Q

How does localized temperature trigger the fire response system?

A

As average or localized temperature increases, the helium in the sensor tube heats up and increases in pressure. Once this pressure surpasses the preset pressure limits in the responder, a signal triggers the overheat/fire alarm.

Q

How does average temperature trigger the fire warning system?

A

As the average or local temeprature increases, the hydrogen in the core element increases, releasing hydrogen gas into the sensor tube. This hydrogen gas causes the helium gas pressure to increase. Once the pressure in the sensor tube surpasses the preset pressure limits for the responder, it signals the overheat/fire alarm.

Q

What are the system operation principles for the AEDD?

A

Unlike the PEDD, the AEDD’s information (except torque) is not processed by the PMU. The AEDD provides each cockpit with a backup visual indication of engine operations.
