on for 2 reasons?
- EDP 2 or Engine 2 failure
- Flaps selected to any position greater than 0
What is the purpose of the PTU?
To assist with landing gear retraction or extension should a right engine or right EDP failure occur
What pilot action is required to activate the PTU?
None:
During takeoff and landing, with the selector knob in the Auto position the hydraulic system logic activates the PTU if engine 2 or the EDP 2 fails
