Power turbine

This part deals with the parameters and the adaptation of the
gas generator and power turbine.

The power turbine operation is defined by the balance between


the power received from the gas generator and the torque
applied on the shaft, that is the torque TRQ and the rotation
speed N2.

Component adaptation
For the engine operation, two functional assemblies can be
considered:
- The gas generator which provides kinetic energy
- The power turbine which transforms the gas energy into
mechanical power on a shaft.
The two assemblies have different rotation speeds.

- The torque TRQ is a function of the N2 rotation speed

- At constant N2 speed, the power is only a function of the


torque

The gas generator operation is defined by:


- The air mass flow G (air flow which enters the engine)
- The air pressure P3 and air temperature T3 at the centrifugal
compressor outlet
- The fuel flow WF injected into the combustion chamber

- The rotation speed N1 of the gas generator

The operation is represented by the diagram which shows the


power W, the rotation speeds N1 and N2 and the max. torque
limit TRQ imposed by the mechanical transmission:

- The power W is equal to the torque TRQ multiplied by the


angular velocity

Gas generator

- The gas temperature TET at the turbine entry

Operation

- The engine parameters can be represented as a function of


a reference parameter; N1 for example.

Control
The operation of the engine is controlled and monitored by an
Engine Electronic Control Unit.

- The kinetic energy Ec supplied to the power turbine.

Installation requirements

Power transmission in a single engine


configuration

The main functional requirements of the installation are:

The mechanical power supplied by the engine, is used to drive


the helicopter rotors through a mechanical transmission.
This power drives:
- The main rotor (approx. 82%)

- Constant rotor rotation speed NR in all operating


conditions
- Max. torque limit TRQ (usually imposed by the aircraft
transmission)
- Complete engine protection (N1 and N2 speeds, TET,
acceleration control N1/t).

- The tail rotor (approx. 10%)


- The main gearbox (approx. 8%).

Adaptation to requirements

In a single engine configuration, the engine is installed at the


rear of the main gearbox.

To obtain a constant power turbine (N2) rotation speed, the


power supplied by the engine is automatically adapted to the
demand. This adaptation is carried out the control system which
meters the fuel flow injected into the combustion chamber so as
to deliver the required power (variation of the gas generator N1
rotation speed) while keeping the engine within its operational
limits.

The power turbine of the engine is mechanically connected to


the main gearbox which drives the main rotor.
A drive from the rear of the engine drives the tail rotor drive
shaft.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
The engine ratings correspond to given conditions of helicopter
operation. The ratings are generally defined under determined
speed and atmosphere conditions (altitude and temperature).
The following ratings are considered:

Note: 2D: The engine's TBO potential is not penalized.


However, when the max. damage is reached, a deep
maintenance (3rd level) procedure must be performed
on module M03 to replace the gas generator turbine
blades.

- Max. Take-Off Power (MTOP): max. rating which can be


used during take-off. This rating has a limited duration (5min.
continuous)
- Max. Continuous Power: rating which can be used without time
limitation (this does not imply that it is used permanently)
- 2D: Max. Take-Off Power 30 min. (MTOP 30 min.):
As soon as T4.5 > 600K (330C) and N1 > 40%, the
creep-damage counter is incremented continuously in
proportion to the T4.5 and the N1. This incrementing is
not linked to an engine rating or a time value.
The counter value is indicated in the VEMD "FLIGHT
REPORT" screen when the engine stopped.

MAINTENANCE
Counting of hours and cycles
A cycle is a clearly defined operating sequence.

TBOs
TBOs (Times Between Overhauls) are defined for the engine,
the modules and some accessories. These TBOs, determined
by tests and experience, are subject to an extension programme.
The TBO is expressed in flight hours.

Life limits
Certain components (mainly rotating parts such as compressor,
turbines, injection wheel) have a life limit which requires the
part to be scrapped when the limit is reached.
The life limit is expressed in operating cycles (C1 or C2
cycles).

Calendar limits
The calendar limit is the time (expressed in years) after which the
complete engine, module or part subjected to calendar limit has
to be returned to the factory or an approved repair center.
The count starts at the engine first installation in the aircraft
(since new, overhaul or repair).

Cycles and hours are counted either manually or automatically.


The methods for counting hours and cycles and the various
limits are described in Chapter5 of the Maintenance Manual.
A counting check (comparison between automatic counting
and manual counting) is a procedure planned in the periodic
maintenance.
A simple check can be carried out by comparing the two engine
readings for a given period of operation.
2D: A creep-damage counter monitors the damage to the
gas generator turbine blades (expressed as a damage
percentage). This counter is subject to an evolution program.

On-condition
Some components have no TBO, no life limit and no calendar
limit. They are generally considered to be "on-condition"
components.

Use-limited parts
These parts have a maximum usage defined in hours; this
includes parts such as bearings, casings and shafts. Their limits
are greater than the normal TBO of the engine, thus permitting
them to be used over two or more TBOs, which reduces engine
overhaul costs for the customer.
These parts and their corresponding limits are listed in the
engine log book.

MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is a schedule of planned maintenance
actions aimed at the prevention of failures.
It includes two inspection types.

Examples of considered means


- Borescopic inspection: this permits inspection of internal
parts which are not accessible without disassembly
- Lubrication oil check: various methods are used to check
for the contamination of the oil (magnetic plugs, strainers
sampling). Samples of oil are taken at regular intervals and
the samples are analysed to measure the contamination
and anticipate incipient failures (analysis by magnetoscopy,
ferrography, spectrometric oil analysis)

Servicing inspections
- Inspection before the first flight of the day
- Inspection between two flights
- Inspection after 15 flight hours or 7 days.

- Vibration level check: the vibration level of the rotating


assemblies gives an indication of the engine condition

Periodic inspections

- Power check: it is ensured by the pilot (refer to "Flight


Manual")

- These procedures can be "blocked" (at fixed intervals for all


the procedures) or staggered (each procedure is distributed
over a period of time to reduce the turnaround time while still
respecting the intervals)

- Visual inspection: conventional visual inspections are also


considered for on-condition monitoring.

- Visits are scheduled as a function of flight hours (e.g.: every


500 hours) or calendar (e.g.: 2 years)

The objective is to put the engine back into normal service


as soon as possible. Corrective maintenance includes
all procedures which must be carried out when required
(failures, anomalies, etc ).

- Special inspections:
Particular inspections
Inspections according to airworthiness.

MAINTENANCE
PRESERVATION AND STORAGE

LUBRICANTS / FUELS / MATERIALS

Type of storage

The engine manufacturer recommends the use of synthetic oils


which keep their lubricating properties over a wide temperature
range and have a longer operating life.
The maintenance manual (chapter 71) contains specification
tables and precautions.
We shall remind you here that the mixture of oils of different
types or brands is not recommended. Therefore the system
should be flushed when the oil specification is changed.

Fuels

The maintenance manual (chapter 71) contains tables indicating


the fuel types with the corresponding US, UK, NATO and French
specifications.
Two types of fuel can be considered:
- The "normal fuels" which can be used without restriction in
all the operating envelope
- The alternative fuels (or replacement fuels) which may be
used, but with particular restrictions (additives...) and for a
limited time in order not to affect the engine TBO.

Materials

Various products are used for engine maintenance.


For example graphite grease, molybdenum disulphide for the
installation of parts, cleaning and inhibiting products.
The various products must be used carefully, for instance use
of trichlorethylene on titanium alloy parts is forbidden.

For training purposes only

Engine uninstalled
Refer to maintenance manual for preservation and storage
procedures and periodicity.
"Short term" storage
Procedure which protects the engine for a duration of less than
three months.
"Long term" storage
Procedure which protects the engine for a duration of more
than three months. The max. duration of storage varies with
the type of container used (wooden or metal container). With
wooden container, the max. duration of storage also varies with
the type of cover used.

Engine installed in the aircraft


- For a duration of less than 6 months, 2 types of storage
can be considered : "operational" (with 5 min. ground run)
and "not operational" (with dry crank).
- For a duration of more than 6 months, remove the engine
and do the long term storage procedure.

Storage inspection
Once the engine has been put into storage, it must be periodically
checked to ensure that it is in good condition. In the event of
an anomaly, the preservation and storage procedures must
be renewed.

MAINTENANCE
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) requires that
states establish a safety programme to achieve an acceptable
level of safety in aviation operations. Therefore states shall
require that individual operators, maintenance organisations,
ATS providers and certified aerodrome operators implement a
Safety Management System (SMS) accepted by the state.
ICAO provides a Safety Management Manual (SMM) which
explains in detail the implementation of an SMS in 19
chapters.

Environment - The situation in which the SHELL system must


function, the social and economic climate as
well as the natural environment
Liveware - The human beings' engineers, technicians, aircrew,
managers and administration personnel
The edges of the blocks are not simple and straight because each
component has to be adapted to the others. When considering
HF, all the interfaces have to be taken into account:
- Liveware - Software

HUMAN FACTORS

- Liveware - Hardware

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requires that


aviation maintenance personnel receive training on Human
Factors (HF).

- Liveware - Environment

They must have an initial HF training followed by regular


refresher training.

The EASA part 145 recommends 1 to 3 days initial training on


HF depending on the persons concerned and further training
every 2 years.

Below is a precise of the ICAO SHELL model which is a


conceptual model proposed in ICAO circular 216-AN31. It
represents the different components of human factors and is
only intended as a basic aid to understanding HF:

- Liveware - Liveware

Software - The rules, procedures, written documents, etc.,


which are part of standard procedures
Hardware - Tools, equipment, workshop, hangar

The air leaves the tips of the blades at very high velocity and
then flows through the 1st stage diffuser vanes where the
velocity is transformed into pressure.
The air then passes through an elbow and the flow becomes
axial. In the 2nd stage diffuser, the velocity is again transformed
into pressure. The air is then admitted into the combustion
chamber.

TRANSMISSION SHAFT AND ACCESSORY


GEARBOX
The operation is considered during engine starting and in
normal running.

Operation during engine starting

Note: In the event of autorotation, the free wheel unit


disengages the power shaft.

During starting, the starter motor drives the accessory gearbox


and thus the gas generator rotating assembly.
The compressor supplies air to the combustion chamber and
the starting sequence continues.

Operation in normal running


2B-2B1: at self-sustaining speed or 2D: at the end of the
starting sequence, the electrical supply to the starter motor is
automatically cut. The starter motor is then mechanically driven
by the engine and operates as a generator to provide DC current
to the aircraft electrical system.
The gas generator drives the accessory gear train through
the bevel gear located between the axial compressor and the
centrifugal compressor.
The following accessories are driven:
- Starter-generator
- Fuel pumps
- Oil pumps
- Alternator / phonic wheel.

Expansion

Compression

During this phase the pressure and temperature of the gas


drop, whilst the velocity increases.

The ambient air is compressed by an axial supercharging


compressor and a centrifugal compressor.

The gas expands in the gas generator turbine which extracts the
energy required to drive the compressors and accessories

This phase is essentially characterised by the air flow (2B2B1: approx. 2.5 kg/s; 5.5 lb/sec.; 2D: approx. 2.71 kg/s;
5.9lb/sec.) the temperature increase and the compression ratio
(2B-2B1: approx. 8.2; 2D: approx. 8.5).

There is a further expansion in the power turbine which extracts


most of the remaining energy to drive the output shaft

Combustion
The compressed air is admitted into the combustion chamber,
mixed with the fuel and burnt in a continuous process.

After the power turbine the gas is discharged overboard via the
exhaust pipe, giving a slight residual thrust.

Power transmission
The power is transmitted forward by a reduction gearbox and
an external shaft.

The air is divided into two flows:


- A primary flow for combustion
- A secondary flow for cooling the gas.
This phase is essentially characterised by the temperature rise
(flame temperature approx. 2500C; 4532F) and a pressure
drop of about 4%.

OIL FILTER AND HEAT EXCHANGER

Description

Operation

The main components of the filtering unit are the following:

Normal operation (filtering)

- Filter body
- Filter cover (screwed onto the filter body)

The oil supplied by the pressure pump passes through the


filter from outside to inside. The filtered oil then passes to the
engine for lubrication.

flow around the oil filter casing

The oil is also used to heat the fuel through the heat exchanger
as the fuel flows around the oil filter.

- Fibreglass cartridge (filtering element)

Pre-blockage

- Spring

If the filter begins to become blocked the pressure difference


across the filter increases. At a given pressure difference, a
red mechanical indicator pops out. The oil continues to flow
through the filter.

- By-pass valve (fitted inside the filter body)


- Pre-blockage indicator.

Blockage

The filter base incorporates:


- Mounting points for the following:
Low oil pressure switch
Oil pressure transmitter
Oil outlet unions (compressor bearing lubrication and rear
bearing lubrication)
Fuel inlet and outlet unions.

If the pressure difference exceeds a given value, the by-pass


valve opens and unfiltered oil passes to the system.

O'ring seals ensure the oil filter sealing.

Copyright - Turbomeca Training

Pre-blockage
If the filter begins to become blocked the pressure difference
across the filter increases. The two oil pressure transmitters
provide the EECU with pressure information. If the pressure
difference between the two measurements is higher than a given
value, the EECU detects oil filter pre-blockage. This detection
depends on N1 speed and temperature. The oil continues to
flow through the filter.
Note: The oil filter pre-blockage indication is not given in
flight. It is displayed on the VEMD "FAILURE" page
(maintenance mode) when the engine is shut-down.

Blockage
If the pressure difference between both sides of the filter cartridge
exceeds a given value, the by-pass valve opens and unfiltered
oil passes to the system.

ELECTRICAL MAGNETIC PLUG

The electrical magnetic plug provides a cockpit indication of


magnetic particles in the oil system.

Position

The plug is fitted into a housing which is provided with a strainer


and a self-sealing housing. A bayonet type locking pin system
ensures the locking of the electrical magnetic plug.
The housings are bolted onto the oil valve assembly, where the
scavenge oil can flow around the magnetic probe.

Operation

- In the system: downstream of the scavenge pumps

The magnetic probe attracts magnetic particles present in the


oil.

- On the engine: mounted on the oil valve assembly.

If it attracts sufficient particles to form a bridge across the gap,


this will complete the electrical circuit between the two magnetic
parts and thus provide a cockpit indication.

Main characteristics
- Type:
Magnetic with electrical indication
Self-sealing housing with strainer

Note : The oil system also has two mechanical magnetic plugs,
one located on the lower part of the accessory gearbox
and one on the lower part of the reduction gearbox.

- Cockpit indication.

Description
The electrical magnetic plug comprises a magnetic probe which
has two parts which are electrically insulated from one another
and have a small insulation between them.
The plug is connected, via the engine electrical harness, to the
aircraft instrument panel.

CENTRIFUGAL BREATHER

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Operation

The centrifugal breather separates the oil from the air/oil mist
created by the oil system.

The centrifugal breather is driven by the intermediate gear of


the accessory drive.

Position

When the engine is running the air/oil mist passes through the
breather:

- In the system: before the general vent line of the system


- On the engine: it is formed by the starter/generator drive gear
in the accessory gearbox.

Main characteristics
- Type: centrifugal
- Air vent: through the rear part of the gear hollow shaft,
connected to the exhaust.

- Centrifugal force throws the oil droplets out into the gearbox
where they fall to the bottom of the casing
- The de-oiled air passes out through the shaft, via a gearbox
passage, into an external pipe which discharges into the
exhaust.
2D: The general air vent is directly done into the exhaust.

Description
The centrifugal breather is formed by the starter-generator drive
gear. This gear is formed in one piece with a hollow shaft and
has holes which provide a passage between the gearbox and
the air vent.
The gear is supported by two ball bearings and has a magnetic
carbon seal at each end.
The breather air outlet is at the rear end of the shaft, where the
air passes into the gearbox outlet.

OIL SYSTEM - OPERATION

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Scavenge

Supply

After lubrication, the oil falls by gravity to the bottom of the


sumps. The oil is then immediately drawn away by the scavenge
pumps and returned to the tank through a check valve and the
oil cooler (dry sump system).

The pressure pump draws the oil from the tank and supplies
the system. A pressure relief valve limits maximum pressure
by returning oil to the pump inlet.
The oil is then delivered to the oil filter and restrictors to the
engine sections which require lubrication:

Breathing

- Gas generator front bearings

The oil mist which results from lubrication is returned to the


accessory gearbox, where the oil is separated from the air by
a centrifugal breather which vents overboard.

- Gas generator rear bearing


- Power turbine bearings
- Reduction gearbox and intermediate gear balance piston
- Accessory gearbox (supply upstream of the calibrated
orifice).
The oil is sprayed by jets onto the parts to be lubricated. It also
supplies a squeeze film for the gas generator rear bearing and
the power turbine front bearing.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The scavenge strainers protect the scavenge pumps against


any particles which may be held in the oil. The magnetic plugs
retain magnetic particles which may be in the oil.

Indicating
The system ensures the following indications: pressure,
temperature, low pressure, magnetic particles and filter preblockage.

Gas generator HP section

Position

Air tapped from the centrifugal compressor wheel outlet passes


down the rear face of the compressor wheel, through the
curvic-couplings, the hollow shaft and internal passages. It is
used to:

The internal air system pressurises the labyrinth seals, cools


certain parts and provides a balancing of forces.

All the parts of the system are internal except the pressurisation
of the power turbine labyrinth which is supplied by an external
pipe.

Main characteristics

- Type: air tapping with a calibrated flow


- Air pressures used:
P2.4: centrifugal compressor inlet pressure
P2.6: centrifugal compressor wheel outlet pressure
P3: centrifugal compressor outlet pressure.
Note: The internal air system is also referred to as the secondary
air system.

Functional description

The internal air system can be considered in three parts: the


front section, the gas generator HP section and the power
turbine section.

Front section
Air tapped from the centrifugal compressor inlet is used to
pressurise the front bearing labyrinths. There is a very small flow
of air into the bearing chamber. Air tapped from the same point
is discharged through the compressor bleed valve, mounted on
the compressor casing (see compressor bleed valve).

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

- Cool the rear face of the gas generator turbine (discharging


into the gas flow)
- Pressurise the labyrinth seal of the gas generator rear bearing
(small flow into the bearing housing)
- Cool the front face of the power turbine (discharge into the
gas flow).
The air from the centrifugal compressor outlet flows through
the hollow nozzle guide vanes and through holes in the shroud.
It is used to cool the nozzle guide vane and the front face of
the gas generator turbine. A small amount of air is also used
to cool the turbine shroud.

Power turbine section


The air is tapped from the front face of the centrifugal compressor
casing (clean air) and is taken by an external pipe to the reduction
gearbox casing. It then passes through internal passages to
pressurise the labyrinth seal on the power turbine shaft and to
cool the rear face of the power turbine.

COMPRESSOR BLEED VALVE


Main components

Function

- Pneumatic control system

The valve prevents compressor surge by bleeding off a certain


quantity of air tapped from the axial compressor outlet. When the
valve is open, the discharge of air causes the air flow through
the axial compressor to increase thus moving the working line
away from the surge line. The operation of this valve depends
on the P3/P0 pressure ratio.

- Butterfly valve

Position

- P3 inlet filter.

- In the system: between the axial and centrifugal


compressors
- On the engine: at the top of the compressor axial.

- Rack and pinion mechanism


- Microswitch (connected to the EECU)
- P2.4 air outlet

Note: The air is discharged under the cowling in order to


improve cooling of the engine compartment.

Main characteristics
- Type: pneumatic, butterfly valve
- Control: by P3/P0 pressure ratio.

COMPRESSOR BLEED VALVE

Operation
Open position

The compressor bleed valve includes 3 main parts: the detection


capsule, the intermediate stage and the bleed valve.

The P3/P0 pressure ratio is not sufficient to activate the capsules


and there is an air discharge downstream of the calibrated
orifices. The piston is not actuated and the butterfly valve is
open.

Detection capsule

A certain amount of air, tapped from the centrifugal compressor


inlet, is discharged overboard.

It is subjected to P3/P0 pressure ratio and controls the air


discharge downstream of the calibrated orifice B.

The microswitch contact is closed and sends an open signal to


the EECU, which outputs a position signal to the cockpit.

It is fitted with a filter at the inlet.

Closed position

Description

Intermediate stage
It includes a diaphragm which is subjected to the pressure
downstream of B. The diaphragm controls the discharge
which determines the pressure downstream of the calibrated
orificeA.

Bleed valve
It includes a spring loaded piston subjected to the pressure
downstream of restrictor A. The piston actuates the butterfly
valve by means of a rack and pinion mechanism.
It also includes a microswitch, operated by the piston, which
sends a position signal to the EECU.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

When the gas generator rotation speed N1 increases, the


compression ratio P3/P0 increases and beyond a certain
value:
- The pressure becomes sufficient to deform the detection
capsule which closes the discharge
- The pressure downstream of the calibrated orifice B
increases
- The diaphragm of the intermediate stage closes the
discharge
- The pressure downstream of the calibrated orifice A
increases
- The piston moves down under P3 pressure and rotates the
butterfly valve through the rack and pinion mechanism. The
valve closes and stops the air bleed.
The microswitch contact, actuated by the piston, opens. This
provides a closed signal to the EECU, which outputs a position
signal to the cockpit.

PUMP AND METERING UNIT ASSEMBLY


The LP pump has an ejector supplied by fuel from the LP pump
outlet.

Function
The pump assembly supplies fuel under determined conditions
of pressure and flow.

Position

The fuel pump drive shaft is a shear shaft.

High pressure pump (HP)

- In the system: before the metering unit


- On the engine: on the right side of the pump and metering
unit assembly.

Main characteristics
- Type:
LP pump: centrifugal type
HP pump: spur gear type with pressure relief valve.

The high pressure pump is a gear type pump. It has a drive


gear (driven at a speed proportional to N1) and a driven gear.
The drive shaft is fitted with a double lip seal and a drain system,
which ensure that no fuel can leak into the accessory gearbox
casing.
The high pressure pump also includes a pressure relief
valve.

Operation

Description
The pump assembly includes an LP pump and an HP pump
fitted with a pressure relief valve.
The two pumps are mounted on a common shaft.

Fuel from the aircraft system enters the LP pump which provides
an initial pressure increase to supply the HP pump. The HP pump
gives a second pressure rise and supplies the metering unit.
The LP pump is capable of drawing fuel from the aircraft tank
and therefore starting pumps are not necessary after starting.

Low pressure pump (LP)


The low pressure pump is a centrifugal pump. It includes an
impeller driven at a speed proportional to N1.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The pump is capable of operating with contaminated fuel so


there is no filter at the inlet.

During normal operation, the HP pump pressure relief valve is


closed. In the event of overpressure, it opens and returns the
excess fuel to the HP pump inlet.

By-pass valve

Function

This valve ensures a fuel flow to the metering unit in the event
of filter blockage. It is subjected on one side to filter upstream
pressure and on the other side to downstream pressure plus
the force of a spring.

The filter retains any particles that may be in the fuel in order
to protect the metering unit components.

Position
- In the system: between the LP and HP pumps
- On the engine: on top of the pump and metering unit
assembly.

Main characteristics

Note: The by-pass valve is fitted inside the pump and metering
unit assembly body.

Normal operation
The fuel provided by the LP fuel pump enters the fuel filter and
flows through the filtering element (from outside to inside).

- Type: fibreglass cartridge


- By-pass valve setting: P 120 kPa (17.4 PSID)

The filtering element retains particles larger than 20 microns.


The fuel then flows to the HP pump.

Description
The assembly comprises the housing, the filtering element, the
by-pass valve, the fuel filter pre-blockage pressure switch and
the fuel filter blockage indicator.

Note: Before entering the fuel filter, the fuel passes through
the fuel/oil heat exchanger formed by the oil filter
housing.

Filtering element
It is a fibreglass cartridge with a filtering ability of 20 microns.
O'ring seals ensure the sealing between the cartridge and the
filter housing.
The filter cover is fitted with a purge outlet union.

Operation

Function

Normal operation

The fuel filter indication is provided by a pre-blockage pressure


switch and a blockage indicator.

The filtering element is clean. The pressure difference on each


side of the filter is lower than the blockage indicator setting: the
indicator doesn't protrude (armed).

Position

Pre-blockage

- In the system: between the fuel inlet and outlet of the fuel
filter
- On the engine: on the pump and metering unit assembly
beside the fuel filter.

Main characteristics
- Pre-blockage pressure switch:
Type: differential
Cockpit indication
- Blockage indicator
Type: differential, magnetic
Indication: red indicator

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

When the filtering unit becomes dirty, the pressure difference


across the filter increases. When the pressure difference exceeds
the fuel filter pressure switch setting the electrical switch closes
and lights the fuel filter pre-blockage indication in the cockpit.

Blockage
When the fuel filter becomes dirty, the pressure difference
increases.
When the pressure difference exceeds the fuel filter blockage
indicator setting, it causes the by-pass valve to open and the
indicator to pop out.
Note: The indicator is reset, after the removal of the cover by
pushing it back into its housing.

Operation

Function

Pre-blockage

The fuel filter indications are provided by two fuel pressure


transmitters and a blockage indicator.

The fuel filter pre-blockage monitoring is performed by two


pressure transmitters which measure the fuel pressure upstream
and downstream the filter. The signals are sent to the EECU
to detect the pressure drop in the filter, and consequently the
pre-blockage level.

Position
- In the system: at the fuel filter inlet and at the fuel filter
outlet
- On the engine: on the pump and metering unit assembly
beside the fuel filter.

Main characteristics
- Fuel pressure transmitter:
Type: resistive
Connected to the EECU
- Fuel pressure and temperature transmitter:
Type: resistive and platinum probe
Connected to the EECU
- Blockage indicator
Type: differential, magnetic
Indication: red indicator

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The EECU monitors two levels of pre-blockage:


- Level 1: Maintenance
- Level 2: Warning.
If the pressure difference reaches the level 1, a fuel filter preblockage indication ("FUEL FILT") will flash when the engine
is set to idle or shut down.
If the pressure difference reaches the level 2, a fixed fuel
filter pre-blockage indication ("FUEL FILT") comes on in flight,
whatever the operating mode of the engine, and when the
engine is shut down.

Blockage
If the pressure difference reaches the threshold of the by-pass
valve, the by-pass valve opens, the fuel is not filtered any more
and by-passes the filter. A red visual indicator pops-up on the
filter housing.

METERING UNIT - AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM


(NORMAL OPERATION) (2B)

The metering needle position is controlled by the stepper


motor.
When the EECU commands a fuel flow increase or decrease
the stepper motor rotates and through the rack and pinion
mechanism, drives the metering needle control lever. The
metering needle has a rack and pinion mechanism which drives
the position transmitter which povides a metering needle position
signal (XMV) to the EECU.
The constant P valve returns the excess fuel to the LP pump
outlet and maintains a constant P across the metering needle.
Thus fuel flow is only a function of metering needle position,
unaffected by change of P.
During shut-down the metering needle is moved to the closed
position by the EECU.
During starting, the metering needle is positioned to permit
engagement of the manual control.

Fuel flow increase demand


The stepper motor is " frozen ". The lower part of the metering
needle control lever is then fixed and acts as a pivot.
When the manual control (twist grip) is moved, the acceleration
controller lever engages on the metering needle control lever.
The metering needle moves according to the manual control
until it reaches the P3 capsule stop.
This provides an instant step of fuel flow increase caused by
the opening of the metering needle.
Should the manual control continue to move, the metering
needle control lever would temporarily declutch.
The metering needle opening is afterwards controlled by the
capsule compression caused by the progressive increase of
the P3 air pressure.

Fuel flow decrease demand


The manual control is moved in the closing direction (minus
range).
The metering needle control lever is pushed by the manual
control.
The metering needle is moved to close until it reaches the low
stop.
In the case of sudden manual control movement to close, the
load limiter reduces the load on the metering unit assembly
internal mechanism.

Manual engine shut-down


The engine can be shut-down by pulling the selector from "OFFIDLE-FLIGHT" to "OFF".

Thus, the fuel flow required is obtained without surge or


exceeding the limits.
The accerelation ends when the P3 capsule reaches its maximum
compression or when the metering needle control lever comes
into contact with the manual control lever (whichever occurs first).

Mixed mode

Forced idle mode

If, during normal operation in automatic mode, the manual


control is moved out of the neutral notch by the pilot:

To permit autorotation training, a microswitch (forced idle) is


operated at the end of movement of the twist grip in the flow
decrease direction. When this switch is made its output to the
EECU causes the software to decelerate the engine to idle
(67% N1). The engine no longer supplies power to the aircraft
transmission and autorotation is possible. Return to normal
flight power is made as soon as the twist grip is moved off the
minimum stop and the microswitch opens.

- The neutral notch microswitch sends a signal to the electronic


control unit
- The electronic control unit outputs an indication to the
cockpit.
The position of the metering needle is still determined by the
electronic control unit.
Movements of the metering needle by the manual control are
immediately compensated by the stepper motor.
Note: In the event that the stepper motor reaches its mechanical
stops, further movement of the manual control would
be excessive and will not be compensated.

Forced idle mode

Normal operation

To permit autorotation training, a microswitch (forced idle) is


operated at the end of movement of the twist grip to the idle
position. When this switch is closed its output to the EECU causes
the software to decelerate the engine to idle (67% N1).

In normal operation, the by-pass valve is closed to by-pass


and fully open to metering needle supply. This is the neutral
position.

The electronic control unit sends a signal to the cockpit.

The metering needle position is controlled by the stepper


motor.

The engine no longer supplies power to the aircraft transmission


and autorotation is possible.

When the EECU commands a fuel flow increase or decrease


the stepper motor rotates and through the rack and pinion
mechanism, drives the metering needle. The metering needle
has a rack and pinion mechanism which drives the position
transmitter which povides a metering needle position signal
(XMV) to the EECU.

Return to normal flight power is made as soon as the twist grip


is moved off the microswitch.

The constant P valve returns the excess fuel to the LP pump


outlet and maintains a constant pressure drop across the
metering needle. Thus fuel flow is only a function of metering
needle position, unaffected by changes of P.
2D: The constant P valve is double.
During shut-down the metering needle is moved to the closed
position by the EECU.
Note: NPS: Neutral position switch

PUMP AND METERING UNIT ASSEMBLY

The automatic back-up control system includes an electrical


control unit (EBCAU) in the aircraft and an electrical actuator
fitted on the pump and metering unit assembly linked to a
metering needle by-pass valve.
In the unlikely event of a total EECU failure, the stepper motor
will be frozen.
The EBCAU will maintain N2 at 100% with the electrical actuator
and the by-pass valve.
If the N2 decreases, it will command the actuator to open the
by-pass thus permitting an increased fuel flow in by-pass of
the metering needle.
If the N2 increases, the control unit will command the actuator
to rotate the by-pass valve in the opposite direction. This will
reduce the flow to the main metering needle without opening
the by-pass.

Note 1: There is a microswitch on the actuator which provides


a neutral position indication to the EECU.
Note 2: The EBCAU (Engine Back-up Control Auxiliary Unit)
and the electrical actuator are supplied by the aircraft
manufacturer.

Automatic back-up test procedure


On the EC 130, a periodic test of the automatic back-up control
system must be carried out.
This procedure is described in the flight manual and requires
selection of "TEST" mode to test the system during a ground run.
Note: The operating procedures are considered for training
purposes only. Refer to the aircraft manual.

The rate of engine acceleration and deceleration is a function


of the speed of movement of the actuator which is designed to
avoid the possibility of surge or flame-out.

FUEL VALVES ASSEMBLY


The following phases are considered: starting, normal running
and shut-down.

Shut-down - Injection wheel purge


When Stop is selected:
- The stop electro-valve is energised and closes

Starting
When start is selected, the start electro-valve and the stop
electro-valve are electrically supplied. The valves open and
permit the fuel supply to the start injectors.
When there is sufficient fuel pressure (300 kPa / 43.5 PSI),
the pressurising valve opens and fuel flows to the centrifugal
injection wheel.
When the engine reaches self-sustaining speed (approx.
45%N1) the electrical supply to the start electro-valve is cut.
The valve closes the fuel supply and opens the P3 air supply
to ventilate the start injectors.

- The pressurising valve closes


- The injection wheel is no longer supplied with fuel
- The engine shuts-down
- The sudden but brief pressure rise, upstream of the stop
electro-valve, causes the stop purge valve to temporarily
open against its spring. The residual fuel is then returned
to the tank.
As the fuel pressure decreases, the stop purge valve closes
under the action of its spring.

Normal running
In this condition the fuel is supplied to the centrifugal injection
wheel and the start injectors are still ventilated with P3 air.

MAIN INJECTION SYSTEM

The main injection system sprays fuel into the combustion


chamber to give stable and efficient combustion.

Position
- In the system: downstream of the fuel valves assembly
- On the engine: inside the combustion chamber. The injection
wheel is mounted between the centrifugal compressor and
the turbine shaft.

The restrictor is used to increase the union upstream pressure


thus to improve the pump and metering unit assembly P valve
operation.
The leak test plug helps to check the internal sealing of the
union (there should not be any leak).

Internal supply pipe


This pipe connects the inlet union to the fuel distributor.

Centrifugal injection assembly

- Radial fuel supply.

This assembly consists of a stationary distributor and an injection


wheel. The distributor is drilled with holes which deliver the
fuel to the wheel. The injection wheel, mounted between the
compressor and the turbine shaft, is drilled with holes which
form the fuel spraying jets. Sealing between the distributor and
the wheel is achieved by pressurised labyrinth seals.

Description

Operation

The main injection system comprises the combustion chamber


fuel inlet union, the internal supply pipe and the centrifugal
injection assembly.

As the centrifugal injection wheel is rotating at high speed (N1)


the fuel is centrifuged out through the radial holes and is sprayed
between the two swirl plates.

Combustion chamber fuel inlet union

It should be noted that the injection pressure is supplied by the


centrifugal force and therefore the fuel system does not require
very high pressures.

Main characteristics
- Type: centrifugal injection

The union ensures transfer of the fuel from the external pipe to
the internal supply pipe.
Fitted at the lower right front face of the compressor casing, it
has a restrictor and a leak test plug.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The injection wheel fuel chamber is sealed by pressurised


labyrinth seals. There is a small air flow into the fuel chamber.
During shut-down the fuel remaining in the system is purged
via the fuel valves assembly.

COMBUSTION CHAMBER DRAIN VALVE

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Operation

The valve drains overboard any unburnt fuel remaining in the


combustion chamber.

The valve has two positions: open and closed.

Position

When the engine is not running and at the beginning of start,


the valve is held open by the action of the spring.

- On the engine: at the bottom of the turbine casing.

"Open" position

- Type: piston valve

Any unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber will drain through


the valve overboard to the drain system. This ensures that no
fuel accumulates in the combustion chamber which could cause
starting problems (e.g.: overtemperature).

- Setting: closing threshold as a function of N1 and P0.

"Closed" position

Description

As the engine starts the P3 combustion chamber pressure


increases. This pressure is felt on the upper surface of the valve
which moves down to close the drain.

Main characteristics

The drain valve includes the following components:


- A copper seal

The valve closes during starting when the P3 pressure reaches


a given threshold as a function of N1 and P0.

- A piston valve held open by a spring


- An outlet union which connects to the drain system.

STARTING

The pumps are driven at a speed proportional to N1.


The fuel flow is metered by the metering unit according to control
laws determined by the Engine Electronic Control Unit.
The additional check valve ensures the operation of the constant
P valve when the HP pump pressure is very low. It increases
the HP fuel pressure during starting, particularly at altitude.
The start purge valve is closed by the metering unit outlet
pressure.
The constant P valve operates and returns the excess fuel to
the LP pump outlet.
The pressurising valve permits the supply to the start injectors
first, and then to the centrifugal wheel.
At the end of starting, the start accessories are de-energised.
The start electro valve closes and allows the ventilation of the
start injectors by P3 air.
The gas generator rotation speed is stabilised at a controlled
value.

FUEL SYSTEM PURGE

The fuel passes through the filter and, initially, the start purge
valve opens, returning the fuel to the tank.
After a few seconds, the low pressure fuel supply acts on the
close piston and closes the start purge valve.
Note: Compared to the ARRIEL 2B-2B1 engine variants, the
closing of the start purge valve is controlled by low fuel
pressure. This device improves self-priming of the fuel
system.

FUEL SYSTEM - OPERATION (2D)


When start is selected, the start accessories are electrically
supplied. The stop electro-valve and start electro-valve open.
The pumps are driven at a speed proportional to N1.

The gas generator rotation speed is stabilised at a controlled


value.
Note: The combustion chamber drain valve closes during
starting when the pressure reaches a given threshold
as a function of N1 and P0.

The fuel flow is metered by the metering unit according to control


laws determined by the Engine Electronic Control Unit.
The additional check valve ensures the operation of the constant
P valve when the HP pump pressure is very low. It increases
the HP fuel pressure during starting, particularly at altitude.
The constant P valve operates and returns the excess fuel
to the LP pump outlet. If the main P valve fails, the auxiliary
P operates.
The pressurising valve permits the supply to the start injectors
first, and then to the centrifugal wheel.
When N1 > 30% and T4.5 > 400C, the electrical supply to the
ignition system is cut off, so the system no longer produces
sparks. Above 61% of N1, the electrical supply to the starter
and start electro-valve is cut off. The start electro-valve closes
and cuts off the fuel supply to the start injectors.
The P3 air pressure opens the start injectors purge valve and
allows the ventilation of the start injectors by P3 air.

CONTROL SYSTEM PRESENTATION


The EECU has two independent channels A and B. Both channels
have the same software.

Channel selection

Analog inputs

2B1: A channel selector in the EECU will select which channel


will control the engine depending on the signals it receives
from the two channels. The normal channel is A. If it fails,
the system switches automatically to channel B.

The two channels receive the following analog inputs: P3, T4.5,
position transmitter signal, Torque, 2B-2B1: N2 trim, P0, T0,
collective pitch and conformation resistances Torque and T4.5.

2D: At each EECU power-up, a channel selector in the EECU


switches channels automatically. If the selected channel
fails, the system switches automatically to the other channel.

The inputs are shared between the two channels. The N1 and
N2 inputs are independent for each channel.

If both channels are unable to control the engine, the dual


stepper motor is frozen and the EBCAU automatically controls
the engine fuel flow.

There is a data link between the two channels.


This configuration ensures that if all the acquisitions on one
channel fail the acquisitions of the other channel are sufficient
to control the engine safely.
2D: There is one T4.5 measurement per channel. There is no
T4.5 direct to the instrument panel.

Discrete inputs and outputs


The discrete inputs are received and shared by the two channels
and the discrete outputs are controlled by the selected channel.
The resources of each channel receive their power supply from
the corresponding channel. The shared resources receive their
power supply from both channels.

CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION


Adaptation to requirements

Installation configuration
The gas generator supplies power to the power turbine which
is connected to the helicopter main rotor.

Installation requirements
- Aircraft rotor speed (NR) almost constant in all operating
conditions (because of the rotor efficiency) whatever the load
applied
- Max. torque limitation (imposed by the mechanical transmission
and the helicopter main gearbox)
- Power turbine rotation speed (N2) within given limits (in fact
almost constant, as it is connected to the rotor)

The control system ensures the engine adaptation to the


requirements by metering the fuel flow WF sprayed into the
combustion chamber.
Thus, the gas generator adapts automatically to the requirements
(N1 demand) to maintain the power turbine rotation speed
N2 constant whilst keeping all the other parameters within
determined limits.
This adaptation is illustrated by:
- The diagram W/N1, N2 which illustrates the power W, the
max. TRQ and the rotation speeds N1 and N2
- The diagram N1/N2 which illustrates the N1/N2 relation
curve.

- Limitation of the gas generator rotation speed N1:


Max. N1
Min. N1 (to avoid engine flame-out and critical
speeds)
- 2D: T4.5 limitation (engine thermal protection)
- Protection against surge, flame-out, overtemperature ...

CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION


The basic datum is modified by the N2 controller after comparing
the difference between a datum (the nominal NR) and the
measured N2.

Speed control loop

Thus the N2, and therefore the NR are maintained constant


without static droop.

The speed control loop comprises essentially:


- An anticipator

Operating principle

- A N2 speed controller (power turbine)


- An N1 datum limiter (max. and min. N1, acceleration)
- An N1 controller (gas turbine generator)
- A fuel flow limiter (WF)

The N1 controller treats the difference between the N1 datum


and the actual N1. It converts the difference into a fuel flow
datum WF.

- A fuel flow controller (fuel metering needle control).

N1/N2 relation and static droop


In this type of control system the position of the helicopter
collective pitch lever, which represents the power required,
determines the basic N1 datum. This function, which is called
the anticipator, permits an initial adaptation of the gas generator
speed to balance the power supplied by the engine with the
power required by the helicopter.
Furthermore the anticipator supplies an instant signal of a load
variation, which reduces the detection time and provides a rapid
reaction of the control system. However, this first reaction is not
sufficient, as the power required depends on other factors.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The N1 datum is then limited in order to assure certain functions


such as rating stops, acceleration and deceleration control.

The fuel flow limiter then modifies this datum in order to assure
certain protection functions such as surge, flame-out and
overtorque protections.
Finally the fuel flow datum is treated to give a signal to the
metering unit which determines the actual fuel flow injected into
the combustion chamber, which determines the operation of the
gas generator, particularly the rotation speed N1, and thus the
power supplied to the power turbine in order to maintain the
N2 constant without static droop.

Idle

CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION

When starting is completed, the rotation speed stabilises at


idle which is 67 - 68% (function of T0).

This function includes the starting sequence, the starting fuel


flow control, idling, the transition from idle to flight and relight
in flight.

Transition from idle to flight

Starting sequence

2B1: This is effected by turning the twist grip to the "FLIGHT"


position.
This transition is prohibited until a given increase of N2 has

During the transition, the torque and N2 acceleration are
limited.
The transition is completed when the system enters into nominal
speed control. The control loop comprises the N2 control which
elaborates an N1 datum, and the N1 control which elaborates
a fuel flow datum WF*.

The system ensures the cranking (starter), ignition (ignition


unit) and the fuel supply.
2B: Start is selected using the "OFF-IDLE-FLIGHT selector.
2B1: Start is selected using an "ON-OFF" selector and a twist
grip.

Starting fuel flow control


During starting, the fuel flow WF is metered so as to provide a
rapid start without overtemperature.
To this end, the fuel flow is controlled according to different
laws:
- Basic flow law for ignition
- Starting flow law for acceleration
- T4.5 or flow correction law to prevent overtemperature
- T4.5 surveillance laws: automatic engine shut-down if T4.5
does not exceed 100C (212F) before 27% N1, as well
as an automatic engine shut-down for a T4.5 (according to
the EECU software version) equal to or higher than 865C
(1589F).

2B: This is effected by moving the "OFF-IDLE-FLIGHT" selector


from "IDLE" to "FLIGHT".

In-flight relight

The sequence is identical to a ground start, but only permitted


below 17% N1.
The engine can be started by moving the selector from "OFF"
to "FLIGHT" (2B) or from "OFF" to "ON" (2B1). In this case the
engine will start and accelerate to 100% N2 without stabilisation
at idle.
The electrical supply to the ignition system and starting
accessories is cut off when N1>45%.

CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION


This function includes the starting sequence, the starting fuel
flow control, idling, the transition from idle to flight and relight
in flight.

Starting sequence
The system ensures the cranking (starter), ignition (ignition
unit) and the fuel supply.
Start is selected using an "ON-OFF" selector and a twist grip.
If the first attempt at engine ignition fails, the EECU will interrupt
the start sequence, let the N1 speed decrease below a given
threshold, and then automatically launch one single new start
sequence without the pilot having to switch the main selector
to "STOP". In other circumstances (second start failure, in-flight
flame-out, pilot or EECU-interrupted start sequence), the main
selector has to be switched back to "OFF", then to "ON" again
in order to restart the engine.

Starting fuel flow control


During starting, the fuel flow WF is metered so as to provide a
rapid start without overtemperature.
To this end, the fuel flow is controlled according to different
laws:
- Basic flow law for ignition
- Starting flow law for acceleration
- T4.5 or flow correction law to prevent overtemperature

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

- T4.5 surveillance laws: automatic engine shut-down if T4.5


does not exceed 100C (212F) before 27% N1, as well
as an automatic engine shut-down for a T4.5 (according to
the EECU software version) equal to or higher than 840C
(1544F).

Idle

When starting is completed, the rotation speed stabilises at


idle which is 67 - 68% (function of T0).

Transition from idle to flight

This is effected by turning the twist grip to the "FLIGHT" position.


This transition is prohibited until a given increase of N2 has
been registered.
During the transition, the torque and N2 acceleration are limited.
The transition is completed when the system enters into nominal
speed control. The control loop comprises the N2 control which
elaborates an N1 datum, and the N1 control which elaborates
a fuel flow datum WF*.

In-flight relight

The sequence is identical to a ground start, but only permitted


below 17% N1.
The engine can be started by moving the selector from "OFF" to
"ON". In this case the engine will start and accelerate to 100%
N2 without stabilisation at idle.
The electrical supply to the ignition system is cut off when
N1>30% and T4.5>400C.
The electrical supply to the starter and start electro-valve is cut
off when N1>61%.

Anticipation

The speed control loop comprises N2 control, anticipation, N2


datum selection, limitations and N1 control.

Load variations are anticipated by a signal from a potentiometer


linked to the collective pitch lever. This signal is called XCP.

N2 control

N1 datum selection

The controller matches the N2 to a datum.

This stage chooses the N1* datum as a function of the control


mode, that is: N1* Idle or N1* datum.

2B: The N2* datum is elaborated as a function of a signal XTL.


This signal comes from a potentiometer in the cockpit which
permits servicing adjustment of N2.

N1 limiter

2B1: The N2* datum is elaborated as a function of a signal XTL


(rudder position), P0 and NFT. The NFT signal comes
from an adjuster in the cockpit which permits servicing
adjustment of N2, during certain maintenance tasks.

To reduce noise at low altitude and obtain good


performance in all types of flight, the NR (N2*) speed is
modified according to P0 and XTL.

2D: The pedal position signal (XPA) is sent to the EECU which
forwards it to the VEMD. The VEMD computes the N2*
datum and sends it back to the EECU.
2D: The NFT function is automatically ensured by the EECU.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The N1* datum is limited to assure the limitation of max. and


min. N1, acceleration and deceleration. The minimum N1 is
limited to prevent engine flame-out.

N1 control
The N1 controller treats the difference between the N1* datum
and the actual N1 and elaborates the necessary fuel flow datum
WF*.

Fuel flow limitation


The fuel flow datum WF* coming from the N1 controller is
passed to a flow limiter which prevents surge, overtorque, 2D:
T4.5 limitation and flame-out. It elaborates a metering needle
position datum which is transmitted to the metering needle
control stage.

CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION


The principle of limitations is based on one limit parameter: the
gas generator rotation speed (N1 or Ng). This speed is therefore
the essential piloting parameter.
The other parameters (T4.5, N2, torque) are kept within given
limits by the control system.

Torque limitation
The pilot is also responsible for compliance with the torque
limitations. The torque stop is a function of the N2 signal. As a
safety measure, the EECU calculates a max. fuel flow limit to
prevent overtorque on the MGB

2D: T4.5 limitation

Max. N1 limitation
The maximum N1 is limited automatically, in the following
manner:
There is no automatic limitation of the MTOP rating which is
controlled by the pilot. However a stop prevents any exceedance
of the max. N1 (function of P0, T0).

The T4.5 limitation is an engine thermal limitation as the N1


limitation.
The T4.5 stop is constant.
Note: The engine fuel flow demand (and therefore the power)
is automatically limited to the lowest of the 3 stops (N1,
TRQ, T4.5).

If the sand filter is active, the electronic control unit derates


the N1 limits; the EECU also takes into account the sand filter
active signal for the power check calculation.
Max. continuous power is also controlled by the pilot.

CONTROL SYSTEM - INDICATION AND


MONITORING

Engine power check


It is possible to carry out an engine power check.

The system ensures the indication of engine parameters,


performance indication, cycle counting, rating exceedance time
counting, fault indication and maintenance aid.

In stabilised conditions a power check is selected while the


necessary parameters are being transmitted to the EECU
(P0, T0, configuration).

Indication of N1, N2, T4.5 is provided direct from the engine


to the cockpit, to allow engine monitoring in the event of total
electronic failure and to check that the EECU is maintaining
the engine within limits.

The EECU verifies the stability of the parameters and calculates


the engine power and compares it with the mini guaranteed
power. It records the result and transmits it to the aircraft:
date, hours run, configuration, N1, N2 , P0, T0, Max. torque
guaranteed, calculated T4.5, difference in torque and T4.5,
validity of test.

These indications are independent of the electronic control.

Bleed valve monitoring

Engine parameter indication

Note: 2D: T4.5 and N1 indications are supplied by the EECU.

Torque indication
The EECU receives the torque signal and the conformation
signal from the engine and outputs the conformed torque to
the cockpit indicator.

2D: T4.5 indication

The EECU elaborates a T4.5 indication signal as a function of


the actual T4.5 the T4.5 conformation sent by the EDR.

EECU counting functions


The EECU counts and records in memory the N1 and N2
cycles, the EECU and engine hours ran. This information can
be accessed via the cockpit indication system.
2D: The system comprises a creep-damage counter.
All these counters can be read from the EDR.

N1 indication
The system outputs the N1 and N1 MTOP to the cockpit
indicator.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

The EECU monitors the operation of the bleed valve. If the


bleed valve does not operate at the correct RPM , the EECU
will output a fault message "Bleed valve failure".

Failure detection and maintenance aid


The EECU includes software for failure detection and
maintenance aid. These functions are explained in the following
pages.

Failure indication

Failure tolerance

- Level 3 - Major failure: manual mode reversion

If a failure affects a nominal law the system uses a back-up


law. The essential functions (N1 and N2 control, acceleration
and deceleration control) remain ensured.
In the event of a failure affecting a main law and the
back-up law the system declares itself unable to control the
engine and the engine must be controlled manually.

There are three levels of indication:

- Level 2 - Minor failure: response time may be affected but


the essential control functions are ensured
- Level 1 - Minor anomaly: loss of redundancy with no effect
on engine performance.
There are two lights in the cockpit to indicate these failures, a
GOV red and GOV amber:
- A GOV (Red) indicates a total failure of the control system
- A GOV (Amber) indicates degraded operation of the control
system. This light also indicates a minor anomaly by flashing
when the "OFF-IDLE-FLIGHT" selector leaves the "FLIGHT"
position.

FAILURE TOLERANCE - FAILURE INDICATION (2B12D)

Failure indication
There are three levels of indication:

Failure tolerance

- Level 3 - Major failure: stepper motor frozen

In the event of a failure the system automatically reconfigures


itself, without losing the essential functions, i. e. N1 and N2
control, acceleration and deceleration control. For these
functions the software has recovery laws which it will use if a
main control input becomes invalid.

- Level 2 - Minor failure: response time may be affected but


the essential control functions are ensured

In normal operation, channel A is the prefered channel. The


system will only change to channel B if channel A has a major
failure:

There are two lights in the cockpit to indicate these failures, a


GOV red and GOV amber:

- If a minor anomaly affects channel A, the system remains on


channel A
- If a failure affects a main control law on channel A, it will use
a recovery law.
- If a failure or failures affect a main control law and its recovery
law, the system changes automatically to channel B
- If a failure or failures affect a main control law and the recovery
law of both channels, the system freezes the stepper motor
automatically and enables the back-up system.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

- Level 1 - Minor anomaly (redundancy failure): no effect on


engine operation.

- The GOV red indicates a major failure


- The GOV amber indicates a minor failure. This light also
indicates a minor anomaly (redundancy failure) by flashing
when the twist grip leaves the "FLIGHT" position.
2B1: The control system will always be on channel A, which
can receive information from channel B, unless an internal
malfunction of channel A causes a major failure.

SPEED MEASUREMENT AND INDICATING


SYSTEM

Operation
The N1 signal from the sensor (N1C) goes directly to the cockpit
indicator and is thus independent from the EECU.

Function
This system measures the rotation speeds of the gas generator
(N1) and the power turbine (N2).

The N1 MTOP signal is supplied to the cockpit by the EECU


which derives its N1 signal from the sensor (N1B) or the alternator
(back-up signal).

Main characteristics

The N1 is calculated by the VEMD.

- Type: phonic wheels and electro-magnetic sensors

N1 is an operating parameter as it reflects the engine power.

- Sensor signals: frequency proportional to the rotation


speed.

It is also used for engine control (starting and speed control


loop), cycle counting and maintenance aid.

Main components

Two N2 signals are used for engine control (speed control loop),
cycle counting and maintenance aid.

- Two N1 speed sensors

One N2 signal goes directly to the cockpit for the speed indication
associated with the NR indication.

- Three N2 speed sensors


- Alternator
- Electrical harnesses for connection to the EECU and the
indicators.

SPEED MEASUREMENT AND INDICATING


SYSTEM

Function
The N1 speed sensors measure the gas generator rotation
speed.

Position
- In the system: connected to the indicator and the EECU
- On the engine: left side of the accessory gearbox.

Main characteristics
- Type: electro-magnetic
- Quantity: 2 (interchangeable)
- Phonic wheel:
Quantity: 1
On the alternator drive shaft.

Main components
- Phonic wheel (in module 01)

Description
The N1 speed measurement and indicating system includes:
- A phonic wheel mounted on the alternator drive shaft
- Two electro-magnetic sensors each of which has:
A permanent magnet
A coil.
Each sensor is secured by one screw on a boss on the alternator
drive casing.
An O-ring seal ensures the sealing between the sensor body
and the casing.

Operation
The rotation of the phonic wheel causes the sensor to produce
an electrical signal.
The frequency of the signal is proportional to the rotation speed
and the number of teeth on the phonic wheel.
The output signal from the N1C sensor is transmitted directly
to the VEMD.
The output signal from the N1B sensor is transmitted to the
EECU; it is used for fuel flow control and N1 indication.

- Sensor body.
Note: The engine alternator provides a back-up N1 signal.

T4.5 MEASUREMENT AND INDICATING


SYSTEM

Operation

Function

The T4.5 thermocouple probes measure the gas temperature


at the gas generator turbine outlet.

This system provides a measurement and indication of the gas


temperature (T4.5) at the gas generator turbine outlet.

- 2B-2B1: The conformation box provides the connection point


between the thermocouples, the indicator and the
EECU

Position

- 2D: The T4.5 conformation box is eliminated and replaced by


an electrical connector that is plugged into the EngineEECU harness. The "conformation" function is performed
by the EDR.

All the system components are located on the engine except:


- The EECU
- The T4.5 indicator
- 2D: The EDR (Engine Data Recorder).

Main characteristics
- Type: Thermocouple probes
- Indication: degrees Celsius.

As the T4.5 temperature generated by each individual engine is


slightly different and as there may also be slight measurement
discrepancies, the actual T4.5 temperatures measured by the
thermocouple probes are "conformed" (i.e. adjusted) so that,
when operating correctly, all engines of the same variant indicate
the same reference T4.5 temperature.
The signal from the thermocouples is used for:

Main components

- Engine control (starting fuel flow)

- Thermocouple harness (x 2)

- Indication

- Engine Electronic Control Unit


- Indicator (VEMD)

- 2D: Fuel flow control.

Main characteristics

- Type: Chromel and Alumel thermocouple

- 2B-2B1: The conformation box contains a printed circuit


board of resistors.

- Quantity: 8 double probes (16 thermocouples) in 2


harnesses.

Functional description
The 2 sets of 4 thermocouple probes are identical and are LRU.
They are positioned to give a homogeneous measurement.
Each probe contains two hot junctions (Chromel and Alumel
wires soldered together).
A thermocouple produces an electromotive force which is
proportional to the temperature difference between the hot and
the cold junctions. The probes are wired in parallel thus the
reading obtained is an average.

EDR - ENGINE DATA RECORDER (2D)


The Engine Data Recorder (EDR) stores specific parameters
relating to its engine (configuration data, conformation values,
counters, etc.) and records usage parameters during engine
operation.

Position
The EDR is mounted on a plate, which is attached to the engine
harness and located under the engine platform, close to the
EECU.

Main characteristics
- Electrical power supply: 28 VDC
- Type of links: Ethernet (RJ45): maintenance laptop - airframe
- EDR and Controller Area Network (CAN): EECU - EDR.

Functional description
Description
The EDR is linked to the EECU. When the EECU and EDR are
powered up, an initialisation sequence is performed and the
EDR returns configuration data, counter values and conformation
values to the EECU.
During engine operation, the EECU records data in the EDR
and provides the avionics with the engine counter values that
are stored in the EDR.

-

-

Maintenance need flag (EDR failure, etc.)


Counters (cycles, hours, etc.)
System events (EECU flags and context of the events)
Limit exceedances (N1, T4.5, TRQ, etc.)
Run-down time
Engine health monitoring results
Continuous recording (of the last operating hours).

Note: Some of these parameters are also stored in the EECUs


memory.

General operation
The EDR is used for:
- Automatic initialisation of the EECU if either the engine/
EDR or EECU is replaced: the EDR provides configuration
data, counter values and conformation values to the EECU
- Collection of engine parameters: the main engine
maintenance data are stored in the EDR for retrieval by
maintenance personnel. The EDR allows the operator to
download engine maintenance parameters through the
Ethernet link in order to fill in the engine logbook and perform
maintenance data analysis.
- Reading of engine parameters in the EECU: the operator
can directly access the EECU through the Ethernet link and
the EDRs CAN-Ethernet bridge function.

Recording of engine parameters:

Note 1: An EDR is dedicated to one engine and must follow


that engine throughout its entire life. An EDR must
never be used on a different engine.

- Engine configuration (engine S/N, etc.)


- Conformation values (TRQ, T4.5)

Note 2: The EDR and EECU must never be replaced


simultaneously.

STARTER-GENERATOR

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Operation

The starter motor cranks the gas generator rotating assembly


during starting and dry crank.

Engine cranking (starter)

When the rotation speed of the gas generator is sufficient, the


starter operates as a Direct Current generator.

Position
- On the engine: on the front face of the accessory gearbox.

Main characteristics
- Supplied by aircraft manufacturer
- Type: starter-generator
- Supply: 28 VDC.

Main components

When the pilot starts the engine, the starter contactor closes
and connects the aircraft DC busbar to the starter.
The starter then cranks the rotating assembly through the
accessory drive train.
The torque on the starter shaft is inversely proportional to the
gas generator speed and will be higher when the atmospheric
temperature is low.
The gas generator rotation speed increases up to self-sustaining
speed. The supply to the starter is then cut-out by the opening
of the starter contactor.

Generator operation
When self-sustaining speed is reached, the gas generator drives
the starter which then operates as an electrical DC generator
and supplies the aircraft electrical system.

- The starter-generator
- The mounting flange

Note: 2D: The power supply to the starter is cut-off at 61% of


N1.

- The supply terminals.

IGNITION SYSTEM
Operation

This system ensures the ignition of the fuel sprayed by the start
injectors into the combustion chamber.

Position
All the ignition system components are fitted on the engine,
except the electrical supply circuit.
Ignition unit: on the right-hand side of the axial compressor
casing.
Igniter plugs: beside the start injectors on each side of the
combustion chamber casing.

2B-2B1: The system is electrically energised from engine


starting to self-sustaining speed (45% of N1).
2D: The system is electrically energised from engine starting
to N1 > 30%.
The ignition unit is supplied with 28 VDC. It changes this to
a high-energy current which is delivered to the igniter plugs
through the ignition cables.
The high energy current produced by the ignition unit is supplied
to the central electrode of the igniter plug. It discharges, across the
semi-conductor to the plug body causing a powerful spark.

Main characteristics
- Type: High Energy (HE)
- Supply voltage: 28 VDC.

Description
The ignition system includes the following components:
- 1 double ignition unit
- 2 ignition cables (identical, triple-braided, high-energy cables)
- 2 igniter plugs (surface-discharge type, incorporating a central
electrode insulated from the body, with semi-conductor at the
tip).

STARTING SYSTEM- OPERATION

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Crank cycle

Starting cycle

A crank consists of cranking the rotating assembly without


supplying fuel or ignition (dry ventilation). It is used for cooling
the engine or for maintenance procedures.

The starting cycle is characterised by the evolution of the


engine parameters, especially the rotation speed and the gas
temperature.

The crank cycle comprises the following phases:


- Crank selection

The main points of the starting cycle are:

- Cranking of the rotating assembly

- Start selection

- End of crank and run-down.

- Self-sustaining speed (de-energisation of the starter and


ignition unit)

Crank

- End of start (stabilisation at idle speed).

Shut-down cycle
This cycle comprises the following points:
- Stabilisation
- Stop selection
- Run-down and stop.

Ensure that N1 < 10%


- Selector to "OFF"
- 2B-2B1: Starting pump "ON"
- Press (and hold) the "CRANK" button. The engine accelerates
without ignition and fuel: cranking should not exceed 20 sec.
- Release the "CRANK" push-button
- 2B-2B1: Starting pump "OFF".
Note 1: Cranking must be performed with the starting pump
"ON" in order to lubricate the HP fuel pump.
Note 2: Crank time is limited to 20 sec. to avoid overheating
of the starter motor.

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Description
The alternator is secured by 3 screws on the rear face of the
accessory gearbox. Its flange has threaded holes for extraction.

EECU electrical supply

It includes the following components:

The EECU is electrically supplied by either the aircraft + 28VDC


busbar or the engine alternator as follows:

- A rotor driven by the accessory drive train (N1). It is made


up of permanent magnets (8 poles)
- 2B: A stator formed by a three-phase coil located around
the rotor
- 2B1-2D: A stator formed by two separate coils (A and B);
one for channel A and one for channel B
- 2B: An electrical connector for connection to the EECU

- The aircraft + 28 VDC busbar is used on its own during starting


and in the event of an alternator failure during flight
- The engine alternator is used above approx. 60% N1 (normal
operation)
- The EECU switches automatically from the aircraft + 28VDC
busbar to the alternator without any effect on its operation.

- 2B1-2D: Two electrical connectors for connection to the 2


channels of the EECU (one for each channel).

Operation
The alternator transforms the mechanical power available on
the shaft into electrical power.
2B: The electrical power is used to supply the EECU.
2B1-2D: The electrical power is used to supply each channel
of the EECU separately.
The three-phase voltage is rectified by a Graetz bridge housed
in the EECU.

Repair procedure

Troubleshooting is a very important aspect of maintenance.

The repair procedure should be guided by two main


considerations:

It allows the probable cause(s) of a failure to be identified.


Efficient diagnosis reduces the extra maintenance costs due to
unjustified removals and additional diagnosis time.
In fact, even with a very high-reliability product, failure is inevitable
and required actions should be taken efficiently.

- Minimum downtime
- Justified removal of components.
The procedure to be applied depends on the case concerned
but, in general, good knowledge of the product and methodical
research allows a safe diagnosis and quick corrective action.
Generally, the procedure includes the identification of the failure,
its analysis, the isolation of the non-conforming component, and
the choice of the repair to be applied.

Despite the high reliability of the product, failures remain


inevitable and happen at random. But their rate and effects
can be reduced if the "enemies" of the engine are taken into
consideration.

CONCLUSION

When the failure occurs, you have to be in a position to correct


it.

"Enemies" of the engine


The traditional adverse conditions for this type of engine are:
- Supply (oil, air, fuel, electricity):
Oil: not in conformity with spec., contamination
Air: sand, salt, pollutions
Fuel: not in conformity with spec., contaminations
Electricity: low voltage, connectors, interference
- Operation ("non respect" of instructions and procedures,
severe operating conditions)
- Maintenance ("non respect" of inspection frequencies, various
mistakes, wrong logistic).

INTRODUCTION

Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and


not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page)

Types of questionnaires

Continuous checking helps to ensure the information is


assimilated. It is more a method of work than a testing in the
traditional sense.

Several types of questionnaire can be employed during a


course:

Objectives of the questionnaires

- Short answer questionnaire

The questionnaires permit a progressive assimilation and a long


term retention. The questionnaires are a subject for discussion
(effects of group dynamics). They also permit students to consider
important subjects several times under different aspects.

- Multi Choice Questionnaire (MCQ)

Integration into the training programme


- First hour every day for revision of the subjects previously
studied
- After each chapter (or module) of the course
- At the end of the training course.

For training purposes only


Copyright - Turbomeca Training

- Traditional written questionnaire

- Oral questionnaire
- Learning Through Teaching(LTT; the student has to explain
a given subject).

Examination
The final examination at the end of the course consists of three
tests: written, oral and practical. A certificate is given to the
student if the results are satisfactory.
