Engine Driven Pumps (EDPs) (two per Engine).
On ground only, and with the engines off, the Electro Motor Pumps
are used to pressurize the system for the cargo doors (green circuit)

or the body wheel steering (yellow circuit) operation, or for


maintenance operations.
The Hydraulic System Monitoring Unit (HSMU) manages each
hydraulic system. The HSMU sends local warnings on the overhead
panel and indications on the Display Units (DUs). They are fully
independent and are supplied by DC BUS.
Different AC BUS supplies each Electro Motor Pump (EMP).
One Electro Motor Pump G-EMP A is also supplied by AC Ground
Service BUS to operate cargo doors when only this electrical bus is
available.
In normal electrical configuration (all AC Bus available), the HSMU
selects for automatic cargo doors/body gear steering actuation different
EMPs depending on the flight number. If the selected EMP is not
healthy then the HSMU will select the other one.
The HSMU logics for managing EMP automatic and manual modes
are defined to give priority to the current active mode.
If one EMP is already running in automatic mode, then any manual
request from the overhead panel is ignored by the HSMU.
If one EMP is already running in manual mode, any automatic request
for cargo doors (green) or Body Wheel Steering (yellow) is ignored
by the HSMU.
A pressure transmitter is used to monitor system pressure status and
the information is sent to the HSMU and HYD SD page. The pressure

HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2)


To enable hydraulic reservoirs air pressurization through
System Servicing (continued) GSP, the pressure source must be between 10 bars (145
psi) and 17 bars (247 psi).
Reservoir Pressurization/Depressurization
Each hydraulic reservoir can be pressurized by three different sources:
- Engine HP,
- Pneumatic system,
- GSP.
The reservoirs supply hydraulic fluid to the EDPs, the Electro Motor
Pumps and the cargo door auxiliary pump.

The reservoir nominal pressure is 65 PSI (4,1bars).


Each reservoir has a pressure relief valve that evacuates air or liquids
in case of fluid overflow or overpressure.
A pressure switch monitors the reservoir pressure and triggers a
warning in case of low pressure.
Air pressure value can be read on the reservoir itself via a direct
reading gage or on the GSP. For GSP indicators, the air pressure is
transmitted from the RSVR pressure transducer via the HSMU to the
gage.
On the GSP, an air depressurization switch can be manually activated
to electrically depressurize the reservoir via the solenoid of the
depressurization valve. In addition, a manual P/B on the
depressurization valve can be used to depressurize the reservoir. A
reservoir air pressurization valve is used to pressurize both hydraulic
reservoirs from a ground servicing unit.
Human factor points:

WARNING: When using the depress switch, air pressure containing


fluid vapors is released from the tank to the rear part of
the outer engine pylon. Due to the size of the A/C, this
area is not visible from the GSP only a visual check of
the area will make sure that the area is clear.
On the inner surface of the GSP door, there is a label to
remind us that:

System Servicing (continued)

Reservoir Level Check and Refilling


The main components of the reservoir filling system are installed on
the GSP:
- Filling selector valve which is used to select manually the reservoir
to be filled,
- Filling level gage which indicates the fluid level of the selected
reservoir,

- Ground self-sealing coupling which lets perform the reservoir filling


from a ground hydraulic cart,
- Filling hand pump, with its handle and a flexible hose, can be used
to manually fill the hydraulic reservoirs from a can,
- Filling filter to protect the hydraulic systems from pollution.
A level transmitter and a low level switch are used to detect the
reservoir level.
The value measured by the level transmitter is compared with a
nominal value based on the fluid temperature and the fluid level status
of ATA 32 LE HGS reservoirs and HP accumulators. This comparison
is shown on the ECAM and the service panel. In addition, as the
HSMU is connected to the Onboard Maintenance System (OMS) for
servicing report, this comparison is shown on the servicing report as
well.
On each reservoir, a sight glass can be used to check the reservoir
level when the information to compare the level transmitter value with
the nominal value is not available.
Hydraulic reservoirs are filled from the GSP, through the hydraulic
system return lines.
There are two filling possibilities:
- From a hydraulic ground cart connected to the coupling socket,
- From a hydraulic fluid container using the A/C hand pump.
When filling from a hydraulic ground cart, a restrictor prevents
overpressure.

Check Of Filters And Fluid Sampling


Several filters are installed in the hydraulic system.
Each HP, return and case drain filters has an electrical and mechanical
clogging indicators (Differential Pressure Indicators).
The return filters include a bypass device. On the GSP, the reservoir
filling filter has only a mechanical clogging indicator and is not
electrically monitored.

The filter clogging status is displayed on the OMS via the HSMU.
A clogged filter is considered as a Class 4 item.
The PFR indicates the names of the filters that are clogged. The related
filter time counter is memorized by FWS.
A generic FWS alert is trigged if one filter has been clogged for 700
FH.
A sampling valve is installed on the HP belly fairing manifold. It
makes it possible to take samples of fluid from the system (pressurized
or not) for analysis.

Leak Draining
Some bottles are installed to collect fluid leaks from:
- Each Electro Motor Pump,
- Each Air / Hydraulic heat exchangers,
- Slat and flap Power Control Units (PCUs),
- The THS Actuator.
Human factor point:

CAUTION: When draining the bottles, fluid spill age on the


components/panels in the vicinity can occur. This fluid
is likely to have corrosive effects on a long term period,
therefore in case of spillage, cleaning will prevent these
corrosive effects.

Engine Driven Pump disengagement

Open the fan cowl to access the Engine Driven Pump (EDP). It is possible
to do a mechanical disengagement of the Engine Driven Pump (EDP)
from the engine gearbox by means of the declutch system.
On the ground, for maintenance task, the EDP can be manually
de-clutched (engine shutdown) by pullin g a ring outward. A black plastic
cap covers this ring.
In flight, the EDP disengagement will be operated through an electrical
solenoid commanded from a red guarded on the hydraulic panel. In this
case, both pumps of the given engine will be de-clutched. The
disengagement of the EDP is irreversible in flight until a specific
maintenance action is done.
The re-engagement of the EDP can be only made manually (engine shut
down) by acting on the reset port.
The reset port is also a visual indi cator to give the clutch status: engaged
(ON), disengaged (OFF) or reset.

System Servicing

Accumulator
The power accumulator is a metal below accumulator, which is
pre-charged with Helium.
This technology avoids periodical gas recharging.
To know if the pre-charge in the accumulator is the right one, it is
necessary to do an OMS test.
Reservoir Pressurization
There are two depressurization switches located on the Ground Service
Panel (GSP), in the belly fairing. Each one of them activates the
depressurization of one system reservoir.

WARNING: HF point: Remote location of outlet pipe


The reservoir can be pressurized using the high-pressure air from the
engine.
It can also be pressurized using air from the Pneumatic System.
The maintenance operations to pressurize and depressurize the
hydraulic reservoir can be done from the GSP.
The reservoir can be manually depressurized through the air
depressurization switches. There are two switches placed on the GSP,
each one is used to depressurize its own hydraulic reservoir. For
pressurization, there is an air pressurization valve, which pressurizes
at the same time both hydraulic reservoirs. To do this operation a
ground cart is necessary.

The reservoir filling is done through the Ground Service Panel. This
operation can be done either manually using the reservoir filling hand
pump or through a maintenance filling Ground Cart.
To fill the reservoir, it is necessary to previously select the green or
yellow systems, and then install the ground cart.
The hydraulic level in the reservoir is accessible through the OMT.
On the servicing reports page, an icon placed next to the parameter
that is being measured shows its condition.
A red icon indicates that the value is out of the tolerance threshold
and a black one indicates that the tolerance threshold has been
triggered but the value is back within the good limits.
After selecting the parameter on the servicing page, we have more
additional information, with analogical or digital values.
It is also possible to get access to different Airnav procedures or
serviced reports using the hyperlinks on this page.

System Servicing (continued)

System Filters
All the filters in the hydraulic system are non-cleanable and have both
visual and electrical clogging indicators. However, the filling filter
on the GSP has a visual clogging indicator only.
When the filter is clogged, a failure message class 4 is generated (HYD
Filter Clogged) and a PFR is triggered with the clogged filter as a
stand-by fault. After 700FH, this class 4 failure becomes a "class 1",

as "maintenance time limited item". It is possible to get information


about the filters through the OMT.
Inside the Post Flight Reports, select the standby faults tab.
It is possible to find filter-clogging information inside it.
By clicking on the item, it is possible to get access to the TSM.
A specific function on the OMS is used to set the standby fault counter
to zero after the replacement of a hydraulic filter element.
For that function, on the OMS home page select:
- System Report/Test,
- ATA 29,
- HSMU (the applicable one green or yellow),
- Specific functions,
- Filter clogging-reset: select the applicable filter, which has been
replaced,
- Start the test/function and at the end an indication comes into view,
indicating that the reset of the filter clogging counter is done. It also
clears the related BITE message on the PFR,
- Close the system Report/Test application.
