What is the HP flat rating?
1200
Engine inlet
Air air comes in
Mesh screen to reduce FOD
Most air is used for cooling
What is the air taken into to engine used for?
25% combustion
65% cool combustion chamber
10% secondary air system
What parts make up the cool section of the engine?
4-stage axial compressor
1 centrifugal compressor
What helps drive the accessory gear box?
The rotational energy from the compressor
What is the secondary air system?
Air taken from compressor section and used for other things
Where is P2.5 air taken from?
Between the axial compressor and the centrifugal compressor
Where is P3 air taken from?
After the centrifugal compressor
What is secondary air used for?
Environment control system
Pneumatic de-icing boots
FCU
Fuel purge valve
What is the power section?
Hot section
Produce and extract the energy from the hot expanding gases driving the compressor turbine, compressor, and AGB accessories
Drives turbines and propeller to propel aircraft
What is the reduction gear box?
Reduces the power turbine speed to a subtle speed for turbine operation
Converts high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque
Planetary gear arrangement
What is the rpm stepped down from in the rejection gear box?
30,000 to 1700 rpm
How is speed and torque transmitted to the RGB?
Through the turbine shaft
What is the compressor turbine?
Extracts energy from the hot gases to the compressor rotor unit
Max rpm of aprox 39,000 rpm at aprox 104%Ng
How many fuel nozzles are there?
14
Where does the fuel get out into the engine?
Into the combustion chamber
What do the igniters do?
Provide spark to initiate and maintain combustion
What is included with the igniters?
Exciter box
Ignition cables
Spark igniters (4 and 9 o clock)
How does the ignition usually come on?
Automatically
When should the ignition be turned on?
Heavy precipitation
Strong turbulence
What happens in the combustion chamber?
Compressed air and fuel are ignited and burned
Air not used creates a cushion of air around flame
Too much and the flame will go out
Too little air and the flame will expand and create fire
FCU makes the ratio
What is the bleed air valve?
Prevent compressor stall at low Ng
Bleeds excess air to prevent reverse flow at low power settings
What is the accessory gear box?
Mounted to rear of the engine
Contains low and high fuel pump, FCU, Fuel/air heat exchanger, oil pumps, generators, starter
What kind of oil system do we have?
Pressure oil system
What type of oil do we use?
BP 2380 oil
How many scavenge pumps are in the oil system?
4
2 in AGB
2 at rear of AGB
Where is the oil cooler?
Under engine air inlet 2 cooler doors One controlled by a thermocouple Second controlled by nose landing gear Gear down, door open
How does the oil/fuel heater work?
Warm ok passes through exchanger to gear up fuel
Amount of oil depends on temp of fuel
No pilot interaction
Provides consistent temp of fuel to FCU for fuel metering
Will you get a low oil quantity CAS with anyone running?
No
When should oil be checked?
Within 10 min of the engine shutdown
How many engine oil pumps are there?
1 being forward to engine
What is the chip detector?
2 chip detectors for ferrous material
Where are the two chip detectors?
Reduction gear box
Accessory gear box
When will the the CAS message occur from the chip detectors?
When the gap between poles fills and the circuit closes
How does the torque system work?
Engine oil pressure, goes into a metering office, and then there’s a spring measuring this, through an electric torque signal
What two gases are in the fire detection system?
Helium and hydrogen internal core
How does the fire detection system work?
If tube is heated over a temp threshold, pressure increases and activates the fire pressure switch
What has will get heated up if it’s the general area?
Helium
What gas will be heated up if a local area is heated up?
Hydrogen
What is the minimum operating temperature of the fire detection system?
-55C
What should be done with the ACS when fire is detected?
Shut off
What are the three primary engine controls?
Power control lever (PCL) Condition lever (Idle Ng) Manual override (MOR)
What does the manual override lever do?
Used in emergencies
Uncommanded Ng rollback of the engine
PCL stuck at idle power
Mannual controls fuel flow
Can MOR be used in reverse mode?
No
What does the power control lever?
Controls Ng in both forward and reverse
What is Ng?
Compressor speed
What is reverse called?
Beta mode
What is the condition lever used for?
Cut off engine, and choose flight and ground idle
