COOLDOWN TIME DURING SHUTDOWN (IN CASE PNEUMATIC SUPPLY IS IN USE):
In case bleed air is supplied by APU load compressor to aircraft pneumatic system
and APU shutdown command is given by putting the MASTER switch PB off then APU
goes for a cool down period.
For Training Purposes Only
APU goes cool down for a duration of APU goes cool down for a duration of
60 secs. 120 secs.

APU STARTING SEQUENCE
(OPERATION OF 3-WAY FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE IN FCU): The ECB controls the fuel
3-way solenoid valve for positive fuel shut-off.
The valve is controlled open during the start sequence and closed during
the stop sequence. Fuel goes back to the pump inlet.

DEOILING SOLENOID VALVE:
Especially during the cold start condition; the oil has a high viscosity.
The de-oiling solenoid valve reduces the oil pressure pump load at
any APU start by allowing air to enter the inlet of the oil supply pump. During
the APU shutdown, the de-oiling solenoid valve prevents the
coking of the oil remaining in the bearing chambers.
