Ingles P3

1. Is a device on a vehicle that provides energy for functions other than propulsion. They are
commonly found on large aircraft and naval ships as well as some large land vehicles.
An auxiliary power unit (APU).

2. The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a constant-speed gas turbine engine installed in the:
Unpressurized tail cone.

3. The APU is a self-contained unit, which enables the A/C to be independent of:
External pneumatic and electrical power sources.

+ The APU is designed to operate throughout the:

Entire flight envelope.

4. Electrical power is available whenever the:

APU operates.

5. APU bleed air, if required as a back-up bleed source in flight, is available up to:
FL200 for the APIC 3200 (up to FL225 for the Honeywell 131-9).

6. The APU is able to supply:

- electrical power for the A/C systems,
- bleed air for engine starting and air conditioning on the ground,
- bleed air for air conditioning/pressurization and wing anti-ice in flight.

+ The APU is installed in its:

Compartment in the tail cone.

+ This assembly allow air to reach the APU air inlet plenum.
The Air Intake Flap and Duct.
7. Various systems including the APU Bleed duct, the APU Generator output feeder cable, and the
APU fuel supply manifold go through the:
Front firewall.

8. The Air Intake Flap actuator and the Fire Bottle are installed:
Forward of the front firewall.

9. The hot gases from the power section and un-used APU bleed air are released through the:
Exhaust pipe.

10. The APU is a constant speed, single-shaft gas turbine engine that delivers mechanical shaft
power to drive an:
Accessory gearbox and a load compressor.

+ The gearbox drives the:

APU generator.

11. Supplies pneumatic power to start the air conditioning.

The Load Control Valve.

+ Protects the load compressor against insufficient flow.

A Surge Control Valve.

12. The APU operation is controlled and monitored by the:

Electronic Control Box (ECB).

+ The ECB has full authority over the following APU functions:
- starting,
- acceleration,
- speed governing,
- indication,
- fault monitoring,
- interface with A/C systems.
13. The APU is capable of unattended operation; therefore, the ECB automatically shuts down the
APU in case of a:
FAULT to protect the APU.

+ The APU generator is driven by:

The gearbox.

14. Provides the pneumatic power for starting, air conditioning and it integrates the protective Surge
Control function required to protect theload compressor against insufficient flow.
The Bleed Control valve.

15. The controls used to operate the APU are:

- the APU MASTER SWitch and START P/BSW, on the APU control panel,
- the APU fire controls, on the FIRE panel,
- additionally, P/BSWs to deliver the electrical or pneumatic power, and to test the APU auto
extinguishing circuits.

16. In case of an APU FIRE warning on the ground, a loud horn will sound in the:
Nose wheel well to tell ground personnel.

+ Associated with the horn, a red APU FIRE light will come on, on the:
External power control panel on the lower fuselage.

+ It is possible to do an EMERGENCY shut down of the APU from this panel by lifting the guard and
pushing the:
APU SHUT OFF P/BSW.

17. APU parameters are displayed on the:

ECAM APU page.

+ The APU generator parameters are duplicated on the:

ECAM ELEC page.
+ The APU pneumatic parameters are duplicated on the:
ECAM BLEED page.

+ The APU is installed in the:

Tail section of the fuselage.

18. The ECB is in the:

Aft cargo compartment, RH side.

+ The APU has an Air intake flap.

19. The intake flap is open when:

The APU MASTER SWitch is selected ON and closes when the MASTER SWitch is selected
OFF.

+ When open, supplies air to the APU inlet for combustion and pneumatic supply.

20. Using the MCDU, you can have access to the:

Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) fault messages of the APU system.

+ Specific Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) tests are available as well.

SAFETY PRECATIONS.
-Make sure that you use the correct personal protection when you work on the APU, as fuel
and oil are poisonous.
-Do not touch the APU until it is sufficiently cool.
-If you operate the APU with the APU access doors open or removed, make sure that you have
the correct fire fighting equipment available.
-The onboard APU fire extinguishing system is not sufficient when these doors are not closed.
