Power Plants Flashcards
C2A Power Plant type
Two Allison T56-A-425
Power section
Compressor - Combustion - Turbine
Torquemeter
Connect the power section to the RGB.
*Provides a means to measure shaft horsepower.
R.G.B
Reduction gear box
Coverts high speed (13,820) low torque to low speed (1106) high torque prop output.
RGB contains?
G enerator H ydraulic O il pumps S tarter T ach generator
Where is the Accessories drive housing located?
On the bottom of the Compressor section
Major assemblies of Accessories drive housing
Fuel control
Speed sense control
Speed sense valve
Engine control
Power levers
Condition levers
Coordinator
Safety device (RGB)
Negative torque signal (NTS)
Safety coupling
NTS - Negative torque signal
Prevent excessive prop drag if the engine is not developing sufficient power.
Safety coupling
Auto disengages the RGB from the power section if negative torque reach 1450 shaft horsepower (SHP).
Prop brake
Released by starter - above 22% RGB oil pressure.
Applied - rpm less than 20%
Locked - when prop attempts to turn backwards
Auto feathers (Auto FX)
Auto feather armed
Power lever above 75 degrees
Prop thrust below 500 lbs
LSGI
Low speed ground idle
LSGI operational characteristic
Reduce engine RPM to 70%
Active between 7-24 degree PLA
The switch located above master caution panel.
During LGSI, engine air is available for ECS and hyd reservoir press 14sec after engine accelerate past?
61 +/- 2%
What is Alpha ana Beta range?
Alpha - flight 100% Speed
Beta - ground ops / taxi
Major functional prop component?
Spinner Prop hub Counterweight blades Pump housing assembly (PCA) Pitch change actuator (EPC) Digital electronic prop control (IOC) Integrated oil control (AVM) Actuator valve module (EVH) Electronic valve housing
Prop control?
Non rotating assembly mounted on the aft extension of prop hub.
Prop control contains?
Oil reservoir
Pumps
Valves
Control devices with hyd power
Spinner
Fiberglass assembly, provide air flow around the prop, ram air to cool prop oil control. Electric heating to provide anti ice when selected.
Prop blades consist of
Fiberglass shell
Graphite spar
Nickel sheath (prevent erosion)
Rubber heating pads (anti ice)
Prop pitch?
Determined by power lever position, maintain the prop and engine at a constant speed.
Prop pitch ops
Can only occur at blade angels of 63 to 19 degrees
Prevent decrease of blade angel
Engine instruments
Torque indicators TIT indicators Tachometers RGB oil press Power oil press Oil temp
Torque indicators
Receives input from the torque-meter.
Graduated 0-6000 horsepower
TIT indicators
18 thermocouples are used to sense engine tempt in the combustion section in degree centigrade 100 - 1200.
Tachometers
Indicate engine speed RPM % 100-13820. Electrical power
RGB oil press
The outlet of RGB pumps
0-300 psi
Power unit oil
Outlet of each power unit oil filter
0-100 psi
Oil temp
Received from temp bulb in the oil line.
Calibrate -70 to 150 degree
Fuel flow
0-2500 in 50 pounds per hours (PPH).
Fuel quantity
Co pilot side, 0-6500 lbs in 100 lbs increments.
Fire detection system
Both engine have fire detection circuits, monitor & indicate fire conditions.
If the warning light do not illuminate when tested, a failure of the detection system is indicated.
Fire extinguish system
Pulling the T-handle expose the fire button.
Pushing the switch detonates the 6.5 lbs of bromotrifluoromethane container. 350-750 psi
