Purpose: Miscellaneous Components:
The nacelle is an aerodynamic structure in which the engine is mounted. Noise reduction by added aconstical panels. The fire detection system
It has the following purposes: provides flight deck warning if high temperatures occur by means of
-- It transmits the thrust force of the engine to the airframe electrical resistance, or gas pressure; single or dual zone.
-- It directs air to the engine inlet so that its fiow is smooth. The engine mounts are located in two places as follows:
-- It has connections between the engine and the airframe for electrical, air, -- Front at two points
fluids, etc. -- Rear at one point
-- It smoothes the engine to reduce drag. The vibration isolators assist in dampening airframe vibration from the engine.
Construction:
The nose bullet attaches to the accessory drive housing on the front of the
engine. It smoothes the airflow into the engine.
The nose bullet is a QEC component. It is also referred to as:
-- Inlet bullet
-- Nose cone
The nose cowl attaches to the front flange on the engine fan case (flange A).
It catches and smoothes the incoming airflow.
The upper cowl door and the lower cowl door, attach to the nacelle apron.
They permit service access to the engine while it is mounted on the aircraft.
The thrust reverser attaches to the rear flange on the exhaust case (flange M).
It helps to decelerate the aircraft after landing by changing the direction of
engine thrust.
Quick Engine Change (QEC) Components:
The inlet cowl is a divergent duct that sets up the air to the engine. It attaches
to flange A. The inlet cowl has panels and doors that:
-- Are a set of panels that aerodynamically smoothes the engine.
-- Open to allow maintenance engine access.
For Training Purposes Only

-- Have pins to allow panel removal.


The exhaust nozzle is a convergent duct that imparts the final velocity to
increase thrust. It attaches to flange M.
The thrust reverser component provides for aircraft deceleration to reduce
landing roll. It also consists of two positions operational only on the ground,
stowed, or deployed.
The following accessory components are found on the engine:

ENGINE MOUNTS
General
The engines are attached to the mounts by three cone bolts, two forward
and one aft. The forward mounting, with thrust links, takes all thrust loads,
plus vertical and side loads, Whilst the rear mounting takes only the vertical
and side loads. Thermal expansion is accomodated by all three mounts.
Location
The engine mounts are located at forward and aft section at the top of the
engine.
Component
The forward attachment fittings consist of a steel forging suspended from
fittings attached to wing structure and the aft attachment fittings is suspended
from the outboard track of the inboard flap.
The vibration isolation, located in forward and aft mount support fittings consist
of a resilient material permanently enclosed in a metal case.
As engine vibrates, the resilient material deforms slightly, thereby dampening
the vibration created by the engine. Three cone bolts are used to attach the
engine to the vibration isolators. The two forward cone bolts are identical.
Thread protectors should be placed on cone bolts whenever the engine is
being removed.
Maintenance
Aditional component are used as Secondary Support Assembly, they are a
steel cable or a crushable spacer
The Steel Cable acting only as aditional support if the aft cone bolt is broken.
The honeycomb energy absorber is bonded to the end plate at the lower end
and to the top of the housing at the upper end. The sides of the honeycomb

ENGINE ACCESSORY DRAINS
General
Various components are driven by shafts from the accessory drive case.
On these shafts are seals preventing various fluids from leaking between
the component and the accessory case. Should a seal deteriorate leakage
will occur and the fluid discharged overboard through the drain system.

Location
The lines from the various shaft seals and oil tank scupper are connected to
a common drain located on forward bottom side of accessory drive case.
This drain mates with a drain mast in the left cowling.

Components
Shaft seal drains are from the following:
A. Constant Speed Drive and generator -- engine type oil.
B. Hydraulic pump -- hydraulic fluid or engine type oil.
C. Starter -- engine type oil.
D. Fuel pump -- fuel.
E. Oil tank scupper drain -- engine type oil.
Any fluid present in the drain outlet, calls for investigation as to its source,
it could indicate leakage past the seal.

PERFORMANCE DATA
Engine‘s Purpose: -- Only a fourth of the prirnary air is burned. Most of the prirnary air is used
The primary purpose of the engine is to supply propulsive power to the aircraft. for engine cooling and some of it is used for other purposes. Thus, 40 lb.
of air is burned every second.
The engine also supplies pneumatic power, heat, and accessory drive for
electrical and hydraulic power. At takeoff power condition, the pressure ratio for the JT8D overall compressor
it 16 to 17:1.
Why Some Knowledge of Performance is Useful
Maintenance and troubleshooting can be done more effectivty if you have
some knowledge of:
-- The operational characteristics of the engine
-- The type of loads, temperatures and pressures that occur in an engine
This knowledge can also be useful to people who:
-- Operate JT8D engines
-- Require a familiarization with the JT8D engine.
Performance Topics:
Engine performance is a large subject which includes to much technical
information. But, for the purposes stated above, it is sufficient to discuss
just a few topics They are:
-- How thrust is produced in the JT8D engine
-- Typical JT8D data (such as pressures, temperatures, and RPM) at
different engine operating conditions.

CONDITIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISCUSSION IS TO GIVE


YOU A GENERAL IDEA OF A TYPICAL JT8D ENGINE.
At takeoff power, the airflow through a JT8D engine is about 320 lb/sec. Half of
the air goes through the core, and the other half goes through the fan duct.
-- Almost all of the secondary air contributes to engine thrust. A very srnall
amount of it is used for other purposes.

propel the aircraft. -- Add together all negative forces on the internal engine surfaces; these are
the forces that push those surfaces rearward.
Overview:
-- The net thrust is equal to:
There are several ways to describe how a turbofan engine produces thrust:
(Total forward forces) minus (Total rearward forces).
-- Explain the scientific, technical, and mathematical principles.
-- Describe the forces that occur in the engine and are transmitted through
its structure to the aircraft.
We will give a short and simple summary of the principles.
Basic Principles of thrust:
A jet engine (gas turbine) does not create a thrust force by pushing exhaust
gases against atmospheric air. A jet engine is a reaction engine that increases
the energy of the gases that go through it to produce thrust.
A jet engine produces a thrust force due to Sir Isaac Newton’s Second and
Third Laws of Motion.
-- Second Law:
* Force = Mass x Acceleration (F=Ma). A force is produced when a mass
of air is accelerated (has its velocity increased). This also means that
a force is produced when the momentum of the air is increased.
(the momentum of something is defined as its mass multiplied by its
velocity).
-- Third Law:
* For every force or action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A jet engine increases the momentuin of the air that goes through it. This can
be stated by the following equation, which is another way to write Newton’s
Second Law:
For Training Purposes Only

-- Force = (Momentum of exhaust gases) minus (Momentum of the incoming


air)
-- The engine applies a rearward force to the air which is equal to the increase
in momentum. Due to the Third Law, the engine is pushed forward by a equal
reactive force.
The explanation above can also be applied in a practical way, we can calculate
the thrust produced by an engine as follows:

ENGINE POWER SETTING CONCEPT
Purpose
The rating of a gas turbine engine is:
-- The manufacturer‘s guarantee of new engine performance, i e: takeoff
rating, maximum continuous rating, etc.
-- A concept for setting engine power.
In general, there are two rating concepts which are utilized for setting engine
power. One concept is that of rating an engine to a constant compressor
speed, and the other is that of rating an engine to a constant exhaust gas
temperature. The bassic Pratt & Whitney engine rating concept is that of rating
an engine to a constant exhaust gas temperature (flat rating).
In discussing the flat rating concept, the following principles should be kept in
mind:
-- Ambient air temperature and air density vary inversely.
-- Airflow through the engine compressor is a function of compressor speed
and air density.
-- Compressor speed is a function of compressor airflow and the energy
available to the compressor’s turbine.
Therefore, when the exhaust gas temperature is maintained at a constant
value (constant energy level to the turbine), compressor speed becomes a
function of ambient air temperature for a given pressure altitude.
The flat rating concept shown on the facing page, below the flat rating
temperature (Tt2) point, the engine is producing maximum rated thrust at
reduced values of fuel flow, EGT, and compressor speeds. The reduced EGT
results in a decreased rate of turbine deterioration resulting in an increased hot
section life with no penalty in thrust.
Above the flat rating temperature point a constant EGT is maintained.
This results in a prolonged hot section life and at the same time provides
the thrust to satisfy aircraft certification requirements.

COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE
Purpose:
Compressor performance is utilized to define compressor operating
characteristics. Compressor maps are principally the tools of those who
design compressors, but they can also be used to show certain operational
effects that are of interest to maintenance personnel.
Compressor maps are graphs illustrating compressor performance, and are
plotted on the parameter axes of compressor pressure ratio vs corrected
airflow, for a given compressor speed.
This plotting identifies the compressor surge line.
The steady state operating line (established by diffuser, combustor and turbine
geometry) is then determined and plotted on the map. The distance between
the compressor surge line and the steady state operatmg line determines
the surge margin.
Explanation of Surge:
The causes of compressor surge (which is a more correct term than “stall” )
are too complex to describe here. The effect of surge is as follows:
Surge is a sudden decrease of airflow through the compressor. This will
decrease of airflow is caused by inability of the compressor to produce the
proper pressure rise to maintain the mass of airflow through it. As a result
the airflow will break down or reverse its direction.

COMPRESSOR MAPS
Compressor performance, graphically illustrated by compressor maps, is used
to define compressor operatmg charactenstics.
Compressor maps, used to identify the compressor surge line, are plotted on
the parameter axes of compressor pressure ratio Vs. corrected airflow (for a
given compressor speed).
For Training Purposes Only

The steady state operating line (established by diffuser, combustor, and turbine
geometry) is then determined and plotted on the map. The distance between
the compressor surge line and tile steady--state operating line determines
the surge margin.
Compressor maps are used by compressor designers and, because they
indicate various operational effects, by maintenance personnel.

REAR COMPRESSOR MAP:
The rear compressor axis consists of:
-- Compressor pressure ratio (Pt4/Pt3)
-- Corrected airflow
The rear compressor plotted applications consists of:
-- Constant compressor speed lines
-- Surge line
Operating lines:
-- Steady state operating line
. The steady operating line is determined from engine testing and is a
function of the diffuser, combustor, and turbine geometry.
-- ACCEL line
. During rapid acceleration the operating line moves towards the surge
line. This movement is caused by a rise in burner pressure due to the
increase in fuel flow which causes a back pressure at tile HPC exit.
This can be compared to the increase in back pressure when the
outflow valve is closed in the compressor test rig.
-- DECEL line
. During rapid deceleration, the operating line moves away from the
surge line. This movement is caused by a drop in burner pressure due
to the reduction in fuel flow which reduces the back pressure on the
HPC. This can be compared to the reduction in back pressure when
the outflow valve is opened in the compressor test.

The front compressor axis consists of:

-- Constant compressor speed lines
-- Surge line
-- Operating lines
. Steady state operating line
The steady state operating line determined from engine testing
and function of the díffuser, combustor, turbine geometry.
. ACCEL line
During rapid acceleration, tile operating line first moves toward the surge
line because of an increase in burner pressure. Then it moves away from
the surge line as the HPC speeds up. The rotational speed (N2) of the
HPC increases more rapidly than the HPC speed (N1) because the
HPC has less inertia. When N2 increases, the airflow through the HPC
increases. This reduces the back pressure on the HPC.
. DECEL line
During rapid deceleration the operating line moves toward the surge line.
This movement is caused by an increase in back pressure on the HPC.
This occurs because the HPC slow down faster than the LPC, so it
cannot accept all of the airflow from the LPC. This is a stronger effect
than the reduction in burner pressure.

BUILD GROUPS
Description and Purpose:
A build group is the largest assembly of engine parts that can be conveniently
removed or installed as a unit. This permits:
(1) easy disassembly of the engine for repair;
(2) easy assembly for build--up.
NOTE: A BUILD GROUP IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS
A MODULE, MODULAR COMPONENT, OR ASSEMBLY.
Build Group Concept to the JT8D:
The JT8D engine was designed before the build group concept was fully
developed. Thus the build group concept does not apply as well to the JT8D
as it does to the newer Pratt & Whitney engine models.
The JT8D engine is made up of 12 build groups and:
-- Two sections whose assembly is completed when they are attached to
the engine. (These can be referred to as ”build group sections”.)
-- Some assembly parts which are used to connect some of the build groups
together.
The word ”section” is used in two different ways:
-- There are six major engine sections: air inlet, compressor, combustion,
turbine and exhaust, accessory drives, and fan discharge.
-- There are two build group sections.
Because the JT8D has a full length fan duct:
-- It is not practical for the engine to be fully modular. (Some parts of the
duct must he removed to permit access to the cases.)
-- The name ”fan discharge section” has two diiferent definitions:
As a major engine section, it includes all parts of the fan duct downstream from
the fan exit guide vanes.
For Training Purposes Only

As a build group section, it is just one part of the fan duct.

numbers are given. Two of the build groups are build group sections.
-- Front accessory drive group 72--21--00
-- Fan inlet group 72--23--00
-- Front compressor group 72--33--00
-- Compressor intermediate group 72--34--00
-- Rear compressor group 72--3~00

-- Accessory gearbox group 72--61--00
-- Fan--discharge section 72--71--00
The two build group sections are:
-- Fan--discharge section
-- Combustion and No. 5 bearing section.
The exhaust case group is sometirnes referred to as a build group section.
That is because it has some parts that can be installed after it is attached to
the engine. We refer to it as a build group, not as a build group section.
The exhaust case group can have different names in different rnanuals. For
example, it can be referred to as:
-- (Engine) exhaust case section (group)
-- (Engine) exhaust section (group)
For Training Purposes Only

-- (Engine) exhaust group.


The accessory gearbox can have different names in different manuals.
For example, it can be referred to as:
-- Main accessory drive gearbox
-- Accessory drive gearbox
-- Main accessory gearbox.

FAN INLET GROUP (72--23--00)
Purpose:
The fan inlet directs the inlet air to the fan blades at the correct angle and with
a minimum pressure loss. It supports the No. 1 bearing and the front accessory
drive.
Construction:
The fan inlet case has two bosses for anti--icing air. They are at the 2:00 and
10:00 positions. There are 19 equally spaced inlet guide vanes which:
. Are hollow
. Are anti--iced
Support the No. 1 bearing.
-- Eighteen of the vanes have two internal ribs which go from one end to the
other.
-- The other vane is the master vane, which is at the 6:00 position. It is also
referred te as the six o’clock vane. It has five internal tubes that go from
one end to the other.
Probes:
There is a Pt2 probe at the 5:00 position on the inlet case:
It senses the total pressure at the inlet. This Pt2 sense pressure goes to the
pressure ratio bleed control (PRBC), which is part of the compressor bleed
system. There is a Pt2 probe* at the front of the nose bullet*.
-- It is part of the EPR indicating system.
A tube* goes from the Pt2 probe to a fitting* inside of the nose bullet.
That fitting is attached to the Pt2 tube at the front of the No. 1 bearing
compartment. The Pt2 tube goes through the master vane to the bottom of
the inlet case. From there, the Pt2 sense pressure goes to the aircraft.
For Training Purposes Only

* These are airframe supplied.


-- There is a Tt2 sensor at the 7:00 position on the inlet case.
It senses the total temperature at the inlet.
This Tt2 sense temperature goes to the fuel control unit.

N1 tachometer
-- Breather air (with oil vapor from the No. 1 bearing compartment) flows
down through the oil breather tube.
-- Oil that has lubricated and cooled the No. 1 bearing flows down through
the scavenge oil tube.
-- Oil that is pumped to the No. 1 bearing goes up through the pressure oil
tube to lubricate and cool the bearing
-- Pt2 air pressure goes through the Pt2 inlet case tube.
The five tubes go into the central hub and turn towards the front of the engine
(towards the front accessory drive area). The locations of the fittings at the end
of these tubes are:
-- Pt2 inlet case tube 3:30 position

The different JT8D models have several different types of:
-- Fuel manifolds
-- Fuel nozzle supports
-- Connections between the manifolds and fuel nozzle supports.
Three types of connections are shown on the facing page.
They are typical of what you may see on JT8D engines, but sorne variations
are not shown. For example, the conical seat designs have different types of
gaskets.
In the early JT8D engines (prior to SB 2722):
-- On both sides of the engine, the prirnary and secondary fuel manifolds
are a single assembly. Each assembly includes (four or five) flat plates
for the fuelnozzle supports.
-- The base of the fuel nozzle support has a flat surface that mates
with a flat plate on the fuel manifold assembly.
-- The two holes through which primary and secondary fuel flow (from
the manifolds into the fuel nozzle support) have chevron ”pinch” seals.

COMBUSTION CHAMBERS:
Each combustion chamber (burner Cans) has:
-- A set of welded liners
-- A front mounting lug
-- Low emission design (in the later JT8D models).
The later JT8D engines, and many reworked engines, have a magnesium
zirconate coating on the inside surfaces of their combustion chambers.
A combustion chamber has three types of holes that permit primary air to enter
it.
-- The combustion holes are located near the front of the combustion
chamber. The air that goes through these holes is used primarily for
combustion.
-- The dilution holes are located near the rear of the combustion chamber.
The air that goes through these holes is used primarily to cool the very hot
gases before they go out of the combustion chamber.
-- There are small holes around the front of each segment (liner).
The air that goes through these holes flows against the inner wall of the
combustion chamber. It helps to insulate the combustion chamber from
the very hot combustion gases.
Other Features:
-- There are crossover tubes between adjacent combustion chambers.
They propagate the flame from one combustion chamber to the next one.
-- Combustion chambers 4 and 7 have short guides that the igniter plugs go
into.

General Components:
The oil system: * The external components are as follows:
-- Supplies pressurized oil to cool, lubricate and clean the engine bearings and -- Oil tank (attached to the left front face of the AGB)
accesory drives -- Oil pump (at the bottom of the AGB)
-- Collects oil from the bearing compartment and accessory drives and sends -- Oil filter (at the lower left side of the AGB) Three micron sizes are available.
that oil back to the oil tank.
-- Oil pressure regulating valve (at the rear of the AGB)
-- Controls the air breather pressure in the bearing compartments.
-- Fuel/oil cooler (between flanges B and D at the 7:00 oclock)
Description and Operation: -- Magnetic chip detectors (optional)
The oil tank supplies oil to the oil pump, and the pump sends pressurized oil * The internal components are as follows (not shown):
through the oil filter. The filtered oil flows to the oil pressure regulating valve -- Deaerator (in the oil tank)
which:
-- Deoiler (in the accessory gearbox)
-- Bypasses part of the oil back to the oil pump if it is necessary to maintain
-- Oil filter bypass valve (in the oil filter)
the oil flow to the bearings
-- Four scavenge pumps (gearbox at bearing 1, 4and 5, and 6)
-- Sends the non--bypassed oil to the fuel/oil cooler.
-- Strainers and nozzles (at different places in the oil flowpath)
The fuel/oil cooler transfers heat from the oil to the fuel (which flows through
tubes in the fuel/oil cooler). Then the cooled, pressurized oil goes to the Other Data:
bearing compartments and to the gearbox. Scavenge pumps return the oil from
* The oil specifications are as follows:
the bearing compartments and gearbox to the oil tank.
-- Specification PWA 521 tells the type of synthetic oil to be used in the JT8D.
Breather air flows from the bearing compartments to the accessory gearbox.
Oil particles are removed from it, and then the oil--free air is vented overboard. -- Service Bulletin 238 lists the approved oils by brand name.
(This is not shown below.) * The oil consumption guidelines are as follows:
-- If the No. 4 bearing seal is labyrinth oil consumption is .2 to 2 quarts / hour.
Oil System Limits:
-- If the No. 4 bearing seal is carbon oil consumption is .1 to 1 quart / hour.
Normal oil pressure: 40 to 55 psi.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Pressure System
Oil is gravity fed from oil tank into the main oil pump within the accessory drive
case. The pressure section of the pump forces oil through the filter located
downstream of the pump. If the filter becomes clogged, a filter bypass valve
opens allowing oil to flow to the oil cooler. Fuel is used to cool the engine oil.
If the cooler is blocked, a bypass valve across the cooler opens. Oil leaves
the cooler and flows through tubing and last change filters to the bearing
compartments. An oil pressure sense line from the cooler is connected to
the pressure regulator which maintains a constant oil pressure at the bearing
jets, regardless of the pressure drop of the oil at the fuel oil cooler.
Scavenge System
Oil is scavenged from the bearing compartments by three scavenge pumps
which return the oil to the drive case. The scavenge pump in the drive case
sends the oil back to the tank.
Breather System
To ensure proper oil flow and to maintain proper scavenge pump performance,
the pressure in the bearing cavities is controlled by the breather system.
Breather lines are provided from bearing cavities to the accessory drive case.
In the accessory case vapor--laden atmosphere passes through a rotary
breather impellers mounted on the starter drive shaft. Oil is removed and oil
free air is discharged overboard through a hole in left cowling.

ENGINE EXTERNAL OIL DISTRIBUTION
General
The engine oil distribution system consists of a pressure system which supplies
lubrication to the engine bearings, accessory drives and a scavenge system.
A breather system interconnects the individual bearing compartments, the
accessory drive gearbox, and the oil tank.

Oil Pressure System


Oil flows by gravity from the oil tank to the engine driven pump, located inside
the accessory drive case. Pressure oil from the pump flows through an oil filter
to a fuel cooled oil cooler and passes to the various engine bearings. Bypass
valves are provided in the filter and in the oil cooler. An adjustable pressure
regulating valve, installed in the accessory drive case maintains system
pressure and flow bypassing oil back to the pump inlet.

Scavenge Oil System


Scavenge pump return oil from the bearing cavities to a sump in the accessory
drive case. The scavenge stage of the engine driven pump then returns the oil
to the tank.
Oil Breather System
An oil breather system interconnect the engine bearing cavities, the accessory
drive case, and the oil storage tank.
Detection
Optional magnetic chip detectors can be installed in the scavenge lines, oil tank EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
and accessory case.

forward face of the accessory drive case. It is held at the drive case by three
bolts and is secured at the front by a strap.
Components
The tank consists of oil outlet tube to pressure pump and oil return tube from
scavenge pump. The returning oil is sent to a deaerator where oil and air/fumes
are separated by centrifugal action of swirling oil. The air/fumes mixture is
vented to the accessory drive case and hence overboard through the breather
system.
The tank vent system consists of a climb and dive/normal ports, thus providing
an all attitude venting system. Quantity indication is provided by a capacitance
probe and by a dipstick which is integral with the filler cap. On the left side of
the tank are provisions for optional sight glasses and pressure servicing ports.
Description and Operation:
The tank is a stainless steel weidment. It contains three transfer tubes which
accommodate oil supply, scavenge and breather flow between the tank and
main accessory gearbox. A self--locking filler cap and attached dipstick are
located in the main filler port. A scupper sunip and drain system provides
overboard drainage. Remote fill ports are provided for a remote filling option.
An internal baffle minimizes oil sloshing in tank. The tank contains provision
for an oil quantity transmitter. An internal deaerator removes air from scavenge
return oil. Sight gage ports provide for optional visual method of checking oil
level. The tank incorporates a drain valve.

Tank capacities:

FUEL OIL COOLER
General
Automatic engine oil cooling is provided by a fuel--oil cooler on the high
pressure side of the oil system. The oil cooler is of the full flow type,
there is full flow of fuel through the cooler whenever the engine is running
and no temperature regulation of engine oil is accomplished within the cooler.
The oil cooler is located on forward left side of engine above the oil tank.
Components
The oil cooler consists of an outer case which houses a tube assembly
through which fuel passes. Oil passes back and forth across the tubes
to provide maximum heat transfer.
A pressure bypass valve is provided only on the oil side of the cooler.
Indication of opening of the bypass valve is by the increasing oil temperature.
”0” ring seals are located on the forward end of the case and on the ”0” ring
holder to prevent fuel and oil leakage. A small leakage hole is located on the
forward bottom part of the case and connects into the cavity between the two
”0” rings. No leakage of fuel is permissible from the hole.
At the outlet from the cooler, pressure sense line supplies oil pressure signal
to the regulator.
Description and ()peration:
The fuel/oil cooler is of the full flow type with a pressure bypass valve:
-- It consists of a housing containing a removable core composed of more than
200 straw--like tubes through which fuel passes.
-- A series of baffles within the core directs the flow of oil around the tubes. FUEL OIL COOLER
The bypass valve opens at 55 psid in the event that the core becomes
clogged and to ensure that oil flow to the bearing compartments is not
restricted. Typical pressure drop across the cooler is 30 psi.
For Training Purposes Only

The fuel/oil cooler has a 040 inch diameter weep hole, the leakage of fluid (fuel
or oil) through this hole is an indication of an internal packing failure.
Maintenance:
The fuel/oil cooler is a line replaceable uint.
The bypass vaive is a line replaceable unit, and it is cleanable.

Components
The gaging system consists of a capacitance type combination tank unit
and compensator located in the oil tank, an oil quantity gage and a test
switch on the P2 center instrument panel. The gage receives 115 Vac
power from P6--2 circuit breaker panel.
Tank Unit and Compensator
The tank unit consists of two conductive tubular members separated by
an air gap. The active gaging area on these tubes is profiled, or varied,
to provide an accurate reading of quantity at various oil levels and attitudes.
A compensator section, composed of two short tubular members separated
by an air gap, is mounted at the lower end of the unit. It is completely
immersed in oil and minimizes the effect of change in oil dielectric due to
temperature or variation in composition.
Indicator
The indicator consists of an amplifier--bridge assembly, bridge circuit, power
supply transformer and two phase motor, which through gearing drives the
pointer and rehajancing part of the bridge. On the rear of the indicator are the
FULL and EMPTY adjustment screws. The indicator has integral lighting.

OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATING
General
The oil temperature system monitors the oil temperature in the distribution
system and provides a visual indication in the control cabin.
Components
The system consists of a resistance type temperature bulb located at the
outlet from the oil cooler and oil temperature indicator on P2 center instrument
panel. The indicator receives 28 Vac power from P6--2 circuit breaker panel.
Temperature Bulb
The oil temperature bulb comprises an enclosed resistance unit whose
resistance varies directly with changes in temperature. It is in direct contact
with oil flow leaving the cooler.
Indicator
The oil temperature indicator is a resistance ratiometer type unit. It consists
of no--power sweep off coil, deflection coil, cabin temperature compensator
and a dial calibrated in °C. The indicator has integral lighting.
Operation
The indicator rectifies the AC power to DC and applies it to the metering
circuits through an electro--magnetic sweep--off mechanism. This forces
the meter to respond to the coil torques. The indicator applies a voltage
to the temperature bulb and the resulting current is a measure of the oil
temperature. The bulb resistance as a function of the oil temperature,
determines the voltage applied to sensing coil of the ratiometer bridge.
The quick release of the bulb provides for easy trouble shooting with an
ice bath or by ambient temperature comparison.

OIL PRESSURE INDICATING
General
The oil pressure indicating circuit provides visual display in the control cabin
of engine oil pressure, low oil pressure warning and oil filter bypass warning.
Transmitter
The oil pressure transmitter consists of a diaphragm connected to a synchro
transmitter. The diaphragm senses oil pump output pressure on one side and
local ambient on the other side.
Indicator
The indicator consists of a synchro receiver, a gear train, pointer and a dial
calibrated in psig. The indicator has integral lighting.
Low Oil Pressure Warning
The low oil pressure switch senses oil supply pressure. With low supply
pressure, LOW OIL PRESSURE amber light has ground through the oil
pressure switch.
Oil Filter Bypass Warning
The oil filter differential pressure switch senses filter inlet and outlet pressures.
When the filter begins to block, the differential pressure increases, OIL FILTER
BYPASS amber light has ground through switch.
Operation
Engine oil pressure and vent pressure are applied to opposite sides of the
diaphragm in the oil pressure transmitter. The pressure differential positions
the diaphragm and in turn, the rotor position of a synchro transmitter.
The rotor of the oil pressure indicator’s synchro receiver assures a position
corresponding to the transmitter rotor, since the stators of both are connected
in parallel. The synchro receiver rotor drives the oil pressure indicator pointer.
If power is interrupted, the indicator will remain at the last pressure indication.
For Training Purposes Only

Oil pressure indicator, LOW OIL PRESSURE and OIL FILTER BYPASS
amber lights are on P2 center instrument panel.

Description and Operation: NOTE: ONE COMPLETE TURN OF THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW
The oil pressure regulating valve keeps the oil pressure at 40 to 55 psi at the CHANGES THE PRESSURE BY APPROXIMATELY 2 PSI.
oil nozzles. To do this, it has an internal piston that moves up or down to
change the oil pressure. When the piston is all the way up, it blocks the bypass
exit, so no oil is bypassed. Thus all of the oil goes to the fuel/oil cooler without
a reduction in pressure. As the piston moves down, it permits some of the oil to
go out through the bypass exit. The bypassed oil goes back to the oil pump
inlet. This decreases the pressure of the oil that goes to the fuel/oil cooler.
NOTE: DURING ENGINE OPERATION, THE PISTON IS NEVER FULLY
CLOSED. THUS, SOME OIL IS ALWAYS BYPASSED.
The up--and--down movement of the piston is caused as follows:
-- The spring pushes the piston up. The adjustment screw can be turned
to change the spring force.
-- The sense pressure from the outlet side of the fuel/oil cooler pushes
the piston down. If this pressure is high, more oil is bypassed, and the
downstream oil pressure decreases.
-- The breather pressure from the accessory gearbox pushes the piston up.
If this pressure is high, less oil is bypassed, and the downstream oil pressure
increases.
-- The space above the piston is filled with oil that goes through a filter. This
balances the force of the oil on the piston, and it dampens the movement

SCAVENGE OIL DEAERATOR
General:
The scavenge oil deaerator separates the air from scavenge oil that is returned
to the oil tank.
Location:
The scavenge oil deaerator is attached to the outlet of the scavenge oil return
line inside the oil tank.

Description and Operation:


The deaerator is a stationary canister with an air vent at the top and an oil
outlet at the bottom.
A mixture of oil and air is returned to the oil tank by the scavenge oil pumps.
The scavenged oil/air mixture is discharged tangentially onto the inner wall
of the deaerator thereby reducing its velocity and pressure. This permits
the entrapped air to separate from the oil and escape through the top of the
deaerator into the oil tank air space. The deaerator oil drains out the bottom
of the deaerator into the tank to be recirculated by the main oil pump.

Maintenance:
Not a line replaceable unit.

A controlled amount of air from the primary gaspath leaks past the bearing
compartment airseals into the bearing compartments. This air:
-- Prevents the leakage of oil into the gaspath
-- Pressurizes the bearing compartments
-- Mixes with the very small oil particles in the bearing compartments.
The ”air/oil mist” is referred to as breather air. The word ”breather” is used
because the air goes into the bearing compartments and is then expelled,
which is similar to breathing.
Breather pressure is required for proper operation of the scavenge pumps.
The breather air flows from the bearing compartments to the accessory
gearbox as follows:
-- The breather air from the number 1 bearing compartment goes through an
external breather tube to the accessory gearbox.
-- The breather air from the number 6 bearing compartment goes through an
internal tube to the No. 4, 4 1/2, and 5 bearing area. Then the breather air
from the No. 4, 4 1/2, 5, and 6 bearing compartments goes through an
external breather tube to the accessory gearbox.
-- The breather air from the No. 2 and 3 bearing compartments goes through

tank. (This is the air that is removed from the scavenge oil by the deaerator).
In the accessory gearbox, this air mixes with the breather air from the bearing
compartments.

MAIN ACCESSORY GEARBOX DEOILER
General:
The deoiler separates oil particles from the breather air. Another name for
the deoiler is the ”gearbox breather impeller”.
Location:
Two deoiler impellers are located on the starter gear shaft in the main
accessory drive gearbox. The breather vent is located on the left side of
the main accessory gearbox case.
Description and Operation:
The deoiler consists of two impellers with side wall entry for the breather
air/oil mixture.
Breather air enters the side wall of the de--oiler. The centrifugal force created
by the impeller forces oil particles to the outer rim of the impeller where it
drains into the gearbox. Breather air pressure is lighter than the oil and es-
capes through the hollow shaft in the middle of the deoiler and on to the
overboard vent port.
Maintenance:
The front of the accessory gearbox can have a port which gives access to the
deoiler carbon seal assembly, without removing the gearbox. See SB 4539.

ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DIAGRAM
General
The engine fuel distribution and control system consists of an engine--driven
pump, control, anti--icing system, pressurizing and dump valve and a split
manifold, delivering fuel to nine individual fuel nozzles.
* Pump
Fuel is supplied from the tanks through the engine fuel shutoff valves
to the engine--driven fuel pump assembly. From here it is pumped to
the fuel control where it is metered in the proper quantity. Excess fuel
is returned to the pump. A fuel filter is integral with the pump.
* Heat System
The fuel heat system is located between the boost and main stages of the
engine--driven fuel pump and consists of an air--fuel heater, air shutoff valve
and differential pressure switch. The differential pressure switch provides a
means of indicating, in the control cabin, icing conditions or a clogged filter.
* Control
The fuel control is provided with two control levers; one to control engine
starting and shutdown the engine speed during all forward and reverse
thrust operations, and the other to control the fuel control accurately
governs the steady state selected speed, acceleration and deceleration,
and it indirectly governs the maximum turbine temperature of the engine
during both forward and reverse thrust operation.
* Pressurizing and Dump Valve
From the fuel control, the fuel flows through the fuel flowmeter and the
fuel oil cooler to the pressurizing valve. The pressurizing valve schedules
flow to the secondary fuel nozzles as a function of pressure drop across
the primary nozzles.
* Manifolds and Fuel Nozzles
For Training Purposes Only

The divided fuel flow from the pressurizing valve is delivered through the
annular duct to the dual--tube fuel manifolds mounted on the diffuser case.
The fuel then enters the nine fuel nozzles.

FUEL SYSTEM
Purpose
The fuel system supplies clean, metered fuel to the combustion chambers
during all conditions of engine operation.
Description and Operation:
All airframe boost pump sends the fuel from the airplane fuel tank to the
engine pump inlet.
The fuel flows through an impeller boost stage in the fuel pump, which
increases its pressure. Then it goes to the fuel deicing heater.
Thirteenth stage compressor air can be sent to the fuel heater by the fuel
deicing air shutoff valve and actuator. That air contain the heat that is
tranferred to the fuel in the fuel heater to melt ice in the fuel.
The fuel flows from the fuel heater back to the fuel pump, where it goes
through the (main) fuel filter.
The filtered fuel goes through the main gear stage in the fuel pump. Then
the fuel goes from the pump into the fuel control which:
-- Schedules the correct fuel flow rate and pressure that is necessary
for combustion, and sends the metered fuel to the fuel flow tranmitter
-- Sends the unneeded fuel back to the fuel pump.
The metered fuel flows through the fuel flow transmitter which sends flow
rate data to the aircraft flight deck.
The fuel goes from the fuel flow transmitter to the fuel/oil cooler, where it
cool the oil.
The fuel goes from the fuel/oil cooler to the Pressurizing and Dump (P&D)
valve. This valve divides the fuel into primary and secondary fuel and sends
it to the fuel manifolds.
The fuel flows through the primary and secondary fuel manifolds and goes into
the nine fuel nozzles. It is atomized as it goes into the combustion chambers.

FUEL PUMP
The fuel pump provides pressurized fuel to the fuel control unit.
Location:
The fuel pump is mounted on the front, right side of the main accessory
gearbox.
Description and Operation:
The fuel pump consists of a single element gear stage with a centrifugal boost
stage. A relief valve is incorporated to limit the pressure rise across the gear
stage.
The unit provides a rigid mounting pad for the fuel control unit. An integral fuel
filter containing a replaceable filter element is located between the discharge of
the centrifugal stage and the inlet of the gear stage. Should the pressure drop
across the filter exceed a predetermined limit, a bypass valve directs flow into
the gear stage. A mounting pad is provided on the filter housing to permit the
use of a differential pressure warning device.
An accessible and removable cover forms the lower portion of the sump area
of the filter housing. In the event of a malfunction of the boost stage, a bypass
valve opens into the inlet passage of the pump to direct flow into the gear
stage. This is held normally closed by a light spring force and remains closed
due to boost stage pressure. Outlet and return ports are provided between
the boost stage discharge and the filter inlet for installation of an external fuel
heater.
A driveshaft seal drain is located in the lower extremity of the mounting flange.

FUEL DE--ICING AIR SHUTOFF VALVE
Purpose:
The fuel deicing air shutoff valve and actuator controls flow of 13th stage
compressor air to the fuel heater.
Location:
The fuel deicing air shutoff valve and actuator is mounted at the 2:00 o‘clock
position on the fan duct on the engine right side.

Description and Operation:


The fuel deicing system consiste primarily of an air--fuel heater, air shutoff
valve differential fluid pressure switch and the necessary tubing.
The pressure drop warning switch mounted on the fuel filter indicates when the
filter is iced. When the cockpit fuel heater switch is activated, an electrically
actuated air shutoff valve located in the bleed air line at the inlet of the heater
opens to permit 13th stage air to flow through the heater.
The fuel heater and filter are installed in the fuel system between the boost
and main stages of the engine drive fuel pump. AII of the engine fuel flow
passes through heater at all times. The fuel is heated however, only when
the air shutoff valve is opened, allowing high compressor discharge air to
flow through the air side of the heater.
Actuator has mechanical position indicator.

Maintenance:
The fuel deicing air shutoff valve and actuator assembly is an LRU.

FUEL DEICING HEATER
The fuel heater heats fuel pump interstage fuel to protect the fuel system
from ice crystals.
Location:
The fuel heater is mounted on the fuel pump housing at the 6:00 o‘clock
position.
Description and Operation:
The fuel heater is located between the boost and main stages of the engine
driven fuel pump. The fuel heater functions as an air--fuel heat exchanger to
protect the engine fuel system from ice. It consists of a housing containing
a core composed of over 200 straw--like tubes through which compressor
bleed air passes and around which the entire engine fuel flow is circulated;
a series of baffles within the core which direct the flow of fuel around the
tubes so that the fuel is uniformly heated; and a bypass valve which permits
the fuel flow in the event of clogging.
The fuel heater uses 13th stage air as a source of heat, and functions only
when the air shutoff valve is open, allowing high compressor discharge air to
flow through the air side of the heater.
Operation of the fuel heater is controlled manually. A dífferential pressure
switch on the fuel deicing filter activates a warning light in the cockpit when
there is a pressure drop across the filter caused by ice or clogging.
A fuel heater switch can then be actuated, to open the fuel heater air shutoff
valve. Engine bleed air passes through the tubes of the heater, warming the
fuel which is baffled around these tubes. The resulting warm fuel will melt any
ice within the filter and the WARNING light will go out as the pressure drop
across the filter is decreased. The heater is used intermittently.
Maintenance:
The fuel heater is an LRU.
For Training Purposes Only

Be sure the restrictor is installed before you attach the exhaust duct (a QEC

panel. Power supply is 115 Vac and 28 Vdc from P6 circuit breaker panel. The indicator has integral illumination.
Operation
The power supply converts 28 Vdc to 3 ∅, 4Hz, 17 Vac which is supplied to
the flowmeter transmitters. The conversion is accomplished by timer switches
and oven controlled oscillator.
Transmitter
The transmitter consists of a motor driven impeller and a fuel flow driven
turbine. An impeller motor is located upstream of the impeller.
A signal transmitting unit is located downstream of the turbine and is attached
to the turbine with two restraining springs of different load characteristics.
This permits the use of an indicator with tine index marks at the low side and
coarser index marks at the high side resulting in greater sensitivity at low flow
rates.
The impeller motor receives 3 phase, 4 Hertz, 17 volts AC from PSM and is
driven at constant 240 RPM, the impeller is driven through reduction gears at
constant 60 RPM regardless of fuel flow.
The fuel passing through the impeller is given a swirling motion and then
passes through the turbine. The act.ion of the fuel on the turbine blades
produces a torque, against the restraining springs, which is directly
proportional to the fuel flow rate.

FUEL/OIL COOLER
Purpose
The fuel/oil cooler maintains oil temperature within operating limits by
transferrig heat from the oil to the fuel.
Location:
The cooler is mounted on B and C flanges at the 8:00 o‘clock position
on the front compressor case.

Description and Operation:


NOTE: THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE FUEL/OIL COOLER IS SHORT.
A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN IN THE ”OIL
SYSTEM” SECTION.
The fuel enters the fuel/oil cooler and flows through thin parallel tubes. Then it
goes out of the fuel/oil cooler to the P&D valve.
The oil flows around the tubes and through a set of baffles. This causes good
heat transfer from the oil to the fuel. Then the cooled oil goes out of the fuel/oil
cooler.
The fuel/oil cooler has a .060 inch diameter weep hole. The leakage of fluid
(fuel or oil) through this hole is an indication of an internal packing failure.
Maintenance:
-- Line replaceable unit
-- Bypass valve is removable and cleanable
. Bypasses at 55 psid

PRESSURIZING AND DUMP (P&D) VALVE
Purpose
The P&D valve is a flow divider between primary and secondary fuel flows.
Location:
The P&D valve is mounted on the fan diffuser case at the 8:00 o‘clock position.
Description:
Fuel enters inlet, passes through a 74 micron screen, then opens a dump
valve, which is acting as a check valve, proceeding to the prirnary manifoid
outlet.
Above idle, approaching the power range, fuel acting on a pressurizing valve
opens to allow fuel through the secondary manifold.
Maintenance:
The P&D valve is a LRU.
The fuel inlet strainer is an LRU, and it can be cleaned.
There are two test ports:
-- FP4 (primary fuel pressure)
-- FP5 (secondary fuel pressure).

SCL JGB Jan -- 2004 Page: 31
POWER PLANT BOEING 737 - 200
Lufthansa LAN Technical Training

FUEL SYSTEM JT8D -- 7 to 17


73 -- 00
Operation:
Fuel enters the P&D valve and goes through an inlet screen. If that screen
is clogged, the pressure differential across it increases; then it unseats so the
fuel can bypass it.
The fuel collects in the filter chamber, and its pressure increases. This makes
the fuel push against the dump valve, which opens it.
The fuel flows through the dump valve and goes into the primary chamber.
Then it goes out of the P&D valve’s primary outlet, into the primary manifolds.
If the pressure increases in the prirnary chamber due to an increased fuel
flow, the pressurizing valve starts to open. This permits fuel to flow into the
secondary chamber. Then it goes out of the P&D valve’s secondary outlet,
into the secondary manifolds.
NOTE: ON MOST AIRCRAFT, THE DUMP VALVE PORT IS SEALED
WITH A PLUG FOR PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
Modes of Operation:
The fuel pressurizing and dump valve has three modes of operation:
-- When the engine is shut down, the dump valve and pressurizing valve
are closed. The dump valve does not permit fuel to flow back to the
fuel/oil cooler, flowmeter, and fuel control. Thus it is a check valve in
this condition.
-- From engine start--up to idle, the fuel flows to the primary chamber and
goes to the primary manifolds. The pressurizing valve stays closed, so
fuel does not go into the secondary chamber.
-- Above idle, the pressurizing valve opens, and fuel does go into the
secondary chamber and out to the secondary manifolds. Thus the fuel
nozzles get both primary and secondary fuel.

FUEL MANIFOLDS
Purpose:
The fuel manifolds deliver fuel from the pressurizing and dump valve to
the fuel nozzles at nine locations around the diffuser case.
Location:
The fuel manifolds are mounted on the exterior of the primary diffuser case.
Description and Operation:
The divided fuel flow (primary and secondary) from the fuel pressurizing
and dump valve is delivered through two short external manifolds to two
points on the exterior of the diffuser outer fan duct at the 5:00 and 7:00
o‘clock positions. These tubes lead through the duct to the left and right
fuel manifolds which are mounted on the exterior of the diffuser case.
The left manifolds supply fuel to the nozzles for combustion chambers six,
seven, eight, nine and one. The right manifolds supply fuel to the nozzles
for chamber numbers two, three, four and five.

FUEL NOZZLE
Purpose:
The fuel nozzles atomize the fuel and spray it, with 13th stage air, into the
combustion chambers.
Description and Operation:
There are 9 fuel nozzle and support assemblies. They are inside of the diffuser
case, in the primary gaspath.
Each support is attached to the inside of the diffuser case. A nozzle support
has fittings that are attached to the primary and secondary fuel manifolds on
the outside of the diífuser case.
The fuel nozzle nut is threaded onto the nozzle support, and the combustion
chamber is installed over it. Thus the fuel nozzle nut goes into the front of the
burner can.
The fuel nozzle nut functions as a nozzle. Thirteenth stage air ( from the
diffuser) goes into it and is made to swirl (turn). Then that air goes into the
combustion chamber.
The fuel nozzle nut holds a fuel nozzle assembly which is put into the nut
before the nut is attached to (threaded onto) the support. This inner nozzle:
-- Has strainers and a metering plug for the primary and secondary fuel.
-- Makes the fuel swirl, atomizes, and sends it into the combustion chamber.
In some conflgurations, the inner nozzle also gets thirteenth stage air, makes
it swirl, and mixes it with the fuel when it is sprayed into the combustion
chamber.
Other Data:
The different JT8D models have several different types of fuel nozzles. Primary and Secondary Flow
The fuel nozzles have been re--designed to decrease emissions.
The two major types of fuel nozzles are shown on the facing page. They are:

BLEED VALVE
Purpose:
The bleed valves allow high compressor air to bleed into secondary gaspath
when opened.
Location:
The bleed valves are mounted internally on diffuser case and compressor
case.

Description and Operation:


A bleed valve contains a piston that moves freely in the bleed valve housing.
When the engine is static (shut down), the position of this piston is a result of:
-- Its position when the engine was shut down
-- The pull of gravity and the drag of the piston against the inner surface
of the bleed valve.
* During engine operation, the position of the piston in the bleed valve is
controlled by the air pressures that push against it.
-- When Ps4 actuating air (muscle pressure) is not sent to a bleed valve,
the compressor air pushes the bleed valve’s piston open. This permits
the HPC air to go (bleed) through the bleed valve, into the fan duct.
-- When muscle pressure is sent to a bleed valve (by the PRBC or SBCV),
it pushes the piston closed. This stops the flow of compressor bleed air to
the secondary gaspath.
NOTE: A 13TH STAGE BLEED VALVE HAS PS4 AIR PUSHING ON
BOTH SIDES OF ITS PISTON. BUT, THE MUSCLE PRESSURE
HAS MORE FORCE BECAUSE IT PUSHES AGAINST A LARGER
AREA THAN THE AIR FROM THE PRIMARY GASPATH.

OPERATION PRE SB 5425:
* Engine start and idle is:
-- During the engine start anti idle operation, compressor air pushes the
bleed valves open when the muscle valve in the PRBC is (1) closed
to the flow of Ps4, and (2) opened to atmospheric vent.
* Above idle is:
-- As the engine is accelerated above idle, the increasing Ps3 overcomes the
combined force of Pt2 and spring. This forces the poppet valves to reverse
position, allowing Ps4 to reposition the muscle valve. The repositioned muscle
valve allows Ps4 muscle pressure to flow to the compressor bleed valves to
force them closed.
* Engine shutdown is:
-- With the engine shut down there are no active forces on the compressor
bleed valves. Since they are open at idle power they would remain in the
open position after engine shutdown.

OPERATION POST SB 5425


As RPM increases during engine start, Ps4 pressure opens the start bleed
control valve and closes the 13th stage bleed valve. The 13th stage bleed
valve remains closed until the engine is shut down. When the engine is
shutdown, Ps4 pressure decreases to close the start bleed control valve
and open the 13th stage bleed valve.

ANTI SURGE BLEED
General
During an initial run the engine bleed valves are required to be checked
for proper operation. The operation of the valves is a functionof engine
inlet temperature (Tt2), engine inlet pressure (Pt2) and low pressure
compressor speed (N1).
Procedure
From the graphic, knowing Tt2 and Pt2, can be determine at wich N1 %
the valves should close or open during engine acceleration and deceleration
respectively.
During acceleration, when valves close, a sudden increase in N1 % rpm of
approximately 8 % and EPR of approximately 0.06 units will be observed.
During deceleration, when valves open, a sudden decrease in N1 % rpm of
approximately 8 % and EPR of approximately 0.07 units will be observed.

ANTI--ICE SYSTEM
General
The 737 has three anti--icing air shutoff valves on each engine.
Two of them control the flow of 8th stage air to the engine inlet,
as described earlier. The third valve controls the flow of 13th stage
air that prevents ice formation on the engine inlet cowl.
The 13th stage air is mixed with cooler, lower pressure air before it
goes to the cowl.
There is one anti--icing toggle switch for each engine. In correct operation,
all three anti--icing valves open when the pilot turns the switch ON.
There is an indicator light for each of the three anti--icing valves on an engine.
These indicator lights have the following names:
-- COWL VALVE OPEN (blue)
-- R VALVE OPEN (blue)
-- L VALVE OPEN (blue).
Description and Operation
NOTE: THIS DESCRIPTION APPLIES TO ENGINE NUMBER 1
SIMILAR DESCRIPTION CAN BE GIVEN FOR ENGINE
NUMBER 2.
When the pilot turns the antii--cing (ENG ANTI--ICE) switch ON:
All three indicator lights for Engine No. 1 go on brightly to show that the valves
are in transit.
When all three valves are open, all three indicator lights for that engine become
dim. But if a valve does not open, the corresponding indicator light stays
bright.The condition of each of these lights can be summarized as follows:
OFF if the switch is OFF and the valve is closed.
ON dimly if the valve is open.
ON brightly -- While the valve is in transit (opening or closing)

and causing engine pressure ratio (EPR) indicator, on P2 center Instrument
panel, to rise.
The engine anti--icing system prevents the formation of ice, or melts ice,
on the:
-- Fan inlet case
-- Inlet guide vanes
-- Inlet nose bullet (also referred to as the nose cone, or nose dome).
Components
There are two anti--icing tube assemblies, one on each side of the engine.
The routing of each assembly is from the fan--discharge rear--compressor
outer duct, forward to the fan inlet case.
There are two air shutoff valve and actuator assemblies, one on each side
of the engine. They are located on the front compressor case at the 11:30
and 12:30 positions.

Description and Operation


When the anti--icing system for an engine is turned on from the flight deck:
-- Both actuators are energized to open the air shutoff valves.
-- Eighth stage bleed air flows through the tubes to the fan inlet case.
-- The hot air flows into the outer annulus of the fan inlet case, through the
hollow inlet guide vanes, and into the inner annulus.
-- The air then flows into the nose bullet and is sent into the gaspath.
The moisture that condenses in the outer annulus of the fan inlet case

ENGINE NOSE COWL ANTI--ICING
General
Downstream of nose cowl anti--ice valve is thermostatic valve, and in the nose
cowl is an injector. Control and monitoring of the system is from P5, forward
overhead panel.
Operation
Placing engine anti--ice switch to the ON positions, allows three anti--icing
valves to open.
13th stage engine bleed air passes through the nose cowl anti--icing valve
and a thermostatic regulator valve and discharges through the injector at
the bottom of the nose cowl. Ambient air is drawn in by the injector, mixed
with 13th stage bleed air and dissipated in the nose cowl leading edge through
a perforated tube. The air is then discharged overboard through a port in the
nose cowl.
Engine and nose cowl anti--icing use should be limited to the minimum during
systems checks on the ground.

NOSE COWL ANTI-- ICE REGULATOR VALVE
General
The nose cowl anti--ice system utilizes 13th stage engine bleed air. This air
supply mass flow and temperature at high engine thrust operation is greater
than required for the anti--icing of the nose cowl.
Regulation of the air mass flow as a function of air temperature is provided by
the regulator valve.
Location
The nose cowl anti--ice regulator valve is located on the forward right side of
engine in the air duct downstream of the nose cowl anti--ice valve.
Components
The regulator valve consists of a sleeve enclosing a bi--metal temperature
sensitive coil connected by a shaft to a rotary plate, a stationary plate,
closed and open position stops.

Operation
When the nose cowl anti--ice valve is open 13th stage engine bleed air passes
through the initially fully open regulator valve. The bi--metal temperature
sensitive coil expands radially when subjected to the high air temperature
causing the rotary plate to rotate against a stationary plate. This rotation
reduces the relative openings between the plates, thus changing the flow area
and hence air mass flow. Two stops are provided for the rotary plate, a closed
stop and open stop, which is also used as a valve failure indicator.
When the valve is cold, it should be fully open with the rotary plate resting on
an open stop, thus preventing inward movement of the indicator pin. If the pin
can be depressed, it indicates that the valve has failed in the partial or fully
closed positions.

the drum is the engine start systun (ESS) cable which mechanically actuates
the minimum pressure and shutoff valve in the fuel control unit.

Forward Thrust Lever


The forward thrust lever provides variable fuel supply to thu engine, thus
controlling the engine thrust. A lockout mechanisn prevents simultaneous
actuation of the forward and reverse thrust levers to assure positive forward
or reverse thrust control. The reverse thrust lever is attached to the forward
thrust lever which in turn is concentrically mounted with a thrust drum. Passing
over the drum is the engine thrust (T) cable, which mechanically actuates the
throttle valve in the fuel control unit when forward thrust lever is moved.
The forward thrust lever idle position is against the idle stop on the control
stand; and forward motion is terminated by a stop on the tuel control unit.
The GO AROUND switches for the flight director are mounted on the thrust
levers.
Reverse Thrust Lever
The reverse thrust lever actuates the thrust reverser and provides variable fuel
supply to the engine, thus controlling the engine thrust during reverse thrust
operation.
For Training Purposes Only

A lockout mechanian prevents simultaneous actuation of the forward and


reverse thrust levers to assure positive forward or reverse thrust operation.
The reverse thrust lever is attached to the forward thrust lever. Actuation
of the reverse thrust lever, rotates the thrust drum. (It should be noted that
the direction of travel of thrust drum and cables is the same for decreasing
forward thrust as it is for increasing reverse thrust.).

ENGINE DATA PLATE
General
During the Production Test Cell Operation, prior to delivery, the engine is
checked for proper operation and certain adjustments are made to insure the
performance matches a standard for that engine model. Once the engine has
been fully adjusted and performance checked, a reference speed is established
for use in service. The reference speed is called ”DATA PLATE SPEED”.
Data Plate Speed is established from a curve which relates Engine Pressure
Ratio (EPR) and High Pressure Compressor RPM (N2). This curve is slightly
different for each engine. Prior to extracting the Data Plate Speed, the curve
is corrected to Sea Level Standard conditions. The corrected curve is then
entered at a given EPR of 1.65 (for all engines). The speed corresponding to
an EPR of 1.65 is then stamped on the Data Plate in % N2 and actual RPM,
together with the engine serial number. Data Plate Speed can now be used to
determine engine condition in service.
Location
The engine Date Plate is located on the front face of the forward turbine
support flange at the 4 o’clock position.

Condition Check Parameters


The Data Plate Speed must be corrected for ambient temperatures different
from standard (6O °F), the corrections are obtained from trim tables in the
Maintenance Manual. A tolerance band is specified for the corrected Data
Plate Speed, this band being +1.2 % N2 and --0.8% N2.
If during engine Data Plate Speed check (engine operating at EPR of 1.65),
N2 RPM is within tolerance, the engine shows no deterioration and can be
trimmed. If N2 RPM is above the tolerance, engine has compressor distress,
if N2 RPM is below the tolerance, engine has turbine distress.

PART POWER TRIM SPACER
General
Engine trimming is performed at part throttle or part power setting. On the fuel
control unit, is installed a spacer having two positions, S for standard and C for
cold. The S or C side is used in accordance with data from the trim tables.
Location
The trim spacer is located on the fuel control unit under the thrust crank arm
stop.
Procedure
Depending on the ambient conditions (tenperature and pressure), from the
trim tables the position of the trim spacer is obtained.
If S position is required, break satety wire, loosen screw and rotate the spacer
to between the stop and thrust crank. If C position is required, break safety
wire, remove the spacer and install it with C side showing.
Upon completion of trim procedure, the spacer should be stowed.
The spacer should not be removed from the fuel control unit and used on a
different fuel control unit.

FUEL CONTROL
General
Engine trinning is performed by adjustment of two screws on the fuel control
unit in accordance with target values obtained from the trim tables.
Location
The two adjustment points are located on the fuel control unit next to the thrust
crank on the forward right side of the engine.

Operation
The two trim screws are called IDLE and MIL. The IDLE screw is rotated
counterclockwise for increasing the idle RPM and the MIL screw is rotated
counterclockwise for increasing part power Pt7.
One complete revolution of each trim screw generates 32 ”clicks”. On IDLE
screw, 16 ”clicks” is equivalent to idle RPM change of 1% N2 and on the MlL
screw, 10 ”clicks” is equivalent to Pt7 change of 1 in Hg.
During trim procedure, both screws are adjusted until the target values are
obtained.

EPR OPERATION
Operation
When the system is not at null, as would occur when either Pt2 or Pt7 was
changed, the pressure transmitter is also at off--null position. In this condition,
the center plate of the capacitance pickoff is not centered between the outer
plates and therefore a voltage is produced which is amplified by a phase DIGITAL READOUT
sensitive amplifier. The voltage is then supplied to a two--phase motor, whose
direction of operation depends on whether the voltage is in phase or out of EPR ONLY
phase with respect to line voltage. The motor operates the output synchro
and the outer plates in a direction to null the center plate of the capacitance
pickoff. The signal from the output synchro is transmitted to the indicator.
General
The engine pressure ratio transmitter converts the pneumatic signals from
engine inlet and exhaust to an electrical signal which is supplied to the EPR
indicator.
Location
The transmitter for each engine is located in the respective air conditioning bay,
outboard wall, opposite the waer separator. Located on the transmitter are test
connections for the engine inlet (Pt2) and exhaust (Pt7) pressures.

ENGINE TACHOMETER SYSTEM
General
The engine tachometer system measures the rotary speed of the engine low
(N1) and high (N2) pressure compressors, and provides a visual indication in
the control cabin for monitoring engine performance.
Components
The tachometer system consists of a Low pressure compressor tachometer
generator located on the trout accessory drive pad behind the nose dome, a
high pressure compressor tachometer generator located on right side of the
accessory drive case and two indicators on the P2 center instrument panel.
Tachometer Generator
The tachometer generator consists of a three phase stator winding, end
shields and a permanent magnet rotor assembly all contained in a sealed
case. The frequency of the generato output signals is a function of the
compressor RPM.

Tachometer indicator
The tachometer indicator consists of a three phase synchro motor, a rotating
drag assembly, a calibrated clock spring, all hermetically seated in a case,
and a round dial with a subdial. The indicator dial is graduated for readings
between zero and 110 percent RPM, while the small subdial is graduated in
ten divisions for each 10 percent change in speed.
Maintenance
Both indicator and tachometer are LRU‘s.
The generator tachometer are interchangeable.

GENERATOR TACHOMETER
Operation
The alternating electrical signals from the respective tachometer generator are
fed into a tachometer indicator which cause the drive shaft of the indicator
synchrro motor to rotate. The synchro motor drives the flux coupling which,
in turn, restrained by a clock--type spring, moves the indicator pointers to a dial
position corresponding to the compressor rotor speed.
The engine tachometer system operates on self--generated electrical power.
The airplane’s electrical power is required only for the integral lighting of the
tachometer indicators.
Engine Trim Connection
A N2 test connection is provided on the right side of the control cabin.This
connection can be used for checking N2 RPM on a precision tachometer
during the engine data plate speed check and engine trim.

FUEL FLOW CIRCUIT
Transmitter
The transmitter consists of a motor driven impeller and a fuel flow driven
turbine. An impeller motor is located upstream of the impeller. A signal
transmitting unit is located downstream of the turbine and is attached to
the turbine with two restraining springs of different load characteristics.
This permits the use of an indicator with fine index marks at the low side
and coarser index marks at the high side resulting in greater sensitivity at
low flow rates.
The impeller motor receives 3 phase, 4 Hertz, 17 Vac from Power Supply
Module and is driven at constant 240 RPM, the impeller is driven through
reduction gears at constant 60 RPM regardless of fuel flow.
The fuel passing through the impeller is given a swirling motion and then
passes through the turbine. The action of the fuel on the turbine blades
produces a torque, against the restraining springs, which is directly
proportional to the fuel flow rate. Rotation ol the restraining springs rotates a
permanent magnet rotor surrounded by a coil which is supplied with 115 Vac
from P6--3 circuit breaker panel.
It is reconnended that the FUEL FLOW INDICATOR circuit breaker be pulled
(open) whenever the engine fuel feed line is drained or the airplane is out of
service for maintenance. This will prevent damage to the transmitter from dry
operation and will prolong its life.
Indicator
The fuel flow indicator consists of a permanent magnet rotor surrounded by a
coil which is supplied with 115 Vac from P6--3 circuit breaker panel, a pointer
and a dial face calibrated in lb/hr or kg/hr. The coil picks up the output signal
from the transmitter, rotates the permanent magnet in indicator by the same
angular displacement as the magnet in transmitter. The pointer gives a visual
indication of fuel flow during engine operation.
For Training Purposes Only

The indicator has integral illumination.


Maintenance
The indicator and transmiter are LRU‘s.

ENGINE STARTER
General
The engine is started using low pressure air(supplied to the starter through the
start valve. The pneumatic starter is a turbine type air motor which converts
energy of compressed air into torque sufficient to accelerate the engine to
starting speed. The starter drives the high pressure compressor through the
accessories drive case.
Location
The starter is located on the left aft face of the accessories drive case. It is
attached by five keyhole type bolts, provisions are for six, but the bolt at 1
o’clock position is not used due to limited accessibility.

Components
The starter consists of a scroll assembly, turbine wheel, reduction gear
assembly, engaging mechanism, output shaft and a centrifugal cutout switch.
The air exits the starter through a safety screen and a containment deflector.
Operation
When the valve is open, air is admitted to the starter scroll assembly
and is directed radially inwards through the turbine wheel imparting high
speed rotation. The reduction gear train reduces the high speed, low torque
of the turbine wheel into low speed, high torque through a pawl and ratchet
engagement mechanism to the output shaft. When the speed of the output
shaft exceeds the speed of the internal gear hub, the clutch mechanism
overruns thus providing automatic disengagement. Overspeed control is
maintained by the centrifugally operated cutout switch, which automatically
closes the starter valve when the output shaft reaches a speed corresponding
to 35--40 % N2 RPM.

PNEUMATIC START VALVE
General
The start valve allows airflow from the airplane’s pneumatic system to the
starter during engine starting operation. The valve is solenoid controlled,
pneumatically operated non--.regulating.
Location
The pneumatic start valve is located on the heft side of the engine just
above the engine starter.
Components
The start valve consists of a valve body assembly with a lever operated
butterfly valve, diaphragm type pneumatic actuator assembly, filter and
solenoid operated switcher with a manual override.
Operation
Placing the engine start switch, on the P5 overhead panel, to GRD posjtion,
allows start valve solenoid to be energized and moving the switcher.
Air from the pressurized pneumatic manifold passes through the filter and
switcher to the lower chamber of actuator assembly, the upper chamber is
vented to ambient.
Pressure acting on the bottom of the diaphragm overcomes the spring force,
and by linkage moves the butterfly to open position.
Deenergizing the solenoid ( normally by the cutout switch in the starter) ,
repositions the switcher. The lower chamber of actuator assembly is now
routed to ambient through the switcher. the spring in upper chamber and
torsion spring on butterfly close the valve.

THRUST REVERSER
General
The thrust reverser assembly is located on the aft end of each engine and is
for use on the ground only. When actuated, the reversers provide reverse
thrust as a means of decelerating the aircraft during landing roll or after a
rejected takeoff.
Reverse thrust is provided by two deflector doors opening aft, which deflect
the exhaust gases forward.
The reversers are hydraulically powered, electrically controlled and monitored.

THRUST REVERSER INSTALLATION
General
The thrust reverser assembly is attached to the tailpipe extension, which in
turn is attached to the engine. The reverser assemblies are interchangeable
between the engines.
Components
A double flanged tailpipe extension is installed between the aft end of the
engine and the forward end of the reverser, these flanges are fireshields.
The thrust reverser assembly consists of an integral tailpipe and shroud
assembly, two doors with locks, two lock and door actuators, actuating
linkage and interlock push--pull cable with rigging provisions.
At the forward end of the reverser assembly are located the hydraulic
components (check valve restrictors) and lines for pressure and return
flows, for the two lock and door actuators.

THRUST REVERSER DOOR LOCK
General
The thrust reverser door lock assembly maintains the thrust reverser in the
forward thrust position except when reverse thrust operation is selected.
Location
The thrust reverser door lock assemblies, two for each reverser, are located
circumferentially around the junction of the jet pipe and reverser under the
nacelle skin.
Components
The door lock assembly consists of a latch, a hydraulically operated lock
actuator, a striker pin, a torsion spring and a tension spring.
Extension of the latch is an actuating plate for the proximity switch sensor unit.
Attached to the door is a latch fitting with a roller which is engaged by a latch.
Operation
During the selection of reverse thrust, the lock actuator is pressurized moving
the latch, against torsion spring, and thus unlocking the door.
With the door moving the retracting arm is pulled by the tension spring and
engages the striker pin, holding the latch In unlocked position.
During the selection of forward thrust, the rock actuator is again pressurized
to a reset position, without moving the latch since the actuator rides in a slot
in the latch. When the door is stowed, the retracting arm is moved by the latch
fitting, releasing the latch. The torsion spring now rotates the latch which
engages the roller on the latch fitting.

THRUST REVERSER DOOR LINKAGE
General
The thrust reverser door linkage is a four--bar linkage system used to stow
and deploy the thrust reverser doors. The linkage assembly is powered by
the hydraulically operated actuators.
Location
The thrust reverser door linkage assemblies, two for each reverser, are
housed behind aerodynamic fairings at the rear of the nacelle.
Components
The linkage assembly consists of a driver link, idler link, and an overcenter
links. The drive links are attached to the forward part of the doors and to the
overcenter links, the idler links are attached to the aft part of the doors and
support assembly. Attached to the overcenter links is the reverser actuator.
On the left actuator only is attached the interlock feedback rod.

Operation
With the reverser in the forward thrust position, the linkage is maintained in
the overcenter position, thus keeping the reverser locked.
During the selection of reverse thrust, the reverser actuators are pressurized
moving the overcenter links, which in turn rotate the drive links. Rotation of
the drive links moves the doors to the open position.
During the selection of forward thrust, the rfeverser doors are closed and
locked by the actuator.

THRUST REVERSER ISOLATION VALVE
General
The thrust reverser isolation valve (one per engine), is a solenoid operated
valve which allows hydraulic supply to and return from the reverser actuators.
Location
The isolation valve is located on the forward bulkhead of each air conditioning
bay.

Components
The valve consists of a shuttle valve operated by a 28 Vdc powered solenoid
for opening and a spring for closing. It has three ports for hydraulic pressure,
supply to actuators and hydraulic return.
On the outside of the valve is a manual lockout plunger with provisions for a
locking pin.
Operation
When the solenoid is deenergized, the valve is closed by the spring and the
supply line to actuators is connected to the return line. This depressurizes the
actuators on the reverser.
In order to energize the solenoid, the airplane must be on the ground and
engine operating or the override switch placed to the OVERRIDE position.
When the solenoid is energized, the shuttle valve is repositioned to connect
the supply line to the actuators to open or close the reverser.
During the performance of the maintenance practices, the reverser may be in
open or closed position with the actuators pressurized. This condition is very
undersirable, since inadvertant movement of reverse thrust lever will move the
reverser.
Hence prior to working in the vicinity of the reverser, the isolation valve manual
lockout plunger should be depressed and the ground lock assembly with the
