- Improve surge margin at low compressor speed

Description:

- Hollow inlet case struts with holes (piccolo holes)


- Bleed air case

Operation:

When the bleed valve is opened, P2.8 air flows to the inlet
case hollow struts.
The piccolo holes located on the inlet case struts produce
P2.8 air jets that cause swirling of the incoming air before it
enters the compressor.

The swirl, turning in the direction of rotation of the


compressor, makes it easier to draw air in, thus increase
compressor performance at low speeds.

A P2.8 access port (one o'clock position) is used to check


the bleed valve closing point.

leaving the combustion chamber are directed towards the
compressor turbine blades by the compressor turbine
stator.

Thereafter, gases move across the power turbine stator and


hit the power turbine blades. Turbine rotation is transmitted

Operation :
OUTER LINER
P3 air enters the combustion chamber through holes in the
inner and outer liners. The shape, size and location, of
these holes provide the correct fuel/air ratio for all operating
conditions.
INNER LINER
The combustion chamber makes an envelope that turns the
gas 180°. This configuration allows installation of the
compressor and power turbine closer to the compressor
and within the combustion chamber area, thus making the
engine shorter and lighter.

Cooling rings direct P3 air inside the combustion chamber,


close to the walls, to form a flame barrier. In addition the IGNITER PORT

COMPRESSOR TURBINE VANE RING (STATOR)
Function :

- Directs and increase speed of gases to the compres-


sor turbine at the optimum angle and speed.
- Convergent vanes change static pressure into velocity.

Description :

Nickel alloy casting with air-cooled core passages. The exit


area of the vanes is identified by a class number.

Operation :

The compressor turbine vane ring receives hot gases from


the combustion chamber. The converging vane airfoil
arrangement directs the air towards the exit, accelerating
and changing its direction simultaneously.

The vane ring is attached to the No. 2 bearing housing.


Lugs on the vane ring are used to maintain the shroud
segments in place.
Vane ring class is the sum of the area, in square inches, of
all the openings between the vanes trailing edges. Different
classes are installed during engine test to bring N1/NG and
ITT within specified limits to achieve the engine
performance.

A smaller vane ring class (smaller area) accelerates the


speed of the air and therefore increases the speed of the
compressor turbine and compressor (N1/NG). Thus higher
N1/NG speed provides more air to the engine, more cooling
and a lower ITT.

return the oil to the oil tank.
No field maintenance.
No. 2 Bearing Cavity :
The No. 2 bearing cavity is scavenged using a combination
of scavenge pump and blowdown system. At low engine
speeds, the scavenge pump is sufficient to ensure proper
return of the oil from the cavity.

At higher speeds, the air introduced in the cavity at the


labyrinth seals creates a pressure in the line but the pump
can no longer evacuate the oil/air mixture. A bypass valve is
fitted on the scavenge pump inlet to reduce the flow
restriction created by the pump elements when the system
is in a "blowdown" mode.

The pump returns the oil to the AGB cavity. When the
pressure in the scavenge line overcomes the weight of the
relief valve, the ball lifts off its seat and allows air and oil in
excess, to drain directly into the accessory gearbox. The
relief valve prevents flooding of the No. 2 bearing cavity at
high engine power.

COMPRESSOR ROTOR (N1/NG) SPEED SENSOR
Description And Operation :

The speed sensor is located on the top left side of the AGB.

The compressor rotor speed (N1/NG) sensor is a triple coil


magnetic sensor which uses the starter generator gear
teeth in the accessory gearbox as its speed reference.

The sensor detects the passage of the gear teeth due to the
change in the magnetic flux density associated with the
proximity of the gear tooth in relation to the tip.

The sensor transmits an AC electrical signal with a


frequency proportional to compressor rotor RPM. Each of P7
the three coils is electrically independent and protected
against a short circuit in one of the other coils.
- Coil A provides speed signal to the EEC.
- Coil B provides speed signal to the cockpit.
- Coil C provides speed signal to the cockpit.

Maintenance :

The coils connected to the EEC are monitored all the time
when the EEC is operating and a fault code will be
displayed in case of defect. The EEC will write the fault in DETAIL A

- 8 probes Chromel / Alumel thermocouple Harness. HARNESS
- T5 Connection T5 PROBE CLIPS
- T1 probe as cold junction
- Electrical wiring harness.
- EEC.
- Data Collection Unit (DCU)

Operation :

T5 is the average temperature of 8 specific locations


(thermocouple tips) within the gas path and therefore does
not represents the exact average temperature at station 5.

The actual temperature is calculated at engine test and is


used to determine engine acceptance. To obtain an
average reading (T5), the thermocouples are connected in TERMINAL
parallel.

As temperature increases, an increasing voltage (T5 signal)


is generated at the Chromel / Alumel junction of each
thermocouple. The average T5 signal is sent to the EEC
where it is processed, (calculated, trimmed, and formatted
in computer word). The signal is used by the EEC and EXHAUST

Provides a means to adjust the indication in order to get a
true and accurate representation of the engine temperature ITT TRIM 70 ºC

(Corrected for sampling error).


COCKPIT
Calibration : INDICATION DCU
The ITT temperature is trimmed down to a temperature TRIM
calculated to represent the engine temperature at take-off EEC
power. The trim value is programmed directly into the DCU
memory.

The amount of trimming is provided to the EEC in term of a


value in °C by the DCU during the initial EEC starting phase
only (Boot). The trim value (in °C) is indicated on the power TERMINAL T1 PROBE COLD
section data plate and in the engine logbook. JUNCTION
Note :
- Always clean connections carefully to ensure the sys-
tem's resistance is not disturbed.
- If several probes are broken or damaged, the loop
resistance would not necessarily fall outside the AL (-)
allowable tolerance. However, erroneous temperature CR (+)
indications could occur due to reduce sampling.

PT6C-67C/D TRAINING USE ONLY ENGINE INDICATING SYSTEM 6.18


INLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR (T1)
Operation :

The T1 sensor incorporates cold junctions for the ITT


thermocouples and a platinum Resistance Temperature
Device (RTD) element (used for control limiter logic).

The active portion of the sensor is located near the inlet to


the compressor inlet scroll, thereby giving a signal
proportional to engine air inlet temperature (T1).

The T1 sensor also includes an electrical connector through


which all temperature signals are transmitted to the
Electronic Engine Control unit (EEC).

The incorporation of cold junctions in the T1 sensor for the


ITT thermocouple removes the necessity to use
thermocouple material in the main engine electrical
harness and thereby reducing the possibility of errors due
to secondary junctions.

HETCM is a process of periodically recording engine and
aircraft instrument parameters and comparing them to a
computer reference model.

Under specific ambient conditions, engine parameters such


as; a Compressor Rotor speed (N1/NG), Turbine Gas
Temperature (ITT) are predictable. The difference between
the actual engine parameters and the computer model
values will be plotted as 2 margins using a graphical chart
method.

Once a trend is established by plotting these margins, any


deviation would indicate some engine deterioration.

During manual operation, for training or in emergency, the
pilot will have to adjust the engine power up or down by
moving the power lever (PLA) acting on the Power levers.

The pilot has full authority to increase or decrease the


power. The amount of travel required for a certain amount
of power will be proportional and linear in the complete
range of PLA.

If the pilot react to quickly, the engine acceleration or

FUEL HEATER
Function : Note:
- Do not cross Fuel line during installation
Preheat the fuel to prevent fuel filter restriction caused by
ice crystal formation in the filter. Allowing engine operation
at lower outside temperature without the need of fuel
additives.

Description :

The fuel heater is installed on the Right-hand side of the


accessory gearbox. Fuel tubes connect it to the Fuel
Management Module (FMM).

The fuel heater has a thermal valve, which modulates the


fuel flow through the core. The wax type thermal actuator,
located upstream of the fuel outlet port, moves the valve.

When the fuel temperature is below, 33°F (0.5°C) the


thermal valve is fully closed, which means that all the fuel
flow is directed to the fuel heater core.

When the fuel temperature increases, the thermal actuator


moves the valve in response to the increased temperature.
When the fuel temperature reaches 110°F (43°C) the valve
is fully opened and fuel bypasses the heater core. In this
condition the fuel temperature should not exceed 135°F
(57°C).

Maintenance

- No scheduled maintenance.

PERMANENT MAGNET ALTERNATOR (PMA)
Function:

The Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) provides the


primary power source for the electronic engine control unit
when the engine is running (above 40 % N1/NG).

Description:

The PMA is an integral part of the reduction gearbox having


its rotor mounted directly onto the accessory drive gear
shaft and the stator mounted into the reduction gearbox
casing. However, the rotor and stator are removable without
disturbance to the reduction gearbox.

The bearingless configuration of the PMA ensures high unit


reliability. The PMA interfaces with the engine electrical
wiring harness.

The PMA produce about 64 VAC, 3 phases. The EEC


convert (rectify and stabilize) the voltage to a value just
higher to the aircraft electrical voltage in order to ensure
that the System automatically uses the higher source of
power.
