GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
The Maintenance practices explained throughout these course notes may not
be a word for word copy of what is described in the maintenance manual, but
rather an understanding of the principles of a particular maintenance task.
It is therefore essential that these course notes are never used when working
on an engine.The official Maintenance Manual must be used at all times.
The maintenance manual will list all warnings and cautions at the beginning
of each task. In the course notes they will be listed at the beginning of each
maintenance section of each chapter. Take time to read these warnings and
cautions so that you become familiar with them.
Also listed at the end of each chapter is a list of precautions under the heading
of ETOPS AWARENESS. ETOPS stands for Extended Range Twin Engine
Operation. In the past the only aircraft with the capability of flying long range
operations were four engined or three engined. With the development of
more powerful turbo fan engines it became possible to operate twin engined
aircraft with equivalent long range capability. For the first time the regulatory
authorities and manufacturers
had to consider the airworthiness and safety implications of twinengined aircraft operating a long way from any enroute airfield.
Typically these routes are over water but there are some over land. The certification rules of all regulatory authorities prevent operations of twinengined
aircraft more than a specific distance (expressed as flying time) from an alternate airfield, enroute. In the early 1980s the design of twin engine aircraft
with long range capability and with reliable engines and systems demanded a
rational evaluation of the technical and operation factors involved.
It was deemed by the major certification authorities that a threshold of 60 minutes flying time at single engine cruise speed from a suitable alternate airfield
was acceptable.

REVERSER COWL ( C-DUCT )
DESCRIPTION
The function of the thrust reverser is to supply reverse thrust when the aircraft
has made a landing. Reverse thrust helps decrease the speed of the aircraft
after landing.
This is done by the movement of the pivot doors into the L.P. compressor outlet
duct, which seals off the duct and makes the L.P. compressor airflow go outboard and in a forward direction. The equal and opposite reaction to the air
moving forward creates the reverse thrust.
The thrust reverser is an assembly of primary parts, a left and right Cduct.
The Cducts are connected to the pylon by 5 hinges and are latched together
at the bottom by 7 latches.
When they are closed they make a cover over the core engine and an exit for
the L.P. compressor air.
The pivot doors are operated by hydraulic pressure from the engine driven
hydraulic pump. There are two actuators installed in the Cducts they allow the
Cducts to be opened for access to the engine. The actuators are operated
by hydraulic pressure. A hand operated pump (ground support equipment) is
used to supply pressure.
NOTE: The A330 uses aircraft hydraulic systems to operate the thrust reverser
pivoting doors. Engine No.1 uses the blue hydraulic system, Engine No.2 uses
the yellow hydraulic system of the aircraft.

ENGINE MOUNTS
DECRIPTION
The engine is attached to the aircraft pylon with two engine mounts. The front
mount is attached at the top of the intermediate case.The rear mount is attached at the top of the exhaust case.
The mounts support the weight of the engine and transmit loads to the aircraft
structure.
Spherical bearings in each mount permit thermal expansion and some movement between the engine and the aircraft pylon, the two mounts are made to
fail safe.
FRONT MOUNT
The engine front mount transmits engine thrust, side and vertical loads to
the aircraft pylon. The thrust and side loads are transmitted from the intermediate case through a split spherical bearing which is mounted on the intermediate case to the cylindrical trunnion.
These loads are now transmitted through the main attachment bracket to the
aircraft pylon.
The vertical loads are transmitted from the intermediate case through the vertical load links to the vertical load support beam.They are then transmitted
through the front horizontal trunnion to the main attachment bracket to the aircraft pylon.
The main attachment bracket is in two halves to give more than one route for
the thrust and side loads.
If there is a failure of a primary component that affects the vertical loading the
engine would drop and the fail safe catcher link would contact the rear trunnion
(on the main attachment bracket) and support the vertical loads.

REAR ENGINE MOUNT
The engine rear mount transmits engine torque loads, vertical loads and side
loads to the aircraft pylon.
The torque loads and side loads are transmitted from the lug at the top of the
exhaust to the fail safe link. They are then transmitted through the left hand
inboard fork lugs (when viewed from the rear of the engine) to the intermediate
fitting to the aircraft pylon.
Vertical loads are transmitted through the engine mount links through the intermediate fitting to the aircraft pylon. If a failure of the fail safe link occurs, the
fail safe link pin will transmit torque and side loads. The fail safe pin is in a
clearance hole. Therefore the pin will only transmit loads if a failure occurs. If
there is a failure of the fail safe link where it attaches to the exhaust case, the
torque pads and shoulder pads engage and transmit side and torque loadings.
If there is a failure of an engine mount link the fail safe link will transmit side,
torque and vertical loads, the remaining engine mount link will transmit vertical and torque loads.

COMMON NOZZLE ASSEMBLY ( CNA )
DESCRIPTION
The CNA which is bolted to the engine exhaust case mixes the primary and the
secondary airstreams together. There are 4 different CNAs available from the
manufacturer.
Each of the four CNAs has slightly different airstreams through it. Therefore
the engine data plate shows a EPR trim value on it which results from those
manufacturer tolerances.

ENGINE DRAINS
INTRODUCTION
The powerplant drains system is provided to fulfil the following functions:
S To collect fuel which has not been burned because of engine shut
down or failure to start.
S To remove and discard fuel and/or oil if a leak occurs across an internal seal
in certain primary components. This also provides the means of monitoring the condition of these seals.
S To remove unwanted liquids which can collect in the pylon, cowls
and fairings.
DESCRIPTION
If component seals are leaking stainless steel tubes convey the fluid to an
overboard drain (drains mast). Most of the tubes connect to specified primary
components as follows:
S Air Oil Heat Exchanger (A.O.H.E.)
S Hydraulic Pumps
S L.P./H.P. Fuel Pump
S Fuel Metering Unit (F.M.U.)
S Starter Motor
S Integrated Drive Generator (I.D.G.)
S (V.I.G.V./V.S.V.) Actuator
S Drains Collector Tank
S Oil Tank Filler Scupper
Other tubes in the drains system remove unwanted fluids from specified areas
of the powerplant and they are:
S The Pylon Primary Structure
S The Core Engine Fairings
S The L.P. Turbine Area
A small sump is installed in many of the components drain tubes. The sump
will hold some of the fluid if leaks occur from the components. This fluid in the
sumps can then be used to identify the defective component.

OPERATION OF DRAINS TANK
DESCRIPTION
When the engine is shut down, or after failure to start 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 and 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 L.P. 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, fuel is now removed from the tank to be routed to
the inlet side of the L.P. pump.
When the fuel falls to a certain level the float valve closes this prevents air
being introduced into the L.P. fuel supply.

L.P. COMPRESSOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The L.P. compressor is a one stage rotor with 26 wide chord fan blades which
engage in axial dovetail slots. Each blade is held in the disc with two shear
keys, radial movement is prevented by a slider assembly.
Installed between adjacent blades and held by the front support ring are annulus fillers to give smooth contour to prevent air turbulence.
The L.P. shaft is attached to the disc with a curvic coupling. Behind the curvic
coupling is a roller bearing and to the rear of the bearing is a machined phonic
wheel.
This is used with an electrical pickup to measure L.P. compressor speed.
Bolted to the front of the disc is a spinner which gives a smooth contour to the
air entering the L.P. compressor.
At the rear end of the L.P. compressor shaft there are internal splines which
engage the L.P. turbine shaft.
A coupling, a splined locking ring and a nut that can be adjusted for setting the
turbine blades, in relation to the turbine static assembly, connect the two
shafts together.
The rear of the L.P. compressor shaft is held in location by a ball bearing which
maintains it in the correct axial position.

DESCRIPTION
The I.P. compressor module is an eight stage axial assembly consisting four
main sections:
S Front bearing housing
S Variable stator vane case
S The I.P. compressor case
S The I.P. compressor rotor
FRONT BEARING HOUSING
The front bearing housing, most of which is made of titanium, includes a hub,
which locates the L.P. and I.P. compressor bearings and an oil sump, also
the L.P. and I.P. shaft speed probes. Connected to the hub are 58 titanium
engine section stator vanes. The vanes are welded together as one unit and
there are lugs on the outer ring. These lugs align with the titanium outlet guide
vanes at the torsion ring to make the FBH/OGV joint.
The mating parts of this joint are aligned with dowels and are connected with
bolts that pass through the dowels. This FBH/OGV joint holds the L.P. compressor case to the core engine. Two electrical cables pass internally
through two of the E.S.S. vanes to transmit signals from the shaft speed
probes. Six more vanes contain tubes to supply oil to and from the roller
bearings. Behind the E.S.S. vanes are 58 variable inlet guide vanes.

I.P. TURBINE MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The I.P. turbine is a single stage disc which has a flange on its rear face.
Attached to this with bolts are the flanges of two shafts which go forward
through the centre of the disc.
One of these is a stubshaft which is supported by the inner race of a roller
bearing to hold the I.P. turbine in position. The other shaft passes through the
stubshaft and the H.P. system and connects to the I.P. compressor shaft
with splines.
The disc has fir tree roots into which fit 126 turbine blades. In front of the I.P.
turbine blades are 26 hollow N.G.Vs. In 13 of these N.G.Vs is a strut which is
attached to the turbine case by a bolt. The inner end of each strut is connected
to the structure which holds the H.P./I.P. bearing support assembly.
Through some of the other N.G.Vs are tubes to supply oil to and from the
bearings and I.P. 8 cooling air to cool the housing. The I.P. turbine case is
flanged and bolted between the combustion chamber outer case at the front,
and the L.P. turbine case at the rear.
Adjacent to the rear flange is a turbine case cooling (T.C.C.) air manifold and
location bosses for eleven thermocouples. To the rear of the turbine blades are
the L.P. 1 N.G.Vs.

L.P. TURBINE MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The L.P. turbine has four discs which are bolted together to form a drum. The
discs have fir tree roots into which fit the turbine blades.
In front of each stage of turbine blades there is a stage of N.G.Vs. The firststage of N.G.Vs, which are hollow, are installed as 3 vane sets in the outlet
from the I.P. turbine case. One vane in each set of eleven sets contains a
thermocouple and another set includes an overheat detector. Stages 2, 3
and 4 N.G.Vs which are solid are installed in the L.P. turbine case. At the inner ends of the N.G.Vs are honeycomb liners which touch the fins of the interstage seals between the rotor discs.
The stage 3 turbine disc has a flange on the front which is attached to the turbine shaft with a curvic coupling. This shaft goes forward through the centre
of the I.P. shaft and connects with the L.P. compressor shaft with
splines. Also connected to the rear of the stage 3 disc flange is a stubshaft.
This is connected to the inner race of the L.P. roller bearing to hold the
L.P. turbine in position at the rear.
The L.P. turbine case is a one piece cylinder flanged and bolted between
the I.P. turbine case at the front, and the tail bearing housing at the rear.
Around the case is a cooling duct through which cooling air flows. On the inner
surface between the N.G.V. locations there are seal segments which
touch the turbine blade shrouds.
The tail bearing housing support structure includes a hub which is held concentric in an outer case by twelve radial hollow vanes. Some of the vanes contain tubes which supply oil to and from the bearing housing. There is also a
supply of I.P. 8 air to cool and seal the bearings.
Five of the vanes have pressure inlets in the leading edge to measure L.P. turbine outlet pressure ( P50 ). These pressure values are used as part of the engine pressure ratio ( EPR ) system. The front flange of the case is attached
with bolts to the rear flange of the L.P., turbine case, and at the rear flange to
the common nozzle assembly (C.N.A.). Around the case are two flanges to
increase the strength. Attached to these flanges, at the top, is the rear mount.

SPRING LOADED L.P. TURBINE BEARING
DESCRIPTION
It is possible when the engine is running within a certain power range that the
L.P. location bearing may suffer damage from skidding due to load cross
over. Load cross over is when the L.P. location bearing is not axially
loaded, either forwards or rearwards. It is known that ball bearing skidding can
be eliminated if the bearing is always loaded axially.
On the Trent 700 engine the L.P. turbine rear stubshaft has, in addition to a
roller bearing, a spring loaded ball bearing. The bearing is part of a spring
pack assembly housed within the tail bearing housing.This spring pack
loads the L.P. shaft in a rearwards direction, eliminating cross over under all
conditions.

SHAFT SPEED
INTRODUCTION
There are three primary compressor shafts in the engine. These are the Low
Pressure (L.P.) compressor shaft, the Intermediate Pressure (I.P.) compressor
shaft and the High Pressure (H.P.) compressor shaft. The speeds at which
the shafts turn are measured independently and shown as a percentage
equivalent (N1 and N3 rotor speeds) on the upper ECAM display unit, (N2 rotor
speed) on the lower ECAM display unit.
DESCRIPTION
The system uses speed probes together with phonic wheels to measure N1
and N2 shaft speeds. The dedicated alternator supplies the speed of the H.P.
shaft N3.
The outputs from the L.P. and I.P. speed probes are sent to the Overspeed
Protection Unit (O.P.U.). The O.P.U. uses two of these signals from each shaft
and transmits them to the E.E.C. The dedicated alternator supplies the speed
of the H.P. shaft to the E.E.C. via the Power Control Unit (PCU).

COMPONENT LOCATION
The following components are fitted in the system:
S The L.P. shaft phonic wheel
S The I.P. shaft phonic wheel
S Three L.P. speed probes
S Three I.P. speed probes
S The dedicated alternator
The L.P. shaft phonic wheel is at the rear of the L.P. compressor from the
rollerbearing innerrace assembly.
The I.P. shaft phonic wheel is on the I.P. compressor front stub shaft. The two
phonic wheels each have 60 teeth. There are three speed probes for each
phonic wheel.
Each speed probe has a magnet and a coil which when operational produces a
magnetic field.
During operation of the engine the shaft and hence the phonic wheels turn. As
the teeth of the phonic wheels pass through the magnetic field of the speed
probe, it causes an electrical pulse in that probe.
The frequency of the pulses is in proportion to the speed of the shaft. The
speed probes and the trim balance probe are attached to the support block inside the front bearing housing. Conduits carry wires from the probe assemblies
through the front bearing support case and through the fixed I.P. inlet guide
vanes to a junction block.
The dedicated alternator is installed on the front face of the external gearbox.

POWER MEASUREMENT
INTRODUCTION
Actual thrust can only be measured in a test cell, therefore when the engine is
fitted to the aircraft some other method of measuring power that can equate
to thrust must be used.
The power measuring device used on the Trent is called the engine pressure
ratio (E.P.R.) system. The air intake pressure P20 and the turbine outlet pressure P50 are compared and expressed as a ratio therefore:
EPR = P50 : P20
E.P.R. is related to thrust and as a result can be used as a parameter for its
control. The E.P.R. indication is displayed in the flight deck.
The P20 accumulator collects the air intake flow from the P20T20 probe and
smoothly supplies the air to the EEC. The accumulator prevents sudden
changes of the P20 which can have an unsatisfactory effect on engine performance.
The accumulator is downstream of the P20T20 probe. You can find the accumulator in a position lower than the electronicunit protectionbox.
DESCRIPTION
The E.P.R. indicating system consists of three primary components:
S The L.P. turbine bearing housing support vanes pressure inlets
S The E.E.C.
S The P20/T20 probe
OPERATION
The E.E.C. collects values of P50 from the L.P. turbine bearing support vanes
and P20 from the P20/T20 probe. The E.E.C. compares these values to
form the actual E.P.R. and transmits the E.P.R. value to the electron centralised aircraft monitoring system (E.C.A.M.) for display on the upper screen
engine/warning display (E/WD). Each of the two E.E.C. channels perform this
operation independently.

EPR INDICATION
EPR - ENGINE PRESSURE RATIO
EPR the primary parameter used to set the thrust, is the ratio of exhaust gas
total pressure to front compressor inlet pressure ( P50/P20 ).
The EPR system has
a combination P20/T20 probe to measure the front compressor inlet
pressure and temperature
five probes used to measure exhaust gas pressure
Front compressor inlet pressure and exhaust gas pressure are routed to the
EEC where transducers change the pneumatic pressures to electrical signals.
The signals are used to calculate the actual engine pessure ratio which is
transmitted to the flight deck for display.
EPR MAX
The EPR max is displayed by means of a thick amber mark across the
EPR scale

POWER MEASUREMENT
E.P.R. TRIMMING
During pass off testing of an engine it is run at a designed thrust. However the
E.P.R. indication of different engines being run at the same thrust will be different.This is due to the manufacturing tolerances of the tail bearing housing.
Therefore to enable the E.P.R. indication for all engines to be the same, for a
given thrust, E.P.R. trimming is required.
This is done by entering any one of 32 different trims into the E.E.C. by means
of a data entry plug. Each entry is allocated a trim code which is etched on to a
data plate see FIG 1. This data plate is located on the right hand side of the tail
bearing housing. This code is also etched onto the main data slip plate (Fig 2).
The areas of the C.N.A. can also affect the E.P.R. indication for a given thrust.
The C.N.A. has been grouped into 4 bands depending on area and each band
is given a code. This code is etched onto the main data slip plate (Fig 2) and
onto the CNA.
The engine name plate and main data slip plate (Fig 2) are attached to the left
side of the rear fancase.
During engine repair or overhaul of the tail bearing housing or a complete
C.N.A. or core engine is replaced, then the main data slip plate must be
checked to ensure that the E.P.R. trim code is consistent with the ones for the
C.N.A. and tail bearing housing. If it is incorrect it must be changed for one
that has the correct code. A check must also be carried out to ensure that the
data entry details align with this data.

DESCRIPTION
The E.G.T. indicating system uses 11 thermocouple assemblies to measure
E.G.T. The thermocouples are installed in the L.P. turbine stage 1 nozzle guide
vanes.
A thermocouple assembly consists of two thermocouples each contained in a
tube. Each tube has an inlet and an outlet hole. These holes align with inlet and
outlet holes in the L.P.1 N.G.V..
The two tubes are brazed together to make a rounded thermocouple probe.
Each thermocouple probe is installed in the L.P.1 N.G.V. An end plug at the
end of each probe helps it stay rigid and also gives it some wear protection.
Each thermocouple probe passes through a transfer tube assembly. The tube
assembly isolates the case from the hot gas in the thermocouple N.G.V. The
thermocouple assemblies are connected in parallel through two wires. One wire
is made of Nickel Chromium (Chromel) and the other is made of Nickel Aluminium (Alumel). A wire harness connects the, thermocouple set to the E.E.C.

VIBRATION MONITORING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the engine vibration monitoring system is to provide the flight
crew with continuous indication of the state of balance of the engine main rotating assemblies during steady state running conditions.This information can
alert operators to existing or impending engine problems and assist in planning
module renewal, with minimum disruption to aircraft operation.
The transducer converts vibration signals into electrical signals which are sent
to the dual junction box. The signal is then amplified by the remote charge converter to be processed by the engine interface and vibration monitoring unit
(E.I.V.M.U.) and is displayed on the lower screen of the E.C.A.M.

VIBRATION MONITORING
DESCRIPTION
The engine vibration monitoring system contains three primary components:
S The vibration transducer
S The dual junction box
S The remote charge converter
The vibration transducer is a dual output accelerometer and is attached to
the intermediate case. It contains two piezoelectric crystal stack elements.
Each stack element is subjected to a mechanical load from an electrically insulated seismic mass. During operation of the engine, vibration causes the seismic mass to apply pressure to the crystal stack elements to generate electrical signals which are in proportion to the engine vibration frequency.
These signals are then sent to the dual junction box and on to the remotecharge converter this electronic unit amplifies the electrical signal to indicate
the vibration level on the lower screen of the E.C.A.M.

ENGINE CONDITION MONITORING
DESCRIPTION
Ground based Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) computer programmes are
used to analyse data generated by the engine and aircraft during revenue operation.
The engine condition monitoring programme must be able to predict when an
engine is no longer capable of providing, within certified limits, the maximum thrust required for single engine diversion.
The basic instrumentation and full gas path instrumentation are compulsory for Extended Twin Engine Operations (ETOPS) and airlines must use
the data output by this instrumentation.
Provision is made in the basic engine design for instrumentation and
EEC software to facilitate health monitoring and gas path performance analysis
down to component level.
The Airplane Condition Monitoring System (ACMS) is used to record, process and store airplane system data for report generation. The reports generated by the ACMS are then used by ground analysis programmes to monitor engine and other airplane systems for performance and trend analysis.
Engine Health Monitoring ground based software programmes such as
COMPASS Condition Monitoring and Performance Analysis, analyse
data generated by the engine during operation, parameters are selected
from those already processed for engine control and output on the data bus by
the EEC, others are obtained by installing additional tappings/sensors on
the engine with some parameters transmitted via the EEC and others hardwired direct from the sensor to the aircraft ACMS.
flameout is prevented during bad weather conditions (such as heavy rain and/or
hail).

FADEC
GENERAL
A Full Authority Digital Engine Control system (FADEC) controls the
RB211Trent engine.
The FADEC system is made of subsystems working together to form a closed
loop control system, maintaining efficient engine operation at a selected condition ranging from engine start through the takeoff flight/landing operation envelope to engine shutdown.
NOTE: Shutdown is effected by the H.P. fuel shutoff valve torque motor
(see Fuel System), which is hardwired directly from the cockpit, giving the pilot
the ability to operate the shutoff valve at any time. This function has priority
over any automatic H.P. fuel shutoff valve command.
The subsystems are:
S Power generation and conditioning control.
Dedicated Alternator

DEDICATED ALTERNATOR
The Dedicated Alternator supplies primary power to the FADEC system and
provides a speed reference signal of the H.P. shaft speed (N3).
The unit is mounted on the external gearbox and driven by direct drive from
the H.P. shaft N3.
The Alternator consists of two separate three phase stator windings and two
separate single phase stator windings. The associated rotor magnets are connected to a common cantilever shaft. (The shaft does not require bearings).
The three phase circuits provide power to the E.E.C. in the speed range 8% to
125% N3. One of the phase windings in each three phase circuit provides the
E.E.C. with referencing to the H.P. shaft rotational speed.
The two separate single phase circuits provide power to the overspeed protection unit. For This power supply only one single phase is used and the other is
unused.
NOTE:
A swapover can be initiated by the maintenance in case of OPU power supply
problems.

POWER CONTROL UNIT
GENERAL
The P.C.U. is a dual channel unit, it rectifies, filters and regulates power supply
to the respective channel of the Electronic Engine Control Unit to 22V DC and
also conditions power supply to the P20/T20 probe heater, the high energy
ignition circuits and cabin air bleed H.P.V.
The primary source of FADEC power is provided by the Dedicated Alternator.
A secondary backup electrical supply is provided by two aircraft 115V supplies.
The backup supply provides electrical power:
during engine start up
system failure
during ground test
The FADEC power supply is fed into the Power Control Unit (P.C.U.). The Dedicated Alternator power or aircraft power as appropriate is conditioned by the
P.C.U.
The unit is mounted on the fan case inside the suitcase.

POWER CONTROL UNIT CONTINUED
The PCU is a digital unit which has two Channels of operation. The two Channels are identified as Channel A and Channel B.
You can find the PCU installed in an electronicunit protectionbox.
This box is for the protection of the electronic units in the FADEC system.
The PCU outer cover is made of metal and is specially prepared with a layer of
high emissivity paint. This type of paint gives better heat radiation to help keep
the unit cool.
Convection and radiation of heat from the internal power supply modules is
also helped by external fins on the case surfaces.
The PCU contains internal temperature sensors which are continuously monitored by the EEC. If the internal temperature increases more than a specified
limit, the EEC transmits a status message to the cockpit. On the front face of
the outer cover are six electrical receptacles.
The top row of three receptacles are for the Channel A inputs/outputs.
The bottom row of three receptacles are for the channel B inputs/outputs. The
mating electrical connectors for each row of receptacles connect their related
PCU Channel to:
S The EEC
S The EEC Dedicated Alternator
S The aircraft power interfaces.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Engine Control unit is the heart of the FADEC system. It is located on the fancase and is shielded and grounded as protection against (E .
M. I.) Electromagnetic Interference
The E.E.C. unit is a dual channel digital unit.The channels are identified as
channel A and channel B with a communication link between each.
Each channel uses the high integrity computer (H.I.C.) concept to perform
software instructions and utilises dual interfaces to provide a high degree of
fault tolerance.
In normal operation only one channel controls, in the event of certain failurescontrol is transferred to the alternative channel.
The E.E.C. also transmits engine performance data and system test data to the
aircraft which is used in flight deck display, thrust management and condition
monitoring systems.
The E.E.C. automatically exercises full control of the engine to achieve or
maintain a command signal, it automatically controls :
S Engine Starting (Ground & Flight)
S Relighting following flameout detection
S Control of fuel flow (thrust) in both forward and reverse thrust
S V.I.G.V./V.S.V. position
S The Airflow Handling Bleed Valves

EEc DESCRIPTION CONTINUED
The EEC had been designed as a single unit, mounted using antivibration
mountings high on the left hand side of the engine fan case with, and alongside
the PCU and OPU. All three units are contained within a hinged cover
screw sealed box unit.
The two electronic circuits or channels of the EEC are almost the same, each
channel contains circuit boards or cards which match the cards in the other
channel. Each card has a specific function related to it.
The cards within an individual channel are interconnected by a mother board,
each mother board is connected by electronic wiring to the engine and the aircraft.
A wiring loom within the EEC unit connects Channel A to Channel B. Also
within the EEC unit is a pressure module which contains a number of pressure transducers and transducer interface circuits. Each transducer is connected to pressure signal pipes from the engine.
On the side of the EEC unit is a connector for a Data Entry Plug (see
732112) which is attached when the EEC is installed on an engine. The EEC
computer reads the data and applies it to adjust the engine operation characteristics.
An external test socket is incorporated in the EEC. To allow discrete external
test signals to communicate with the EEC computers.
EEC input data is received from the aircraft and engine sensors. All input
data including signals from pressure transducers is checked and conditioned
on entry into the EEC ie. all inputs are multiplexed and therefore, as necessary, converted to digital format. The inputs are also subject to radio frequency interference (RFI) filtering and lightning strike voltage protection.
Temperature System
S The EEC monitors the temperature of the air supplied to the combustion
chamber (through the engine compressors) with three HP compressor exit
thermocouples.The temperature (T30) is used as a control parameter to
make sure an engine flameout is prevented during bad weather conditions
(such as heavy rain and/or hail).
S The EEC monitors the temperature of the air around the IP turbine disk with
IP turbine overheat thermocouples. If the air used to keep the disk cool becomes too hot (forward or rearward of the disk) the EEC transmits a warning for display at the cockpit.
S The EEC monitors the temperature of the fuel downstream of the FMU with
two fuel temperature thermocouples. The fuel temperature and the engine
oil temperature are used as the primary control parameters in the control
and removal of unwanted heat from the engine
S The EEC monitors the fuel flow to the combustion system with a fuel flow
transmitter and calculates the fuel used. Fuel flow and fuel used data is then
transmitted for display at the cockpit.
S The EEC monitors the fuel pressure downstream the LP fuel pump with a
fuel low pressure switch installed adjacent to the fuel outlet connection.
When fuel low pressure is detected a maintenance message is sent by EEC
to the CMS.
Air Data Selection
The EEC initially does a check that each engine or aircraft air data input (P20,
T20 and P0) is correct before it is included in the selection procedure.
Allowance is made for the effects of probe heater operation in relation to the
P20 and the T20 inputs. The selection procedure is then as follows:
Condition 1
If the engine and ADIRU 1 parameters agree then the ADIRU 1 parameter will
be used to calculate the engine ratings. If they do not agree but the engine and
ADIRU 2 parameters agree then the ADIRU 2 parameters will be used.
Condition 2
If the engine and aircraft parameters are at almost the same values then the
aircraft air data parameter will be used (as in condition 1).
Condition 3
If the engine and aircraft parameters are at different values (but their difference
is satisfactory) then a value between these parameters will be used.
Condition 4
If the engine and aircraft parameters are at different values (but their difference
is unsatisfactory) then the engine air data is used. In this condition the EPR
control (in forward thrust) will be continued in relation to the engine P0 and T20
values. But the engine P20 value will have the effect that follows:
S If engine P20 is more than aircraft P20 the EEC will stay in EPR control
S If engine P20 is less than aircraft P20 the EEC will change to N1 reversionary control (rated).

E.E.C. INTEGRITY
DESCRIPTION
The EEC utilises advanced computer technology features. The dual
channels, both interfacing with the aircraft provide a high level of fault tolerance.
Each channel of the EEC contains a High Integrity Computer (HIC). This consists of a control computer and a monitor computer.
Both control and monitor computers access memory, internal data and input
data from the airframe and engine sensors. Both computers process the
data independently and should produce identical output. Output from both
computers is fed into a comparator (parity memory) which is also within the
HIC, any discrepancy results in a request for a channel change and a reset of
the faulty channel. The channel change is achieved without interruption to engine control.
The EEC as a computer, has multiprogrammes of engine model logic. Aircraft engine input data is continuously fed into these programmes for comparison.
Disagreements are processed to generate corrective output signals which are
fed to engine mounted units which control engine operation.
Contingency programmes are built into the EEC to cater for channel failure.
In addition the EEC is programmed with logic to synthesise any primary control
signal loss from available data.
The FADEC system has been designed to provide a high level of fault tolerance ie. following a signal failure, loss of redundancy occurs rather than
loss of function. This provides a system which is safe and reliable and secondly allows tolerance of faults for a limited period of time. This is achieved
by using duplicated engine hardware, and EEC dual channel software.

ENGINE DATA PLUG
The E.E.C. has been designed to control all possible configurations of the engine regardless of individual characteristics.
To provide interchangeability of the unit, specific engine information must be
made available to the E.E.C. i.e.:
S Engine Serial Number
S Thrust Rating
S E.P.R./Thrust Trim Relationship
S Turbine Gas Temperature Trim
S Engine Standard
S Intermix/Retrofit
S Engine Health Monitoring
S Idle Trim
This is achieved by a device known as the Data Entry Plug which plugs into
the E.E.C.
The plug is a dual channel memory device which is programmed with relevant
engine data which is used by the E.E.C. to enable correct engine operation
control.
The Data plug remains with the engine throughout its operational life not with
the E.E.C.

OVERSPEED PROTECTION SYSTEM (OPU)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The OPU is an independent system to the E.E.C.
It is designed to prevent severe L.P. and I.P. shaft overspeed in the event
of severe malscheduling V.S.Vs and/or fuel upward runaway due to fuel metering valve failing open.
In the event of overspeed the unit indirectly signals the fuel shutoff valve
to close.
The primary function of the OPU is to give protection from an N1 or N2 overspeed. These engine shaft speeds are usuallykept in safe limits by redline
limiters in the EEC. But if a failure occurs such that these limiters can not prevent a shaft overspeed the OPU will shut down the engine independently of the
EEC.
The OPU also makes the selection of two satisfactory N1 and N2 compressor
speed signals (from the three available N1 and N2 speed signals) and supplies
the same satisfactory speed signals for each EEC Channel. You can find the
OPU installed to the rear face of the PCU.
The OPU is a two channel digital control unit. It has interfaces with:
S Three speed probes for N1 speed
S Three speed probes for N2 speed
S The EEC for operation of BITE and to transmit N1 and N2 speeds
S The overspeed valve in the FMU.
The OPU outer cover is made of metal. On the front face of the outer cover are
four electrical receptacles. These are used to electrically connect the OPU to:
S The EEC dedicated alternator
S The speed probes
S Each channel of the EEC
S The FMU overspeed torque motor.
The OPU contains a power supplies circuit board, signal conditioning circuit
board and BITE. The power supplies board is used to change the onephase
AC input from the alternator to DC supplies for the OPU. The signal conditioning board is used for the OPU functions and contains two Channels (A and B)
of logic.
The BITE does the selection of two satisfactory N1 and N2 speed signals from
the three available N1 and N2 speed signals. And will transmit data to the EEC
FRA US-T TH NOV 99
for failures of the speed probes, overspeed valve torque motor and OPU circuits.
Signal Conditioning / Overspeed Detection
The speed probe inputs to the OPU are initially sent through probe selection
circuits. BITE controlled relays in these circuits independently supply an N1
and N2 signal to each OPU Channel: but only if they are found to be satisfactory.
The satisfactory signals are also isolated and then transmitted to the EEC for
usual engine control.
Each OPU Channel changes its N1 and N2 analog signal input to a digital signal. These signals are then read by an ASIC which continuously monitors their
values and uses logic to find an overspeed condition.
If an ASIC finds an overspeed condition it will energize its output circuit. If the
ASIC in the other Channel also energizes its output circuit, at the same time,
then the condition is read as TRUE. An electrical signal is then sent to energize the FMU overspeed torque motor. This causes:
S The overspeed valve to operate and close the FMU PRSOV
S The engine to shutdown independently of the usual shutdown control selections.
If one ASIC energizes its output circuit and it reads that the other has not, then
the OPU is automatically disabled. And a failure indication is transmitted
(through the EEC) to the cockpit.

OPU continued
The OPU is made cool by convection and radiation to the air in the protectionbox. Air flows through the box when the LP compressor turns.
The OPU is attached with six bolts to the rear face of the PCU. A bonding strap
is permanently installed to the OPU and connects to one of the PCU mount
brackets.
Thus the OPU is grounded through the PCU.
A unit label and modification label are on the top of the unit. An electrostatic
sensitivedevice warninglabel and an insulationtest warning label are also on
the unit.

TURBINE OVERSPEED PROTECTION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The EEC monitors the LP shaft breakage. The LP TOS (Low Pressure Turbine
OverSpeed) system is designed to accommodate turbine overspeed due to
shaft breakage.
A shaft breakage is detected by a comparison between the speed measured by
the compressor speed probes mounted in the front compressor bearing housing and the turbine speed probes, mounted in the turbine bearing housing.
For LP shaft breakage at any power:
S the fuel flow is automatically shut off via the HPSOV overspeed torque motor.
L P SHAFT BREAKAGE
Three L.P. compressor speed probes send signals of shaft speed to the overspeed protection unit (O.P.U.). This unit makes a selection of two satisfactory
N1 signals and transmits them to the Electronic Engine Controller (E.E.C.).
One N1 signal is supplied to each of the logic lanes A and B on the turbine
overspeed circuit board in the E.E.C. lane A.
Three L.P. turbine speed probes send signals directly to the L.P. Turbine
Overspeed (L.P.T.O.S.) circuit board of the E.E.C. lane A.
Each logic lane is supplied with one N1 signal. If one of these signals is not
satisfactory then the applicable logic lane makes the selection of the alternative signal.
When the L.P. rotor system reaches a speed higher than 1000 R.P.M. the
turbine overspeed protection system is armed. Each logic lane compares the
L.P. compressor speed with its L.P. turbine speed.
If the two logic lanes detect a speed difference between L.P. compressor
and L.P. turbine in a specified time limit it is accepted as a true failure condition. If an L.P. shaft failure is accepted as true the system will signal a closure of the Pressure Raising and Shutoff Valve (P.R.S.O.V.). The engine is
immediately shut down.
Once the fuel flow has been shut off the P.R.S.O.V. is latched in the fuel off
position. If inadvertent shut down occurs the pilot has a reset facility in the
flight deck. If there is a failure of a compressor speed signal, which shows that
overspeed of the turbine is not possible, the related overspeed protection circuits are disarmed.

Turbine Overspeed BITE
The E.E.C. does a test of the L.P. turbine overspeed function during each
ground start pre light up.The B.I.T.E. provides the necessary turbine speed
difference to the turbine overspeed protection circuits to momentarily shut off
the fuel during start sequences. Movement of the P.R.S.O.V. in the F.M.U. to
the closed position is monitored by the E.E.C. Almost immediatel the E.E.C.
cancels the B.I.T.E. test signal to cause the P.R.S.O.V. to become open
again. Therefore the engine start sequence is not stopped by the test. Defects
found during the B.I.T.E. test are stored in the E.E.C. The defects are subsequently transmitted to the Central Maintenance Computer (C.M.C.).

P20 / T20 PROBE
DESCRIPTION
The P20/T20 probe is mounted inside the air intake cowl at 15_ to right of top
dead centre when viewed from rear. The probe measures both engine intake
pressure and temperature.
Temperature 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 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.
P20 / T20 PROBE HEATER CONTROL
The EEC autimatically makes the selection of the T20 / P20 probe heater elements to prevent ice on the probe air inlets.
The elements are set to ON when the engine speed is higher than 10% N1.
And OFF when the engine speed is lower than 10% N1 ( or aircraft is on
ground and the engine speed is lower than 45% N3)
The EEC software allows to perform a probe heater test via the CMC on the
MCDU. This is a active test where the power supply and the temperature increment is checked.
WARNING
If you remove the inner row of nuts the probe will fall into the engine air intake. This can cause injury and/or damage.

THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER MECHANISM
DESCRIPTION
Movement of the flight deck throttle control lever generates a command signal
for the Electronic Engine Control (E.E.C.) unit, which converts the signal to an
E.P.R. value or N1 value. (see FADEC section).
Each throttle lever is mechanically connected to two throttle resolvers which
convert Throttle Lever Angle (T.L.A.) into a Throttle Resolver Angle (T.R.A.)
command signal.
The resolvers are independent but produce the same output signal. Each resolver is dedicated to one channel of the E.E.C.
The throttle control lever moves a total arc path of approximately 55 degrees.
Forward thrust is selected by moving the lever through an arc > 4.5 degrees.
Reverse thrust is selected by moving the reverse thrust lever through an arc
of 96 degrees.

BASIC CONTROL LOOPSTEADY STATE
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Engine Control (E.E.C.) receives a command signal from the
flight deck Throttle Resolver (T.R.A.) which is converted by the E.E.C. into an
Engine Pressure Ratio (E.P.R.) or N1 demand.
Alternatively the E.E.C. receives a F.M.G.E.C./autothrust computed E.P.R.signal. The E.E.C. also receives signals from engine mounted and aircraft (air
data) sensors.
The command signal and other relevant input signals are processed
within the E.E.C. Output control signals are transmitted to engine accessory
mounted control units.
The primary engine control unit being the Fuel Metering Unit (F.M.U.). Insidethe F.M.U., a torque motor receives the E.E.C. output signal.The torque motor
modulates fuel servo pressur to move the Fuel Metering Valve (F.M.V.) which is
integral of the F.M.U.
Indirectly the F.M.V. is adjusted to control fuel flow to match an E.P.R./thrust
demand signal.
Once operating, many of the engine accessories feed status signals back to
the E.E.C. e.g. movement of the F.M.V. is sensed by a double resolver which
feeds back a position signal to the E.E.C.
The E.E.C. uses these feedback signals to make comparisons with software
logic and as a consequence of any disagreement, process output signals to
engine control units as necessary i.e. adjust fuel schedule accordingly.

THRUST MODES
Manual Mode
When in manual mode the flight deck throttle levers are used exclusively to
control engine thrust.
Automatic Thrust Control
The auto thrust function provides automatic computation of the thrust level
to be set in order to achieve the desired aircraft flight characteristics.
NOTE: During takeoff the automatic thrust control is not active.
The automatic thrust control function is part of the auto flight system: i.e. the
auto thrust system interfaces with the aircraft flight management guidance
envelope computers which receive and provide output signals to control the
aircraft flight services via the electronic flight controls system (E.F.C.S.) and to
the engines via the FADEC.
When the auto thrust function is active, moving the throttle lever (T.L.A.) into
idle, climb or maximum continuous detents, command the auto thrust function
accordingly
Memo Mode
This is a transitive mode of thrust control between the autothrust mode and
manual mode of the autothrust function.
When the autothrust mode is deactivated and the throttle levers are set on the
max continuous or max climb detent points, the E.E.C. will enter the memo
thrust mode.
In this mode the thrust demand is locked by the E.E.C prior to exiting autothrust mode.This is to prevent potential thrust step changes which may occur
when reverting from autothrust to manual mode.

THRUST SETTING
E.P.R. Control
The E.E.C. controls the engine to an E.P.R. schedule during manual operating conditions.
If the autothrust function is active then the E.E.C. controls the engine to an
E.P.R. target supplied by the F.M.G.E.C.
N1 Reverse Thrust Control
The E.E.C. controls the engine to an N1 reverse schedule if the T.R.A. indicates that the pilot has selected the reverse thrust lever.
N1 Reversionary Control
The E.E.C. controls the engine to an N1 reversionary schedule e.g. as a result
of pilot command or loss of actual E.P.R. parameters.
There are 2 forms of N1 reversionary control :
S Rated N1 Reversionary Mode
The E.E.C. calculates an E.P.R. command as in the E.P.R. control mode.
The E.E.C. then converts this E.P.R. command into an N1 command using a
simple lookup table and the engine is controlled using this N1 command.
S Unrated N1 reversionary Mode
The E.E.C. sets the forward idle detent position equal to idle N1 and the max
takeoff detent position equal to redline N1.
The E.E.C. then interpolates between the two N1 speeds so as to maintain an
approximately linear thrust vs T.R.A. relationship between the two detent positions.
The engine is then controlled using this N1 command.
A330
RR Trent 700
Idle Control
At idle the EEC controls the engine so to prevent the engine being operated
below certain minimum operating limits.
The limits are:
S minimum P30 limiter
minimum P30 pressure demand necessary to maintain nacelle, wing and
ECS bleed air requirements
S minimum N1 limiter
minimum N1 shaft speed to prevent icing of the spinner
FRA US-T TH NOV 99
S minimum N3 limiter
minimum N3 shaft speed necessary to maintain aircraft services and
allow acceleration to go-around thrust setting mode within a predefined
time limit
S minimum fuel flow limiter
minimum fuel flow limiter to maintain combustion integrity
S minimum T30
minimum T30 necessary to protect against adverse weather conditions
ENGINE RATING
To cater for FADEC E.E.C .interchangeability, the E.E.Cs memories stored
with rating information to cater for up to ten possible different rated engines.
The rating information is stored in the form of tables. The table to be used by
the E.E.C. is selected using rating index data stored within the Data Entry
Plug (D.E.P.).
Basic E.P.R. Rating
The E.E.C. calculates the E.P.R. value corresponding to:
S Maximum Takeoff/GoAround
S Flexible Takeoff
S Maximum Continuous
S Maximum Climb
S Maximum Takeoff/GoAround
This is the maximum thrust which the engine can give for takeoff under the
ambient conditions.
Flexible Takeoff/Derated Takeoff
The Trent engine is flatrated i.e. thrust versus ambient temperature/pressure
relationship up to a kinkpoint temperature. After this kinkpoint the thrust that
the engine can produce decreases due to T.E.T. limitations.
The flexible takeoff system allows the pilot (or by derate selection) to specify
a modified ambient temperature greater than the maximum takeoff kink point
temperature which reduces the engine thrust output as a factor of aircraftweight.

FEED OIL, LUBRICATION AND COOLING
General
Feed oil is circulated by a single pressure pump which draws oil from the oil
tank through a gauze strainer.
The oil system is protected against pressures exceeding 635 psi by a pump
relief valve which relives excess pressure back to the pump inlet. Excessive
pressure may be due to very cold oil or system blockage.
Feed oil is cleaned by a 125 micron filter. A differential pressure switch monitors filter condition and provides a flight deck indication that the filter is becoming clogged, this switch is set to operat at a differential pressure of 13 psi.
The A.O.H.E. combined with the F.C.O.C. will keep the oil and fuel temperatures within specified limits. Fan air (cool) is supplied to the A.O.H.E. to decrease the oil temperature when significant oil cooling is required. The fan
air is shutoff when the F.C.O.C. can control the oil/fuel temperature on its
own.
From the A.O.H.E. the oil is supplied to the F.C.O.C., this component has
two functions. The primary function is to decrease the temperature of the oil.
The secondary function is to increase the temperature of the fuel. This will prevent the water content in the fuel from forming into ice particles and blocking
the filter.
The fuel filter is fitted in the bottom of the F.C.O.C.
A 330
RR Trent 700
The F.C.O.C. has two bypass valves. One is the oil pressure bypass to
give protection to the cooler core. The other is fuel filter bypass which operates when the filter becomes clogged. An antisyphon tube prevents oil suction from the F.C.O.C. during engine shut down.
Oil is returned from each of the six primary lubricated locations of the engine
and the breather ( air / oil separator )
The lubrication locations are as follows:
S The front bearing chamber
S The internal gearbox
S The HP / IP bearing chamber
S The LP bearing chamber
S The intermediate gearbox assembly
S The external gearbox
Oil from each location is drawn by its own vane type scavenge element, fitted
in the oil pump assembly. Provision is made for magnetic chip detectors to be
fitted in each of the oil return lines for trouble shooting.
Oil outlet from the scavange pumps join to form a combined scavange return
flow and is sampled by a master MCD before passing through a 30 micron filter. The filter has a bypass valve that will function at 20 PSI pressure differential. Filter condition is monitored by a pressure differential switch set at 13 PSI
to provide flight deck indication of impending bypass.
Temperature sensors are located in the scavenge return line between the scavenge filter and the tank to provide flight deck indication of oil temperature.
The oil returned to the tank is discharged over a deaerator tray to release the
entrained air prior to circulation.
From the F.C.O.C. the feed oil is supplied through external tubes to the main
engine bearings, gears and drives.

VENTING SYSTEM
General
Oil loss from the main bearing chambers is prevented by the use of grooved
labyrinth seals pressurised by air. To contain the oil within the bearing chambers air enters the annular space between the stationary and rotating parts of
the seal. The airflow inwards across the seal opposes any escaping oil and
carries it back into the bearing chambers.
To maintain the pressure drop across the seals, the bearing chambers with
the exception of the L.P. turbine bearing chamber are vented by external
tubes to the centrifugal breather. The pressure drop across the seals is
controlled by restrictors in the vent return tubes. For the L.P. bearing housing
the scavenge pump is able to maintain the pressure drop.
The centrifugal breather separates the air and oil before directing the air to
atmosphere, the oil is scavenged from the breather housing back to the oil
tank.
The remaining sealing air which is returned to the oil tank with the scavenge oil is separated from the oil by the deaerator cone in the oil tank.
The separated air is vented by an external tube to the centrifugal breather.

tray 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 its own scavenge pump
element.

HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The function of the heat management system is to keep the engine oil and
fuel temperature within specified limits to contribute to achieving the best
engine performance. To do this an Air Oil Heat Exchanger (A.O.H.E.) and a
Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (F.C.O.C.) are used.
A.O.H.E.
The A.O.H.E. is fitted on the right hand side of the L.P. compressor case and
consists of two main components:
S Heat Exchanger Assembly
S Air Modulating Valve
The operation of the A.O.H.E. is controlled by the E.E.C. The E.E.C. uses data
collected from oil temperature sensors and fuel thermocouples to control the
A.O.H.E.
The E.E.C. monitors these temperatures and makes sure they remain within
limits. If they are not then the E.E.C. will send a signal to the torque motor in
the servo valve. Signals from the E.E.C. move the torque motor which causes
the spool valve to move. As the spool valve moves it allows servo fuel to
the applicable side of the piston and moves it. The movement of the piston will,
through a linkage, turn the air modulating valve to give the best airflow necessary through the heat exchanger.

HEAT MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
The A.O.H.E. has two modes.
Mode 1
S Air modulating valve fully closed. This mode is for usual conditions. No airflow through the heat exchanger. Temperature of oil and fuel can be controlled by the F.C.O.C. operation only.
Mode 2
S Air modulating valve turns to L.P. compressor airflow open position. This
mode is used when cool air is required to lower the temperature of the oil.
S In mode two the air modulating valve is fully adjustable between its minimum and maximum open position.The position of the valve is controlled by
the E.E.C .adjusting the valve to the best position.This position is when sufficient cool air is used for the A.O.H.E. to function, with minimum decrease
in engine performance. An oil spring attached to the pinion gear will move
the valve to mode two, if there is a system failure.

FUEL COOLED OIL COOLER
DESCRIPTION
The F.C.O.C. has two functions:
The primary function is to reduce the temperature of the oil and the secondary function is to increase the temperature of the fuel, this will prevent the
water content in the fuel from turning to ice.
The oil flow through the core is made slower by many baffle plates around the
steel tubes. The slower oil enhances the exchange of heat. If the oil pressure in
the F.C.O.C. becomes more than a specified limit a bypass valve will open
and relieve the pressure back to the oil inlet. An antisyphon hole connects the
inlet to the outlet to prevent oil suction from the F.C.O.C. during engine shut
down. The fuel filter is fitted in the bottom of the F.C.O.C. this filter has a by
pass valve which will operate if the filter becomes clogged.

I.D.G. OIL COOLING
INTRODUCTION
The Integrated Drive Generator (I.D.G.) is the primary source of A.C. electrical power supply to the aircraft. Each engine has an I.D.G. mounted on the
left hand side rear face of the external gearbox. An oil system which is an integral part of the I.D.G., lubricates the I.D.G. bearings and keeps it cool. The
system is connected to an external Air Cooled Oil Cooler (A.C.O.C.) to keep
the oil temperature at a satisfactory level.
DESCRIPTION
The I.D.G. includes a Constant Speed Drive (C.S.D.) and an A.C. generator
installed in the one housing.
The C.S.D. maintainsa constant output speed of 24,000 R.P.M., thus the
generator turns at a constant speed of 24,000 R.P.M.
The I.D.G. has an oil system which lubricates the generator bearings and
keeps it cool. The I.D.G. has a pressure filling point, a drain point and an oil
level sight glass. In the scavenge part of the oil system there is a filter that can
be removed. A popout button gives visual indication that the filter is clogged.
But when the oil is cold a bimetal element prevents this function.

DESCRIPTION
The A.C.O.C. i a simple air oil heat exchanger, mounted on the lower L.H. side
of the L.P. compressor case. Hot oil from the I.D.G. flows through the matrix,
where it is cooled by L.P. compressor air, before returning to the I.D.G. There
is a pressure relief valve (bypass) between the oil inlet and outlet connections. If the oil is cold it will not flow easily through the matrix therefore thevalve will open and the oil bypasses the A.C.O.C.

INTRODUCTION
The function of the system is to receive fuel from the aircraft tanks and deliver
conditioned metered fuel into the combustion chamber for ignition.
The fuel system is divided into
S Fuel Control
S Fuel Supply
Fuel control is achieved electromechanically by the FADEC system or
E.E.C., interfacing with the Fuel Metering unit which is integral with the fuel
supply system.
Note: FADEC control principles is covered in FADEC section.
The fuel supply system is required to:
S Uplift the fuel delivery pressure sufficient to cater for system pressure drop
and fuel metering.
S To heat the fuel in cold conditions.
S To filter the fuel.
S To meter the fuel delivery to satisfy engine thrust requirement.
S To finely atomise the fuel and air mix during injection into the combustor.
S Incorporate independent devices to shutoff fuel delivery to the combustor,
in the event of severe shaft overspeed conditions and extremely unlikely
shaft failures.
S Incorporate a flight deck manually operated fuel shutoff valve.

FUEL COMPONENTS
Low Pressure Pump (L.P.P.)
The pump receives fuel from the aircraft system and ensures satisfactory pressure to the High Pressure Pump (H.P.P.). The pump has a single stage
centrifugal impeller.
Low Pressure Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler
Fuel from the L.P.P. passes through the cooler to act as an oil cooling medium, and conversely for the oil to heat the fuel.
Low Pressure Filter
The low pressure filter is a 40 micron noncleanable element housed in a casing separate but common with the Low Pressure Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler
unit. The filter provides fuel filtration before the fuel enters the High
Pressure system.
A pressure differential switch is incorporated across the filter working at
5 psid and giving a flight deck warning. The bypass operates at 25 psid.

FUEL SPRAY NOZZLES
24 off fuel spray nozzles (F.S.Ns) are used on the Trent engine. They are cast
body fabrications of simplex air spray design. Fuel is delivered to the F.S.N.
then through the body (feed arm) to the swirl chamber head for atomisation
and air mix before entry into the combustor.
A weight type distributor valve is fitted inside the feed arm used to control the
individual fuel delivery pressure, to match all the F.S.Ns output during low
flow conditions i.e. engine start, and decent.
The fuel enters the swirl chamber and is partially atomised and centrifuged by
the tangential entry ports, H.P. delivery air passes into the rear of the swirl
chamber mixing with the fuel, the air/fuel is swirled by a series of vanes before
exiting the swirl chamber.

GENERAL
The function of the IP and HP compressor airftow control system is to keep a
smooth airftow through the IP and HP compressor. It also controls the votume
of airftow through the IP and HP compressors. The system makes sure of the
correct operation of the compressors durlng all ranges of operation. The IP and
HP compressor airftow control system has one stage of Variable Inlet Guide
Vanes (VIGVs) and two stages of IP compressor Variable Stator Vanes
(VSVs). The VIGVs and VSVs control the angle at whlch the alrflow ls supplied
to the first three stages of the IP compressor. The angle of the VIGVs and
VSVs is changed to adapt to different conditions of compressor operation. This
helps to prevent a statl /surge condition in the IP and HP compressors. The
volume of airflow through the IP and HP compressors is controlled by four IP
and three HP bleed vatves. At lower engine speeds the bleed valves bleed air
from the IP and HP compressors to prevent a stall /surge condition. The bleed
valves are closed at higher engine speeds to provide full airflow through the IP
and HP compressors.
The IP and HP compressor airflow control system includes:
S a VSV control unit
S two VSV actuators
S a VIGV/VSV actuating mechanism
S a bleed valve controller
S four IP bleed valves
S three HP bleed valves

V.I.G.V./V.S.V. OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The V.I.G.V./V.S.V. control unit is fitted on the lower left hand side of the
compressor intermediate case, the unit consists of the following:
S A Constant Pressure Valve
S A Torque Motor
S A Pressure Drop Regulator
S A Control Servo Valve
The diagram below shows the actuators on the high speed stops therefore
V.I.G.Vs/V.S.Vs are fully open, there is no signal coming from the E.E.C. to
the torque motor it remains in a neutral position. In this position it can be seen
that the control servo valve is covering the outlet ports to the actuators and
there is a hydraulic lock across the piston. Fuel from the fuel pumps passes
through a constant pressure valve which maintains the supply pressure to
the torque motor and the return pressure from the torque motor at a constant
pressure drop.
The torque motor flapper valve controls the flow of servo pressure (extend
and retract pressure) to the control servo valve. The torque motor flapper
valve is controlled by electrical signals from the E.E.C. There are two signals
from the E.E.C. to two coils, only one signal is used at any one time.
Energising one of the coils can move the flapper in two directions, the direction
is dependent upon the E.E.C. signal. When the flapper moves closer to one
nozzle and away from the other nozzle. This causes an out of balance condition in the hydraulic circuit.
The flapper valve near to a nozzle decreases the fuel flow from that nozzle to
the L.P. return.This increases the servo pressure at one end of the control
servo valve. Movement of the flapper valve away from the nozzle increases the
flow of fuel from that nozzle to L.P. return. This decreases the servo pressure
at one end of the servo control valve.

closed position of the HP bleed valves.
If these signals are not available the EEC uses signals based on a pressure
ratio. The EEC can also use signals from the throttle resolver position angle to
set each bleed valve.

DESCRIPTION CONTINUED
The four I.P. compressor stage 8 and the three H.P. compressor stage 3 bleed
valves are controlled by five solenoid valves contained in one unit.
Two solenoid valves operate the four I.P. bleed valves in pairs. One of the solenoid valves operates the I.P.bleed valves fitted at the top right and bottom left
of the I.P. compressor intermediate case. The remaining three solenoid valves
each operate one of the three H.P. bleed valves fitted to the combustion
chamber outer case.
H.P. compressor stage 3 air is supplied to each solenoid valve when the solenoid valve is energised by the E.E.C. it vents H.P. 3 air servo pressure, which
is keeping the bleed valve open, to atmosphere. This allows bleed air from the
compressor to close the bleed valve(s). When the solenoid is not energised
H.P. 3 air servo pressure is supplied from the solenoid valve(s). This H.P. 3
servo pressure combined with a spring in the bleed valve(s) holds the valve in
the open position and I.P. and H.P. compressor air flows into the bypass casing.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The system improvesengine performance by decreasing the I.P. turbine blade
tip clearance in the stable cruise mode. At all other flight conditions the system
allows the I.P. turbine blade tip clearance to increase. A secondary function is
to keep the I.P. / L.P. turbine casing temperatures within satisfactory limits.
This is achieved by directing a controlled flow of cooling to the outside of the
I.P. turbine casing allowing the casing to contract decreassing the blade tip
clearance, however by shutting off the air supply the casing will expand increasing blade tip clearance.
NOTE: When the valve is closed there is a small clearance, this allows a minimum supply of air to the I.P. / L.P. casing for satifactory cooling.
OPERATION
The diagram below shows the main components in the TCC system:
S TCC manifold
S TCC actuator
S TCC air manifold
S TCC liner assembly
The diagram shows the valve in the fuuly open position which is the mode in
stable cruise conditions where it is necessary to decrease the tip clearance of
the I.P. turbine blades.
When specified flight conditions occur the EEC transmits a signal to the solenoid, this allows HP3 air to go through and enter the actuator and the piston
extends to open the butterfly valve. A much larger quantity of L.P. compressor
air will flow through the valve and around the manifold.
The air flows through two rows of holes onto the I.P. turbine casing, this causes
a decrease in casing temperature and a subsequent decrease in I.P. tip clearance.
The air also flows through the L.P. turbine casing cooling liner assembly to decrease the temperature of the L.P. turbine casing.
At all other flight conditions the EEC de-energises the solenoid and cuts off the
supply of H.P. 3 air to the actuator. The actuator spring now causes the piston
to retract and close the butterfly valve. The flow of cooling air in the manifold is
now greatly reduced and thus the I.P. turbine tip clearance now increases.
If there is an electrical failure the spring closes the butterfly valve.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ZONE 1
Zone 1 is the annular space between the low pressure (L.P.) compressor case
and the fan cowl doors. The zone runs longitudinally from a fireproof bulkhead
at the rear of the nose cowl and the firewall. This zone houses most of the fuel
and oil accessories and is ventilated by ram air ducted through the air intake
cowl and is exhausted through an opening in the lower part of the right hand
hinge cowl.
If the zone pressure exceeds a predetermined value then a pressure relief
door will open. This door is located in the lower part of the left hand hinge cowl.
also two pressure relief doors, in the event of air pressure increasing above a
predetermined value.
ZONE 2
Zone 2 is the annular space between the intermediate pressure (I .P.) compressor and the gas generator fairings. There are six of these fairings which
are removable. This zone contains the actuators for the variable inlet guidevanes (V.I.G.Vs) and variable stator vanes (V.S.Vs) and related fuel supply
tubes. It also includes oil supply and scavenge tubes. Air enters the zone
through two holes at the top rear of the zone. It flows around the zone to decrease the temperature of the components, and to prevent the collection of
fumes in the area.
The air exhausts into the bypass casing through four holes in the front of the
gas generator fairings. The holes are big enough to ensure a satisfactory
flow of air through the zone.
ZONE 3
Zone 3 is the annular space between the gas generator and the inner surface
of the thrust reverser C ducts. The inner surface of the zone includes the
combustion and turbine cases.
Separation of zone 1 and 3 air is catered for by seals on the C duct mating
surfaces.
Zone 3 is known as the hot zone which contains some of the hydraulic components which operate the thrust reverser pivot doors. It also contains oil supply
and scavenge tubes, fuel manifold and drain tubes.
The airflow comes from the L.P. compressor entering the zone through ducts
in the inner surface of the C ducts. It flows through the zone to decrease the
temperature of the components and prevent the collection of fumes in the area.
In the bottom of the C duct longitudinal beam is an exit for the air, there is

NACELLE TEMPERATURE INDICATION
GENERAL
Attached to the bottom of the engine at 06:00 position there is a thermocouple
probe which monitors the nacelle air temperature. If there is a sudden incrase
of this temperature there will be an electrical input to the EEC channel A. The
EEC then transmit an indication to the cockpit.
DESCRIPTION
S The temperature indication system includes a thermocouple probe and an
electrical harness which connects it to the EEC. The probe body has a
flange to install the unit, and an receptacle for connection of the harness. To
the rear the probe extends from the body as a longer sensor tube. This unit
is a assembly and cannot disassembled.
S At the bottom of the core engine on the front flange of the combustion outer
case there is a bracket. The probe is attached to this bracket by two nuts
and bolts, and the sensor extends rearwards across the zone.This part is
held in position by two clamps. The electrical harness is connected at the
receptacle and it goes forward to the EEC.
INTERFACE
The analog signal from the nacelle temperature thermocouple is received by
the EEC, trimmed down by a coefficient of 0,788 and digitalized by the EEC
and sent as EEC ARINC output to the DMC for display on the SD, and to the
FWC for warning activation.
CONTROL AND INDICATION
The nacelle temperature is indicated
in green colour in normal operation
in green pulsing colour if the temperature exceeds 260_ C ( advisory )
The indication above is replaced by the starter valve indication on engine start
selection.

ELECTRONIC UNIT PROTECTION BOX
This is a rectangular box which is positioned in zone 1. It contains the E.E.C.
the power control unit (P.C.U.) andthe overspeed protection unit (O.P.U.) and
protects these units from heat and flame.
The box has a curve which aligns with the contour of the engine case and the
hinged cowl.The box is made of titanium.
When the lid is opened more than 75 _ it will automatically lock.The lid is held
closed by 26 quick release fasteners.
The routing of all electrical cables to the components is through fire/fume seals.
The box is kept externally cool by the zone 1 airflow.
Intake air also enters a tube which takes the air into the box as far as the
O.P.U. This cooling air passes through the box and out through a tube in the
lower wall. The tube goes down and forward across the L.P. compressor case
and lets the air bleed back into the air intake through different outlets.

HP FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE
The high pressure fuel shutoff valve is electrically controlled by a torque motor
in the FMU
It opens with fuel pressure coming from the fuel metering valve provided the
torque motor is enrgized
There is a second torque motor, overspeed torque motor, which can be activated by the OPU or LPTOS in case of engine overspeed.
Note that the command from the master switch takes priority over the EEC.
The low pressure fuel shut off valve is normally controlled by the engine master
switch.
The low pressure fuel shutoff valve opens when the master switch slave relay
is deenergized ( Master switch in ON ) and provided the ENG FIRE switch is
not released out.
The low pressure fuel shutoff valve closes when it receives a shut signal
through the master switch slave relay by setting the master control switch to
OFF.
The low pressure fuel shutoff valve also closes when it receives a shutoff signal
from the ENG FIRE pushbutton in the released out position.

GENERAL
Ice may form on the leading edge of the nose cowl when the engine is operating in conditions of low temperature and high humidity.
Ice build up in, and on the inlet cowl could affect engine performance and could
cause compressor damage from ice ingestion. To prevent ice formation antiicing protection is provided in the following areas:
S The Nose Cowl leading edge (Thermal)
S The P20/T20 Probe (Thermal)
S The Spinner (Dynamic)
NOSE COWL ANTIICING
This is achieved by ducting hot air from the 3rd stage of the H.P. compressor to
a spray ring fitted in a D shaped chamber formed in the front of the nose cowl.
Fitted in the ducting is a pressure regulating and shut off valve (P.R.S.O.V.).
Used hot air is vented overboard through an exhaust grill located in the nose
cowl outer skin lower left hand side.
SPINNER ANTIICING
The spinner is protected from ice build up by a solid rubber nose tip which vibrates naturally to break up and dislodge the ice immediately it starts to form.

ANTIICING SYSTEM OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
Air is taken from the third stage of the engine H.P. compressor. On selection of
the antiicing switch light to ON the P.R.S.O.V. opens and air passes through
ducting to the spray ring.
The discharge of air onto the lip skin is through 4 staggered rows of holes in
the spray ring.
The supply duct inside the nose cowl is completely enclosed by the exhaust
duct. This design ensures that if the supply duct in the nose cowl or spray
ring was to burst the airflow from the burst would discharge overboard with no
adverse structural affect.
Where the supply duct enters the nose cowl there is a venturi which acts as a
flow restrictor during system operation.
High and low pressure switches are provided downstream of the P.R.S.O.V.
to indicate system malfunction.
Selection of antiicing is by pushing the ENGINE ANTIICE switch light located on the flight deck overhead panel.
When the system is selected a white ON light is shown on the switch light
and a green ENGAICE message is displayed on the upper E.C.A.M. screen
If the low pressure switch operation does not agree wIth the switch light selected position the FAULT warning and MASTER CAUT comes on, the failure
is also shown on the upper E.C.A.M. screen as an amber warning.
There is also an aural warning. The FAULT warning light comes o during
valve transit from on to off and vice versa.
If pressure downstream of the P.R.S.O.V. becomes excessive the high pressure switch will function, this operation gives indication to the flight deck and
produces a maintenance message.
The complete system has been designed to permit aircraft despatch locked
fully closed or fully open.

OPERATION
The antiicing valve P.R.S.O.V. is of the butterfly type and has two functions.
It acts as the system ON/OFF valve and when selected ON controls the maximum outlet pressure to 75 PSI.
The schematic drawing of the valve shown below comprises:
S Butterfly valve
S A double headed diaphragm type piston
S A pilot regulator valve to control system pressure
S High and low pressure switches
S A filter
S ON/OFF solenoid
The valve is shown in the open position, this would be the position when anti
icing is selected ON by the flight crew. The solenoid is deenergised and a
spring has opened the vent from the upper chamber.
Pressure upstream of the butterfly valve passes through the filter to the upper
and middle chambers.
It can be seen the middle chamber pressure combined with the spring has a
greater force than the upper chamber, therefore the vale is open.
During operation if the pressure downstream of the butterfly valve exceeds the
design system maximum pressure, that pressure acts on the piston of the pilot
regulating valve. The piston moves to the right overcoming the spring force
(this has a value set to control downstream maximum pressure) and increases the size of the variable restrictor orifice. This has the effect of reducing
the pressure in the middle chamber, the force in the upper chamber is now
greater than the combined middle chamber and spring force and the piston
moves down closing the butterfly valve which reduces downstream pressure
within the design limits.
Before start up with no airflow in the system the butterfly valve remains open
by the action of the spring. As soon as a start is initiated the solenoid is energised and closes the vent. Air pressure in the upper chamber now has a force
greater than the combined spring and middle chamber force, therefore the
valve closes and will remain closed until selected ON by the flight crew, when
the solenoid will be deenergised to open and vent the upper chamber.
In the event of a power failure to the solenoid the butterfly valve will open.

P.R.S.O.V. MANUAL OVERRIDE
To prevent aircraft delays due to nonoperation of the antiicing valve, the
valve can be locked in the fully open position or fully closed position.
This is done by cutting the locking wire securing the locking pin, removing it
and manually wrenching the hexagon selector to the closed or open position.
Refit the locking pin and replace the wire locking.

THRUST REVERSER
INTRODUCTION
The thrust reverser assists the wheel brakes in decelerating the aircraft
quickly and safely on landing.
The thrust reverser is an integral part of the fan stream duct and comprises of
two C shaped ducts hinged at the top to the aircraft pylon. The C ducts
can be opened to provide access to the core engine. Actuation of the thrust
reverser movements is initiated when the pilot has his throttle lever in the idle
detent, and the thrust reverser lever which is mounted on the pilots throttle lever (piggy back) is moved to reverse thrust (deploy select) or vice versa (stow
select).
The thrust reverser pivot doors are operated hydraulically utilising the aircraft
hydraulic system pressure. The E.E.C. controls the actuation of the thrust reverser doors via two control valves, the Isolation Valve (I.v.) and the Directional
Control Valve (D.C.V.). Ground/air sensors ensure that the thrust reverser can
only be operated on the ground.
There is a stow switch and a Rotary Variable Transducer (R.V.T.) for each door
to indicate to the E.E.C. the position of each pivot door.
These signals are used for thrust reverser control and thrust scheduling purposes. The thrust reverser can be locked out in forward thrust position to allow aircraft despatch with an inoperative thrust reverser.
THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM
The picture below is showing a cross section of the C ducts showing the pivot
doors in the forward and reverse thrust position. When the pivot doors are in
reverse thrust position a moveable plate has moved to expose a deflector
plate (kicker plate).
These plates control the efflux of fan airflow while in reverser thrust. When the
pivot door is in the stowed position the moveable plate aligns flush with the inner duct.

SYSTEM OPERATION
SELECTING REVERSE THRUST (DEPLOY)
When the thrust reverser is selected a signal is sent to the E.E.C. The E.E.C.
will have monitored the condition of the system, if satisfied it will send a signal
to the Isolation Solenoid Valve (I.S.V.). On receipt of this signal the I.S.V. will
open a valve to allow hydraulic pressure to pass to the Directional Control
Valve (D.C.V.) where pressure will be directed to the stow side of the actuators to overstow, this enables the locks to be released when selected.
When the throttle is at idle and the aircraft is on the ground and the E.E.C.
has monitored the release of the electrically controlled locks (third locks) the
deploy solenoid is energised and hydraulic pressure is directed to release the
primary door locks. The primary locks are released in sequence and when the
last lock is released hydraulic pressure is directed to the actuators via the
D.C.V.
This pressure releases the secondary locks inside the actuators to extend
the rams and comence opening the pivot doors.
Stow switches will function and send a signal to the E.E.C. to give an indication
in the flight deck that the doors are not stowed.
Rotary Variable Transformers (R.V.T.) detect movement of the doors towards
full deployment and will send position signals to the E.E.C. If the doors do not
deploy correctly the E.E.C. will signal the D.C.V. to auto restow. When the
pivot doors reach the fully deployed position the R.V.T. via the E.E.C. will give
visual indication in the flight deck that all four pivot doors have fully deployed.
If the reverser will not deploy or auto restow the E.E.C. will not let the engine
power go above reverse idle.
The stow switches send electrical signals to the E.E.C. to give an indication in
the flight deck that the pivot doors are stowed.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
OPERATION
The hydraulic control system consists of two Line Replacement Units
(L.R.U.s). The I.S.V., fitted in the aircraft pylon, which isolates the thrust reverser hydraulic system from the aircraft supply when the thrust reverser is not
in use i.e. aircraft in normal flight.
The D.C.V., fitted on the C duct front frame, which directs pressure to the
actuators to deploy or stow the pivot doors. The diagram below shows the
system in the forward thrust position (Stow). I.S.V. deenergises shutting off
the hydraulic supply to the D.C.V. The D.C.V. deenergises to the stow position.
The actuator piston head and rod ends connected to return. Pivot door locks
mechanically locked and vented to return.
There is no pressure to the pressure switch therefore no flight deck indication.

HYDRAULIC OPERATION
DEPLOY SELECTED
When a deploy selection has been made in the flight deck and all the deploy
conditions are met as previously explained, the I.S.V. and D.C.V. solenoids are
energised.
Hydraulic pressure is passed to the D.C.V. and is directed to the actuator piston rod end to overstow and to the pivot door locks to release the primary
locks, the third locks are also released electrically. The pressure switch functions when hydraulic pressure has passed through the isolation valve and provides a signal to both channels of the E.E.C. The purpose of the switch is to
assist in fault diagnosis. There will only be an indication in the flight deck when
the isolation valves commanded position and the pressure switch position do
not agree. At this point in the sequencing the actuator piston head end is still
connected to return.

DEPLOY SEOUENCE CONTINUED
When the last of the four pivot door locks is released pressure is directed to the
D.C.V. control valve chamber. As the pressure builds up it moves the
D.C.V. control valve to the deploy position closing off the actuator piston
head end to return and connecting it to pressure. This pressure releases the
secondary locks inside the actuators and all four pivot doors move to the
deployed position.
Note: It can be seen from the diagram below that both head end and rod end
are open up to pressure. However, the head end of the piston has the greater
surface area which extends the actuators. The displaced oil from the rod end
joins the pressure to the actuator head end.

PRIMARY LOCKS
When the I.S.V. and D.C.V. solenoids are energised, hydraulic pressure is directed to the lock in port of one of the primary locks.
This pressure moves the release plunger which moves the latch lever and
roller away from the lock hooks. Movement of the release piston movesa valve
to allow pressure to the lock out port to release the next lock in the sequence, when pressure reaches the fourth lock pressure from its lock out port
is sent to the D.C.V. and directed to the four actuators to deploy the pivot
doors. As the pivot doors move the door pin mechanically moves the hook out
of the way. The hook spring will keep the hook in the released position and
also keep the latch lever and roller in the unlocked position even in the absence
of pressure on the release piston.
When a stow selection is made the D.C.V. solenoid is deenergised and removes the pressure from the lock in port the piston spring moves the release
plunger out of the way. The action of the pivot doors closing, mechanically
moves the hook into the locked position, the latch spring moves the latch lever
and roller into a position to keep the hook locked.

ACTUATORS AND SECONDARY LOCKS
OPERATION
The actuators contain the secondary locks which consist of a tine lock attached
to the piston head, a lock release sleeve, a spring and a manual lock release.
The diagram below shows the secondary lock engaged by the spring keeping
the release sleeve in a position preventing the tine lock releasing.
When the thrust reverser is selected to deploy the D.C.V. sequences hydraulic pressure to piston rod end of the actuator, first this moves the actuator to
overstow which will assist in releasing the tine lock. The next part of the sequencing is tha the D.C.V. directs hydraulic pressure to the piston head end of
the actuator and moves the lock release sleeve this allows disengagement of
the tine lock and hydraulic pressure extends the actuator deploying the pivot
doors.
At 95% of deployment snubbing takes place to slow the actuator down to prevent internal damage. When the thrust reverser is selected to stow the D.C.V.
directs pressure to the piston rod end of the actuator, just before the stow
position is reached the tine lock mechanically moves the lock release sleeve
against its spring allowing the tine lock to latch into its locked position. The
spring now moves the release sleeve back to prevent the tine locks moving
from their locked position.
A manual release is provided for manually opening the doors during maintenance.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
THRUST REVERSER DEACTIVATION/ACTIVATION
This task explains the procedure for deactivating and activating the thrust reverser by inhibiting the isolation valve by the use of the manual inhibit lever.
Refer back to the description and operation of this chapter to remind you of the
system.
The procedure is quite straight forward and is as follows:
S Open right hand fan cowl door.
S Get access to the isolation control valve unit.
S Remove the quick release pin.
S Move lever to inhibited position.
NOTE:
By referring back to the diagram of the isolation valve in the description and
operation section of this chapter it can be seen that the isolation valve is now
mechanically held in the deactivation position and that an indication of the position of the lever is sent to both channels of the E.E.C.
Activation is carried out as follows:
S Open right hand fan cowl door.
S Get access to the isolation control valve unit.
S Remove quick release pin.
S Move lever to normal position.
S Put quick release pin back into the isolation control unit to keep the
inhibit lever in the normal (activated) position.

IGNITION SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The ignition distribution system is in two parts, each part has an ignition unit,
an ignition lead and an igniter plug.
The ignition units are mounted on bracket assemblies on the lower left hand
side of the L.P. compressor case. The leads span the bypass casing inside
the lower bifurcation to the igniter plugs. The igniter plugs are adjacent
numbers l0 and 16 fuel spray nozzles.
IGNITION UNITS
Each unit has a case assembly and an ignition exciter. An input of 115
volts 400 Hz A.C. power is supplied by the aircraft electrical system. This
supply is transmitted to a relay in the Power Control Unit (P.C.U.) which is
controlled by the E.E.C.
The exciter is a capacitive discharge circuit. The exciter changes the input voltage to an output voltage of 2.7 to 2.9 K volts. Energy is stored in the
ignition unit at 8 to 11.3 joules. This energy is released by the exciter at the rate
of 60 to 135 sparks per minute.

IGNITER PLUGS
The igniter plug is a surface discharge type. It has a body and a ground
electrode, it also has a centre wire with a centre electrode at the tip. The centre
wire is sealed with glass and has insulation along its length.
The space between the centre electrode and the ground electrode is filled
with a semiconductive material. The igniter plug has a contact button which
touches the contact button in the ignition lead.
OPERATION
When the ignition system is energised an electrical current flows through the
centre wire and the centre electrode of the igniter plug. The current flows
through the semi conductor to the ground electrode. This current produces
a magnetic field which ionises gas near the igniter tip. This gives a low resistance path for the energy from the ignition unit and a pulse of energy occurs.
The energy pulse gives a high energy spark from the
centre electrode to the outer electrode. The electrical current flows through the
igniter plug body and to the outer conductor of the ignition lead and on to
the ignition unit case.

IGNITER PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Before installation of the igniter plug use the protrusion gauge HU38434 as
follows:
Move the locking collar, locating plate and body up against the indicator and
install the protrusion gauge in the applicable igniter plug hole. Make sure
indicator notch points to rear of engine.
Carefully move the indicator until probe foot touches igniter sleeve. Use the
probe foot to feel if the igniter sleeve is in the correct position and has not become loose.
If the igniter sleeve is not in the correct position or has become loose reject the engine.
CAUTION:
Remove protrusion gauge carefully to prevent damage to combustion chamber
coating.
Installation of the igniter plug is straight forward but remember the following points:
S Apply dry film lubricant to the threads of the igniter plug (OMat 4/20).
S If the same igniter plug is being fitted in the same position, fit the same
adjusting washers.
S Use correct socket wrench UT1152 and torque load to between 200
and 300 lbf/in (2,26 to 3,39 MdaN).
S Clean ignition lead contact button with OMat 5/43 emery paper, remove dust
with a clean lint free cloth.
S Connect the ignition lead and torque load to between 140 and 150 lbf/in
(1,58 and 1,69 MdaN). Safety the ignition lead with OMat 238 lockwire.
S If a different igniter plug is being installed then a depth of immersion
check is required as follows:

The starter air duct flanges are connected together by v band coupling
clamps. Air leakage is prevented by the E type seals that are located between the mating flanges. There are two flexible joints which let the engine
move, in relation to the aircraft pylon, without damage to the ducts. These
flexible joints also help align the pylon duct with the aircraft duct.

AIR STARTER MOTOR
The air starter motors primary components consist of:
S A turbine rotor
S A reduction gear configuration
S A clutch mechanism
S An output drive shaft
These components are contained in a case which includes a containment ring,
an air intake and an exhaust. The containment ring is made to contain a failure of the turbine rotor. The air starter motor also has an oil filler plug, an oil
level sight glass and drain plug. The drain plug has a magnetic chip detector
(M.C.D.).
Air entering the air inlet will turn the turbine rotor at high speed with low
torque, the reduction gears reduce the speed to the output drive shaft.
This reduction in speed produces high torque to the output drive shaft. The
torque is transmitted through the ratchet gear on the ring gear carrier to the
clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism has pawls which engage with the
ratchet gear to turn
the output shaft. When the engine has reached self sustaining R.P.M. the
output drive shaft is turning faster than the ring gear carrier and centrifugal
force disengages the clutch pawls from the ratchet gear.

The start control valve controls the flow of air to the air starter motor. The
solenoid contains a double coil assembly which is controlled by electrical signals from the E.E.C. One coil is connected to lane A of the E.E.C., the other to
lane B.
The valve also contains a butterfly valve operated through linkage by two air
operated pistons. An extension of the butterfly shaft has a visual control
valve position indicator. The control valve position indicator operates two
micro switches one is connected to lane A the other to lane B to give indication to the E.E.C. of the valve position. Also the extension is a square socket
to permit manual operation of the butterfly valve.

is released through vent C.
The air pressure acting on piston A and actuator spring force acting on piston
B keeps the butterfly valve closed. The actuating spring will also close
the butterfly valve if there is a decrease in air pressure upstream of the butterfly valve during starting.
