ACCESS DOOR
Access to the APU is through an access door, completely enclosing the APU
compartment.
The access door is hinged on the right side and latched on the left side. It consists of skin, ribs and stringers forming the outside contour of the fuselage. On
the inside are two door open holding rods, two drain cups and cooling air exhaust. On the outside, is a drain mast connected to the drain cups.
The door can be opened for normal APU servicing, or it can be removed by
unlatching the hinges on the right side. The drain cups should be inspected
periodically for cleanliness.
The exhaust ducting is cooled by four air inlets around the aft end of the exhaust fairing.
SHROUD
The APU shroud is a titanium compartment that fully protects the APU power
plant. The APU shroud gives the protection from an APU fire and decrease the
noise from the APU power plant. The APU shroud includes the upper shroud
and the lower shroud. The upper shroud attaches to the airplane structure and
holds the forward end of the APU exhaust duct. The upper shroud and the
lower shroud connect to one another with the shroud latches on the lower
shroud.
Upper Shroud
The upper shroud is installed in the APU compartment. When the APU is removed from the airplane, the upper shroud will stay in the APU compartment.
The upper shroud has openings for the fuel lines, air inlet ducts and bleed
air duct. Three mounting brackets for the APU engine attach to the shroud
rings.
Lower Shroud
The lower shroud attaches to the upper shroud with ten shroud latches. The
lower shroud has the openings to the filler port for the oil tank and to the overboard exhaust for the APU cooling air. Also, there is an access panel that is
removed to read the elapsed time indicator. When the lower shroud is removed, you can get access to do maintenance on the APU.

APU DRAINS
The APU drains provide means for draining unburned fuel from the engine and
for draining fuel or oil from the shroud in event of leakage inside the shroud.
At the aft end of the shroud, a drain cup with stand-pipe picks up unburned
fuel discharged through the turbine exhaust port. Two fuel drain lines are
manifolded into a fitting on the engine. This fitting mates with a drain cup in the
drain line. The drain line terminates at a fitting at the forward end of the shroud.
Adjacent to the drain line terminal end fitting is another fitting. Through this fitting fuel or oil is drained from the shroud. Both fittings at the forward end of the
shroud mate with drain cups in the APU compartment access door. The drain
cups in the access door are connected to a drain mast.
Drain Valve
The drain valve is a spring- loaded ball device. The drain valve permits fuel that
collects in the combustor to flow to the APU drain mast.
The drain valve is located at the lowest point in the combustor plenum. This
permits complete drainage prior to another attempted start.
The drain valve is spring-Ioaded open until the APU reaches approximately 15
percent RPM. At 15 % RPM APU combustor pressure closes the drain valve.

APU AIR INLET
B737-300/400/500

AIR INLET DESCRIPTION

The air supply for the APU engine operation and accessories cooling is through
a door installed in the air inlet duct. The air inlet consists of a door with a vortex
generator and flap, actuator, door position switch and ducting.
Access to the actuator and door position switch is through an access door on
the left side of the fuselage, forward of the APU compartment.
Operation
When the actuator is powered, the pushrods move the door to the open position. Movement of the door deflects the flap on the vortex generator for improvement of air flow into the inlet. When the door is fully open, the door switch
operates. The switch actuation is part of the APU start cycle.

APU LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The APS 2000 is lubricated by a self-contained, wet sump system that is integral with the gearbox. The oil system provides a pressurized supply of oil that
lubricates and cools all the gears and bearings in the gearbox and engine rotor
assembly.
Operation
Before the APU is started, the de-prime valve is energized to the open position. This stops the supply of oil to the oil pump. When the APU accelerates to
55% service speed, the de-prime valve is de-energized to the closed position.
The oil pump pulls the oil from the oil tank and sends the oil to the oil filter element. If the oil filter element is clogged, the bypass valve opens to permit the
oil fiow to continue. From the oil filter element, the oil goes through the oil
cooler. If the oil cooler is clogged, the bypass valve for the oil cooler opens.
From the oil cooler, the oil goes to the gearbox assembly and the gears and
bearings of the APU engine. In the gears and bearings of the APU engine, an
airloil mixture is made. The air/oil mixture is divided when the gearshaft turns.
The air is sent to the turbine exhaust port through a gearbox case vent. The oil
returns to the oil tank by gravity.
The Iube service panel replenishes the oil tank with the oil. The ADD Iight (amber Iight) on the Iube service panei comes on when the oil quantity in the oil
tank is 1 .6 U,S quarts (l .5 Iiters). When the ADD Iight is on, a solenoid valve
opens to Iet the oil enter the oil tank from the pressure fiII connection. The
FULL Iight (green Iight) comes on when the oil quantity in the oil tank is 2.6 U.S
quarts (2.5 Iiters). The solenoid valve wiII close when the FULL Iight is on. The
solenoid valve closes so the oil tank wiII receive the correct amount of oil.
Gearbox oil distribution
Oil is drawn from the gearbox sump by the oil pump mounted on the front of
the gearbox. The oil is filtered prior to leaving the pump and then fiows through
the oil cooler. The cooled oil is returned to the gearbox oil passages and jets to
provide Iubrication and cooling of the gears, shafts and bearings.
During operation of the gear system, an oil/air mist is created inside the gearbox. The oil and air are separated by the action of a mechanical separator that
is part of the generator gear shaft. Oil is returned by gravity to the gearbox oil
sump and the air is vented to the APU exhaust through the gearbox vent system.

OIL TANK DESCRIPTION

Oil Tank
The oil tank is part of the gearbox assembly. The oil tank hold the supply of oil
for the APU Iubrication system. The oil is removed from the oil tank by the oil
pump. The oil goes through the oil filter element and oil cooler to the gearbox
assembly and the APU engine. The oil flows back from the APU engine to the
oil tank by gravity. The air in the oil goes out the turbine exhaust port.The oil
tank has a filler port with a filIer cap and dipstick. The oil can be added to the
oil tank through the filIer port. Also, the oil tank has a sight glass to do a check
on the oil level.
Magnetic Drain Plug
The magnetic drain plug is installed at the bottom of the oil tank. The magnetic
drain plug has a magnetic element and a plug. When the oil tank is serviced,
the magnetic element is removed to make sure no metal particles are in the oil.
If the oil has metal particles, an investigation of damage to the APU engine is
necessary. The magnetic element can be removed without the plug. When the
plug and the magnetic element are removed together, the oil will drain from the
oil tank.
Oil Level Sensor

The oil level sensor transmits a signal through the FADEC to show the APU oil
quantity. The FADEC sends the signal to the MAINT Iight on the forward overhead panel and to the lube service panel. The oil level sensor has a tube, float
and microswitch. The microswitch has two circuits that are operated by the
fioat. The oil level sensor is installed on the bottom of the APU oil tank.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Oil Cooler
The oiI cooler is installed on the APU below the APU electrical generator. The
oiI cooler is a rectangular unit made of aiuminum tubes. The oiI cooler receives
the oil from the oiI pump. In the oil cooler the oil moves through the tubes
where it is cooled by air from the cooling tan assembly. The oil tIows from the
oil cooler to the gearbox assembly and the gears and bearings ot the APU engine. The oil cooler has a bypass valve that opens if the oil cooler is clogged.
The bypass valve opens when the differentia! pressure across the oii cooler is
25 to 35 psig . The bypass valve is tu!Iy open when the differential pressure is
45 psig .
Oil Pressure Relief Valve

The pressure relief valve is installed in the lower part of the gearbox housing.
The pressure relief valve keeps the oil pump pressure below 40 to 45 psig. If
the pressure relief valve opens, the oil wilI flow back to the oil tank.
Oil Pump and Filter Assembly

The oil pump and filter assembly is installed on the gearbox assembly. The oil
pump and filter assembly has the oil pump, oil filter element, filter bypass valve,
differential pressure indicator, oil temperature switch and de-prime valve. A
shaft that connects to the gearbox assembly drives the oil pump and filter assembly.
The oil pump gets the oil from the oil tank. The oil pump moves the oil under
pressure through the oil cooler to the gears and bearings of the APU. The oil
filter assembly has an oil filter element. The oil filter element keeps alI unwanted material in the oil out of the oil pump. The oil filter element is a 2O micron fiIter that can not be cleaned. The oil filter element must be replaced. The
oil filter element is installed on the oil pump and filter assembly.
The filter bypass valve opens at 40-45 psig when the oil filter element is
clogged this permits unfiltered oil to enter the oil pump. A filter clogging indicator (red ) extends when the differential pressure across the oil filter element is
30 to 35 psig .
High Oil Temperature Switch

The oil temperature switch is found on the front of the oil pump and filter assembly. The oil temperature switch automatically stops the APU when the APU
oil temperature is greater than 135 +/- 5_C The signal from the oil temperature
switch is monitored by the FADEC and the airplane electronics in the control
cabin.
OiI Pressure Switch

The oil pressure switch is installed on the gearbox assembly or on the oil cooler
The oil pressure switch stops the APU when the APU oil pressure decreases to
20+/-2 psig . The signal from the oil pressure switch is monitored by the FADEC and the airplane electronics in the control cabin.
De-Prime Valve
The de-prime valve is energized open when the APU is started . When the
APU accelerates to 55% service speed, the de-prime valve is de-energized to
the closed position. This will permit the oil pump to produce oil pressure. When
the APU is stopped the de-prime valve is energized to the open position to
stop the supply of oil to the oil pump. The oil that stays in the APU wiIl drain to
the oil tank. After 5 minutes APU stop the de-prime valve is de-energized to
the close position.The de-prime valve is installed on the oil pump and filter assembly. The de-prime valve operates with a solenoid.

OIL TANK SERVICING

Servicing of the oil sump is accomplished by opening the APU access door.
The oil level is checked by removing the filIer cap and using the dipstick. If the
oil level is below the FULL mark, add oil until the Ievel is at the FULL mark on
the dipstick. To assist in observing the servicing during the addition of oil, a Iine
of sight access door is used. The Ievel of oil can be observed through this access during servicing. A hole drilled through the fiIler tube prevents overfilIing
of the sump by allowing excess oil to drain out of the fill tube and into the APU
lower shroud.
REMOTE OIL SERVICING
The external service panel provides a means of replenishing the oil supply for
the APU oil tank.
Power
Power for the system is 28 volts dc from the battery bus,switched hot bat bus
or APU G.C.U.
The oil tank is replenished by connecting the oil supply to the pressure fill connection and pumping oil into the tank until the green light ilIuminates. Required
oil supply pressure is 35 psi.

ENGINE FUEL AND CONTROL
49-30
APU FUEL SYSTEM
Purpose
The APU fuel system receives fuel from the airplane wing tanks through a
shrouded line. The system then pressurizes, filters, and meters fuel for combustion. The primary components are the fuel control and pump assembly. low
and high pressure filters, a start fuel purge solenoid valve, start and main fuel
manifolds, and nozzles. The APU is a constant speed engine. Speed control is
accomplished automatically by the FADEC through torquemotor inputs to the
fuel control and pump assembly, resulting in fuel flow regulation.
Fuel Control and Pump Assembly
This assembly accomplishes all pressurizing, filtering, and metering for the
APU. Electrical connections include the servo valve, the start fuel solenoid
valve, and the main fuel solenoid valve.
SYSTEM OPERATION
B737-300/400/500
Starting
Placing the APU switch to START and ON, opens the APU fuel shutoff valve
and the inlet door begins to open. When the inlet door is full open,the FADEC
activates the starter and energizes the start fuel solenoid valve to open. The
start fuel solenoid valve is located on the fuel control and pump assembly.
The APU fuel control and pump assembly then receives fuel from the airplane
tanks through the APU fuel line. A low pressure centrifugal pump pressurizes
the fuel and delivers it to the high pressure gear pump through the external low
pressure fuel fitter. Unmetered fuel flows through the start fuel solenoid valve,
through the start manifold and through the 4 start nozzles into the combustor.
The FADEC energizes the ignition exciter one second after the starter is energized. The FADEC energizes the main fuel solenoid valve to open when the
APU reaches 5% RPM with an increase of 28_ C EGT. This permits metered
fuel to flow through the in-line filter, through the check valve to the 14 main fuel
nozzles. When the APU reaches 55% RPM, the FADEC deenergizes the starter and ignition exciter. At 70% RPM the FADEC de-energizes the start fuel
solenoid valve to the close position and energizes the start purge solenoid
valve to the open position for 60 seconds. This removes fuel from the start fuel
manifold and nozzles.
The FADEC monitors APU the EGT during starting. The FADEC sends electrical control signals to the servo valve to meter the fuel flow.
FRA US/E gz
10.06.99
Running (APU RPM Above 98 Percent)

The FADEC receives APU RPM, EGT, inlet temperature and inlet pressure signals from APU sensors. The FADEC sends electrical control signals to the
servo valve to meter fuel flow to the main fuel nozzles. This keeps the APU at
a constant speed with the APU supplying electrical and/or pneumatic loads or
with the APU unloaded.
Shutdown
Placing the APU switch to off position :
The fuel shutoff valve closed.
The air inlet door closed.
The main fuel solenoid valve de-energized to the close position.
The fuel servo valve deenergized.
The start purge valve energized to the open position for 30 seconds.
Remaining fuel in the APU combustor drains through a drain valve into the lower shroud drain Iine.
The de-prime valve energized to the open position.
The anti-surge bleed valve energized to the closed position.

FUEL HEATER
The fuel heater is used to prevent ice from blocking the fuel filter.
The heater is a tubular fuel / air heat exchanger. The control valve has a bimetallic element for sensing the fuel temperature and allowing bleed air to pass
through the heater.
The fuel heater and control valve with a temperature sensor are attached to the
inside surface of the upper shroud.
FIow Control Valve
When the fuel temperature passing through the valve decreases to
3_C (37 _F), the valve modulates to full open. This allows hot air from the APU
bleed duct to pass through the heater and dumps into the shroud. When fuel
temperature increases to 18 _C (64_F), the valve closes.
FueI Heater Check Valve
A check valve is installed in the fuel Iine upstream of the heater to retain fuel in
the pump. This ensures a positive prime for starting.
FIow Control Check Valve

A check valve is instalIed in the air line to prevent fuel entering the bleed air
duct.

Differential Pressure Valve
The differetial pressure valve holds a constant differential pressure of 200 PSID
across the fuel servo valve. This differential pressure creates a linear relationship between fuel flow and torquemotor current.
Fuel Servo Valve
The servo valve controls the fuel flow output from the fuel control and pump
assembly. The servo valve is a torquemotor operated flapper type valve. The
valves position is electrically controlled by the FADEC and has a regulating
range from 7 to 250 kg/h. The servo valve current is a function of APU speed,
inlet temperature and pressure; and is EGT limited.
High Pressure Relief Valve

The high pressure relief valve protects the fuel system against overpressurization. It has a crack point pressure of 640 psid.
Start Fuel Solenoid Valve
The start fuel solenoid gets a signal from the FADEC to permits unmetered fuel
flow through the start fuel nozzles.

START PURGE VALVE

The start fuel purge solenoid va!ve allows APU compressor discharge air to
remove remaining fuel in the start fuel manifold and nozzles. This prevents coking of the start fuel nozzles.
The start fuel purge solenoid valve is a normally closed shutoff valve. The FADEC energizes the solenoid for 60 seconds to open when the APU reaches
70% RPM. This permits compressor discharge air to purge the start manifold
and nozzles of remaining fuel.
When the APU Master switch is placed to OFF; the start fuel purge solenoid
valve is energized to the open position for 30 seconds and then deenergized to
the closed position,
The start fuel purge solenoid valve is Iocated on the left side of the APU just aft
of the ignition exciter. it is located in the high pressure start fuel Iine between
the fuel control and pump assembly and the start fuel nozzles.
Start Fuel Manifold

FUEL SYSTEM OPERATION

Starting
The APU start sequence is controlled by the FADEC.
S After the start relay is energized (Software version 15) or
S After 3% RPM (Software version 16), the fuel solenoid energizes and
opens. (At 2% RPM ignition is activated)
Unregulated fuel from the high pressure fuel pump is supplied to the start fuel
manifold. It enters the combustion chamber via 4 start nozzles. After 1 second
ignition is activated (Software version 15).
S At a speed of 5% RPM and a minor of 28_ C EGT rise, the main fuel solenoid valve opens. The fuel servo valve starts controlling the fuel flow. The
magnitude of the regulating fuel flow depends upon RPM, EGT, T-amb and
P-amb. Control is provided by the temperature control circuit within the
FADEC. At this point the fuel flow is approximately 25 kg/h and will continuosly increase. Regulated high-pressure fuel goes into the main fuel manifold, from where it leaves through 14 main fuel nozzles for combustion.
S At 55% RPM ignition is deenergized.
S At 70% RPM the start fuel solenoid valve closes and the start purge valve
energized open for 60 sec. CDP air enters the 4 start fuel nozzles in order
to blow out the remaining fuel from the start fuel manifold.
S At 80% RPM the temperature control circuit is turned off and the speed control circuit will now control the fuel flow.
Shutdown
When the APU Master Control Switch is put to OFF following fuel valves will
close:
S Main Fuel Solenoid Valve
S Fuel Servo Valve and
S APU Fuel Shutoff Valve
S Start Purge Valve opens for 30 sec. and closes again.
Running Speed > 98%

2 sec after 98% RPM load can be applied. The fuel servo valve, controlled by
the FADEC, coverns the fuel flow to keep the APU-speed at 100% at all normal
loads.
The max. load factor is limited by the EGT-set point. The EGT-set point is variable and is computed by the FADEC. The set point depends upon T-amb and
P-amb (see EGT-Chart).
The max. EGT is slightly higher than the EGT-set point. An exceedance of
max. EGT will cause an APU Auto Shut Down.

APU BLEED BLEED AIR VALVE

The bleed air valve is used to control the bleed air flow from the APU to the
airplane pneumatic system.
The valve consists of a butterfly valve, actuator, rate control valve, switcher
valve and solenoid. The valve is solenoid controlled, pneumaticalIy operated,
shutoff and modulating type.
The valve is controlled by the APU bleed valve switch on the P5 panel and the
bleed servo valve. The FADEC controls the bleed servo valve. Valve operating
pressure is supplied from pneumatic duct through a differential air pressure
regulator.
Differential Air Pressure Regulator
The differential air pressure regulator provides constant pressure air supply for
operation of the bleed valve.
The regulator consists of an air inlet, filter, spring- loaded diaphragm assembly,
metering and relief valves. The regulating pressure is set at 19 psig.
The APU compressor discharge pressure is supplied to the regulator. The metering valve restricts the output to 19 psig independent of ambient conditions.
Bleed Servo Valve

The bleed servo valve changes the control air pressure to the bleed valve. This
permits the bleed valve to modulate. The FADEC controls the bleed servo
valve.
The bleed servo valve is Iocated above and inboard of the oil filler neck on the
APU.
The bleed servo valve is a pneumatic valve that is electrically controlled.
Operation
When the APU is operating above 98% RPM and the APU bleed air switch is
ON, the bleed servo valve changes control pressure to the APU bleed valve.
The FADEC controls the bleed servo valve as a function of APU EGT. When
APU EGT Iimits are approached, the FADEC signals the bleed servo valve to
vent control pressure. This modulates the APU bleed valve closed.

BLEED AIR VALVE OPERATION

When the solenoid is energized, air upstream of the butterfly valve passes
through the filter and regulator assembly and switcher valve to chamber C of
the valve. Chamber D is vented through the switcher valve. As the butterfly
valve opens, upstream pressure decreases, chamber B pressure decreases
faster than chamber A pressure by virtue of the restrictor. The differential pressure acts on the diaphragm and opens the rate control valve. This partially
vents chamber C, thus decreasing the opening rate of the valve.
If high EGT occurs, the bleed servo valve vents chamber C and the valve modulates towards the closed position.
When the solenoid is de-energized, control pressure is supplied to chamber D,
chamber C is vented and the butterfly closes.
Two switches are operated by the bleed valve.
S One is for the amber DUAL BLEED light on the P5 panel ( ATA Chapter 36)
S and the other goes to the FADEC. The FADEC (Sunstrand) does not use
this signal.

The Cooling Air System consists:
S Cooling Air Duct
S Cooling Air Pneumatic Actuator
S Cooling Air Shutoff Valve
S Cooling Air Fan
Cooling Air Inlet Duct
The cooling air duct supplies the stable air to the cooling fan when the airplane
is on the ground. When the airplane is in flight, the cooling air duct supplies the
ram air to the cooling fan. The cooling air duct is Iocated between the torque
box and the inlet flange of the cooling fan.
A cooling fan inlet screen attaches to the cooling fan inlet. An inspection tube
and a cap assembly are attached to the cooling air duct for the inspection of
the fan inlet screen. The inspection tube goes through a Iightening hole in the
horizontal web above the upper shroud.
Pneumatlc Actuator
The pneumatic actuator controls the shutoff valve. The pneumatic actuator has
a cylinder, piston and rod assembly, spring and cap. The pneumatic actuator is
installed on the fIange of the cooling air duct. The pneumatic actuator rod extends when the pneumatic pressure from the bleed air duct is greater than the
spring force. A filter in the pneumatic Iine seals the pneumatic actuator from
contaminants. The filter can be one that is used again or one that is discarded.
Cooling Air Shutoff Valve
The shutoff valve stops the airflow through the cooling air duct when the APU
is stopped. AIso, the shutoff valve wiII keep aII flames inside the APU shroud if
an APU fire occurs. The shutoff valve has a butterfiy mounted on a shaft. The
butterfiy is installed in the cooling air duct. The pneumatic actuator controls the
shutoff valve.

COOLING FAN
The cooling fan supplies a positive, cool airflow through the oil cooler and the
APU electrical generator. The cooling fan is a gear-driven, mixed flow fan. The
cooling fan has a shaft impeller that is installed in a shroud. A housing holds
the baiI bearing for the impeller shaft. The housing also moves the air to and
from the shaft impeller. The cooling fan inlet duct and the exhaust scroll for the
cooling fan move the air into and out of the cooling fan assembly. The fan inlet
screen stops aII unwanted materials before they go into the components of the
cooling fan that turn.
Cooling Fan Duct
The airflow from the cooling fan moves through the cooling fan duct to the oil
cooler and APU electrical generator.
Operation
When the APU operates, the cooling fan supplies the cooling air. The gearbox
accessory drive turns the cooling fan. The cooling fan supplies stable air while
the airplane is on the ground. When the airplane is in flight, the cooling fan supplies ram air. The pneumatic actuator receives the pneumatic pressure from
the bleed air duct to hold the shutoff valve open. The cooling air from the cooling fan is supplied to the APU electrical generator and the oil cooler. To get to
the APU shroud, the cooling air moves through the cooling fan duct. In the APU
shroud, the cooling air keeps the APU temperature Iow. From the APU shroud,
the cooling air goes out through the APU exhaust system. When the APU is
stopped, the pneumatic actuator close the shutoff valve. When the shutoff
valve closes, it wiII keep aII f!ames from an APU fire in the APU shroud.

During APU start, the starter is energized and the APU rotates. The ignition
exciter is energized by the action of the FADEC.
The starter and ignition circuits are de-energized by the action of the FADEC
during APU engine acceleration. During normal engine operation, the exciter
remains de-energized.

FADEC DESCRIPTION
The FADEC will conduct a self-test and initialization procedure. Following a
successful self-test, the FADEC wilI enter into a watch state in which it monitors APU startup and continuous operation. If a component fails, depending on
the severity of the situation, the FADEC will either shutdown the APU with a
FAULT light displayed on the overhead P5 or illuminate a MAlNT light also on
the P5, but continue to operate.
LED Display
Faults and warnings are displayed on the alpha numeric display on the front of
the FADEC. Faults/warnings are displayed in the order of occurrence with critical faults taking precedence over warnings. This data is just for the present
APU cycle. Historical data can be accessed via the Fault Data switch. The fault
indication will be cleared once the fault condition has been corrected and a new
APU cycle is initiated. It is not until the FADEC senses the fault again, that it
will display it on the LED.
For the situation in which a fault occurs, and power is removed from the airplane (Bat switch is placed to the OFF position), the FADEC will retain the
fault(s).
B737-300/400/500
FADEC BITE Test Procedure

S Set the APU Master switch to the OFF position.
S Set the BAT switch to the ON position.
S Push the FAULT DISPLAY switch on the FADEC.
The fault display on the FADEC will show firstly the APU Identification Number
( ENID ). Then the fault display will show the FADEC BITE code (s) of the
given faults of the last APU auto shutdown or maintenance data ( first history
record ) or OK if there were no FADEC BITE code (s) found by the FADEC.
Following comes 11 history records (second history records ), a FADEC BITE
code or maintenance data or OK will show for five seconds. After one compled
cycle the FADEC BITE code ( first hystory record ) from the last APU auto
shutdown or maintenance data or OK will show again for 10-15 seconds. After
10-15 seconds the fault display go out of view.
Power Up Self Test.
When you move the APU Master switch from OFF to ON, the FAULT DISPLAY
will show the result of the power-up self-test of the FADEC. lf you move the
APU master switch from ON to OFF and you did not move it to START, the result of the power-up self-test for the FADEC will show for 5 minutes then go out
FRA US/E gz
24.06.99
of view. You can then push the FAULT DlSPLAY switch on the FADEC and still
see the FADEC BITE code for the last auto shutdown.
Start Prepare Test.
When you move the APU master switch from ON to START then to ON, the
fault display will show the result of the start prepare test. When the APU operates, the fault display will show the condition of the APU system continuously.
If the airplane is on the ground and the APU does not start or has an automatic
shutdown, do not try a subsequent start until you look at the FADEC. When
you move the APU master switch to the OFF position and then to START, the
FADEC BITE code from the last auto shutdown will not show. The problem
from the first start can possibly not occur again on the subsequent start.
You must have the APU Master switch in the OFF position to make the FADEC
BITE code from the last auto shutdown show.
Nonvolatile Memory
Five categories of data will be transmitted to the DFDAU as part of the APU
condition monitoring. These are:

AMBIENT PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

The ambient pressure sensor senses inlet air pressure to the compressor.
The pressure sensor is mounted on the Ieft side of the air inlet muff above the
temperature sensor.
The pressure sensor measures inlet air pressure and sends that signal to the
FADEC for fuel flow scheduling and operation of the anti-surge bleed valve.
Ambient Temperature Sensor

The Ambient Temperature Sensor senses air inlet temperature to the compressor.
The temperature sensor is mounted on the left side of the air inlet muff below
the pressure sensor.
The temperature sensor measures inlet air temperature and sends the signal to
the FADEC for fuel flow scheduling.

SPEED SENSOR
Speed Sensor ( 2 )
The two speed sensors deliver analog signals to the FADEC for speed sensing.
The FADEC uses this information to operate start sequencing, condition monitoring and provides overspeed and underspeed control.
The speed sensors are located inside of the engine air intake muff and are
mounted on the intake-housing.
The magnetic probe of each sensor extends through the housing and aligns
with the Iobes on the oil impeller. As the turbine/compressor shaft rotates, the
Iobes on the oil impeller pass by a magnetic probe on each speed sensor. This
generates a sinusoidal output signal which is then sent to the FADEC.
The loss of speed sensor will signal the FADEC to give a MAINT light on the
P5 panel. The loss of both speed sensors will result in an automatic shutdown
and a FAULT light.

E. G. T. INDICATING SYSTEM.
EGT Indication provides a means of monitoring the efficiency of the APU during Startup, run (Ioaded or unloaded) and shutdown.
The EGT Indicating system consists of:
S 2 Thermocouples, located in the exhaust duct.
S Event Monitoring Unit, mounted on the cooling air duct.
S FADEC, mounted in the aft cargo compartment.
S Balancing Resistor, located in the forward right sidewall of the flight deck. .
S EGT Indicator, mounted in the P5 panel on the flight deck.
Once the APU switch has been placed to the START position, 28v dc is provided to the FADEC, which will then allow an EGT signal to be sent to the indicator on the flight deck. Indication wilI continue during operation and until five
minutes after shutdown. At this time, the time delay will prevent 28v dc to the
FADEC.
The thermocouples sense the exhaust gas temperature and convert it to an
electrical signal. This signal is sent to the Event Monitoring Unit (EMU), and
then to the FADEC. The FADEC uses EGT to modify fuel scheduling and modulate the Bleed Air Valve. The signal is also sent through a balancing resistor to
the EGT indicator on the PS panel.

THERMOCOUPLES ( 2 )
The chromel / alumel thermocouples extend into the exhaust stream to sense
APU exhaust gas temperature. The milli-volt output of the thermocouple is
transmitted to the FADEC which analyzes the signal for appropriate scheduling
of fuel and control of bleed air.
Event Monitoring Unit ( EMU ).
The Event Monitoring Unit (EMU) houses the resistive temperature detector
and also provides indication of APU hours and starts.
The EMU is located on the cooling air duct forward of the cooling fan.
EGT signals are sent to the EMU before going to the FADEC. The resistive
temperature detector in the EMU provides cold junction compensation for the
EGT thermocouples. Displayed on the EMU are the number of APU hours and
starts. Hours are not recorded until 98% RPM is accomplished.
FADEC
EGT input to the FADEC affects fuel scheduling. The EGT signal is also provided through a balancing resistor to the flight deck.

ID-MODULE
The Engine Identification Module is installed on the APU and provides a resistance value to a microprocessor. The microprocessor interprets this value and
enables the FADEC to identify the APU by a number from 0 to 2047.
The Engine Identiflcation Module can be physicalIy altered to select a desired
ID number. This is accomplished by removing the ID module protective cover
exposing a small printed wiring assembly. By cutting one or more copper clad
circuits, resistance is modified, which represents a number and is assigned to
that particular APU.
Location
The Engine Identification Module is installed on the left side of the APU below
the ignition exciter.
Example
The engine identification number can be represented from 0 to 2047 by physically cutting the appropriate copper clad circuits.
The values are as follows:
S W1
=1
S W2
=2
S W3
=4
S W4
=8
