ubject: CECO Power Turbine Governor Flushing Procedure to Remove

Suspected Inkrnal Contamination

nternal contamination in the governor can lead to an array of performance

roblems: uncontrollable N2, sluggish response, high power lever torque,
rratic operation, or uncompensated N2 droop. As a result, the unit is pre-
naturely removed and retul ned to the distributor for corrective action. In
nany cases, investigations of prematurely removed governors revealed that
ontamination may have been sufficient to affect performance.

&ter reviewing the different operating environments and fuel handling techni-
ues, the most practical approach to the problem is to flush the governor with
lean, filtered calibrating fluid or engine fuel after overhaul or removal from
torage. In the event of premature removal from the aircraft/engine for one
f the aforementioned problems, operators may elect to flush the unit or re-
urn it to the distributor for corrective action.

Thefollowing flushing procedure, therefore, is recommended at

l Operator maintenance facilities or distributor facilities on

all model MC-40 Power Turbine Governors, P/L 104100
or 104500, removed from service for suspected contamina-
tion or performance problems of uncontrollable N2, sluggish
response, high power lever torque, erratic operations, or
uncompensated N2 droop.
0 Distributor facilities on all governors processed for overhaul
or after removal from storage. Purging should also be ac-
complished prior to preset calibration.

IANPOWER: It is estimated that approximately 0.4 man-hour will

be required to flush one unit.
‘OOLING: A Test/Flushing stand or other fluid supply capable of
delivering Calibrating Fluid, MIL-F-7024, Type II, or
engine fuel at 100 psig with a fuel delivery of 350 pounds
per hour (phr). Filtrationof 10 microns is required. Use
HoldingFixture STD67180 (or equivalent) mounted to
flushing stand (or equivalent) and Speed Rotor Wrench,
STD67229 (or equivalent).

ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
A. Prepare the power turbine governor for flushing. Refer to Figure ! for
port identification.
1. Mount the governor on STD6’7180 Holding Fixture (or equivalent),
secured to flushing stand (see Figure 2). Plug or cap all open ports
and thoroughly wash all external surfaces with calibrating fluid or
engine fuel. Blow dry with dry filtered compressed air.
2. Remove the following pressure port plugs and fittings: BG, SS, AL,
AG, PO, Bypass and Speed Set Access Port. Remove the Speed
Sense Rotor Group using STD67229 Wrench and the SS restriction.
NOTE: Do not remove O-rings from port plugs, fittings, and speed
sense rotor group unless damaged.
3. Connect the Flushing Stand fluid supply line to the Fuel Inlet Port
(see Figure 1, sheet 1).

NOTE: Calibrating fluid or engine fuel that is flushed through the

governor shall not be recirculated or reused for flushing
unless it is refiltered to 10 microns or better.
B. Flush the governor as follows:
CAUTION
BE SURE THAT THE FUEL OUTLET AND BYPASS PORTS
AREOPEN. COVERTHEGOVERNORWITHACLEAN
PLASTIC BAG TO PROTECT AGAINST FLUID SPRAY.
1. Supply flushing fluid to the Governor Fuel Inlet as required to obtain
a steady flow from the open pressure ports (approximately 100 psig
at a flow rate of 325 phr).

2. Allow each port to purge lo-20 seconds. Install one plug or fitting
at a time in the following order, purging between installations.

a. Install SS Restriction and Rotor Group.

b. Install BG pressure port plug.

C. Install SS pressure port plug.

d. Cycle the governor power lever through its travel range while
purging through the AL port. Install AL pressure port plug.

e. On early Model Governors only, remove AD pressure port

plug and Response Lag Jet. Purge and cycle PC pressure
ambient to 80 psia, if air supply is available. Install AD
pressure port plug and Response Lag Jet. On later models,
the AD pressure port and Response Lag Jet are eliminated.

f. Purge and cycle PC pressure ambient to 80 psia, if air sup-

ply is available. Install AG pressure port plug.

g. Remove the Fixed Orifice located through the Fuel Outlet.

Purge md reinstall the Fixed Orifice.
h. Cycle the governor power lever through its travel range
and install the speed set access cover.
1. Temporarily restrict the Fuel Outlet and Bypass ports.
Install the PO pressure port plug.
j. Purge through the Bypass and Fuel Outlet Ports.
NOTE: Whenever possible, position the governor and
holding fixture in such a way as to have purging
fluid directed to test stand sink.
C. Completion:
1. Disconnect the governor Fuel Inlet Port from the flushing stand
supply.
2. Install aircraft/engine fittings. Torque all plugs and fittings to
the required specification and lockwire as required.

3. Remove the governor from the flushing &and.

a. Maintenance units are ready for reinstallation,

b. Overhaul units

(1) If unit is in process of overhaul, the unit is now ready for

Preset Calibration.

(2) If overhaul has been completed, final calibration recheck

is suggested if practical.
