Propulsion Unit Introduction
Gas Path
A simplified view of the propulsion unit is shown below. All
the air entering the engine passes through the inlet cowl to
the fan.
At the fan exit the air stream divides into two flows:the core engine flow
• the by-pass flow
the by-pass ratio is 5.42:1.
•
Core Engine Flow
The core engine flow passes through the fixed inlet guide
vanes to the three stage booster then to the HP
compressor, the combustion section and the HP & LP
turbines and finally exhausts into the CNA.
By-pass Flow
The fan exhaust air (cold stream) entering the by-pass duct
passes through the fan outlet guide vanes and flows along
the by-pass duct to exhaust into the CNA.
Common Nozzle Assembly (C.N.A.)
The core engine (hot) exhaust and the (coo1) by-pass flow
are mixed in the CNA before passing through the single
propelling nozzle to atmosphere.
PROPULSION UNIT OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
ENGINE MARK NUMBERS
For easy identification of the present and all future variants
of the V2500, International Aero Engines has introduced a
new engine designation system.
•
All engines will retain V2500 as their generic name.
•
The first three characters of the full designation are V25,
identifying each engine as a V2500.
•
•
•
The next two figures indicate the engine's rated
sea-level takeoff thrust.
The following letter shows the aircraft manufacturer.
The last figure represents the mechanical standard
of the engine.
This system will provide a clear designation of a particular
engine as well as a simple way of grouping by name,
engines with similar characteristics.
• The designation V2500-D collectively describes,
irrespective of thrust, all engines for McDonnell
•
Douglas applications and V2500-A all engines for Airbus
Industrie.
Similarly, V2500-5 describes all engines built to the 5
mechanical standard, irrespective of airframe
application.
The only engine exempt from these is the current service
engine, which, having already been certified, will retain the
original and current designation V2500-A1

Bearing Compartments
Front Compartment
Gearbox Drive
The No's 1, 2 and 3 bearings are located in the front
bearing compartment which is at the centre of the
intermediate module (32).
The HP stubshaft, which is located axially by No 3
bearing, has at its front end a bevel drive gear which,
through the tower shaft, provides the drive for the main
accessory gearbox.
The compartment sealing utilises carbon seals, brush
seals and sealing airflows obtained from the 6 th stage
compressor manifold.
The H.P. stubshaft separates from the HP compressor
module at the curvic coupling and remains as part of the
intermediate case module.
An oil filled (hydraulic) seal is used between the two
shafts, this seal is supported by 8 th stage air.
Adequate pressure drops across the seals to ensure
satisfactory sealing, are achieved by venting the
compartment, by an external tube, to the de-oiler. The
bearing compartment pressure, and therefore the sealing
flows, are controlled by a restrictor in the vent tube.
FRONT BEARING COMPARTMENT
Bearing Compartments
Front Compartment Continued
The drawing below shows details of No2 and No3
bearings.
A phonic wheel (1) is fitted to the LP stub shaft, this
interacts with speed probes to provide LP shaft speed
signals (Nl) to the EEC.
The hydraulic seal (6) prevents oil leakage from the
compartment passing rearwards between the HP and LP
shafts.
No3 bearing is hydraulically damped. The outer race is
supported by a series of spring rods (14) which allow
some slight radial movement of the bearing. The bearing
is centralised by oil pressure fed to an annulus (12)
around the bearing outer race.
The gearbox drive gear (8) is splined onto the HP shaft
and retained by No3 bearing nut (7).

Bearing Compartments
No 4 (Centre) Bearing
The No 4 bearing compartment is situated in a high
temperature, high pressure environment at the centre of
the combustor section.
The bearing compartment is encased in a thermally
insulated shielding.
A supply of cooled air (buffer air) is admitted to the space
between the chamber double skinned walls.
The buffer air is exhausted from the cooling spaces close
to the upstream side of the carbon seals, creating an area
of cooler air from which the seal leakage is obtained. This
results in an acceptable temperature of the air leaking into
the bearing compartment.
Buffer air flow rates are controlled by restrictors at the
outlet from the cooling passages.
The bearing compartment internal pressure level is
determined by the area of the variable scavenge valve,
(called No 4 bearing scavenge valve and described in the
oil system). This valve acts as a variable restrictor in the
compartment vent line.
No 4 BEARING COMPARTMENT
Mechanical Arrangement
bearing Compartments
No 5 Bearing (Rear)
The rear bearing compartment is located at the centre
of the L.P. turbine module (module 50) and houses
No 5 bearing which supports the L.P. turbine rotor.
The compartment is sealed at the front end by a
carbon seal, a simple labyrinth seal provides
secondary sealing to protect against oil loss in the
event of carbon seal failure.
Separate venting is not necessary for this compartment
because with only one carbon seal the airflow induced by
the scavenge pump gives the required pressure drop
across the seal.
The compartment is covered by an insulating heat
shield.

Note:
The blade retaining ring is secured to the fan disc by a ring
of 36 bolts. A second {outer) ring of bolts passes through
the retaining ring and screws into each of the 22 annulus
fillers.
The fan blades and annulus filler positions are not
identified. For this reason it is important to identify the
blade and annulus filler position, relative to the numbered
slots in the fan disc, before disassembly.
Both rings of bolts roust be removed before attempting to
remove the front retaining ring.
This is done using a temporary marker.
After all the securing bolts (22 + 36) have been removed
the retaining ring can be removed by screwing pusher
bolts into the 6 threaded holes provided for this purpose.
Balance weights, if required are located on the retaining

Electronic Engine Control
Introduction
The V2500 uses a Full Authority Digital Electronic Engine
Control (FADEC).
The FADEC comprises the sensors and data input, the
electronic engine control unit (E.E.C.) and the output
devices which include solenoids, fuel servo operated
actuators and pneumatic servo operated devices. The
FADEC also includes electrical harnesses.
Engine Electronic Control
The heart of the FADEC is the Engine Electronic Control
(EEC) unit. The EEC is a fan case mounted unit which is
shielded and grounded as protection against E.M.I. mainly
lightning strikes.

The EEC Description
The E.E.C. has two identical electronic circuits which are
identified as Channel A and Channel B. Each channel is
supplied with identical data from the aircraft and the
engine- This data includes throttle position, aircraft digital
data, air pressures, air temperatures, exhaust gas
temperatures and rotor speeds.
This data is used by the E.E.C, to set the correct engine
rating for the flight conditions. The E.E.C. also transmits
engine performance data to the aircraft. This data is used
in cockpit display, thrust management and condition
monitoring systems.
Each of the EEC channels can exercise full control of all
engine functions.
Control alternates between Channel A and Channel B for
consecutive flights, the selection of the controlling channel
being made automatically by the E.E.C. itself.
The dual channels which are contained in the two piece
housing are separated from each other through a unique
circuit mounting board system. The two channels
exchange data through the data crosslink.

Electronic Engine Control
Failures and Redundancy
Improved reliability is achieved by utilising dual sensors,
dual control channels, dual selectors and dual feedback.
•
Dual sensors are used to supply all E.E.C. inputs
except pressures, (single pressure transducers
within the E.E.C. provide signals to each channel A
and B).
•
The E.E.C. uses identical software in each of the
two channels. Each channel has its own power
supply, processor, programme memory and
input/output functions. The mode of operation and
the selection of the channel in control is decided by
the availability of input signal and output controls.
Each channel normally uses its own input signals
but each channel can also use input signals from
the other channel required i.e. if it recognises faulty,
or suspect, inputs.
•
An output fault in one channel will cause switchover
to control from the other channel.
•
In the event of faults in both channels a predetermined hierarchy decides which channel is
more capable of control
•
In the event of loss of both channels, or loss of
electrical power, the systems are designed to go to
the fail safe positions.

Operation and Control
E.E.C. Power Supplies
The electrical supplies for the E.E.C. are normally
provided by a dedicated alternator which is mounted to
and driven by the external gearbox - shown below.
Dedicated Alternator
The unit is a permanent magnet alternator which has two
independent sets of stator windings and supplies two
independent, 3 phase, frequency wild A.C. outputs to the
EEC. These unregulated A.C. supplies are rectified to 28
volts DC within the EEC.
The dedicated alternator also supplies the N2 signal for
the EEC.
The EEC also utilises aircraft power to operate some
engine systems:•
115 volts AC 400 Hz power is required for the ignition
system and inlet probe anti-icing heater
•
28V DC is required for some specific functions which
include the thrust reverser, fuel on/off and ground test
power for EEC maintenance.
In the event of a dedicated alternator total failure the EEC
is supplied from the aircraft 28V DC bus bars, 28V DC
from the same source is also used by the EEC during
engine starts until the dedicated alternator comes on line
at approximately 10% N2.
The dedicated alternator comes on line and supplies the
EEC power requirement when the N2 roaches approx
10%.
Switching between the aircraft 28V supply and dedicated
alternator power supplies is dour automatically by the
EEC.

Throttle Control Lever Mechanism
The throttle control lever (Thrust Lever) is based on the "fixed
throttle" concept, there is no motorised movement of the throttle
levers.
Each throttle control lever drives dual throttle resolvers, each
resolver output is dedicated to one E.E.C. channel.
The throttle lever angle (TLA) is the input to the resolver.
The resolver output, which is fed to the E.E.C, is known as the
Throttle Resolver Angle (TRA)
The relationship between the throttle lever angle and the throttle
resolver angle is linear and:1 deg TLA = 1.9 deg TRA.

Throttle Control Lever Mechanism
The throttle control mechanism for one engine is shown

The control system consists of:•
•
•
the throttle control lever
the mechanical box
the throttle control unit
The throttle control lever movement is transmitted through
a rod to the mechanical box. The mechanical box
incorporates 'soft' detents which provides selected engine
ratings, it also provides "artificial feel" for the throttle
control system.
The output from the mechanical box is transmitted by a
second rod to the throttle control unit. The throttle control
unit incorporates two resolvers and six potentiometers.
Each resolver is dedicated to one E.E.C. channel, the
output from the potentiometers provides T.L.A. signals to
the aircraft flight management computers.
A rig pin position is provided on the throttle control unit for
rigging the resolvers and potentiometers.
Note
The E.E.C. incorporates resolver fault accommodation
logic which allows engine operation after a failure/loss of
T.R.A. signal.
Bump Rating Push Button
In some cases (optional) the throttle control levers are
provided with "Bump" rating push buttons, one per engine.
This enables the E.E.C. to be re-rated to provide
additional thrust capability for use during specific aircraft
operations.

Throttle Control Lever Mechanism
The throttle control lever moves over a range of 65
degrees, from minus 20 degrees to plus 45 degrees.
An intermediate retractable mechanical stop is provided at
0 degrees.
Forward Thrust Range
The forward thrust range is from (0 to plus 45) degrees.
0 deg. = forward idle power
45 deg. = rated take off power
Two detents are provided in this range:at 25 degrees: max climb (MCLB)
at 35 degrees: max continuous (MCT)/flexible

Reverse Thrust Range
Lifting the reverse latching lever allows the throttle to
operate in the range 0 degrees to minus 20 degrees.
Two detents are provided in this range:at minus 6 degrees: reverse idle power, corresponds
to thrust reverse deploy

ENGINE CONTROL - THROTTLE SETTING
Power Management
EEC-Fuel System Interface
Movement of the pilots throttle control lever is sensed by
the dual resolvers which signal the TRA to the EEC.
The EEC computes the fuel flow which will produce the
required thrust.
The computed fuel flow request is converted to an
electrical current (I) which drives the torque motor in the
Fuel Metering Unit (FMU) which modulates fuel servo
pressure to move the Fuel Metering Valve (FMV) and sets
the fuel flow.
Movement of the FMV is sensed by a dual resolver which
is located in the fuel metering unit next to the FMV.
The dual resolver translates the fuel metering valve
movement into an electrical feedback signal which is fed
back to the EEC.
The basic control loop is shown below.
POWER SETTING - BASIC CONTROL LOOP
Power Management
Basic Control Loop
NOTE
The EEC uses closed loop control based on Engine
Pressure Ratio (EPR) or N1 if EPR is unobtainable.
EEC controls the rate of change of fuel flow, and thus
acceleration/deceleration times, as a function of the rate of
change of N2.
EPR Closed Loop Control
The E.E.C. computes a Target EPR as a function of:T.R.A.
Tamb
T2
Alt
Mn
: (Throttle Resolver Angle)
: (Ambient temperature)
: (Engine air inlet temperature)
: (Altitude)
: (Mach Number)
The EPR target is compared to the actual EPR to
determine the EPR error.
The EPR error is converted to a rate controlled fuel flow
command (WF) which is summed with the measured fuel
flow (WF actual) to produce the WF error.
The W.F. error is converted to a current I which is sent to
the FMU to drive the torque motor, this moves the FMV to
change the fuel flow. The change in fuel flow causes the
engine to accelerate/decelerate and bring about a change
in actual EPR.
This process continues until there is no EPR error.
Nl Reversion
Loss of the P2 or P4.9 signal will cause an automatic
reversion to Rated N1 closed loop control.
If the T2 signal also fails this causes reversion to Unrated
N1 closed loop control.
NOTE:
•
•
N1 Rated control is dispatchable
N1 Unrated control is non dispatchable
POWER SETTING -EPR/N1 CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
Power Management
Thrust Modes
The engine operates in one of three thrust modes, AUTO,
MEMO and MANUAL. Entering, exiting these three modes
is controlled by inputs to the Engine Interface Unit (EIU)
In the Memo mode the thrust is frozen, to the last actual
EPR value, and will remain frozen until the throttle lever is
moved manually, or, auto thrust is reset.
Auto Thrust Mode
Manual Thrust Mode
The Auto Thrust mode is only available between idle and
MCT when the aircraft is in flight.
This mode is entered anytime the conditions for AUTO or
MEMO are not present. In this mode thrust is a function of

Fuel System Component
Fuel Metering Unit (F.M.U.)
The FMU is the interface between the EEC and the fuel
system.
It is located on the dual fuel pumps unit, on the rear of the
main gearbox, and is retained by four bolts as shown
below.
All the fuel delivered by the HP fuel pumps which is much
more than the engine requires passes to the FMU.
The FMU, under the control of the EEC, meters the fuel
supply to the fuel spray nozzles, it also supplies HP fuel
for the operation (muscle) of a number of actuators. Any
fuel supplied by the HP pumps which is not needed for
these two uses is returned, from the FMU to the LP side of
the fuel system.
In addition to the fuel metering function the FMU also
houses the Overspeed Valve and the Pressure Raising
and Shut Off Valve. The Overspeed valve under the
control of the EEC, provides overspeed protection for the
LP (N1) and HP (N2) rotors.
The Pressure Raising and Shut Off Valve provides a
means of isolating the fuel supplies to start and stop the
engine.
Note:
There are no mechanical inputs to, or outputs from, the
FMU.

Fuel Metering Unit
A simplified schematic representation of the Fuel Metering
Unit is shown below.
The three main functions of the FMU are:
1. metering the fuel supplies to the fuel spray nozzles.
2. overspeed protection for both the LP (N1) and HP
(N2) rotors.
3. isolation of fuel supplies for starting / stopping the
engine.
These three functions are carried out by three valves,
arranged in series, as shown:
•
•
•
the Fuel Metering Valve (FMV).
the Overspeed Valve (OS).
the Pressure Raising and Shut Off Valve (PRSOV).
The position of each valve is monitored and positional
information is transmitted back to the EEC. This ensures
that the EEC always knows that the valves are in the
commanded position.

Fuel Metering Operation
Fuel metering is achieved by the Fuel Metering Valve and
the Pressure Drop Regulator and Spill Valve, which act
together in the following sequence.
Signals from the EEC, cause the torque motor to change
position which directs fuel servo pressure to re-position
the Fuel Metering Valve. This changes the size of the
metering orifice through which the fuel passes which in
turn changes the pressure drop across the metering valve.
The change in the pressure drop is sensed by the
Pressure Drop Regulator which will re-position the spill
valve and so increase/decrease the fuel flow through the
fuel metering valve until the pressure drop is restored to its
datum value.
The increase/decrease in fuel flow causes the engine to
accelerate/decelerate until the actual EPR is that
demanded by the EEC signal.
Movement of the Fuel Metering Valve is transmitted
through a rack and pinion mechanism to drive a dual
output position resolver, the resolver output is fed back to
the EEC.
The fuel metering valve incorporates a manual adjuster to
allow setting for changes in fuel density. Automatic
compensation for changes in fuel temperature is provided
by bi-metallic washers located in the pressure drop
governor and spill valve assembly.

Overspeed Protection
The Overspeed Valve is positioned down stream, in
series, with the Fuel Metering Valve.
Note:
It should be understood that this device is not incorporated
to provide the usual N1/N2 red line limiting of max T.o
speed of 100% The EEC will act through the Fuel
metering Valve to trim the fuel flow if Nl or N2 reach 100%.
Operation
The overspeed valve is spring loaded to the closed
position, it is opened by increasing fuel pressure during
engine start and during normal engine operation is always
fully open.
In the event of an overspeed the EEC sends a signal to
the overspeed valve torque motor which changes position
and directs H.P. fuel to the top of the overspeed valve this
fully closing the valve.
A small by-pass flow is arranged around the overspeed
valve to prevent engine flame out
The overspeed valve is hydraulically latched in the closed
position, thus preventing the engine from being reaccelerated - the recommended procedure is for the flight
crew to close the engine down, and not re-start.
Closing down the engine is the only way to release the
hydraulic latching.
Note:
Because the overspeed valve is spring loaded to the
closed position, and opened by fuel pressure, the
overspeed valve will close on every engine shut down.

Pressure Raising and Shut off Valve
The third valve in the F..M.U. is the Pressure Raising and
Shut off Valve (PRSOV). Its primary function is to Isolate
the fuel supplies to the fuel spray nozzles for starting and
stopping the engine, it also acts as a pressure raising
valve to ensure that, during engine starts, fuel is not
passed to the fuel spray nozzles until fuel pressures in the
F.H.U. are high enough to ensure the control devices will
function correctly.
The two position torque motor which controls H.P. fuel
pressure to operate the PRSOV also controls a spill valve
servo line. When the torque motor is selected to close the
PRSOV, to shut down the engine, the spill valve servo line
is opened, this will fully open the spill valve and direct all
the H.P. fuel pump delivery back to the L.P. fuel system.
The PRSOV torque motor is commanded open by the
EEC during AUTO starts. It is commanded open by a
cockpit mounted switch during MANUAL starts.
The PRSOV can be commanded closed by the EEC
during AUTO start sequences if the sequence has to be
stopped for any reason. The EEC's ability to close the shut
off valve is inhibited above 50% N2. Above 50% N2, and
in flight, the PRSOV can only be closed by the crew
operated switch in the cockpit.

OIL SYSTEM-INTRODUCTION
The oil system is a self contained, full flow recirculating
type design to ensure reliable lubrication and cooling
under all circumstances.
Oil cooling is controlled by a dedicated Heat Management
System which ensure that engine oil, I.D.G. oil and fuel
temperatures are maintained at acceptable levels while
ensuring the optimum cooling configuration for the best
engine performance.
A simplified system diagram is shown below.
SYSTEM MONITORING
The operation of the engine oil system may be monitored
by the following flight deck indications:
• engine oil pressure
• engine oil temperature
• oil tank contents
In addition warnings may be given for the following nonnormal conditions:
• low oil pressure
• scavenge filter clogged or partly clogged (high

HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Beat Management System
Purpose
Mode 1
The system is designed to provide adeguate cooling, to
maintain the critical oil and fuel temperatures within
specified limits, whilst minimising the requirement for fan
air offtake.
This is the normal mode and is shown below. In this mode
all the heat from the engine oil system and the I.D.G. oil
system is absorbed by the L.P. fuel flows. Some of the fuel
is returned to the aircraft tanks where the heat is absorbed
or dissipated within the tank.
Three sources of cooling are available:•
•
•
the LP fuel passing to the engine fuel system
the LP fuel which is returned to the aircraft fuel tanks
fan air
There are four basic configurations between which the
flow paths of fuel in the engine L.P. fuel system are varied.
Within each configuration the cooling capacity may be
varied by control valves which form the Fuel Diverter and
Back to Tank Valve.
The transfer between modes of operation is determined by
software logic contained in the E.E.C. The logic is
generated around the limiting temperatures of the fuel and
oil within the system together with the signal from the
aircraft which permits/inhibits fuel spill to aircraft tanks.
This mode is maintained if the following conditions are
satisfied:•
•
•
engine not at high power setting (T/O and early part
of climb).
cooling spill fuel temperature less than 100 deg C.
fuel temperature at pump inlet less than 54 deg C.
Heat Management System
Mode 3
The second mode shown below is the mode adopted
when the requirements for fuel spill back to tank can no
longer be satisfied i.e.
engine at high power setting.
spill fuel temperature above limits (100 deg C
tank fuel temperature above limits (54 deg C)
In this condition all the heat from the engine and I.D.G. oil
systems is absorbed by the burned fuel. If however, the
fuel flow is too low to provide adequate cooling the engine
oil will be pre-cooled in the air/oil heat exchanger, by a
modulated air flow, before passing to the fuel/oil heat
exchanger.
Heat Management System
Mode 4
Mode 4 as shown below is the mode adopted when the
burned fuel flow is low i.e. at low engine speeds with a
high H.P. fuel pump inlet temperature.
In this mode the fuel/oil heat exchanger is operating as a
fuel 'cooler' and the heat passed to the engine oil is
extracted by the air/oil heat exchanger.
Heat Management System
Mode 5
Mode 5, shown below, is the mode which is used when
system conditions demand operation as in Mode 3 but this
is not permitted because:•
•
the IDG oil system temperature is excessive,
or
fuel spill to aircraft tank is not permissible because
of high spill fuel temperatures.
Heat Management System
Fuel Diverter and Back to Tank Valve
The fuel diverter valve and the back to tank valve together
form a single unit. The unit is bolted to the rear of the
fuel/oil heat exchanger as shown below. The valves are
positioned on commands from the E.E.C.
Fuel Diverter Valve
This valve is a two position valve and is operated by a
dual coil solenoid. The control signals to energise / deenergise the solenoid come from the E.B.C.
•
•
solenoid energised :Mode 4 or 5.
Solenoid de-energised : Mode 1 or 3 (fail safe
position)
Back to Tank Valve
This valve is a modulating valve and will divert a proportion
of the L.P. fuel back to the aircraft tanks as directed by the
E.E.C.
The interface between the E.E.C. and the valve is a
modulating torque motor, the torque motor (or will direct
H.P. servo fuel to position the valve.
The fail safe position is with the valve fully closed - no fuel

COMPRESSOR AIRFLOW
CONTROL SYSTEM
Compressor Airflow Control System
Introduction
The engine incorporates two air bleed systems and a
variable stator vane (VSV) system which together are
used to:•
ensure stable airflow through the compressor at "off
design" conditions
•
ensure smooth, surge free, accelerations and
decelerations (transient conditions)
•
improve engine starting characteristics
•
assist in re-stabilising the engine if surge occurs
(surge recovery)
The complete system comprises three subsystems, which
are:
•
an LP compressor air bleed located at engine
station 2.5 and known as the Booster Stage Bleed
Valve (BSBV).
•
HP compressor air bleeds on stages 7 and 10
•
the VSV system which comprises variable inlet
guide vanes, at the inlet to the H.P. compressor,
and 4 stages of variable stator vanes.
The three systems are controlled by the E.E.C.
AIR-FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM - SCHEMATIC
Booster Stage Bleed Valve (B.S.B.V.)
Purpose
B.S.B.V. Mechanical Arrangement
The B.S.B.V. bleeds air from the rear of the L.P.
compressor at engine station 2.5, the bleed air is vented
into the fan air duct.
The annular bleed valve comprises 27 flaps which are
attached by 25 link arms and 2 power arms to a
synchronise ring. Two actuating rods connect the two
power arms to two actuators. The two actuators utilise
H.P. fuel as an hydraulic medium, and are hydraulically
"linked" to ensure simultaneous movement.
The bleed valve provides improved surge margin during
starting, low power and transient operations.
The bleed valve is controlled by the E.E.C. and is fully
modulating, between the fully open and fully closed
positions, as a function of:•
•
•
Nl corrected speed
Altitude
Aircraft forward speed (Mn)
For starting the bleed valve is fully open and will
progressively close during engine acceleration, during
cruise and take off the valve is fully closed.
For
decelerations and operation in reverse thrust the valve is
opened. In the event of an engine surge the valve is
opened to enhance recovery.
The mechanical arrangement is shown below.

BSBV Actuators Description
The two BSBV actuators utilise HP fuel as a hydraulic
operating medium.
The actuators are located on the rear of the intermediate
casing on either side of the HP compressor.
Only one of the actuators, the one on the left hand side,
interfaces with the EEC. This actuator is called the Master
actuator, the RH actuator is called the Slave actuator.
The two actuators are hydraulically linked by two tubes
which pass across the top of the H.P. compressor case.
The master actuator incorporates an LVDT which
transmits actuator positional information back to the EEC.
The slave actuator incorporates two overload relief valves
which prevent overpressurisation of the actuators in the
case of faults, such as a mechanically seized actuator.

Variable Stator Vane System (V.S.V.)
Introduction
The entry of air into the H.P. compressor is controlled by
Variable Incidence Stator Vanes. The variable vanes
control the angle at which the air enters the first five
stages of the H.P. compressor.
The five unison rings are connected by short rods to a
crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected by a short rod to
an actuator which utilizes HP fuel as a hydraulic operating
medium.
The angle varies with the HP compressor speed (N2), this
reduces the risk of blade stall and compressor surge.
Signals from the EEC direct HP fuel to extend/retract the
actuator. Actuator movement causes the crankshaft to
rotate, and, through the unison rings, reposition the
variable stator vanes.
The five stages of variable incidence stators comprise inlet
guide vanes to stage 3 and stages 3, 4, 5 and 6 stator
vanes.
Mechanical Arrangement
Each vane has pivots at its inner and outer ends which
allow the vane to rotate about its longitudinal axis.
The outer end of each vane is formed into a shaft which
passes through the compressor case and is attached by a
short lever to a Unison ring, (one unison ring for each
stage).
The actuator incorporates an LVDT which signals actuator
positional information back to the E.E.C.

Handling Bleed Valves
Introduction
Handling bleed valves are fitted to the H.P. compressor to
improve engine starting, and prevent engine surge when
the compressor is operating at off-design conditions.
A total of four bleed valves are used, three on stage 7 and
one on stage 10.
The handling bleed valves are two position only - fully
open or fully closed, and are operated pneumatically by
their respective solenoid control valve.
The solenoid control valves are scheduled by the E.E.C.
as a function of N2 and T2.6 (N2 corrected).
When the bleed valves are open air bleeds into the fan
duct through ports in the inner barrel of the 'C ducts.
The servo air used to operate the bleed valves is H.P.
compressor delivery air known as PB or Pb.
The bleed valves are arranged radially around the HP
compressor case as shown below.
Silencers ate used on some bleed valves.
All the bleed valves are spring loaded to the open position
and so will always be in the correct position (open) for
starting.

Steady State
The valves are commanded open whenever N2C26 is
below the steady state closing speed.
Transient
The valves are commanded open at the beginning of
accelerations/decelerations and will close when either the
speed limits are exceeded or timers expire.
Surge/Reverse
The valves will be commanded open in the event of a
surge within the speed range shown.
In reverse thrust laws similar to the transient laws apply

The schedule for one bleed valve (7C) is shown, in detail,
below.
Note the transient regime is slightly modified for operation
above 15000 ft but operates in the same way.
Steady State
Surge/Reverse
It can be seen that the valve will be commanded closed at
stabilized min. idle, 8600 N2C26, and will not be opened
again in Steady state.
If the engine is operating in reverse thrust operation is the
same as Transient but different speeds apply.
Transient
The valve will be commanded open during engine
acceleration whenever N2C26 is below the transient
closing speed. Thus during an acceleration from min idle
to max speed the valve will be opened and
will remain open until the speed passes the transient
closing speed. If the acceleration is to a speed below the
transient closing speed the valve will remain open until the
acceleration timer expires (30 seconds).
During decelerations the valve will be commanded open
whenever N2C26 is below the transient opening speed.
The valve remains open until the deceleration ceases and
a deceleration time, 2 seconds, expires.
In the event of an engine surge the valve will be
commanded open, if the speed is below the open speed,
and will remain open until the engine restabilises.

Handling Bleed Valves - Operation
The bleed valves and the solenoid control valves all
operate in the same manner. The operation of one bleed
valve only is described.
Bleed Valves
The bleed valve is a two position valve and is either fully
open or fully closed. The bleed valve is spring loaded to
the open position and so all the bleed valves will be in the
correct position - open -for engine start.
When the engine is started the bleed air will try to close
the valve. The valve is kept in the open position by servo
air (P3) supplied from the solenoid control valve, (solenoid
de-energised) as shown below.

Secondary Air Systems
Active Clearance Control (A.C.C.) System
Introduction
The system improves engine performance by ensuring
that the HP and LP turbines operate with the optimum
turbine blade tip clearances.
This is achieved by directing a controlled flow of cooling
air to reduce the thermal growth of the turbine casings.
This minimises the increase in turbine blade tip clearances
which otherwise occurs during the climb and cruise
phases.
Operation
An air scoop directs fan air to a dual control valve which
modulates the flow to two cooling manifolds, on the H.P.
and L.P. turbine casings.
The modulating air control valves are positioned by a fuel
pressure operated actuator. The actuator input to the air
control valves is through a cam mechanism which
provides different cooling flow rates to the two separate
manifolds.
The actuator is positioned by signals from the E.E.C.
which thus controls the cooling flows as a function of:•
•
corrected N2
aircraft altitude
An actuator mounted L.V.D.T. transmits cooling valve
position feedback signals to the E.E.C.
Loss of control (EEC) or loss of fuel pressure drives the
actuator to the fail safe position to provide maximum
turbine blade tip clearances.

10th Stage Make-up Air System
Introduction
The purpose of this system is to provide additional cooling
airflows to the H.P. turbine 2nd stage disc and blades.
The cooling air used is taken from the 10th stage manifold,
and is controlled by a two position pneumatically operated
valve.
The valve position is controlled by the EEC as a function
of corrected N2 and altitude.
Operation
Signals from the EEC will energise/de-energise the
solenoid control valve. This directs pneumatic servo
supplies to position the 10th stage air valve to the
open/close position.
In the open position the valve allows 10th stage air to flow
through two outlet tubes down the left and right hand side
of the diffuser case and then pass into the engine across
the diffuser area. The air then discharges into the area
around No4 bearing housing.
The make up air supplements the normal airflows in this
area and increases the cooling flow passing to the H.P.
turbine, stage 2.
The EEC will keep the air valve open at all engine
operating phases except cruise. The valve incorporates a
micro switch when transmitting valve position feedback
signals to the EEC.
The failsafe position is valve open.

ENGINE ANTI-ICE SYSTEMS
Engine Anti-Icing System
General
P2/T2 Probe Heating
Ice may form in the inlet cowl when the engine is operating
in conditions of low temperature and high humidity.
The P2/T2 probe is continuously heated, during engine
operation, by an integral 115V heating coil.
Ice build up in, and on, the inlet cowl could affect engine
performance and could cause compressor damage from
ice ingestion. To prevent ice formation anti-icing protection
is provided in the following areas:-
Rotating Fairing
•
•
•
the inlet cowl (thermal).
the P2/T2 probe (thermal)
the rotating fairing - spinner (dynamic)
Inlet Cowl Anti-Icing
The inlet cowl anti-icing system utilises air taken from the
7th compressor stage which is ducted down the R.H. side
of the engine to an anti-icing control valve located on the
rear diaphragm of the nose cowl.
From the anti-icing control valve the hot air passes to a
distribution manifold located inside the inlet cowl lip. The
used air is vented overboard through an exhaust grille on
the lower R.H. side of the inlet cowl.
The rotating fairing (spinner) is protected against ice build
up by a solid rubber nose tip which vibrates naturally to
break up and dislodge the ice immediately it starts to form.

The valve can be manually overridden and locked in
either the open or closed position. Without inlet
pressure applied to the unit, the valve can be
manually moved to the desired position by applying a
standard wrench to the hexagonal nut attached to the
butterfly shaft. The valve is locked in the selected
position by removing the locking pin from its stow
position and inserting it through the locking hole on
the valve exterior and the mating hole in the valve
piston. The pin is retained by a ball detent mechanism
in the end of the locking pin.

Anti-Icing Control Valve Description and operation
The anti-icing control valve is a butterfly type valve located
in the anti-icing supply duct.
The valve is positioned through a mechanical linkage by a
piston which is operated by pneumatic pressure. The
piston is spring loaded to the valve closed position.
The two valve positions are shown below.
ANTI-ICING OFF
Solenoid Energised
Inlet supply pressurised
When the solenoid is energised, the solenoid plunger is
retracted against the spring force. Inlet pressure shuttles
the pilot ball against the pilot vent seat, thus admitting inlet
pressure to chamber "A". Inlet pressure acting on the
chamber "A" side of the piston, overcomes the opposing
force of inlet pressure acting on the chamber "B" side of
the piston which has less effective area. This pneumatic
closing force, aided by the power spring force, moves the
valve to the closed position.
ANTI-ICING ON
Solenoid De-energised
Inlet supply pressurised
When the solenoid is de-energised, the solenoid plunger is
extended by the spring. The pilot ball is held against the
inlet pressure seat on the pilot valve, thus venting
chamber "A" to ambient. Inlet pressure in chamber "B",
acting on the reduced piston area, overcomes the power
spring force and moves the valve to the open position.

Speed Probes (N1)
The probes comprise two pole pieces, a permanent magnet,
and a coil wound on to one of the pole pieces. The pole pieces
span two teeth of the phonic wheel.
The phonic wheel is an integral part of the fan stubshaft and
has 60 teeth.
As the shaft rotates and the teeth of the phonic wheel pass the
pole pieces, a voltage 'pulse' is produced in the winding. The
number of pulses produced is directly proportional to the speed
of the shaft. This signal is passed to the E.E.C., processed and
is used to display N1 speed on the flight deck and also for the
engine control circuits as required.
Trim Balance Probe
The signal from this probe is only used during trim balance
operations and provides the phase relationship between any
out of balance forces present and a datum position.
The trim balance probe senses the passage of one specially
modified tooth on the phonic wheel and produces one pulse per
revolution.

Starter Motor - Operation
The starter is a pneumatically driven turbine unit that
accelerates the H.P. rotor to the required speed for engine
starting. The unit is mounted on the front face of the
external gearbox.
The starter comprises a single stage turbine, a reduction
gear train, a clutch and an output drive shaft - all housed
within a case incorporating an air inlet and exhaust.
Compressed air enters the starter, impinges on the turbine
blades to rotate the turbine, and leaves through the air
exhaust. The reduction gear train converts the high speed,
low torque rotation of the turbine to low speed, high torque
rotation of the gear train hub. The ratchet teeth of the gear
hub engage the pawls of the output drive shaft to transmit
drive to the external gearbox, which in turn accelerates the
engine H.P. compressor rotor assembly.
When the air supply to the starter is cut off, the pawls
overrun the gear train hub ratchet teeth allowing the
turbine to coast to a stop while the engine HP turbine
compressor assembly and, therefore, the external gearbox
and starter output drive shaft continue to rotate.
When the starter output drive shaft rotational speed
increases above a predetermined rpm centrifugal force
overcomes the tension of the clutch leaf springs, allowing
the pawls to be pulled clear of the gear hub ratchet teeth
to disengage the output drive shaft from the turbine.

STARTER SHUT-OFF VALVE - INSTALLATION
Starting and Ignition System Starter
Air Valve - Operation
Valve Opening
Air from immediately upstream ot the butterfly valve is
filtered and routed through an orifice in the solenoid valve.
Air upstream of the orifice is also admitted to the smaller
piston of the double acting actuator. When the solenoid is
energised the ball valve opens to admit air to the larger
piston whilst simultaneously closing the vent port. The air
acting on the larger piston oveicomes the combined force
of upstream air pressure acting on the smaller piston and
the actuator spring. Movement of the actuator is translated
through the linkage to rotate the butterfly valve towards
the open position.
Valve Closing
When the solenoid is de-energised, at approximately 6000
rpm (43%) N2, the ball valve closes and air acting on the
larger piston is vented to atmosphere through the vent- Air
pressure and actuator spring pressure acting on the
smaller piston then closes the butterfly valve. Any loss of
air pressure will cause the butterfly valve to close under
the action of the actuator spring.

The actuator has an integral, one way, check valve. This
restricts the fluid return when the C-duct is closing and
thus controls the speed at which the C-duct closes.
Note The C-duct closes owing to its own weight, thus it is

Introduction - Controls and Indications
Selection of reverse thrust and control of engine power in
reverse thrust is effected by the normal thrust lever
(throttle lever).
Movement of the thrust lever rearwards is limited to
forward idle by the latches carried on the thrust levers.
When the latches are lifted the thrust lever is allowed to
move further rearwards (maximum movement approx. 12
degrees). This initiates the following sequence of events
which are all controlled by the E.E.C.
•
the thrust reverser begins to deploy, engine power
commanded to idle.
•
when the thrust reverser has deployed approx.
78%, EEC commands engine to accelerate to
reverse power selected by thrust lever position.
•
thrust reverser continues to deploy to fully deployed
position.
Indications
NO INDICATION
• the thrust reverser is fully stowed
• both locks are fully engaged.
REV
• both locks are disengaged and
• the reverser is between fully stowed and fully deployed
i.e. in transit.

Thrust Reverser - Description
Hydraulic Actuators
Four actuators are used for each thrust reverser, two
actuators are used for each translating cowl.
• the lower actuators incorporate an integral lock
mechanism which holds the piston in the fully stowed
position.
• the upper actuators incorporate an integral Linear
Variable Directional Transformer (LVDT) to indicate
piston position, and thus translating cowl position, to
the EEC.
All actuators use hydraulic snubbing at the end of the
deploy stroke to slow down the actuators over the final
part of the deploy stroke. All actuators also incorporate the
necessary deploy stroke mechanical stops.
Upper Actuators
The two upper actuators are identical Line Replaceable
Units (LRU's), and, in conjunction with the two lower
locking actuators, control movement of the fan reverser
translating elements in response to hydraulic inputs from
the hydraulic control unit.

Lower Locking Actuators
The two lower locking actuators are identical Line
Replaceable Units (L.R.U's) and, in conjunction with the
two upper actuators, control movement of the fan reverser
translating elements in response to hydraulic inputs from
the hydraulic control unit.
The actuators incorporate an integral lock mechanism to
hold the piston rod when the actuator is in the fully stowed
position. The lock releases on rising hydraulic pressure
when deploy is commanded via the hydraulic control unit.
The lock mechanism incorporates a manual release facility
and proximity switch for electrical lock position feedback to
the EEC.
Thrust Reverser - Description
Lower Locking Actuators - Locking Mechanism
In the stowed position (forward thrust) the stow and deploy
ports are both connected to return pressure. The piston
assembly is positively, mechanically, held in the stow
position by the claws of the tine lock.
On a deploy command from the E.E.C. the H.C.U. ports
hydraulic fluid to both the stow and deploy ports.
As the flow into the actuator rod side is not restricted, the
pressure rise in the rod side of the piston is greater than
that in the head side. The net effect is to initially move the
piston in the stow direction, which relieves the locking load
on the tine lock. As the pressure in the head side
subsequently builds up, the differential area unlock sleeve
moves forward against the lock spring preload to release
the radial restriction to tine lock movement. Thus, the lock
is released, the resultant pressure acting on both sides of
the differential area piston drives the piston and
synchronising nut through the tine lock in the deploy
sense. The release sleeve spring holds the sleeve in its
disengaged position.
Thrust Reverser - Description
Synchronisation System
The system is used to provide inter-actuator
synchronisation using flexible synchronisation cables
inside the deploy hydraulic tubing.
The system comprises:• One T-piece connector, to split the deploy hydraulic
pipe connection from the hydraulic control unit to each
of the upper feedback actuators.
• Two flexible tubes to carry the deploy hydraulics from
the T-piece to the upper actuators and guide the
flexible synchronising shafting running between the two
upper actuators.
• Two rigid tubes to carry the deploy hydraulics between
upper and lower actuators on each side and guide the
flexible synchronising shafting running between the
upper and lower actuators.
• Three flexible shafts with square male end fittings to
interconnect the synchronising mechanism of each
actuator
The two deploy tubes incorporate a telescopic coupling at
one end to permit simple removal and replacement without
disturbing actuator installation.

THRUST REVERSER TRU - SCHEMATIC
Thrust Reverser - Operation
Deploy/Stow
Reverse Thrust Selection
Selection of reverse thrust will - via the EEC - provides
signals to:
•
open the isolation valve to allow hydraulic pressure
to the thrust reverser
•
move the directional control valve (DCV) to the
deploy position
Hydraulic pressure is then felt on both sides of the
actuator pistons but, because of the differential piston
areas, the actuators will extend to move the translating
cowls to the reverse thrust position.
Note
the signal from the EEC to the DCV is routed via a relay
which is closed by the Engine Interface Unit (EIU) when
reverse thrust is selected within the permitted operating
envelope.
Re-selection of Forward Thrust
•
moves DCV to stow position
•
the open signal to the isolation valve is maintained
providing hydraulic pressure to the stow side of the
actuator pistons
•
the extend side of the actuator pistons is ported, via
the DCV to hydraulic return
•
the EEC will cancel the open signal to the isolation
valve 5 seconds after the translating cowls reach
the fully stowed position, to ensure full lock
engagement.

Manual Deploy
During manual deploy operations it is necessary to draw
some hydraulic fluid from the aircraft system. This is done
by moving the non return by-pass lever, located in the
hydraulic return line, to the by-pass position as shown
below.
Access to the non-return valve is gained by removing the
pylon access panel.
On completion of the manual deploy operation the by-pass
valve must be re-positioned to the normal position and the
access panel replaced. A baulking feature on the access
panel prevents the panel being closed if the by-pass lever
is in the by-pass position.

Introduction
Menu Mode
The A3 20 utilises Electronic systems to detect, categorise
and display faults which occur during aircraft operation.
This mode is only available when the aircraft is on the
ground and the engines are not running.
One of these systems is the Centralised Fault Display:
System (CFDS). The CFDS consists basically of;-
It allows maintenance crews to establish an interactive
dialogue through one MCDU with any of' the connected
aircraft systems.
•
all (Bite) Built In Test Equipment portions of. the
electronic control systems
•
the central computer - the Centralised Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU)
•
two Multi-Purpose Control and Display Units
(MCDU)
The CFDS has two operating modes:•
normal mode (or reporting mode)
•
menu mode (or interactive mode)

The CFDS continuously receives failure and status
information from the Bite portions of all the connected
systems.

Centralised Fault Display System (CFDS)
The CFDS is used to provide maintenance information
and can also be used to initiate various functional tests,
e.g. thrust reverser, ignition system, etc.
The diagram below shows how the CFDS interfaces with
the Engine Electronic Control (EEC) and the Electronic
Centralised Aircraft Monitoring System (ECAM).
Engine Systems which are controlled by the EEC are
continuously monitored by fault detection logic circuitry
(BITE), within the EEC.
When the EEC detects a fault it generates fault data which
is then transmitted to three user systems:•
the Flight Warning Computer, which generates
ECAM displays to alert the flight crew and provide
advice on recovery / handling procedures.
•
through the Central Maintenance System (CMS) to
the CFDIU.
•
to its own non volatile memory Maintenance
personnel can interrogate this memory through the
CFDS to obtain more detailed fault data.
Printed copies of all fault data can be obtained from the
EEC memory, using the CFDS printer.

CFDS Failure Classification
Three classes of failures have been defined, according to:• how critical the failure is
• its operational impact
• the scheduled maintenance policy
The failures are categorised as:Class 1
These are failures which have
consequence on the flight in progress.
an
operational
Class 2
These are failures which do not have an operational
consequence on the flight in progress but may affect
subsequent flights - refer to Minimum Equipment List
(MEL) for functions lost.
Class 3
Failures which have no operational effect and can be left
until next scheduled maintenance check.
The failure classification is summarized below.

CFDS Normal Mode - Health Monitoring
Wraparound Checks
When operating in the Normal mode the Bite portion of the
EEC continuously monitors the operation of the systems,
under its control, by carrying out:-
This checks out the system electrical circuitry, detects
faults such as - loose connectors, chaffed harness, bent
pins, high resistance, broken cable etc.
1. track checks
2. cross checks
3. wraparound checks
Track Check
The EEC compares the commanded position (output
signal) and the actual position (feedback signal) of the
output device. An error between these two signals shows
that the output device has not gone to the commanded
position. If the error is in one channel only ;the fault is
most likely in the output device, if the fault is in both
channels it indicates either a failure or a mechanical
problem, fouling, bent control rod etc*
Cross Check
The ESC compares the outputs of the Channel A and
Channel B feedback devices (LVDT's, microswitches). A
difference indicates and internal unit fault.
Fault Indications
A fault detected by the Bite generates two messages:•

Fault Diagnosis
The following pages describe the use of the CFDS to
confirm and diagnose faults.
For example, a fault message which reads:ENG 1 COMPRESSOR VANE
has appeared on the ECAM during flight and has been
written in the tech. log by the pilot.
Several faults could generate the same message.
By utilising the CFDS the specific problem can be
identified and further fault data, to assist in fault diagnosis,
can be obtained.
The troubleshooting sequence is as follows:Gain access to the flight deck, then:
1 turn on the FADEC power using the switch on the
overhead panel - RH side.
2 press MCDU menu key
3 select CFDS
4 select POST FLIGHT PRINT
The post flight report, see the example below, records the
ECAM messages and the fault messages. The fault
message is identified by cross checking the times, and is a
clear language message - in this case

to
provide
further
Reference to fault code lists shows that the fault code 3C
means that the 2.5 bleed actuator has failed the track
check.
This indicates a mechanical fault, the actuator has not
gone to the commanded position.
An examination of the 2.5 bleed actuator may reveal an
actuator foul or mechanical damage, if this is not the case,
change the 2.5 bleed master actuator.
Note
•
Three other faults could have produced the same
clear language message, these fault codes are:-
•
5F 2.5 bleed cross check failed. To rectify this fault
change the 2.5 bleed valve master actuator
•
35 2.5 bleed torque motor wrap around failure usually indicates a harness or connector problem
•
D9 Local 2.5 LVDT latched failed change actuator

Harness / Electrical Faults
These faults usually cause the system to fail the
Wraparound check.
Reference to the troubleshooting manual will detail the
investigation (method and sequence) to be carried out.
This can be seen below.
In our example the fault code was 3C.
The TSM details the specific harness checks to be carried
out for this fault code and also provides the locator
reference for the Aircraft Schematic Manual (ASM>, i.e.
ASM 73-25-00
The ASM provides a schematic circuit diagram which
identifies and locates the connectors, cables, etc for this
circuit.
The Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) locator reference
is also quoted i.e. AMM 71-50-00, This details the specific
harness checks to be carried out i.e. continuity checks,
visual checks, resistance checks etc and also explains
how these should be accomplished.
Should any defective circuits or damaged parts be found
the AMM will provide the locator reference for the Aircraft
Wiring Manual (AWM) i.e. 20-71-00.
The AWM provides explicit instructions on how to carry out
the necessary repairs/replacements.

FADEC Test
The FADEC system self test if carried out from the flight
deck through the MCDU using the CFDS in the MENU
mode.
The procedure is shown, step by step, below.
With regard to the FADEC self test there are two points
which must be clearly understood:1. if fault rectification has involved a component change
or a repair the FADEC self test alone does not satisfy
the test requirements. Additional test, some of which
involve an engine ground run, may also be required.
This is explained in more detail on the next page - see
Engine Testing After Fault Rectification.
2. if the FADEC self test shows "Test Failed", it does not
mean the fault is within the EEC. For example, part of
the FADEC self test are wraparound checks, and a
harness fault, a loose plug, for instance, could register
a "Test Failed" indication.

Engine Testing After Fault Rectification
On completion of Power Plant, Module, Component,
repairs or replacement procedures some further tests may
be required before the aircraft is returned to service.
The tests required after specific actions are detailed in the
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) in:CH 71-00-00 Page Block 200
Maintenance Practices
as shown below.
In our example the 2.5 Bleed, master actuator has been
changed.
Reference to AMM 71-00-00 PB 200 shows that tests 3 or
1, and 11 are required.
test 1 : Dry motor leak check.
test 3 : Idle leak check.
test 11: High Power assurance test ()
The test procedures are also detailed under the same
AMM reference. An extract from the AMM is shown below
and on the next page.

Nacelle Ventilation
Ventilation is provided for the fan compartment (Zone 1),
and the core compartment (Zone 2), to:
•
prevent accessory and component overheating
•
prevent the accumulation of flammable vapours
Zone 1 Ventilation
Ram air enters the zone through an inlet located on the
upper LH side of the air intake cowl. The air circulates
through the fan compartment and exits at the exhaust
located on the bottom rear centre line of the fan cowl doors.
Zone 2 Ventilation
The ventilation of Zone 2 is provided by air exhausting from
the Active Clearance Control (ACC.) system around the
turbine area.
The air circulates through the core compartment and exits
through the lower bifurcation of the 'C ducts.
Ventilation during Ground Running
During ground running local pockets of natural convection
exist providing some ventilation of the fancase - Zone 2.
Zone 2 ventilation is still effected in the same way as when
the engine is running.

Fire Detection System
The fire detection system monitors the air temperature in
Zone 1 and Zone 2. When the air temperature increases
to a predetermined level the system provides flight deck
warning by:
• master warning light
• audible warning
• specific fire indications
Zone 1 and Zone 2 fire detectors function independently of
each other.
Each zone has two detector units which are mounted as a
pair, each unit gives an output signal when a fire or
overheat condition occurs. The two detector units are
attached to support tubes by clips.

Detector Units
Responder
Each detector unit comprises:-
The responder has two pressure switches, one normally
open, the other normally closed.
• a hollow sensor tube
• a responder assembly
Sensor Tube
The sensor tube is closed and sealed at one end, the
other open end is connected to the responder. The tube is
filled with Helium and carries a central core of ceramic
material impregnated with Hydrogen.
An increase in the air temperature around the sensor tube
causes the Helium to expand and increase the pressure
within the tubes, further increases in temperature cause
the core material to expel Hydrogen to increase the
pressure within the tube.
Both pressure switches sense the gas pressure in the
sensor tube. The responder is connected via its electrical
receptacle and the harness to an electronic fire detectLon
module.
