Q

System indicators

A
Three hydraulic systems, A, B and standby. The standby system is used if A, and or B pressure is lost. Hydraulic systems power the following aircraft systems.
Flight controls
Leading edge flaps and slats
Trailing edge flaps
Landing gear
Wheel brakes
Nose wheel steering 
Thrust Reversers 
Autopilots

A or B can power all flight controls with no decrease in aircraft controllability
Reservoir for each system in main wheel area, pressurized by bleed air.
Standby reservoir connected to B reservoir for pressurization and servicing.
Pressurization ensures positive fluid flow to all hydraulic pumps.

Hydraulic Power Distribution

A
A
Ailerons
Rudder
Elevator and elevator feel
Flight spoilers (two on each wing)
Ground spoilers
Alternate Brakes
No 1 thrust reverser
Autopilot A
Normal nose wheel steering
Landing gear
PTU power transfer unit. 
B
Ailerons
Rudder
Elevator and elevator feel
Flight Spoilers (two on each wing)
Leading edge flaps and slats
Normal Brakes 
No 2 Thrust reverser
Autopilot B
Alternate nose wheel steering
Landing gear transfer unit
Auto slats
Yaw Damper
Trailing edge flaps. 

A and B have engine driven pump and AC electric motor driven pump. A pump powered by NO 1 engine. B pump powered by NO 2 engine. Engine driven pump provides 6 times fluid volume of the electric motor driven pump.

Engine 1 Sys A or Engine 2 sys B ON/OFF switch controls the engine driven pump output pressure.
OFF - isolates fluid flow from components.
Pulling engine fire switch shuts off flow to engine driven pump and deactivates related low pressure light.

Elec 2 sys A or Elec 1 sys B ON/OFF switch controls the related electric motor driven pump. If overheat is detected overheat light illuminates, power is removed from the pump. And the - low pressure light illuminates. The related OVERHEAT illuminates.

Loss of engine driven pump and a high demand on the system may result in intermittent illumination of the low pressure light for the remaining electric motor driven pump.
Flight control low pressure light, master caution light and the flight cont and hg system annunciation light also illuminate.

Below 1,675 electric motor driven pump EMDP Overheat light may illuminate.

Pressure switches and signals to illuminate the related low pressure light if pump output pressure is low. Check valve in the output line isolates the related pump from the system. The related system send the combined pressure of the engine driven and electric motor driven pump to the related hydraulic stem pressure indication.

A leak
Standpipe in the reservoir prevents total loss of system fluid. 20% of full and A is maintained by electric motor driven pump.
If leak in lines servicing electric motor all system pressure is lost

B leak
Fluid in standpipe is sufficient for power transfer unit operation.

Leak in B does not affect operation of standby hydraulic system.

Q

Power Transfer Unit

A

Purpose to supply addition volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate auto slats and leading edge flaps and slates at the normal rate when system B engine driven pump volume is inoperative.

PTU uses A pressure to power hydraulic motor-driven pump, which pressurizes B hydraulic fluid. PTU operates automatically when all of the following conditions exist.
B engine driven pump hydraulic pressure drops below limits
Airborne
Flaps less than 15 but not up.
737-800
Flaps not up

17
Q

Landing Gear Transfer Unit

A

Purpose is to supply volume of hydraulic fluid needed to raise landing gear at normal rate when A engine driven pump volume is lost. B supplies the fluid needed to operate landing gear transfer unit.

Airborne
No 1 engine RPM drops below a limit value
Landing gear level is positioned up
Either main landing gear is not up and locked

18
Q

Standby hydraulic system

A

Backup if A and / or B pressure is lost.
Can be activated manually or automatically and uses a single electric motor driven pump to power.

Thrust reversers
rudder
Leading edge flaps and slats
Standby yaw damper

Manual operation
Position either Flt control switch to STBY RUD:
Activates standby electric motor driven pump
Shuts off related hydraulic system pressure to ailerons, elevators, and rudder by closing flight control shutoff valve
Opens standby rudder shutoff valve
Deactivates the related flight control low pressure light when the standby rudder shutoff valve opens
Illuminates the STBY RUD ON master caution and flight controls (FLT CONT) lights.
Alternate Flaps master to ARM refer to ch9 flight controls
Activates the standby electric motor driven pump
closes the trailing edge flap bypass valve
Arms the alternate flaps position switch.
Allows the standby system to power the leading edge flaps and slats and thrust reversers.

19
Q

Standby Hydraulic System (Automatic Operation)

A

Initiated when
Loss of System A or B and
Flaps extended, and
Airborne, or wheel speed greater than 60 kts, and
Flight CONTROL switch A or B hydraulic systems ON

OR

Main PCU force Flight Monitor (FFM) trips
Automatic operation:
Activates the the standby electric motor driven pump.
Opens the standby rudder shutoff valve
Allows the standby system to power the rudder and thrust reversers.
Illuminates the STBY RUD ON Master Caution and Flight Controls (FLT CONT) lights.

20
Q

Standby Hydraulic system Leak

A

Standby hydraulic reservoir quantity reduces to zero. Low quantity light illuminates when half empty. B operates normally but is at 70% full.

Variations in hydraulic quantity indications
System becomes pressurized after engine start .
Raising or lowering landing gear or leading edge devices
Cold soaking occurs during long periods of cruise.
Foaming might occur at higher altitudes, blinking low pressure lights. Master Caution and Hyd annunciator lights may illuminate momentarily.
