Component adaptation The operation of the power turbine is defined by the balance between the power received from the gas generator in the form of kinetic energy and the torque applied on the shaft, i.e. the N2 rotation speed and the torque (TRQ). In terms of its operation, the engine can be divided into two functional assemblies: Operation - The gas generator, which provides kinetic energy - The power turbine, which transforms this kinetic energy into mechanical power on a shaft. The two assemblies have different rotation speeds. Operation is represented by the graph which shows the power (W), the rotation speeds (N1 and N2) and the max. torque limit (TRQ) imposed by the mechanical transmission: - The torque (TRQ) is a function of the N2 rotation speed - The power (W) is equal to the torque (TRQ) multiplied by the angular velocity (ω) Gas generator The operation of the gas generator is defined by: - At constant N2 speed, the power is only a function of the torque - The air mass flow (G) (airflow which enters the engine) - The air pressure and air temperature at the centrifugal compressor outlet (P2 and T2) - The engine parameters can be represented as a function of a reference parameter, e.g. N1. - The fuel flow (WF) (rate at which fuel is injected into the combustion chamber) - The gas temperature at the gas generator turbine inlet (TET) - The gas generator rotation speed (N1) - The Kinetic Energy (KE) supplied to the power turbine.

Twin-engine configuration Adaptation to requirements In twin-engine configuration, the engines are installed to the rear of the main gearbox. To obtain a constant power turbine rotation speed (N2), the power supplied by the engine is automatically adapted to the demand. The power turbines of the two engines are mechanically connected to the main gearbox, which drives the rotors (main rotor and tail rotor). For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training This adaptation is regulated by 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 rotation speed (N1)), while keeping the engine within its operational limits.

These TBOs, which are determined on the basis of tests and experience, are subject to an extension programme. Counting of hours and cycles The counting of hours relates to flight hours and is performed either manually or automatically. TBOs are expressed in flight hours. Life limits Certain components (mainly rotating parts such as compressors, turbines, etc.) have a life limit which requires them to be scrapped when the limit is reached. Life limits are expressed in operating cycles (C1 or C2 cycles). Calendar limits A calendar limit is the time (expressed in years) after which an engine, module or accessory subject to a calendar limit has to be returned to the factory or an approved repair centre. The calendar limit begins when the engine, module or accessory concerned first enters into service after installation on the airframe (following manufacture, overhaul or repair). If an engine, module or accessory is put into storage, the calendar limit continues to run. A cycle is a clearly defined operating sequence. Cycles are counted either manually or automatically. The method for counting cycles and the various limits are described in chapter 05 of the Maintenance Manual. A counting-check procedure (comparison between automatic counting and manual counting) is carried out as part of periodic maintenance. A quick intermediate check can be carried out by comparing the two engines' counters for a given period of operation. On-condition monitoring Some components have no TBO, life limit or calendar limit. They are generally considered to be "on-condition" components. Use-limited parts These parts have a maximum usage time defined in hours and/or cycles and include parts such as bearings, casings and shafts.

They are defined in chapter 05 of the Maintenance Manual. It includes two inspection types. - Borescopic inspection: this permits inspection of internal parts which are otherwise 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, determine which component is failing and anticipate potential failures (analysis by magnetic-particle inspection, ferrography, spectrometric oil analysis) Servicing inspections (except 1E2) - Examples of inspections/checks carried out Inspection "after the last flight of the day" Inspection "before the first flight of the day" "Pre-flight" inspections "Post-flight" inspections. Servicing inspections (1E2) - Vibration level check: the vibration level of the rotating assemblies gives an indication of the engine's condition - Inspection before the first flight of the day - Inspection between two flights - Inspection after 15 flight hours or 7 days. - Power check: this is carried out by the pilot (refer to the Flight Manual) Periodic inspections - 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) - Visits are scheduled as a function of flight hours (e.g.: every 500 hours) or calendar (e.g.: 2 years) - Special inspections (particular inspections et inspections according to airworthiness). - Visual inspections: direct visual inspections can also be carried out for "on-condition" monitoring. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE The aim of corrective maintenance 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 (in the event of a failure, anomaly, etc.) and which are defined in chapter 71 of the Maintenance Manual. If an engine, module or accessory is put into storage, this calendar period is suspended.

Therefore, States shall in turn require that individual operators, maintenance organisations, ATS providers and certified aerodrome operators implement a Safety Management System (SMS) that is approved by the State concerned. The ICAO provides a Safety Management Manual (SMM) which explains the implementation of an SMS (see below for details). HUMAN FACTORS The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requires that aviation maintenance personnel receive training on Human Factors (HF). Such personnel must therefore have initial HF training, followed by regular refresher training. The ICAO SHEL(L) model below is a conceptual model representing the different components involved in human factors, and is intended as a basic aid to understanding HF: For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training Software - The rules, procedures, written documents, etc., which are part of standard procedures Hardware - Tools, equipment, workshops, hangars Environment - The situation in which the SHEL(L) system must function, the social and economic climate as well as the natural environment Liveware - Human beings (engineers, technicians, aircrew, managers and administrative personnel) The edges of the blocks representing these components 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 - Liveware - Hardware - Liveware - Environment - Liveware - Liveware Depending on the persons concerned, EASA Part 145 recommends 1 to 3 days' initial training on HF, and further training every 2 years.

The axial compressor ensures a first stage of compression to supercharge the centrifugal compressor. Functional description Position The axial compressor ensures a first stage of compression in order to supercharge the centrifugal compressor. - At the front of the engine (the axial compressor assembly forms the module M02). Compressor airflow Main characteristics - Type: axial supercharging compressor - Airflow: 2.5 kg/sec (5.5 lb/sec.) The ambient air, admitted through the air intake duct and guided by the inlet cone, flows between the blades of the axial compressor wheel. The air is discharged rearwards with an increased axial velocity. - Wheel made of titanium, cut from the solid. The air then flows through the vanes of the diffuser. Due to the divergent passage, the air velocity decreases and the pressure increases. Main components The flow is straightened by the stator vanes before being admitted, through an annular duct, to the centrifugal compressor. - Rotating components: • Air inlet cone • Axial wheel • Shaft • Bearing • Accessory drive shaft Note: In order to avoid compressor surge, a valve discharges overboard a certain amount of air in certain operating conditions. - Rotation speed: N1; ACW For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training Edition: May 2014 3.6 ENGINE Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page) Training information only delivered during a Turbomeca Training course and not updated after the course (refer to the FOREWORD page) PRESENTATION Training Notes 1st line maintenance course Type: Axial supercharging compressor Airflow: 2.5 kg/s (5.5 lb/sec.)

The compressor supplies the compressed air required for combustion. Functional description Supercharged by the axial compressor, it ensures the second stage of compression. The centrifugal compressor ensures the main stage of compression. Position Compressor airflow - At the front of the module M03. The air supplied by the axial compressor flows between the blades of the centrifugal compressor. The air pressure increases due to the divergent passage between the blades and the air velocity increases due to the centrifugal flow. Main characteristics - Type: centrifugal, high efficiency - Airflow: 2.5 kg/s (5.5 lb/sec.) - Compression ratio: 5.4/1 (global: 8.2/1) - Rotation speed: N1; ACW - Wheel made of titanium, cut from the solid. 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 decreased and the pressure is increased. The air then passes through an elbow and the flow becomes axial. In the 2nd stage diffuser, the velocity is again decreased and the pressure increased.

Expansion Compression During this phase, the pressure and temperature of the gases drop, whilst their velocity increases. The ambient air is compressed by a supercharging axial compressor and a centrifugal compressor. The gases expand through the gas generator turbine, which extracts the energy required to drive the compressors and accessories. This phase is essentially characterised by the airflow (approx. 2.5 kg/s; 5.5 lb/s), the increase in temperature and the compression ratio (approx. 8.2). There is a further phase of expansion through the power turbine, which extracts most of the remaining energy to drive the output shaft. Combustion After the power turbine, the gases are discharged overboard through the exhaust pipe, giving a slight forward residual thrust. The compressed air is admitted into the combustion chamber, mixed with the fuel and burnt in a continuous process. Power transmission The air is divided into two flows: The power is transmitted forwards by a reduction gearbox and an external transmission shaft. - A primary flow for combustion - A secondary flow for dilution and cooling of the gases. This phase is essentially characterised by an increase in temperature (flame temperature approx. 2500°C; 4532°F) and a drop in pressure of about 4%.

A pressure-relief valve limits the maximum pressure by returning oil to the pressure pump inlet above a certain pressure. The oil is then delivered through a check valve, the oil filter and a calibrated orifice to the parts of the engine which require lubrication: - Gas generator front bearings Scavenge 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 the oil cooler (dry sump system). Strainers protect the scavenge pumps against any particles which may be in the oil. A check valve, located downstream of the scavenge pumps, prevents any oil flow from the oil tank to the engine when the pressure is very low (engine stopped). - Gas generator rear bearing Magnetic plugs attract and retain any magnetic particles which may be in the oil. - Power turbine bearings Breathing - Reduction gearbox The air/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. - Accessory gearbox and torquemeter (supply upstream of the calibrated orifice). The oil is sprayed by jets onto the parts to be lubricated. The gas generator rear bearing has a direct air vent. Indication The system provides the following indications: pressure, temperature, low pressure, electrical magnetic plug and filter pre-blockage.

Position All the components making up the system are internal parts of the engine, except for the power turbine labyrinth seal pressurisation pipe, which is an external pipe. Main characteristics - Type: pressurised air tappings with a calibrated flow Air tapped from the centrifugal compressor is used to pressurise the labyrinth seal on the shaft. The air from the centrifugal compressor outlet flows through the hollow nozzle guide vanes (1st stage) and through holes in the shroud. It is used to: - Cool the nozzle guide vane and the front face of the gas generator turbine - Cool the front and rear faces of the gas generator turbines (discharging into the gas flow) - Pressurise the labyrinth seals of the gas generator rear bearing (small flow into the bearing housing) and the injection wheel. - Airflow: approx. 2% of the total engine flow. The centrifugal compressor casing is fitted with air tapping points. This air is called clean air as it is out of the main air flow stream. Note: The internal air system is also referred to as the secondary air system. Power turbine section Functional description The internal air system can be divided into 3 sections: 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 Air tapped from the combustion chamber (P2 air) is taken by an external pipe to the reduction gearbox casing (except on post TU356 1E2 and 1S versions: the air is tapped from the compressor bleed valve control air tapping union). 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. A circulation of P0 air, induced by venturi effect, cools the gas generator rear bearing chamber, and then flows through the power turbine nozzle guide vanes, cooling them and then joins the gas flow.

Position 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. - In the system: between the axial and centrifugal compressors - On the engine: at the top of the counter-casing. Main characteristics - Type: pneumatic or electro-pneumatic (according to version) - Control: • by P2/P0 pressure ratio (pneumatic type) • as a function of N1 (electro-pneumatic type). Note: The air can be discharged under the cowling in order to improve cooling of the engine compartment.

When the N1 reaches 96% the tachometer box closes the electrical contact which actuates the control electro-valve to the open position. P2 pressure pushes the piston which closes the bleed valve. Tachometer box It operates a relay controlled by a speed signal from the N1 tachometer transmitter. Control electro-valve It admits P2 air to close the valve when it is electrically supplied. Opening When the N1 decreases below 94%, the tachometer box opens the electrical contact and the spring moves the electro-valve to the closed position. The spring pushes the piston which opens the bleed valve. Bleed valve It includes a spring loaded piston subjected to P2 pressure. The piston operates the valve.

The pump assembly supplies fuel under determined conditions of pressure and flow. Main characteristics Operation Fuel pump - Type: spur gears - Rotation speed: proportional to N1 speed. The pump receives fuel from the aircraft LP system. The fuel is drawn in by the pump, it passes between the gears and the casing and is forced out under pressure. Description Pressure-relief valve - Pressure-relief valve setting: 3300 kPa (478.5 PSI) The assembly comprises the pressure pump and the pressurerelief valve. Fuel pump If the pump outlet pressure exceeds a given value, the pressure relief valve will open and allow fuel to return to the pump inlet thus limiting the maximum pressure in the system. It is a spur-gear pump which has a drive gear and a driven gear, the drive gear being driven by the accessory drive via the pump drive shaft which is a quill shaft. The shaft is sealed by two lip seals, with a drain between them which prevent fuel from entering the accessory gearbox. Pressure-reducing valve The pump is supplied with fuel from the aircraft system. When pump outlet pressure increases the diaphragm moves up, reducing the valve opening and thus maintaining a constant downstream pressure. Pressure-relief valve It is a conical valve held closed by a spring during normal operation. For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training The diaphragm is subjected to fuel pressure on one side opposed by spring pressure on the other side. The position of the diaphragm determines the position of the valve.

The stop purge valve controls the fuel supply to the injection wheel: - Fuel supply during starting and in operation - Fuel shut-off and draining of the injection wheel during shutdown. It is associated with an electro-valve for a rapid engine shutdown in the event of power turbine overspeed (only on twinengine aircraft). Position - Lower left side of the combustion chamber casing. Main characteristics Pressurising valve setting: 180 kPa (26.1 PSI). Main components As soon as the fuel pressure is sufficient to open the pressurising valve, the pressure is admitted under the diaphragm which causes the closing of the purge valve and the opening of the fuel supply valve. The fuel flows to the injection wheel and is sprayed into the combustion chamber. During shut-down The normal stop selection (closing of the main valve by the control lever) results in a decrease of injection pressure. The pressurising valve closes, the pressure decreases below the diaphragm which causes the supply valve to close (as the direct pump pressure increases) and the purge valve to open: draining of fuel to prevent blockage of the distributor by carbonization of the remaining fuel. The fuel is returned to the tank (post TU 262). When the engine is completely stopped, the purge valve closes under the force of its spring (see detail). Overspeed shut-down (twin-engine configuration) Engine shut-down can also be commanded by the electro-valve which, when opened, causes the pressure to decrease below the diaphragm and the valve to move down (shut-down in case of power turbine overspeed; only in twin-engine configuration). - Pressurising valve - Stop purge valve (dual valve) - Overspeed electro-valve.

Purge before start Position Upper part of the combustion chamber casing. Fuel injection Main characteristics - Re-injection prohibit pressure switch setting: approx. 52% N1 - Start purge valve setting: • opening at 5 kPa (0.725 PSI) When starting is selected, the fuel pump pressure increases rapidly and closes the purge valve, the electro-valve is energised open and the fuel supplied by the engine pump flows to the 2 injectors which spray it into the combustion chamber. The fuel is then ignited by the sparks of the igniter plugs. Ventilation of the start injectors • closing at 120 kPa (17.4 PSI). Description - Start electro-valve - P2 ball valve - Re-injection prohibit pressure switch - Start purge valve (with cover and a support drain, according to versions). For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training During the initial phase of starting, the fuel supplied from the aircraft system flows into the FCU, through the non-return valve to the start purge valve which opens and returns the fuel to the tank. The purpose of this phase is to expel any air which may be in the system. At the end of starting, the supply to the electro-valve is cut and the valve closes. The air under compressor pressure P2 (which has increased in the meantime) lifts the ball of the valve and flows to ventilate the injectors. This ventilation continues as long as the engine operates to prevent blockage of the injectors by carbonization of the remaining fuel. The P2 pressure actuates the pressure switch to prevent any re-injection which could cause a flame-out by suddenly reducing fuel flow to the injection wheel.

Position - On the engine: inside the combustion chamber. The injection wheel is mounted between the centrifugal compressor and the turbine shaft. The distributor is bolted to the diffuser backplate. Operation The fuel is delivered to the distributor by the internal supply pipe. Main characteristics It passes through the distributor's axial holes into the chamber in the injection wheel. - Type: centrifugal injection 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. - Radial fuel supply. Description Combustion chamber fuel inlet union Fitted at the lower right front face of the compressor casing, it has a plug to test the sealing of the union. Internal supply pipe This pipe connects the inlet union to the fuel distributor. It is fitted between the front swirl plate and the diffuser back-plate. For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training This assembly consists of a stationary distributor and a wheel. The distributor, fitted onto the diffuser back-plate, is drilled with axial holes which deliver the fuel to the wheel. The injection wheel, mounted by curvic-couplings between the compressor and the turbine shaft, is drilled with radial holes which form the fuel spraying jets. Sealing between the distributor and the wheel is achieved by pressurised labyrinth seals. 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. The centrifugal 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 stop purge valve.

The fuel flow is controlled by the movement of the control lever. At 45% N1, the start accessories are de-energised by releasing the start button and the start injectors are ventilated by P2 air pressure. At 52% N1, P2 pressure opens the reinjection prohibit pressure switch to avoid an accidental fuel re-injection, which could cause engine flame-out. - The stop purge valve is in its injection position - The start electro-valve is closed. Fuel system air purge During the initial phase of starting, the fuel supplied from the airframe system flows into the FCU, through the non-return valve and to the start purge valve which opens and returns the fuel to the tank. The purpose of this phase is to expel any air which may be in the system.

The metering needle position is determined by the hydromechanical control system. The fuel pump always supplies more fuel than the engine requires. The excess fuel returns to the pump inlet through the constant ∆P valve. The start injectors are continuously ventilated by P2 air circulation. Manual control The manual control is used for starting and stopping the engine. It can also be used in case of a control system failure. Engine shut-down The lever is pulled fully rearward, closing the main valve which cuts the fuel flow to the engine, causing it to run down and stop.

Thus, the gas generator adapts automatically to the requirements (N1 demand) to maintain constant power turbine rotation speed N2 whilst keeping all the other parameters within determined limits. This adaptation is illustrated by: - The diagram W/N2 which illustrates the power W, the max. torque TRQ and the rotation speeds N1 and N2 - The diagram N1/N2 which illustrates the N1/N2 relationship. - Limitation of the gas generator rotation speed N1: • Max.

The spring attempts to open the metering valve and is opposed by the centrifugal force generated by the flyweight. At a stabilised rating, the system is in equilibrium: the force exerted by the spring is equal to the centrifugal force (Fs = Fc). There is therefore a given fuel flow and a nominal rating. In a transient rating, e.g. when the engine rpm decreases (due to the increase in the resisting torque), the centrifugal force decreases. The force exerted by the spring therefore becomes the greater of the two and opens the metering valve. This increases the engine rpm until the equilibrium is re-established (Fs = Fc). Although the equilibrium has been re-established, the spring is now less compressed than at the previous engine rpm. It therefore exerts less force, which leads to a slight reduction in the nominal engine rpm. In this type of control system, the N1 speed is made to be inversely proportional to the N2. The relationship between N1 and N2 illustrates this proportionality and the variation in N2 is referred to as "static droop". As the largest load variations are caused by changes in collective pitch, a link between the collective pitch lever and the governor allows the system to compensate for the static droop. In addition, the detection phase is brought forward (hence the name "anticipator") to reduce the response time. To do this, a cam is added to compress the spring so that it exerts the same force in all collective pitch positions. The diagram shows the apparent static-droop line for different collective pitch positions (anticipator effect): In the diagram: θ1 = fine pitch, θ2 = medium pitch, θ3 = coarse pitch. In operation, points 1, 2 and 3 are obtained and the static droop is therefore compensated for, i.e. the power turbine speed and therefore the rotor speed are almost constant in all operating conditions. In transient ratings, the power turbine speed varies, but the governor acts to bring it very quickly back to its nominal value, to within the value of the static droop. Note: The static droop is slightly overcompensated. Although the "static droop" ensures the stability of the system, it is not acceptable because the helicopter rotor requires one constant rotation speed.

It determines a speed datum (N1*) which is a function of the difference measured. The gas generator governor compares the datum speed (N1*) and the actual speed (N1) and meters the fuel to maintain the datum speed, thus matching the gas generator to the conditions. The acceleration control unit limits the transient fuel flow (WF) variations in relation to P2 pressure so as to prevent compressor surge while permitting quick response times.

This integral type governor controls the datum speed demanded by the power turbine governor. It achieves this control by metering the fuel flow. In stabilized conditions, the flyweight centrifugal force balances the datum spring force. The lever is in a fixed position in front of the potentiometric jet. The reduced pressure flows to the low pressure and a modulated pressure is established in the chamber. The amplifier piston (subjected to a reference pressure on one side and to the modulated pressure on the other side) determines the N1 datum transmitted to the gas generator governor by a lever and a plunger. Transient conditions, the anticipator modifies the spring force while the centrifugal force changes. The lever pivots and moves in front of the potentiometric jet thus altering the leak and therefore changing the modulated pressure. The amplifier piston then moves and, by means of the lever and plunger, sets a new datum on the gas generator governor. The gas generator adapts itself to the new condition until the balance is regained. In stabilized conditions, the flyweight centrifugal force balances the force of the datum spring. The lever is in a fixed position and the valve determines a given modulated pressure. The working piston controls a given position of the metering needle which meters the fuel flow to obtain the required rotation speed. The system is "in balance". In transient conditions, we have seen that the power turbine governor determines a new datum which upsets the balance. The lever moves, the leak varies and consequently the modulated pressure. The working piston moves the metering needle until the new N1 datum is obtained. The gas generator speed increases or decreases, thus regulating engine output power to match the load and obtain a constant power turbine speed. Thermal compensator The thermal compensator moves the potentiometric jet as a function of the fuel temperature, which slightly modifies the modulated pressure, thus maintaining the max. N1 speed constant.

In some versions, a deceleration control unit (or min flow limiter) is included in the metering unit to prevent flame-out during deceleration. In stabilized conditions, there is a gap between the fork and the metering needle. The position of the metering needle is determined by the working piston. In load increase transient conditions, the governor "responds" and the working piston moves rapidly. Under the action of its spring, the metering needle opens until it stops against the fork. This displacement represents what is called "instant flow increase" initiating the acceleration. Then the subsequent increase in P2 pressure causes the deformation of the capsule which permits further opening of the metering needle until it comes into contact with the working piston. For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training In load decrease transient conditions, the closing of the metering needle is limited by a mechanical stop. This mechanical stop is controlled by a diaphragm subjected to P2 pressure. The stop withdraws as the P2 pressure decreases in order to prevent engine flame-out during rapid deceleration.

Graph of fuel flow (WF) as a function of metering valve position (S): each position corresponds to a fuel flow and each displacement ∆S corresponds to a proportional flow variation ∆WF. The fuel under pump pressure flows through the passage determined by the needle sliding in the orifice. Constant ∆P valve To obtain a fuel flow solely dependent on the metering valve position, the constant ∆P valve keeps a constant pressure difference across the metering valve. It consists of a diaphragm subjected to pressure variation. Any variation of pressure difference (∆P) is detected by this valve, which returns more or less fuel to the pump inlet. In fact, the pump always supplies more fuel than the engine requires, and the excess fuel is returned to the pump inlet by this valve. The ∆P transient variations are due to the pump pressure variations, to the downstream pressure variations and of course to the displacement of the metering valve. For example: when the metering valve opens, the pressure difference decreases, the ∆P valve diaphragm senses this and moves to close the return. More fuel is admitted to the engine, the upstream pressure increases and the nominal ∆P is regained.

Max. speed It is automatically limited by an adjustable mechanical stop which represents the max operating rating. MTOP-Max.

Contingency Power in the case of engine failure during take-off or landing of a twin engine helicopter (OEI 2 min. 30 sec.) The effect of fuel temperature on the speed (variation of fuel viscosity changing the balance point of the hydromechanical governor) is compensated by the capsule in order to obtain speed invariability (especially max. N1). A slight max. N1 variation is however introduced but within given limits. For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training It is limited by an adjustable mechanical stop to avoid low speeds corresponding to critical ratings. In operation, this limit is practically never reached because, even at zero torque, the power to drive the compressor requires a higher speed. Therefore, the stop is only a safety measure and it is only adjusted on the FCU test rig. Limits of fuel flow Fuel flow variation in transient conditions is limited by the acceleration control unit to obtain an optimum acceleration without compressor surge. The acceleration rate determines the response time. The slope of acceleration is only adjustable on the test rig. The min. fuel flow (limit to prevent flame-out) is limited by a mechanical stop on the metering needle. In some versions, this stop is variable with P2 pressure; it is also called the deceleration control unit. The max. fuel flow is determined by the full opening of the metering needle for a given pressure difference ∆P. It is a factory adjustment which represents a sort of power limitation. In manual control (emergency control), the max. fuel flow is limited at a lower value to avoid exceeding of the limits.

The flight manual indicates the torque limits: also see chapter "indication" of this manual for details of the torque measuring system. Power turbine overspeed detection system This detection system is not included in the control unit but is often mentioned among the functions of the engine control system. The overspeed detection system is designed mainly to take into account the case of shaft failure resulting in a very sudden acceleration which cannot be contained by the speed governor. The system includes a speed detector, a tachometer box, the overspeed electro-valve and the stop purge valve. The system is currently only used on twin-engine versions.

The following can be distinguished: - The response time It is the transient speed variation occurring during a load variation. The amplitude of this variation can be observed on the rotor speed indicator; it is related to the other characteristics. Static variation of power turbine speed - The static and dynamic power turbine speed variations It can be defined as the speed variation at different ratings. This static variation (a static droop which is slightly overcompensated) can be checked by noting NR speed at different operating points (eg: ground fine pitch and cruise pitch). With the increase of power, the NR increases slightly within given limits. - The max. speed of the gas generator. Response time It can be defined as the time required to regain power turbine nominal speed in transient conditions. The response time is closely associated to the rate of acceleration of the gas generator. A check of the response time can be made by recording parameters during a load application. It is less than 4 seconds between N1 min. and max. in standard conditions. For training purposes only © Copyright - Turbomeca Training Dynamic variation of power turbine speed Max. available speed of the gas generator It is the max. speed that can be obtained from the gas generator (take-off on single engine and max. contingency on twin engine). This rating can be checked on a load application, noting the max speed obtained when the rotor speed starts decreasing.

As the power is closely related to the N1 speed and as the efficiency does not vary much from one power turbine to another, a fairly good load sharing is obtained. Operation on one engine In this case, the engine remaining in operation supplies the power while the other one is disconnected by the free wheel. The limit of the operative engine is represented by the max. contingency rating automatically limited by the fuel control unit. This rating, determined for engine failure during take-off or landing, has a limited duration: 2 min. 30 sec.

Position - All the system components are located on the engine, except for the torque indicator. The reaction torque is transformed into an axial force on the reduction gearbox intermediate gear. The force is transmitted to a piston which determines an oil flow modulating a pressure representative of the torque. The pressure is transformed into electrical current supplied to the indicator by a transmitter. Torquemeter operation - Type: hydraulic torquemeter The torque on the output shaft is transmitted to the reduction gearbox. The intermediate gear, which has helical teeth, transmits the axial force to the piston, via the stop bearing. Description The movement of the intermediate gear/piston assembly varies the oil flow between the piston and the tube base. Main characteristics The torquemeter piston is fitted in the intermediate gear of the reduction gearbox on a stop bearing. This pressure variation is felt by the torque transmitter. The head of the piston fits into a cavity in the reduction gearbox front casing. An oil tube passes through the hollow shaft of the piston and forms a passage between the piston and the tube base. Oil from the torquemeter system can pass through this passage.

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.

It is more a method of work than a testing in the traditional sense. Several types of questionnaire can be used during a course: - Traditional written questionnaires - "Short answer" questionnaires Objectives of the questionnaires The questionnaires allow progressive assimilation and longterm retention of knowledge. The questionnaires are a subject for discussion (effects of group dynamics). They also allow trainees to consider important subjects several times from different points of view. - Multiple-Choice Questionnaires (MCQ) - Oral questionnaires - Learning Through Teaching (LTT): the trainee has to explain a given subject. Integration into the training programme Examination - First hour every day for revision of the subjects previously studied The final examination at the end of the course consists of three tests: written, oral and practical. A course certificate is given to each trainee. - After each chapter (or module) of the course - At the end of the training course.
