Utility hydraulics Flashcards
- What is the purpose of the utility hydraulic system?
primarily used for ground operations
- What are the sub-systems that are operated by the utility hydraulic system?
Power xfer unit, APU start system, ENG start system, Cargo ramp, power steering, swivel locks, wheel brakes, center cargo hook, cargo winch/rescue hoist
(1) Hydraulic service module.
near ramp on #2 side. used to refill hydraulic system.
(2) Utility Reservoir/Cooler assembly.
aft pylon hydraulic compartment, cools hydraulic fluid
(3) Utility Reservoir Pressurization Accumulator. (Pre-flt pressure 2500-3500 or 3000 psi)
maintains pressure on utility reservoir/cooler assembly next to utility reservoir
(4) Utility System Hand pump.
next to ramp #2 side, used to re-pressurize start accumulator
(5) Electric Pump for the Utility System Hydraulic Accumulator (EPUSHA).
next to system hand pump, electrically recharges start accumulator
(6) APU Start Accumulator. (Pre-flt pressure 2500-3500 or 3000 psi)
2 side above ramp, used to hold hydraulic pressure to start APU
(7) Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Motor/Pump.
On the APU to start turbine and above 90% work as a pump to create pressure
(8) APU Start Module. (Pre-flt pressure 2500-3500 or 3000 psi)
2 side above ramp, Stops the start accumulator from discharging
(9) Utility Hydraulic Aft Transmission Driven Pump.
located of aft transmission, main pump to provide pressure to hydraulic system
(10) Flight Hydraulic Power Transfer Unit (PTU).
located in forward and aft pylon, provide pressure for flight control hydraulic system.
(11) Auxiliary Ground Power Unit (AGPU).
not on the aircraft, provides pressure and electricity as needed
(12) Utility Hydraulic Pressure Control Module.
on #1 side above ramp, controls where hydraulic pressure is sent and filters fluid also monitors pressure
(13) Utility Hydraulic Return control module.
2 side above ram, filters return fluid and gathers fluid from systems
