13.6.1. GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATING PRINCIPLE AND SPECIFICATION DATA


The pressure refueling system enables the structural and
supplementary sponson fuel tanks to be filled rapidly,
both on the ground and in flight. The system may also be

On the "DEFUEL / REFUEL" panel, there are five en-

to the five solenoid valves (EXT - INT for the LH group

The indicator lights, when illuminated, indicate an effec-

( 2 ) Valve opening during refueling

Setting the switch to "REFUEL" on the control unit


energizes the electrovalve which opens, causing the
pressure to drop behind the refueling valve and the

( 3 ) Valve closing

When the electrovalve is deenergized, the valve is


closed by its spring and stops the leak behind the
refueling valve which returns to the position de-
scribed in 1.

( 4 ) Depressurization without valve opening

Fuel suction generates depressurization inside


the valve "A" chamber. The refueling valve is
maintained closed by the load of its spring and
of the fuel "trapped" behind the valve.

DEPRESSURIZATION

( 5 ) Valve opening during defueling

Opening the electrovalve generates fuel flow behind


the refueling valve. The force exerted by the outer
side of the valve is greater than the force exerted by
the spring. The valve opens and the indicator light
comes on.

( 6 ) Non-return valve function

When the electrovalve is closed, the fuel flowing


through the non-return valve (mounted on the
refueling valve) reinforces the action of the spring
by maintaining the valve closed.

A fan (3) picks the air either outside or inside
(recirculated) of the aircraft and blows it to
the distribution system which consists of :
- Two ducts (4) running along the roof of the
aircraft provided with louvres for fresh air dis-
tribution.
- Two hot air distribution networks (5) sup-
plied with P2 air and providing warm air on
the floor of the aircraft.
- The flap (6) electrically controlled selects the
air picking : outside (1) or inside (2).
- The flaps (7) electrically controlled select
either the cold air distribution (overhead) or
heating distribution.
An air conditioning group (11) fitted in the
RH sponson produces a coolant fluid flow to
the evaporator (9). The transformation from
fluid to vapour inside the evaporator cool the
air flow. 11

the indicator and the ICE light remains on.

20.2 - EXTERNAL LOAD CARRYING

20.2.1. SYSTEM OPERATING PRINCIPLES


( 1 ) Brief description
The external load transport installation is particularly well
suited for aerial work. It allows carrying of bulky or heavy
loads (3.8 tons maximal weight). A rotary hook and re-
lease unit is mounted directly underneath the main rotor
shaft as close as possible to the aircraft center of gravity
to minimize the effect of the movements of the suspended
load on the aircraft attitude. Obviously, the release unit
must be secured to the primary airframe structure : it is Rotary Oscillating beam

20.4.3. HOIST CONTROL AND INDICATOR SYSTEM (Cont'd)

( 2 ) Servo-valve operating principle


By means of an electrical control (here the hoist opera-
tor’s hand control potentiometer), the servo valve is used
1
to control the flow rate of the pressurized hydraulic liquid
2 so that the hoist engine rotates in one direction or an-
other, at a variable speed.

• Servo valve live, control at 0

A polarized cutout arm (3) is maintained in equilibrium by


3
2 springs. By polarizing the core S2, the adjusting
potentiometer (2) enables the cutout arm to be pivoted
5 5 between the two nozzles (5) so that the leak flow rates
P maintain identical pressures in chambers A and B. In
this case, the slide valve (4) remains stationary in a neu-
R tral position.

HYDRAULIC MOTOR

• Polarization of the servo-valve in the "ascent" di-


rection
When the potentiometer cursor (1) is moved, current is 1
circulated in the coils S1 and S2 in the direction + 24 V to 2
the potentiometer ground (1), and the cores are polarized.
The intensity of the core magnetic fields is proportional to
the voltage of the current circulating in the coils. This
voltage is zero when the cursor is at the midpoint (0) of
the hand control potentiometer (1). The unbalance of the
3
leaks varies the pressures in chambers A and B. The
slide valve moves (here to the left).

• Polarization of the servo-valve in the "descent"

P If the cursor is moved downwards, the current circulates
in the hoist operator potentiometer direction through the
R coils to the potentiometer ground (2). The polarization of
the coils is reversed, making the cutout arm pivot in the
B A opposite direction, which results in unbalance in the pres-
sures of chambers A and B and movement of the slide

valve (here to the right).
