Engine Type
T700-GE-401C, front driven turboshaft
5 Sections of Engine
Inlet, Compressor, Combustor, Turbine, Exhaust
Inlet Airflow
Inlet Cowling > Swirl Vanes > IPS/Collection Scroll > Deswirl Vanes
IPS purpose
Prevents particles from entering the compressor
Compressor Section Stages
5 Stage Axial, 1 Stage centrifugal rotor/stator assembly
Engine Airflow Usage
30% Used for combustion process, remainder used for:
- Compressor Inlet Temperature (T2) air
- Compressor Discharge Pressure (P3) air
- Combustor and turbine cooling
- Engine oil seal pressurization
Ng Turbine
Drives the compressor and AGB
Np Turbine
Turns inside the Ng Turbine drive shaft, extends through the front of the engine connecting to power turbine drive shaft.
What is sensed between Np & Ng turbines?
TGT
AGB Components
Rear Face: Engine starter, HMU, IPS, ODV
Front Face: Alternator, Engine Driven fuel boost pump
Mounting Cavities: Lube/Scavenge pump, Chip detector
Face Pads: Oil cooler, fuel filter, oil filter
PCL - OFF
PAS mechanically shuts off fuel at the shutoff valve within the HMU
PCL - IDLE
HMU automatically controls start sequence fuel flow allowing the engine to achieve self containing combustion
PCL - FLY
Sets the max level of power that could be supplied, if demanded
PCL - LOCKOUT
PCL is used to manually control Np and Ng.
*TGT Limiting, Np governing, and load sharing deactivated in LOCKOUT
LDS System
Responds to the collective position to automatically control engine speed and provide required power.
Engine Driven Fuel Boost Pump
- Provides reliable suction feed from the fuel tank to engine
- Provides discharge pressure to satisfy minimum inlet pressure requirements of HMU
Engine Fuel Filter
Filters solid matter, but not water.
HMU responds to the PCL for:
- Fuel Scheduling
- Fuel Priming
- Setting engine start fuel flow with auto acceleration to ground idle
- Setting permissible Ng up to maximum
- DECU Override capability (LOCKOUT)
