ENGINE DRAINS
Description
The drains system collects and discards unused fuel and other fluids that can
leak from certain engine units and from certain engine areas.
The drain system collects leakage from the following systems:
S Fuel
S Oil
S Hydraulic
Other Drains
There is a pipe from the lower splitter fairing in Zone 2, to allow drainage
overboard in the event of leakage or water ingestion. This drain exits through a
hole in the Cduct latch access panel between latches 1 & 2.
The turbine case drain is provided to drain any residual fuel left in the turbine
area following a wet crank or start attempt when the engine fails to light up.
The drain pipe exits through a hole in the Cduct latch access panel just to the
rear of latch 6.
A duct incorporated within the interservice bifurcation panel provides drainage
from Zone 3 through a hole in the C duct latch access panel between latches 1
and 2
There are also forward and rear pylon drains which drain fluid overboard
through holes in the latch access panel just to the rear of latch 6.
Oil Drains
Drain lines take oil from the following components to the drains mast:
S Oil tank filler scupper
S Air starter mounting pad
S Variable Frequency Generator (VFG)
Hydraulic System
Drain lines take hydraulic fluid to the drains mast from the inboard and
outboard hydraulic pump mounting pads and pump seal cavity.

Drain System Leakage Rates
To be sure that an engine operates correctly, the leakage rates at drain mast
have to be monitored, checked and measured. The leakage rates for each
system have to be within the acceptable limits specified by the engine
manufacturer. If this is not the case, further troubleshooting is necessary to
identify the source of the leak.

DRAINS TANK OPERATION
Unlike previous RB211 / Trent designs there is no dedicated drain line from the
fuel spray nozzle manifold. When the HMU drains valve is opened, fuel is
drained directly from the main HP fuel line.
When the engine is shut down, or after failure to start on the ground, fuel is
drained from the fuel manifold. As fuel flows into the tank air is released
through the outlet tube.
After a number of failed starts, the tank can become full of drained fuel; this
fuel is then discharged through the outlet tube to the drains mast.
During normal operation, fuel in the drains tank lifts the float valve and moves it
to the open position. During engine starting LP fuel flows through the ejector,
this will lower the fuel pressure in the ejector to less than that in the tank and
the nonreturn valve opens. This allows fuel to be removed from the tank and
routed to the inlet side of the LP pump.
When the fuel in the tank falls to a certain level the float valve closes
preventing air being introduced into the LP fuel supply.

PYLON ELECTRICAL DISCONNECTS
There are 18 separate harness electrical connectors between the engine /
nacelle mounted components and the pylon. The connectors are keyed to
correctly align the connector with its mating receptacle and to prevent cross
connection.
The powerplant harnesses are colour coded by having braids of different
colours, known as tracer colours. These are used to identify the harness and
follow its route. They also assist in identifying the FADEC systems harnesses
from those of other systems.
The illustration opposite shows the harness numbers and the pylon connectors
to which they attach. It also shows the units which are connected by each
harness.

INTERMEDIATE CASE
The intermediate case is one of the major structural parts of the engine and
made from two titanium cylindrical casings, which are welded together. In the
rear half, behind the weld, there are ten equally spaced radial struts, which
support an inner structure. The IP and HP location bearings and the internal
gearbox are attached to the inner structure. Two lugs on the rear case, above
the radial struts, transmit engine thrust through struts to the airframe pylon.
The front part of the intermediate case has a stronger area at the top, which
includes lugs for the attachment of the front engine mount. Above and below
the centerline there are symmetrical positions for the installation of the A
frame struts. The two A frame struts on each side of the case align with the
installation point on each side of the LP compressor case. Below the engine
horizontal center line on the intermediate case, there are borescope access
holes, which align with related holes in the compressor cases.
The radial struts, which have an aerofoil shape, are hollow. Some of the vanes
contain tubes, which supply oil to and from the internal gearbox. The external
gearbox drive shaft, which transmits power to the External Gearbox (EGB), is
in one of the struts. Other struts supply compressor air to cool the HP/IP and
LPT bearing chambers and seal the EGB accessory mount pads.
The front part of the intermediate case is installed around the Stage 5 to 8 case
and is connected to a flange around the middle of the stage 1 to 4 case. The
rear part of the intermediate case is installed around the front part of the HP
compressor case. The rear of the intermediate case is connected to the
combustion outer case. There is also a bayonet connection from an internal
flange at the rear of the intermediate case to the HP compressor case. Inner
and outer walls make an annulus, through which the air flows from the IP
compressor to the HP compressor.

liners, which touch the fins of the interstage seals between the rotor discs.
The LP turbine shaft goes forward through the center of the IP shaft and
connects with the LP compressor shaft with splines.
The tail bearing housing support structure includes a hub that is held concentric
in an outer case by 14 radial hollow vanes. Some of the vanes contain tubes
that supply oil to and from the bearing housing. There is also a supply of IP 8
air to cool and seal the bearing.
One of the vanes has a pressure inlet in the leading edge to measure LP
turbine outlet pressure (P50). LP turbine outlet pressure is used for health
monitoring. The front flange of the case is attached with bolts to the rear flange
of the LP turbine case. At the rear flange to the primary exhaust nozzle around
the case are two flanges to increase the strength. Attached to these flanges, at
the top, is the rear mount.

EXTERNAL GEARBOX
Description
The external gearbox is a onepiece aluminium gearcase. It is installed on the
lower part of the LP compressor case. The gearbox assembly transmits power
from the engine to provide drives for the accessories mounted on the gearbox
front and rear faces. During engine starting the gearbox also transmits power
from the air starter motor to the engine.
The gearbox also provides a means of hand turning the HP rotor system for
maintenance purposes.
The gearbox is driven from the HP rotor via a transmission system, consisting
of an Intermediate gearbox (stepaside gearbox), an external gearbox drive
shaft (radial drive) and lower bevel gearbox.
The drive shafts for the installed accessories are sealed by noncontact air
blown labyrinth seals fed with IP8 air. All the accessory interfaces are protected
by a drains system.

Description
The procedure is fully described in the AMM 720000 and is briefly described
below:
Follow all applicable Warnings and Cautions.
Note:
Depending upon the outside air temperature the washing fluid is a mixture of
demineralized water, washing fluid (OM1070) and monopropylene glycol
(OM - 1076). Follow the AMM procedure for the applicable ratios.
S Use a clean lintfree cloth soaked in the cleaning solution to clean the LP
compressor blades. Makesure you apply the cleaning solution to the front
andthe aft of the blades, and that the blade to becleaned is at bottom dead
center.
S Let the cleaning solution stay on the surface of theblades for 15 minutes.
S Use a clean lintfree cloth soaked in demineralized or distilled water to
remove the cleaning solution fromthe surface of the blades
S Examine the blades for dirty areas
S If they are not sufficiently clean, repeat the cleaning procedure again
S Repeat this process for the fan OGV s.
NOTE:
1. It is important that the fan blades are cleaned at bottom dead center to
avoid any dirt migrating into the blade dovetail root area.
2. Most the dirt tends to stay on the suction face (rear) of the fan blade and
particular attention should be given to this area.
3. Mix the washing fluid at regular 30 minute intervals

FADEC FUNCTIONS:
Introduction
A Full Authority Digital Engine Control system (FADEC), together with the
aircraft systems, provides control for engine starting, shut down, power
management and engine instrumentation
The FADEC system is made of subsystems working together to form a closed
loop control system, maintaining efficient engine operation. The two channel
Engine Electronic Controller (EEC) uses embedded software to control
functions. It also has segregated and duplicated electrical circuits for engine
sensors, actuators and digital data busses to aircraft systems.
FADEC is used for engine control of the following:
S Fuel Metering Valve
S Minimum pressure and shutoff valve
S VSV actuators
S Handling bleed valves
S Ignition
S Starting: starter control valve and pneumatic starter
S Turbine Case Cooling
S Hydraulic pump offload solenoid (request to A/C system)
S Thrust Reverser (request to A/C system),
S Control engine start - pneumatic starter sequence, ignition, fuel & hydraulic
pump offload (as necessary).
S Control fuel and airflow to provide steady state and transient response for
all environmental conditions.
S Schedule engine power levels as necessary for aircraft operation.
S Schedule thrust reverser deploy and stow control
S Provide limit protection for N1, N2, N3, & P30 (plus EGT during ground
automatic start)
S Provide HP, IP & LP turbine tip clearance control
S Shutoff fuel in the event of an N1 or N2 overspeed or LP shaft breakage

Physical Description
The EEC is bolted through 4 antivibration mounts at each corner of the EEC
housing, to the mount brackets on the fan case. The EEC is grounded and
protected against Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI).
The unit has two almost identical housings, which contain the EEC channels, A
and B. Each control housing contains the power supply/input circuits, pressure
sensors and EEC channel circuits. The two EEC channels are isolated from
each other.
The power supply/input circuits regulate power for each channel of the EEC
from the aircraft and dedicated generator inputs. Each channel is provided with
a stable DC input.
There are 17 electrical receptacles on the EEC housing, 9 on the channel A
housing and 8 on the channel B housing. They connect to the mating
connectors from the aircraft and engine systems. They are keyed to prevent
incorrect fitment. The Data Entry Plug (DEP) receptacle is located on the
Channel B housing at the top of the EEC. The EEC harnesses are colour
coded, yellow stripes -ChA, green stripes - ChB.
Functional Description
The EEC is a microprocessor controlled digital unit, which has two channels of
operation, identified as Channel A and Channel B. Each channel is supplied
with inputs from the aircraft, FADEC system and cockpit sources. Each
channel can monitor and control the operation of the engine using torque
motors, solenoids and relays and transmit engine data to the aircraft. The EEC
also maintains and supplies data for fault analysis and output to other systems
on the aircraft.
One channel is the control computer (channel in control) while the other
channel is the standby computer. The control computer can access the input
interfaces of the standby computer and would stay in control if a related input
becomes defective. If there is a failure of the control computer circuits or power
supply, then control would be given to the standby computer, which then
becomes the control computer. The channel in control is normally alternated on
each engine run to make sure the circuits are used and to minimise the risk of
dormant faults. During start, between starter cutout and idle, the EEC will
select a channel change using the following selection procedure (in priority):
S If one channel has defects then the channel with no defects will get control.
S If both channels have defects, the channel in control when the defects are
found, will stay in control.

NOTE:
TPR Trim
The necessary TPR trim is calculated during the engine test to make the TPR
indications (at the cockpit) the same for all engines of the same build standard.
And changes the calibration of the engine thrust to TPR relation. This relation
can be different for each engine because of the manufacturing tolerances. The
data stored in the DEP gives the EEC the level of trim that is necessary for the
engine.
EGT Trim
The EGT trim factors the actual engine EGT to a lower value for display in the
cockpit. The EGT trim is calculated from data obtained during the engine
manufacturers type test to align approved EGT levels with the cockpit
indications.
Idle Trim
The EEC can trim the idle speeds for minimum and approach idle, as
necessary, for the aircraft operation. The data stored in the DEP gives the EEC
the trim levels that are necessary for this function.

DEDICATED ALTERNATOR
Location
The unit is installed on the external gearbox front face and driven by direct
drive from the HP shaft (N3).
NOTE:
Purpose
The purpose of the Dedicated Alternator is to provide the main source of power
to the EEC and provide a speed reference signal of the HP shaft speed (N3).
Description
The EEC dedicated alternator supplies threephase power for each EEC
Channel during engine operation. The alternator has four independent
windings, two isolated threephase outputs to operate the control electronics
and two singlephase outputs to supply the N3 speed for monitoring, control
and overspeed sensing.
A satisfactory power output is available to the EEC from the alternator at N3
speeds higher than approximately 8 percent. At N3 speeds between 5 and 8
percent the power supply to the EEC is from the alternator and the 115V AC
aircraft standby power.
The alternator is the assembly of a rotor and a stator.
The rotor is a cylinder, which contains a set of permanent magnets (below the
surface). It is assembled to the related output shaft on the gearbox module.
The stator is an outer cover, which contains two electrical windings in an
aluminium stator housing.
The rotor is aligned with the windings in the stator housing when the two parts
are assembled to the gearbox module. An electrical current is magnetically
induced in these windings when the rotor is turned.
Two electrical connectors (Ch A & Ch B) are attached to the bottom side of the
stator. The harness routing is to the EEC where they connect to their related
EEC Channels.
When the engine HP shaft turns it causes the gears in the external gearbox
module to turn. This causes the alternator rotor to turn. An electrical alternating
current then flows through the stator windings and alternator output harnesses.
The frequency of these voltages is in proportion to the N3 shaft speed.
At engine speeds higher than 8 percent N3, the output from the alternator only
is sufficient for the EEC to use (as regulated by the EEC power supply circuits).

Component Location
The following components are fitted in the system:
S The LP shaft phonic wheel (60 teeth) is installed to the rear of the roller
bearing inner race.
S The IP shaft phonic wheel (60 teeth) is installed on the IP compressor front
stubshaft.
S Four LP speed probes installed in the front bearing housing
S Four IP speed probes installed in the front bearing housing.
S Dedicated alternator installed on the front face of the external gearbox.
Description
N1 & N2 shaft speeds are measured using probes that interact with phonic
wheels. The output from the speed probes is sent to Channel A and Channel B
in the EEC. Two speed probes on each shaft output to Channel A and the other
two speed probes on each shaft output to Channel B.
N3 speed is supplied by the dedicated alternator, which is turned by the
gearbox and HP rotor. There are two separate single phase N3 speed windings
in the dedicated alternator which provide the N3 speed to both channel A and
channel B of the EEC. The EEC uses these speed inputs to facilitate speed
monitoring, engine control and overspeed sensing.
The EEC sends digital N1, N2, and N3 signals to the Aircraft for indication.
In the unlikely event of total loss of speed signals, the EEC generates a
synthesised N1 and N2 to support cockpit indication and N3 to maintain
transient control.

System Operation
Each channel of the EEC has a hardware protection system incorporated in it,
which is separate from the other EEC control functions.
Comparators are used to determine if an overspeed or TCM have exceeded
the threshold values. If set, a fuel shutoff or reduction command is sent to both
protection PALs (Programmable Array Logic) from the channel that has
detected the condition. The first set of this channels torque rail enable switches
are closed. The protection PAL determines if there is a request from the
opposite channel for fuel shutdown or reduction and if so, closes the second
set of enable switches. Combinational logic is then used to set the current
command required for fuel reduction or shutdown to the protection motor in the
Hydromechanical Unit (HMU).
In normal operation both sets of enable switches need to be closed before the
Protection system outputs to the protection motor in the HMU. In degraded
operation (power supply or processor failure), shutdown or fuel reduction can
be activated by one set of enable switches.

P20/T20 PROBE
Description
The P20/T20 probe is installed inside the air intake cowl at 150 to right of top
dead centre when viewed from rear. The probe measures both engine intake
pressure and temperature.
T20
Temperature T20 is measured by two independent platinum resistance
elements. A small amount of air passes over the elements, whilst the rest of
the air passes straight through the probe. The two elements are wired one to
each channel of the EEC. The system performs compensation for probe self
heating effects and the change to measured temperature caused by the probe
heater. The EEC also carries out fault detection on the compensated values.
P20
The pressure signal offtake is just above where the main airstream flows
through the probe. A pipe passes through the body to the pressure connector
on the base plate and a single pipe connects the probe to the transducer in the
EEC.
P20 is measured by a single transducer, situated in channel A of the EEC. Its
output is available to channel B via cross channel communication. The P20
input is filtered to prevent noise degradation of the EEC performance and also
subjected to range checks.
Probe Heater
An electrical deicing heater element is configured around the probe powered
by Aircraft 115V supply. The EEC selects probe heat on and off dependent
upon the following:
Probe Heat selected ON if:
Aircraft is in flight and N1>10%
Or Aircraft is on ground and engine is producing thrust with N3>45% and
N1>10%
Probe Heat is selected OFF if:
Aircraft is in flight and engine is not producing thrust, with
N1 < 10%
Aircraft is on ground and engine is not producing thrust, with N3<45% or
N1<10%.

Introduction
The EMU contains two processing units, both contained in a fire resistant box:
The Signal Processing Module (SPM) & the Main Processing Module (MPM)
The EMU has 4 operating modes as follows:
S Initialisation Mode
when power is supplied, various tests and operations are carried out to
check EMU health.
S Normal Mode
when EMU is fully operational
S Extreme Mode
when EMU operates outside a specified temperature range. Some SPM
& MPM functions are changed.
S Maintenance Mode
when engine is not running, allows maintenance staff to download data
and carry out software reprogramming.

SPM Outputs
The SPM outputs the following:
S Processes and stores Fan Trim Balance data
S Carries out broad level builtin test (BIT) of the EMU functions during start.
S Sends digital data to the MPM for monitoring and analysis
S Sends engine vibration data to the EEC through the CAN bus. The EEC
then outputs this data via the AFDX for cockpit display.
Sends oil debris alerts to the EEC through the CAN bus. The EEC then sends
this data via the AFDX for reporting in the cockpit.
MPM Outputs
Input data is analysed by a multisensor data fusion system, known as a Q
system. Computational methods are then used to identify abnormal engine
data and produce related reports as follows:
S Engine Novelty Reports showing abnormal engine data.
S EEC/Engine Incident Event Summaries and snapshot data
S Fan Damage Report
S EMU BITE data
S The processed data is output via the CAN to the EEC, which the EEC
addresses and sends out via the AFDX for:
S Status indication on the ECAM
S Storage on the aircraft e.g. Engine Novelty Reports
S Output through ACARS e.g. Engine Incident Event Summaries & Snapshot
data.

VIBRATION TRANSDUCER
T25 THERMOCOUPLE
The vibration transducer is mounted on the right side of the intermediate case
on the end of the No. 2 vane on the upper right side.
The vibration transducer is a dual output accelerometer. It contains two
peizoelectric crystal stack elements, each with a mechanical load of
electrically insulated seismic mass. Each element has a mineral insulated
electrical lead, which connects them to an engine harness. The harness
connects the transducer to the Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU).
The vibration signals to the EMU are used in two ways:
S The engine vibration is sent to the EEC, which sends the signal to the
ECAM for cockpit display.
S The EMU uses the signals to do onboard analysis to give information on
engine performance, general health and any irregular engine data.

The input parameter T30 provides a measure of HP compressor outlet
temperature. There are two single element thermocouples per engine. The two
separate signals are input into each channel of the EEC. Under normal
operating conditions the EEC averages the two signals. If one signal is lost, the
EEC will use the other signal.
T30 is used for:
S Engine condition monitoring
S Detection of rain/hail ingestion
S Engine starting
The T30 thermocouples are installed in two of the combustion borescope ports.

Sensing Devices
The primary function of the TCA is to sense the commands and to generate
electric signals. This positional information is received by several A/C systems.
The throttle control lever sensing devices are composed of 4 independent
groups of 2 resolvers, and 4 independent groups of 3 potentiometers.
The thrust reverser lever deployed order (inboard levers only) is provided by
means of a switch (one per lever).
These 2 switches signals are obtained through one track of potentiometers.
Throttle Levers and Thrust Reverser levers Detents Points and Stops
Thrust reverser lever detent point and stops are located as follows:

When the autothrust mode is deactivated and the throttle levers are set on the
max continuous or max climb detent points, the EEC will enter the memo thrust
mode.
In this mode the EEC prior to the exiting autothrust mode locks the thrust
demand. This is to prevent potential thrust step changes, which may occur
when reverting from autothrust to manual mode.
Thrust Setting: TPR Mode and N1 Mode
There are two EEC internal thrust laws to meter the fuel flow.
The TPR (Turbofan Power Ratio) law is the normal operating mode to
compute the thrust. The selected parameters for TPR thrust control are:
S P20/T20: LP compressor inlet pressure/ temperature.
S P30: Combustor inlet pressure.
S EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature): Low pressure turbine inlet temperature.
The N1 law is activated as a backup mode if the TPR mode fails.
In manual or in A/THR modes, the EEC dedicated to each engine adapts the
metered fuel flow to set the thrust. The EEC prevents the thrust from
exceeding the limit related to the throttle lever position in both manual and
automatic modes.
The EEC controls the engine to an N1 reversionary schedule as a result of
cockpit command (ALTerNate mode push button) or loss of TPR parameters.
There are two forms of N1 reversionary control:
S Rated N1 Reversionary Mode:
The TPR command is converted into a N1 command. The EEC calculates
N1 command using a simple comparison table N1 versus TPR and the
engine is controlled using this N1 command.
S Unrated N1 reversionary mode:
The EEC sets the forward idle detent position equal to idle N1 and the max
takeoff detent position equal to red line N1. The EEC then uses a
graphical comparison table such that the N1 versus TRA profile is
equivalent to the TPR versus TRA profile. The engine is then controlled
using this N1 command.
Either in TPR or in Rated or Unrated N1 mode, the manual mode or A/THR
mode can be achieved.

Autothrust Control
The AFS interfaces with the FADEC to give the autothrust function, including
the Alpha Floor protection.
The autothrust function can be engaged or disengaged according to the logic
implemented in the PRIMs computer. When engaged, the function is either
active or inactive.
Once engaged and active, the EEC uses the airframe N1 target to set the
engine power level. In normal mode, even if the A/THR sends an N1 target to
the engine, the THR is computed from the TPR.
Autothrust is operative in the TPR and ALTerNate (N1) modes.
The autothrust function can be engaged if the engines are not in the same
mode (TPR or N1).
The PRIM accepts the engine in ALTerNate N1 Unrated mode.

For engine inflight wind milling restart purposes, the EEC has the possibility to

both EEC channels are able to switch one output ground/open discrete signal
that commands the depressurization of both enginedriven hydraulic pumps.

Dual vibration XDCR (Transducer) signal and magnetic chip detector signal are
computed by EMU, which monitors engines performance and trend, engines
vibration.
Both channels of the EEC have a T20 thermocouple analog input. The T25
thermocouple sends, to the EEC, the signal of the TAT (Total Air Temperature)
at the IP compressor exit. This signal is used for health monitoring purposes.
The signal is input to both channels of the EEC.
The T30 signal is obtained by two single element thermocouples mounted at
different radial positions around the engine. Each thermocouple sends a signal
to the related channel of the EEC. T30 is the TAT at the HP compressor.
The EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature), or TGT (Turbine Gas Temperature) is
derived from 14 double element thermocouples mounted in the nozzle guide
vanes. The thermocouples are wired in parallel by two leads, one in alumel and
one in chromel. Each pair of leads is connected to each channel of the EEC.
The TCAF (Turbine Cooling Air Front) probe converts the IP turbine
disccooling air temperature at the front of the disc into an electrical signal.
The TCAR (Turbine Cooling Air Rear) probe converts the IP turbine
disccooling air temperature at the rear of the disc into an electrical signal.
TCAF and TCAR thermocouples are used to provide IP Turbine disk overheat
detection.
A single thermocouple, mounted on the IP/LP TCC flange, sends to the EEC a
temperature signal from Zone 3 nacelle, used for condition monitoring
purposes.
The N1C and N1T shaft speeds are derived from engine pulse probes.
The probes provide a sinusoidal frequency voltage proportional to the LP
compressor and LP turbine shaft speed rotation. The N1 Compressor speed
signal is sent to each channel of the EEC, as a main parameter for thrust
limitation and N1 mode backup computation. The comparison between N1C
and N1T speeds is used to give a LP Turbine overspeed protection.
The N2 shaft speed signal is derived from engine pulse probes. The probes
supply a sinusoidal fraquency voltage proportional to the IP shaft speed
rotation. The N2 speed signals are used for engine control functions and are
used by the ROS (Rotor OverSpeed) protection. The N2 speed signal is sent to
each channel of the EEC.

The N3 shaft speed signal, used within the EEC, is derived from the PMA
(Permanent Magnetic Alternator). The outputs from the PMA are at a
frequency proportional to the N3 shaft speed and send an N3 speed signal to
each channel of the EEC.
The P0 signal is input to channel B.
The P20 probe sends to the EEC, the signal of the TAT (Total Air Temperature)
at the engine air intake. The EEC automatically selects the P20 probe heater to
prevent ice on the probe air inlets. The P20 signal is input to channel B.
The HP compressor pressure signal called P30 is split inside the EEC to give a
pressure tapping to a transducer in each channel. The ratio P30/P20 is used
for the TPR thrust computation.
The IP Compressor pressure signal called P25 is input to the EMU for
condition monitoring purposes.
The P50 signal is an exhaust gas pressure signal, which is split into the EMU
to give a pressure tapping to a transducer in each channel of the EEC.
A fan exit signal called P160 is used for condition monitoring purposes and is
input to the EMU.
The EEC controls the starting system during the engine start sequence, the
EEC opens the starter control valve to operate pneumatic starter from either
APU air, crossbleed air or an external air source. The EEC receives feedback
from the starter control valve position switch.
The EEC supplies the two ignition units (A and B) of the Ignition system with
115 VAC aircraft power.
The EEC controls the fuel flow to the combustion system. The control elements
are:
S The Metering valve, which controls the rate of fuel flow (the EEC receives
feedback from an LVDT),
S The PROT MOTOR, which has three positions (STBY, TCM, OVSP),
S The MPSOV, which can stop the flow and cause an engine shutdown in
case of an overspeed (the feedback is given by the MPSOV switch)
S The VSV controller, which supplies fuel to the VSV actuators (the EEC
receives feedback from a LVDT located on the VSV actuators).
FRA US/T
WzT
In the engine air system, the EEC controls the operation of eight valves:
S Three IP 8 bleed valves,
S Three HP 3 bleed valves,
S The TCC (Turbine Case Cooling) valve.
To prevent an engine surge condition, bleed valves controlled by solenoids are
independently supplied with electrical power from the EEC. During cruise
condition, the EEC fully opens the TCC valve to supply LP compressor air to
the external surface of the turbine cases. This causes a smaller clearance
between the cases and the tips of the HP and IP/LP turbine blades to increase
turbine performance. There is no feedback of the bleed and the TCC valves.
The EEC controls the ETRAC (Electronic Thrust Reverser Actuation Controller)
through an ARINC 429 BUS. The Thrust Reverser Power Unit sends an
inhibition signal to the EEC through the ETRAC. The EEC receives feedback
from the TLS (Tertiary Locking System) proximity SNSRs, from the RH and LH
side proximity SNSRs and from the RH and LH side cowl resolvers.
The EEC controls the hydraulic pump offload solenoids (channel A for EDP1
and channel B for EDP2) to depressurize the hydraulic system during an
inflight start.
The EEC receives feedback from the engine antiice protection system for
bleed status demand.
The EEC channel B only monitors the RAIV (Regulated Anti Ice Valve) position
by means of a High Pressure Switch.

EIPM INTERFACES
Electrical Power Supply Control Logics
Each electrical power supply AC2 BUS (EEC, Igniters, ETRAC, P20T20,
EIPM) is controlled by SSPCs.
In case of EIPM failure or loss, the EEC channels are failsafe power supplied.
In the EIPM each power supply is controlled by relays, which are controlled by
the electrical power supply control logics.
Interface Control Logics
The EIPM proceeds to the control and monitoring of the DSI and DSO groups.
The EIPM computes the oil low press and ground signal based on the
acquisition and combination of discrete signals from the LGRDCs (Landing
Gear Remote Data Concentrator) and Oil Low Press switch, and ARINC signal
from IOM (SCI, EEC).
The EIPMU sends (via discrete signal) the oil low press and ground signal to
other users (IOM, CIDS (Cabin Intercommunication Data System), FCDC
(Flight Control Data Concentrator)).
The EIPM controls the second line of defense of the Thrust Reverser system,
only according to states of inputs of the LGRDC status, reverse switch position,
and ARINC bus. This second line of defense is authorized via discrete output
RCCB (Remote Control Circuit Breaker) command.
The EIPM monitors the T/R second defense line authorization via the RCCB
monitoring input.
The RCCB Command function is only available for engine 2 and engine 3
(inboard engine).
The EIPM controls the power supply of the Cowl Opening System. The fan and
Thrust Reverser (or Fan Exhaust) cowl opening is done via the PCPU
supplying electrical actuators.
The power supply of the COS is only available when the aircraft is on ground
and with engine not running.
EIPM also uses ARINC data to manage COS application.
By default, manual cowls opening is inhibited and carried out by the function of
COS.
The power supply to the COS is cut in case of action on the handful
firebreak of the associated engine.
FRA US/T
WzT
When the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) ground power P/B is
activated, the EIPMU electrically powers the EEC channels for five minutes
(maintenance only) if no OMS interactive mode.
If the ENG FIRE P/B SW is activated, the EIPM cutsoff the electrical power
supply to EEC channels for isolation purpose.
The EEC sends the MASTER lever FAULT light (Boolean information) to the
EIPM. The EIPM generates a power supply discrete signals to turn the Engine
FAULT light on, on the Master Lever.
The EIPM acquires N1 speed in an analog form and transmits it via ARINC 429
to the IOM and the FWC. This information is used as a back up information of
the N1 speed from the EEC via the ADCN.

LP Fuel Filter
The filter removes contaminants from the LP fuel before it passes to the HP
system. It is a 40 micron noncleanable filter.
A differential pressure transducer (set at 5psid) provides an indication of
impending filter blockage. A bypass valve operates at 25 psid to allow
unfiltered fuel to the HP pump.

FUEL PUMP
Purpose
The fuel pump receives fuel from the Aircraft and pressurises it sufficiently to
ensure:
S Adequate pressure for fuel powered actuators
S Good atomisation of fuel at the FSNs
Location
The low pressure fuel pump and the high pressure fuel pumps (2) are
combined as one single assembly mounted on the rear face of the external
gearbox
Description
Fuel from the aircraft flows into the inlet of the centrifugal impeller type LP
pump. The LP pump compresses any fuel vapour back into solution and
increases the fuel pressure by centrifugal action to approximately 175 psid (at
max speed). The LP fuel is supplied to the FOHE. The LP pump also supplies
fuel through a filter to the fuel drains tank ejector.
There are two highpressure fuel pumps (HPP) which are both positive
displacement spur gear type pumps.
The main HP pump increases the main fuel pressure to approximately 1725
psid. (at maximum speed) and supplies fuel to the HMU for fuel delivery and
control.
The servo HP pump increases the fuel pressure to approximately 1825 psid.
(at maximum speed), and supplies fuel to the HMU for use by the Variable
Stator Vane (VSV) system.
A full flow relief valve is fitted within the pump to prevent overpressurising the
pump casing, which opens at 2250 psid. The relief valve returns HP fuel back
to the HP pump inlet. There is also a relief valve on the servo pump, which
limits maximum pressure to 2350 psid.
The pump is driven from the external gearbox and is bolted to the rear face of
the external gearbox.

LP FUEL FILTER
Purpose
To transfer heat from the engine oil to the fuel to prevent ice formation in the
fuel.
Purpose
To remove contaminants from the fuel before passing into the highpressure
system.
Location
The FOHE is mounted on the right side of the fan case below the oil tank.
Location
Attached to the FOHE assembly and mounted on the right side of the fan case.
Description
Heat is transferred from the oil to the fuel in the core of the FOHE. The oil flow
is made slower by many baffle plates around the steel tubes through which the
fuel is flowing. The slower oil flow enhances the exchange of heat between the
oil and fuel.
The LP fuel filter housing is part of the same LRU and fuel flows directly from
the FOHE into the fuel filter.
Description
The LP fuel filter is a 40micron noncleanable element located in a cylindrical
aluminium cast housing. The filter housing is connected by a bolted flange
midway along it is length, to the FOHE housing.
The filter is held in place in the housing, sealed by a springloaded pressure
plate reacting against the filter housing end cap that is bolted in position.
In the event of a partial blockage of the filter, a differential pressure transducer
(5 psid.) will provide a cockpit indication. If the filter becomes blocked, a
bypass valve opens at 25 psid to allow unfiltered fuel through to the HP pump.

Metering Valve
Controlled by the EEC via electrical inputs through the metering valve torque
motor. A change in the metering valve position changes the pressure drop,
which is sensed by the pressure regulating valve (PRV) to effectively change
the fuel flow to the combustion chamber by changing the bypass return flow.
The LVDT on the metering valve provides positional feedback to the EEC.

HMU Removal (732152000801)
The AMM procedure is briefly described below:
S Open the fan cowl doors
S Drain the fuel from the drain point on the FOHE
S Disconnect the electrical connectors on the HMU and put blanking caps on
the harness connectors and the HMU.
S Put a container in place to collect the remaining fuel
S Disconnect the fuel tube connections at the HMU.
S Support the weight of the HMU and remove the bolts securing the HMU to
the external gearbox module.
S Carefully remove the HMU from the gearbox.
S Blank all remaining openings.
HMU Installation
S Remove the blanks from the HMU and external gearbox
S Examine the HP fuel main outlet, HP fuel servo outlet and the LP spill inlet
in the external gearbox module. Make sure these openings are clean and
clear of unwanted objects.
S Install new seal rings in the grooves on the external gearbox module
S Put the HMU in position and loosely install the bolts and washers.
S Torque the bolts in the sequence given in the AMM
S Connect the fuel tubes to the HMU and torque the connectors
S Remove the blanking caps and connect the electrical connectors
S Carry out a leak check of the HMU installation and FOHE drain point
S Put the aircraft back to its initial configuration
The seals located in the grooves on the rear face of the external
gearbox can be difficult to remove. Do not insert sharp objects
into the groove as this can cause damage and subsequent leaks
from the mating face. The correct method of removing the seal is
to carefully lift the edge of the seal using special tool (TBA) then
pull the seal out of the seal groove with a pair of pliers.
S If you think there has been a release of material from the HMU, clean the
HP fuel filter (731142100801)

FUEL MANIFOLD
Purpose
To deliver HP fuel to the fuel spray nozzles.
Location
Fitted around the combustion outer case.
Description
The fuel manifold is an assembly of flexible hoses at equal distances around
the combustion outer case. The manifold distributes the fuel to the 20 FSNs
that provide the necessary atomisation of fuel into the combustion chamber.
The fuel manifold assembly is divided into 5 parts:
S The inlet manifold
S The righthand rear fuel manifold
S The righthand forward fuel manifold
S The lefthand rear fuel manifold
S The lefthand forward fuel manifold
The inlet manifold has the fuel inlet from the HP fuel filter and the other
manifolds are connected to the inlet manifold.
When the engine is shutdown (or does not start) on the ground, the fuel in the
manifold is drained back through the inlet connection. This allows fuel to drain
from the manifold via the HMU to the drain tank. Fuel is not drained from the
fuel manifold when the engine is shutdown in the air.

Engine Shutdown
When the engine is shutdown, the EEC directs the VSV system to open the
VIGVs & VSVs. This allows the IP rotor to be turned without the requirement to
disconnect fuel lines and manually move the vanes to the open position. During
start, the EEC returns the VSV system back to the normal operating schedule.
Transient Control
The control system modifies the actuator position schedule through all transient
conditions, including engine acceleration, deceleration, reverse thrust operation
and in the unlikely event of engine surge, transiently increasing handling
margins.
Failsafe Control
If the IP shaft speeds are not available, control is attempted using LP shaft
speed, whilst the fuel control system brings the engine speed to idle.
If a failure of the electrical supply occurs, the system is designed to retract the
actuators to the highspeed position. This minimises the risk of an overspeed
event that might otherwise occur if the actuators extend too fast relative to fuel
flow control.

VIGV/VSV ACTUATORS
Purpose
The two identical actuators provide the muscle force to move the VIGV/VSV
mechanism to required position.
Location
Mounted on brackets attached to the IP compressor case and the intermediate
casing at approximately the 3 & 9 oclock positions. The left actuator is just
above the engine centreline, the right actuator just below the engine centreline.
Description
The actuators are powered by fuel pressure from the VSV actuator control in
the HMU. There are fuel lines to the extend and retract sides of the actuator.
There is also a fuel drain line to collect fuel that leaks past the actuator seals.
Each actuator has a single channel LVDT that provides a signal of actuator
position to the EEC. The left actuator LVDT provides a signal to channel A, the
right actuator provides a signal to channel B. The EEC channel in control only
uses the input from it is own LVDT. If that signal is lost, it will then use the input
signal from the other channel.

Failsafe Control
If a failure of the electrical supply occurs, the system is designed for the
handling bleed valves to automatically close (high speed position). This failure
mode makes sure that the engine internal air pressure distribution does not
adversely affect turbine cooling.
All the bleed valves bleed air into the bypass duct when in the
open position.
NOTE:
Fault Annunciation
The EEC can carry out continuity checks between the EEC and the bleed valve
controllers and will set a fault message for failure of continuity. However, there
is no feedback to the EEC to confirm that the bleed valve has operated
correctly. If a bleed valve is not operating it will show itself by either of the
following:
Valve open when it should be closed this will bleed air from the compressor
at the higher rpm range and will show an increase in TGT. This may be
observed by the aircrew, but will certainly show itself on condition monitoring as
a step change.
Valve closed when it should be open - this is likely to show itself during starting
with a tendency to cause hung/hot starts.
A bleed valve scheduling test can be carried out on the ground, with the engine
running at idle. The EEC commands each of the bleed valves open & closed
and reports any faults by monitoring changes in engine conditions.

Description
The test is carried out through the Onboard Maintenance Terminal (OMT).
The engine is dry cranked to provide sufficient fuel pressure to move the VSV
actuators when commanded by the EEC.
The EEC commands the VSV actuators to move between the closed and open
positions and monitors the feedback signal from the LVDTs (Linear Variable
Differential Transducer) in each actuator to ensure they move to the
commanded position within a specified time.
The test takes approximately 90 secs. If the N3 speed does not increase to a
satisfactory value in 60 secs, the test is aborted.
During the test a dry crank time indicator appears on the OMT screen and this
is replaced by a time indicator for the test, once the N3 speed has reached a
satisfactory value.
On completion, a message appears on the screen to command:
S Rotary selector switch to NORM position
S Engine Manual Start pushbutton to OFF
S Remove the starter air
The Test result is then displayed. If the test failed then you should check for
related Maintenance Messages.
Procedure:
Obey the Instructions shown on the Onboard Maintenance
Terminal
Make a decision on which EEC channel you need to set during the test.
Make sure the ENG MASTER lever is set to off
Make sure the ENG START rotary selector is in the NORM position
On the OMT, on the OMS home page, select:

channel A. The temperature measurement is used to generate an indication in
the cockpit on the lower ECAM screen
Flight deck notification (no crew action), is given when the temperature limit is
exceeded to prompt maintenance action to determine the cause of the
temperature increase.
Should the signal fail a range check then the nacelle temperature indication in
the cockpit turns amber and is replaced by XX.

OIL TANK
Purpose
To store the engine oil.
Location
The oil tank is attached to the A3 & A4 flanges of the LP compressor case on
the right side.
Capacity
Tank contents at the full mark: 28 US Quarts
Features
The tank is a magnesium casting to which other components attach to make up
the oil tank assembly. These components are as follows:
S Oil quantity transmitter
S Sight glass
S Oil filler assembly
S Scavenge filter assembly
S Scavenge Filter Differential Pressure switch
S Outlet tube
S Vent tube
S Electric Magnetic Chip Detector (EMCD)
S Oil Temperature Sensors (2)
Description
The oil tank provides the reservoir for the engine oil system. The feed line from
the oil tank supplies the pressure pump, which feeds the oil system. There is
also a coarse filter in the tank to prevent contamination of the oil feed system.
The scavenge pumps returns the oil from the various bearing chambers and
gearboxes back to the oil tank, along with large quantities of air. A deaerator
in the tank separates the oil and the air. The released air passes from the air
space at the top of the tank, via a vent tube to the centrifugal breather mounted
on the gearbox.
An antisyphon line carries a small flow of oil from the main feed line back to
the oil tank, which is used to clean and cool the sight glass.
The oil filler assembly has a quick release cap. Internally the filler has a flap
valve, which closes under engine running pressure maintaining sealing if the
filler cap is not fitted.

Description
The oil quantity transmitter is a potentiometer style device with changes in
resistance indicating different oil levels. The transmitter consists of a series of
reed switches and resistors that form a ladder activated by a float containing a
permanent magnet.
As the float moves along the stack different reed switches are activated
thereby changing resistance. The EEC provides a constant current to the
transmitter and as the resistance changes, this results in a change in the
output voltage across the resistance stack. The output voltage is measured by
channel B of the EEC, which conditions the signal and transmits the oil quantity
level to the Electronic Instrument System (EIS) for cockpit display on the lower
ECAM (System Display) screen. (Also displayed on ECAM CRUISE page).
The needle and the digital indication are normally green. If the oil quantity
drops below 4 quarts the digital indication pulses.

Screwin MCD
The screwin MCD assembly consists of a housing and Magnetic Chip
Detector, which has a magnetic end. When the MCD is installed the magnetic
end is located in the return (scavenge) oilways.
The MCD housing contains a selfclosing check valve to prevent oil leakage
when the MCD is removed for inspection.
If metallic particles are found on the EMCD during inspection, MCDs can be
installed in the ports on the oil pump assembly. This allows the problem to be
isolated by checking each scavenge oil line.
Location
The EMCD is installed in the combined scavenge return line on the forward
side of the oil tank.
There are nine ports on the bottom of the oil pump which can be used to install
additional MCDs..
NOTE:
Electric MCD
The Electric MCD is positioned at the inlet to the scavenge filter and collects
ferrous metal particles from the engine oil. The head of the EMCD has two
electrically isolated magnetic poles. A circuit is made when debris bridges the
two poles. The EMU continuously monitors the EMCD during flight and
generates a EMCD debris maintenance message 10 secs after landing which
is sent to the Aircraft via the EEC.

Purpose
To remove the oil from the vent air, before discarding the air overboard.
Location
Installed in the external gearbox, and located on the rear face between the oil
pump and the fuel pump.
Description
The centrifugal breather has a rotor that contains retimet segments and is
driven by the external gearbox.
Aerated oil from the bearing chamber vent system and the oil tank is delivered
to the centrifugal breather. The aerated oil tries to pass through the retimet
segments but is centrifuged out. The air can pass through the retimet
segments into the hollow rotor and is vented overboard. The centrifuged oil is
scavenged back to the oil tank by the breather scavenge pump element.

Purpose
The oil pressure transducers (2) assembly measures the differential oil
pressure between the output of the oil pump and the internal gearbox chamber
scavenge line.
Purpose
The low oil pressure switch measures the same differential oil pressure as the
oil pressure transducers to provide an indication when the oil pressure drops to
a preset level.
Location
The oil pressure transducers assembly is installed on the FOHE assembly.
Access by opening the right fan cowl door.
Location
The switch is installed on the FOHE.
Description
The oil pressure transducer assembly consists of two transducers supplied by
the same oil pressures. They are ratiometric devices supplied with a constant
reference voltage, as the pressure changes the internal resistance of the
transducers change, resulting in variable voltage outputs, which are read by the
EEC. One pressure transducer provides a signal to EEC channel A, the other
transducer provides a signal to channel B. The EEC conditions and filters the
signal to remove pump ripple effects and sends the smooth oil pressure signal
to the EIS for cockpit display on the lower ECAM screen.
The needle and the digital indication are normally green. The needle and the
digital indication will turn red if the oil pressure drops below 25 psi.
Description
When the differential oil pressure falls below the switch preset value, the
internal contacts close indicating a loss of oil pressure. The output of the switch
is fed directly to the aircraft system (AFDX) and from there to the EEC.

ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM
Introduction
The EEC is able to perform Automatic and Manual engine starts initiated by
digital command signals from the aircraft AFDX system.
To achieve engine starting, the following subsystems are combined:
S Starting
S Fuel
S Ignition
Each channel of the EEC interfaces with the Start Control Valve (SCV), the
Heigh Energy Igniter Unit (HEIU) / systems and the minimum pressure and
shutoff valve (MPSOV), in order to control their operation during the
starting/cranking phases.
The EEC controls the engine starting sequences, engine cranking options and
the ignition selection in response to aircraft command signals.

Operation
On command from the EEC, the pneumatic starter control valve, controls the
flow of air to the pneumatic starter. During the starting sequence the pneumatic
starter control valve is commanded closed after the starter has reached cutout
speed.
A solenoidoperated valve and regulator control the supply of starter air duct
pressure to an actuator that moves the butterfly valve. The solenoid contains a
double coil assembly that is controlled by the EEC, one coil being connected to
EEC channel A, the other to EEC channel B. The regulator limits the pressure
of air to the pneumatic starter.
Two microswitches give an indication to the EEC of the valve position. One
microswitch is connected to EEC channel A, the other to EEC channel B.
Manual Operation
An extension of the butterfly valve shaft has a visual position indicator and a
square socket to permit manual operation of the butterfly valve. Access to the
square drive is via a sprung loaded flap in the fan cowl door. Manual operation
of the pneumatic start control valve does not require the fan cowl door to be
opened. This method can be used to dispatch the aircraft with a fault in the
SCV system.
Failure of SCV
Failure of the pneumatic starter control valve to close, or leakage of the starter
air ducting, is determined by commanded valve position and a flow detection
system in the start air ducting. When a failure is detected the engine cabin
bleed and aircraft crossflow valves are closed to prevent an overspeed of the
pneumatic starter or leakage of air into Zone 1.

STARTER MOTOR
Purpose
The pneumatic starter motor turns the external gearbox for starting and
motoring the engine. The external gearbox turns the highpressure shaft (N3).
Location
The starter motor is located on the left side front face of the external gearbox.
Access by opening the left fan cowl.
Description
The pneumatic starter motor consists of:
S Inlet housing with containment baffles
S Turbine rotor assembly
S Reduction gears
S Gear cage
S A clutch
S Transmission housing
S Splined output shaft
The inlet housing is designed to lessen the danger of turbine blades exiting the
starter in the event of a turbine rotor assembly failure. A quick attachdetach
(QAD) clamp attaches the starter motor to a QAD adapter, which is bolted to
the front face of the external gearbox. Dowels between the starter and adapter
ensure correct alignment of the starter motor.
Functional Description
The air supply from the starter air duct turns the turbine at high speed with low
torque. The reduction gears reduce the speed and increase torque to the clutch
mechanism and output shaft. After passing through the turbine the air is
released to ambient through the exhaust deflector baffles. The clutch
mechanism (SEC) disengages the starter from the engine once the engine
reaches idle speed.

ATA 74 IGNITION
ENGINE IGNITION SYSTEM
Purpose
Each engine has two ignition systems, 1 and 2, which can operate together
or independently to supply electrical sparks in the combustion chamber to
ignite the fuel/air mixture or keep combustion going.
Location
The ignition units are located on the lower left side of the fan case, rear unit
(system 1) and front unit (system 2). Access through left fan cowl. The two
igniter plugs fit through the outer combustion case.
Description
Each engine has two ignition systems, which can operate independently or
together. Each system has an ignition power supply and an ignition distribution
system. The ignition systems are operated when supplied with 115 V AC
(variable frequency) aircraft power by the EEC
The engine master lever must be in the ON position for supply of ignition
electrical power.
EEC logic is also used to operate the ignition systems when inclement weather
is detected at low power or there is an uncommanded engine run down:
S Automatic inclement weather protection (continuous ignition)
S Auto relight function
Continuous ignition is only used when commanded by the EEC for automatic
inclement weather protection, there is no manual selection of continuous
ignition.
FRA US/T
WzT
Ignition Selection
The EEC alternates between the 1 and 2 ignition systems for Automatic
engine ground starts. In the event of a failure to light being detected using
one system, the EEC automatically commands both ignition systems to operate
and sends an ignition failed message to the aircraft identifying the inoperative
components.
The EEC commands both ignition systems to operate for:
S manual ground starts
S inflight starts
S automatic inclement weather protection (continuous ignition)
S auto relight.
Quick Relight
If the master lever is accidentally moved to the OFF position during engine
operation and subsequently returned to the ON position within 30 seconds, the
EEC will command both ignition systems to operate until 10 seconds after the
engine reaches idle providing:
S The HP shaft speed is above 10% when the master lever is returned to the
ON position when in flight
S The HP shaft speed is above 50% when the master lever is returned to the
ON position when on the ground.

The electrical motor of the PDU gives torque and rotational speed to the
flexible shafts,
S Mechanical power is then distributed to middle ballscrew actuators by 2
flexible shafts.
S Mechanical power is distributed to the other 4 actuators by flexible shafts.
Middle actuators have a MDU (Manual Drive Unit) which allows the manual
deployment / stowage for maintenance operations.
There are two primary locks, one on the top right actuator and one on the top
left actuator.
These internal locks are part of retention means of the thrust reverser system.
Their function is to lock the thrust reverser when stowed.
Two resolver sensors mounted on the lower actuators monitor the position of
the translating cowls.
The EEC detects that:
S the upper translating actuators (LHS and RHS) are locked, through the two
primary lock system proximity sensors.
S the translating cowls are in the stowed position through the lower actuator
position cowl resolvers.
The ETRAC implements the ETRAS control functions except for tertiary lock.
The ETRAC commands the left PLS to unlock for deployment, and through the
TRPU:
S the right PLS and the disc brake to unlock for deployment,
S the disc brake to engage at the end of the deploy sequence, to secure the
T/R in fully deployed position,
S the disc brake to unlock for stowing,
S the electrical motor of the PDU for deployment or stowing,
S provides monitoring data to the EEC, including ETRAS BITE results, data of
the TRPU internal power switch.
The TLS (Tertiary Lock System) is installed on the nacelle structure at the rear
bottom of the left translating cowl.
The function of the TLS is to lock the thrust reverser when it is stowed, in order
to prevent an inadvertent deployment, mainly in flight.
The TLS design follows a failsafe motion in which the TLS engages into a
locked position when the electrical power is removed.
FRA US/T
WzT
The TLS (Tertiary Lock System) is mechanically locked. The Tertiary Lock
System must be electrically released to allow deployment.
Two proximity sensors are mounted on this Tertiary Lock System.
The EEC detects that the TLS is locked or unlocked through the two TLS
proximity sensors.
First Defense Line
When The EEC detects that the aircraft is on the ground (LGERS discrete
signal) and TRA (Throttle Reverser Angle) thresholds are reached (9 for
deploy signal and 8 for stow signal), the EEC sends to the ETRAC (Electronic
Thrust Reverser Actuation Controller) deploy/stow order for thrust reverser
operation.
Second Defense Line
Actuating as the second line of defense of the ETRAS:
S The Engine Interface Power Management (EIPM) will control the switching
of low power supply (28 VDC) to the ETRAC for basic control of the thrust
reverser system in normal operation and during maintenance operation
when the aircraft is on the ground (LGERS discrete signal).
S The EIPM controls and monitors the switching of the 115 VAC 3 phases
power supply to the TRPU.
Third Defense Line
The PRIM (PRIMary flight control and guidance computer) installed in the
avionic bay will control the switching of the SSPC (Solid State Power
Controller) providing the third line of defense of the ETRAS system.
The 115 VAC power supply for the Tertiary Lock System will be transformed
and rectified into DC voltage through a TLS Power Unit.
The thrust reverser tertiary lock is the third line of defense to avoid an
inadvertent deployment in flight. It stops the mobile structure in case of failure
of the primary locks.
The tertiary lock is composed of one electromechanical lock, installed on the
left 6 oclock beam.
The tertiary lock can be manually deactivated in the unlock position to manually
deploy the sleeves to get access to the cascades.
Two proximity sensors send the TLS position to the EEC.

Deploy Sequence
The two translating cowls are initially stowed.
The EEC detects that:
S the upper translating actuators (LHS and RHS) are locked through the
proximity sensor signals of the Primary Lock System (PLS).
S the translating cowls are in the stowed position through the translating cowl
resolver signals.
The deploy command is set.
The third defense line closes alternative current contactor and energizes the
TLS once the TRA (Throttle Resolver Angle) is detected below the 4.5 degrees
position.
The EIPM (Engine Interface Power Management) will command the 115 VAC
(3 phases) power supply at the TRPU (Thrust Reverser Power Unit) input once
the TRA is detected below the 7 degrees position and ETRAC is supplied
with 28 VDC.
The EEC confirms that the TLS is released through the TLS sensor A & B
signals.
The deploy command will be sent by the EEC to the ETRAC through ARINC
429 bus.
The EEC will apply an hysteresis of 0.9 degrees on the throttle position: the
throttle deploy condition will be true when the selected TRA is below 9.0
degrees and will remain true until the selected TRA goes above 8.1 degrees.
The engine throttle lever moves to a position below 9.0 degrees. The TRPU
is distributing the electrical power to all the electrical components through
ETRAC, which commands locks and the brake to be released. The PDU
(Power Drive Unit) transforms the electrical power into mechanical power.
The mechanical power is distributed to:
S the two middle ballscrew actuators by two synchro flex shafts.
S the upper and lower actuators by four other flex shafts and allow the
translating cowl to move in the deployment position.
The EEC detects that:
S the PLS are unlocked through the PLS unlock proximity sensor signals.
S the translating cowls are no more in the stowed position through left and
right translating cowl resolvers signals.

VFG OIL SERVICING
Description
The VFG (Variable Frequency Generator) is mounted on the engine accessory
gearbox located in the engine nacelle.
The filling ports and a sight glass are mounted on the LH side of the VFG.
The VFG is cooled and lubricated by an internal oil cooling system with an
engine mounted, called the ACOC (Air Cooled Oil Cooler).
This ACOC uses airflow from the fan case to cool the VFG oil.
The cooling system limits the temperature VFG oil inlet to 125_C.
A manual disconnection of a faulty VFG could be done through the DRIVE P/B
on the overhead ELEC panel (1225 VM).
When disconnected, VFG cannot be reconnected and should be removed from
the A/C.

OIL SERVICING
Level Check
There are two ways to do a check of the oil level:
S on the vertical sight glass, directly installed on the VFG,
S with the ROLS (Remote Oil Level Sensor).
The ROLS gives indications on the CMS (Central Maintenance System),
through the servicing report or on the ECAM in case of a low level.
The ROLS has three sensors for three different levels:
S an oil level overfill sensor which results in the message FULL/OVERFILL
OIL LEVEL,
S a low level sensor, which gives the message LOW OIL LEVEL (500 hours
before refill),
S a very low level sensor which gives the message VERY LOW OIL LEVEL.
Those messages are presented on the SD status page.
They appear as well as on the servicing report or by using the CMS via the
fault flight report.
The ROLS operates on ground four minutes after engine shutdown.
NOTE:
DPI
The DPI (Differential Pressure Indicator) extends if the oil filter is clogged.
At the same time, it triggers a message through the GGPCU (Generator and
Ground Power Control Unit) to the CMS.
In that case, applicable procedure for oil filter check should be done.

Description
The hydraulic pump is a variable displacement pump. The pump is designed to
operate at a nominal pressure of 5000 psi (343 bar).
The pump is fitted with an electrically operated Hydraulic Pump Offload
Solenoid. The EEC controls the solenoid.
Case drain hydraulic flow cools and lubricates the engine driven pump. There is
a nonbypass case drain filter with visual indication of blockage installed on the
right side of the fan case, one for each pump.
A ripple damper smoothes the pump pressure output.
Functional Description
The engine external gearbox drives the hydraulic pump when the engine is
operating. Pump pressure goes to the hydraulic system when the offload
solenoid valve is not energised.
To improve engine inflight restart capability, the EEC commands a relay in
either channel to switch Aircraft 28 V dc to operate the Hydraulic Pump Offload
Solenoid to depressurise the hydraulic system during windmill starts.
An indication lamp is illuminated in the cockpit when the Hydraulic Pump
Offload Solenoid is energised.

HYDRAULIC PUMP
Disengagement/Reengagement
Open the fan cowl to access the EDP (Engine Driven Pump). It is possible to
do a mechanical disengagement of the EDP (Engine Driven Pump) from the
engine gearbox by means of the declutch system.
In flight, the EDP disengagement will be operated through an electrical
solenoid, from an electrical switch (28VDC) on the hydraulic panel. In this case,
both pumps of the given engine will be declutched.
The disengagement of the EDP is irreversible in flight until a specific
maintenance action is done.
On the ground, for maintenance purpose, the EDP can be manually
declutched by pulling a ring outward.
The reengagement of the EDP can be made manually (engine shut down) by
acting on the reset port.

AIRCRAFT PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
Description
Air for the pneumatic system can come from the following:
S Engine compressors
S Auxiliary power unit (APU)
S Ground air source
Temperature Regulation
A precooler and Fan Air Valve (FAV) installed in the Aircraft pylon achieves
bleed air temperature regulation using LP compressor (fan) air.
APU Bleed
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is the primary source of compressed air on the
ground. The APU can also be used to supply compressed air in flight through
the APU Bleed Valve. With APU air bleed supply, the Crossbleed Valve is
automatically opened and the Pressure Regulating Valves (PRV) are
automatically closed.
Ground Supply
A ground air source is an alternative to the APU for the supply of compressed
air on the ground. There are three HighPressure (HP) ground connectors
installed on the Aircraft
Engine Bleed
The engines are the primary source of compressed air in flight. The air is bled
from the 8th stage of the IP compressor and 6th stage of the HP compressor.
Depending on engine speed, air is tapped off either the IP compressor (IP8) or
the HP compressor (HP6).
The IP8 Bleed Check Valve protects the HP compressor from reverse flow.
The HPV is fitted with a dual solenoid and is opened and closed by the Engine
Electronic Control System (EEC). This will ensure maximum efficiency from the
engine.
Pressure Regulation
Bleed air from the IP8 and HP6 is ducted to the Pressure Regulating Valve
(PRV), which regulates downstream pressure.
An Overpressure Valve (OPV) protects the precooler and downstream user
systems against potential overpressure.

Spinner
A solid rubber tip that vibrates naturally to break up and dislodge the ice
immediately it starts to form, protecting the spinner from ice build up.
P20/T20 Probe
The P20/T20 probe is heated by a single electrical heating element during
engine operation. The electrical power for heating the probe is provided by the
aircraft 115VAC supply via the Engine Interface Power Management (EIPM)
unit and controlled by relays in the EEC which either channel can control. In the
event of EIPM failure, airframe 115VAC is permanently available to the probe
heater whenever the airframe electrical network is powered.
After engine shutdown on the ground, the probe heater is powered for a period
of 15 minutes maximum
In the case of an engine fire, in flight or on the ground, the probe heater
115VAC power supply is removed immediately following operation of the fire
handle.

NAI Components
The NAI components installed on the inlet cowl are as follows:
S Nose cowl lip skin defines the inlet cowl protected area
S Forward bulkhead - ensures confinement of hot air in the forward part of the
nose cowl
S Supply duct assembly - Ensures routing of hot air from the EBU/Nose cowl
interface to the nozzle
S Cyclone Nozzle - delivers primary hot air massflow for antiicing
S Cyclone Mixer - ensures mixing of primary mass flow with recirculating air
and avoids direct impingement of primary flow on nose cowl lip
S Exhaust panel - discharges hot air overboard and ensures mixing with
aerodynamic flow
S Protection pipe - ensures containment of hot air that may leak from the
supply duct and directs it to the intake lip where it is discharged overboard
through the exhaust grid.
General Description
The hot air from HP compressor via the NAI valves, is ducted through the feed
pipe into the air intake lip. The feed pipe is located between the aft and the
forward bulkheads in the space between the inner and outer barrel. A
protection pipe is located around the feed pipe and gives protection in the
event of duct rupture, so that it does not have an effect on the nose cowl
structure.
The cyclone system is located inside the intake lip and gives a swirling
movement to the airflow inside the intake lip.
The cyclone system consists of the following:
S An injector with one centre nozzle and two lateral nozzles
S A mixer
S Spring brackets
The mixer prevents direct impingement of the hot air onto the inlet, thus
preventing overheating. It also causes a jet pump effect, which gives good hot
air recirculation around the intake lip.
The hot air circulates around the intake lip a few times before being discharged
overboard through the exhaust grid.

NAI SYSTEM
System Description
The NAI system is controlled by one of the two AntiIce Control Units (AICU)
on the aircraft, with inputs from the AntiIce switches on the overhead panel.
When the system is operated in AUTO mode, the AICU uses inputs from
aircraft mounted Ice detectors. In manual mode the AICU using the switch
position inputs from the overhead panel switches.
There are two nacelle antiice valves on each engine:
S One shutoff valve (SOV)
S One Pressure Regulating AntiIce Valve (RAIV)
The shutoff valve is controlled by the AICU, via one of the solenoids in the
right bleed valve controller in Zone 2. The valve is located in Zone 3 and is a
pneumatically operated valve using HP3 muscle pressure from the bleed valve
controller solenoid. Downstream of the SOV is a venturi restrictor which
operates as a flow restrictor in case of a burst duct in the fan compartment
(Zone 1), This will limit flow in these conditions, but will not affect normal
operation.
The pressure regulating antiice valve (RAIV) is located in Zone 1 and is
pneumatically operated using downstream pressure. The valve regulates
downstream pressure to avoid too high pressures on the lip skin. The valve
incorporates two switches which both monitor the valve downstream pressure.
The LP switch outputs to the AICU and is used to detect failures of the On/Off
function. The HP switch outputs to the EEC, which sets a fault message if the
downstream pressure is too high.

Description
The Pressure Regulating Valve is a springloaded open, pneumatically
actuated valve.
When inlet pressure is applied to the valve, air flows past the open butterfly
valve and provides a source of pressure at the downstream sensing port. This
downstream pressure is used for:
S Pressure regulation
S Actuator positioning
S Pressure switch operation
The downstream pressure is regulated to provide an outlet pressure from the
valve in the range of 65 - 83 psig.
The LP switch operates in the range of 14 - 18 psig and is used to detect
failures of the On/Off function. The LP switch outputs to the AICU
The HP switch operates in the range of 85 - 98 psig and is used to detect
failures of the valve regulation system. The HP switch outputs to the EEC,
which sets a fault message if the downstream pressure is too high.
Manual Override
The valve includes a visual indicator and a manual lock arm that can lock the
NAI pressure regulating valve in either the fully open or fully closed position.
The override uses a manual lock bolt that serves a dual purpose. When seated
in the storage position, the manual lock bolt holds a manual lock valve open in
the downstream sense line, which allows the valve to function normally. On the
removal of the manual lock bolt, the manual lock valve closes in the
downstream sense line, blocking off downstream pressure and venting the
regulator assembly and actuator to ambient.
The manual lock bolt is retained by a lanyard and threads into the manual
override to lock it in position.

ENGINE OPERATION
Engine Auto Start
To perform an automatic start of the engine:
S Set the ENG START rotary selector to IGN START position,
S Set the ENG MASTER lever ON,
The start valve opens and the N3 rate will increase. At 25% N3 IGN (ignition)
and FF (fuel flow) indications come automatically into view on the ENGINE
page. Then the light up is automatically initiated by the FADEC, the EGT
increases normally. At 50% N3, the ignition stops and the start air valve closes
automatically.
Before starting, make sure that the EGT is less than 150 C (302
F).
During the engine start sequence; you have to monitor the status of the packs
valve. The packs valves have to close automatically when the ENG START
rotary selector leaves the NORMal position. The packs valves will reopen once
the start sequence has been completed.

You must not start the engine if the EGT is more than 150 C
(302 F). If you do so, the EGT will exceed its limit during the
engine start. You can dry motor the engine to decrease the EGT.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE EGT IS LESS THAN 150 C (302 F).
Be careful and observe all the engine parameters, there is no automatic
protection during the engine manual start.

The EEC (Engine Electronic Controller) software does not let the
engine operate in the 64% to 72% N1 speed range.
Thus, speed increase will stop at 64% N1, until the throttle lever
is in a position for engine operation at 72% N1. The EEC
software will then let the engine accelerate through the 64% to
72% N1 speed range.
This function is called KOZ (Keep Out of Zone)
The full engine thrust will be available only when the aircraft
speed is above 45 knots
This function is called METOTS (Modified Engine Take Off
Thrust Settings)

Reverse Thrust
The aircraft is on ground and the engine 2 and 3 are running. The engines 2
and 3 Throttle Control Levers are equipped with reverser levers to control the
deployment or the stowing of the reversers and adjust the reverse thrust. When
they are moved (with the Throttle Control Levers into IDLE detent stop only)
the corresponding indications are displayed on the EWD. The thrust reverser
activation logic activates the deployment of the reversers.
