MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - RESERVOIR PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM - COMPONENT LOCATIONS

General
The reservoir pressurization system supplies pneumatic
pressure to system A and system B reservoirs. Standby
system reservoir pressure is supplied by a fill and
balance line connected to the system B reservoir.
These are the reservoir pressurization system
components:
- Reservoir pressurization module
- Orifice assembly
- Reservoir depressurization valve (2)
- Air pressure gauge (2)
- Pressure relief valve (2).
The reservoir pressurization system components are in
the main landing gear wheel well.
Reservoir Pressurization Module
The reservoir pressurization module mixes bleed air
from both engines or the APU pneumatic systems for
hydraulic reservoir pressurization.
The reservoir pressurization module contains these

The check valves isolate the left and right sides of
the pneumatic system.
The cleanable air filter prevents downstream
contamination of the system.
The air charging valve permits ground pressurization of
the hydraulic system reservoirs for maintenance.
The test port permits installation of a pressure gage
to do tests.
Orifice Assembly
The orifice assembly sends pneumatic pressure from the
reservoir pressurization module to the system A and
system B reservoirs.
The orifice assembly is between the reservoir
pressurization module and the main hydraulic system
reservoirs.
Reservoir Depressurization Valves
The reservoir depressurization valves let you manually
vent the reservoirs for maintenance.

Air Pressure Gauges

An air pressure gauge for each hydraulic system A and B

reservoir gives an indication of the air pressure in
the reservoirs.

The gauges are between each reservoir depressurization

valve and its related reservoir.

Pressure Relief Valves

A pressure relief valve for each main reservoir opens

when the air pressure in the reservoir increases to 60-
65 psi to protect the reservoir.

The relief valves are near the top of each hydraulic

system A and system B reservoir.

Training Information Point

If you remove pressure from the system B reservoir, you

also remove pressure from the standby system reservoir.

When you pull the engine fire warning switch, the EDP
supply shutoff valve moves to the closed position. This
stops the supply of hydraulic fluid to the EDP.

MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - ENGINE-DRIVEN PUMP
General The pump is rated at 34 gpm at 2900 psi and 3270 rpm.

The engine-driven pumps (EDPs) supply hydraulic
pressure for the hydraulic systems A and B.
Location
The EDP is on the front face of the engine accessory
gearbox on the left side of the engine.
The EDP attaches to the engine accessory gearbox with a
clamp. The supply, pressure, and case drain lines
connect to the EDP with self-seal, disconnect fittings.
The supply, pressure, and case drain lines connect to
the engine cowl support beam with seal-seal, disconnect
fittings. This makes engine change easier.

Physical Description Training Information Point

The EDP is an axial-piston, variable-displacement,
hydraulic pump.
The EDP internal pressure compensator controls the
output pressure of the pump to approximately 3000 psi.
The pump has these three lines that attach to it:
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE EDP MORE THAN TWO MINUTES
UNLESS THE FUEL TANKS CONTAIN MORE THAN 1675
LBS (761 KG) OF FUEL. IF THE PUMP OPERATES FOR
TWO MINUTES WITHOUT THE REQUIRED FUEL IN THE

AGAIN.

- Hydraulic fluid supply line

- Output pressure line
- Case drain line.

The case drain fluid uses some of the supply fluid to

cool and lubricate the EDP. The case drain fluid then
29-10-CC-007 Rev 1 05/22/1998

goes to the case drain filter, the heat exchanger, and

then to the reservoir.

A depressurization solenoid valve blocks the pump

output flow when you move the EDP ENG HYD PUMP switch
on the hydraulic panel to the OFF position.

MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - ELECTRIC MOTOR-DRIVEN PUMP
Purpose
The electric motor-driven pumps (EMDPs) supply
hydraulic pressure for hydraulic systems A and B.
Location
The EMDPs are in the center of the forward bulkhead in
the main wheel well.
Physical Description
The EMDP has an electric motor that mechanically
connects to a hydraulic pump. The motor operates with
115v ac power. The pump is a piston-type variable
displacement hydraulic pump that is smaller than the
EDP.
Some of the supply fluid into the pump becomes case
drain fluid. The case drain fluid cools and lubricates
the pump and then goes to the heat exchanger and
reservoir through the case drain connection.
The temperature switch in the EMDP monitors the
temperature of the EMDP. When the temperature increases
to more than 235F (113C), a signal goes to the
29-10-CC-008 Rev 1 07/25/2000
hydraulic control panel. The overheat light for the
pump comes on.
The acoustic filter decreases the noise from the EMDP.
The EMDPs are rated at 5.7 gpm at 2700 psi.

FLIGHTSAFETYBOEING PROPRIETARY(c) All rights reserved - See title page for details
Training Information Point
If you operate the EMDPs intermittently, use this
procedure:
- In a five minute period, do not make more than five
starts of any one pump.
- Wait 30 seconds before you start the pump again.
If you attempt more than five starts in a 5 minute
period, you should do one of these steps:
- Run the pump continuously for 5 minutes after the
fifth start (monitor the overheat warning lights)
- Turn the pump OFF and allow it to cool for more
than 30 minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE EMDP MORE THAN TWO MINUTES
UNLESS THE FUEL TANKS CONTAIN MORE THAN 1675
LBS (761 KG) OF FUEL. IF THE PUMP OPERATES FOR
TWO MINUTES WITHOUT THE REQUIRED FUEL IN THE
TANK, ALLOW THE RESERVOIR TO RETURN TO AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE PUMP
AGAIN.
NOTE: If the fuel temperature increases to more than
90F (32C), monitor system A and B overheat
lights. Move the pump switch to OFF when the
overheat light comes on.
