HYDRAULIC POWER - INTRODUCTION

General Auxiliary Hydraulic Systems

The main and auxiliary hydraulic systems supply The two auxiliary systems are the standby hydraulic
pressurized fluid to these airplane systems: system and the power transfer unit (PTU) system.

- Primary flight controls The standby hydraulic system supplies hydraulic power
- Secondary flight controls to these components:
- Landing gear extension and retraction
- Nose wheel steering - Rudder
- Main gear brakes - Leading edge flaps and slats
- Thrust reversers. - Both thrust reversers.

These systems make up the hydraulic power system: The PTU is the alternate source of hydraulic power for
the leading edge flaps and slats.
- Main hydraulic systems
- Ground servicing system Hydraulic Indicating System
- Auxiliary systems
- Hydraulic indicating systems. The hydraulic indicating system shows these indications
in the flight compartment:
Main Hydraulic Systems
- System pressure
The two systems are A and B. System A has most of its - Reservoir quantity
components on the left side of the airplane and system - Pump low pressure lights
B on the right side. - Electric pump overheat lights
- Standby reservoir low quantity light.

Hydraulic Systems A and B
The hydraulic system A and B components are almost the
same. The system A components are on the left side of
the airplane and system B components are on the right
side of the airplane.
These are the components in the main landing gear wheel
well for each main hydraulic system:
- Hydraulic reservoir
- Engine driven-pump (EDP) supply shutoff valve
- Electric motor-driven pump (EMDP)
- Pressure module
- EMDP Case drain filter module
- Return filter module.
The system A engine-driven pump (EDP) is on the left
29-00-CC-003 Rev 0 05/22/1998
engine. The system B engine-driven pump (EDP) is on the
right engine. The EDP case drain filter modules are on
the aft side of the landing gear support beam on the
wing.
The heat exchangers are in main fuel tanks 1 and 2.
