General A
The Rolls Royce Model 250-
C20J is a 420 shaft horsepower
engine that provides 317 shaft
horsepower for takeoff and 270
shaft horsepower for continuous
‘operation.
The principle of the C20J
engine is_—_ continuous
combustion that produces a
steady supply of power. Air is
supplied to the engine through
air scoops on either side of the
fuselage immediately aft of the
transmission cowling. Prior to
the air reaching the engine inlet
and compressor, it will pass
through a protective screen or
particle separator to prevent the induction of large particulate matter.
The titanium compressor is a six-stage axial and single-stage centrifugal unit that both
compacts and increases the velocity of the incoming air. The compressed air is
discharged into a pair of external ducts where it is directed to the combustion section of
the engine. An automatic bleed air system is incorporated in the compressor that allows
some air to vent overboard during the start cycle. As the compressor speed increases,
the pneumatically controlled bleed valve will gradually close.
The combustion section consists of an outer case and liner, spark igniter, and a fuel
injector. Itis a prechamber combustion system designed to bum fuel at peak efficiency
and to minimize emissions. Fuel is sprayed into the chamber at a precisely controlled
rate. When the igniter is energized, the fuel and air mixture ignites. Combustion is
even and continuous as long as the proper air to fuel mixturo is maintained.
Combustion gases move forward out of the combustion liner to accelerate and sustain
the gas producer turbine section.
The turbine section includes a two-stage gas producer turbine mechanically linked to
the compressor and gas coupled to the two-stage power turbine. The gas producer
turbine will rotate at approximately 50,970 RPM at 100% N1 speed. The combustion
gases, after passing both stages of the N1 gas producer turbine, will pass through and
drive the two stages of the power turbine, which fumish the output power of the engine
and which rotate at a constant 33,290 rpm at 100% N2. The gases then exit through
two exhaust stacks which direct them upward and clear of the fuselage surface.

The engine is horizontally mounted aft of the transmission and above the fuselage to
simplify the drive system, improve the inleVexhaust arrangement, reduce cabin noise,
and to provide better structural integrity. It is supported by three bipod mounts on the
service deck and is coupled to the main transmission through the freewheeling unit and
main drive shaft.
The major engine components are compressor, combustion section, turbine section,
and power and accessory gearbox.
Compressor
‘The airframe-mountad intake ducting and the engine
‘compressor front support offer minimum restriction to
air flow, and they are designed so that ice formations
cannot result in compiete blockage of air flow to the
compressor. The intake also incorporates a means to
Prevent the entry of large objects that can damage the
engine.
The compressor consists of a front support, case
assembly, rotor wheels with blades, centrifugal
impeller, front diffuser assembly, diffuser vane
assembly, and compressor discharge tubes. Air
enters through the compressor inlet and is
compressed by six axial and one centrifugal
stage to increase air pressure. The ‘1st stage
rotor blades accelerate air rearward into the 1st
stage vane assembly. This 1st stage vane
assembly slows down the air and directs it onto
the 2nd stage compressor rotor blades. The 2nd
stage compressor rotor blades accelerate air rearward onto the 2nd stage vane
assembly, etc, until air enters the impeller where it is accelerated into the scroll which
collects and delivers it to two compressor discharge air tubes. As air is pumped through:
the compressor, pressure and temperature increase due to compression. At standard
conditions and 100% N1 rpm, the temperature and pressure increases across the
compressor are approximately 500°F and 7 to 1 respectively. The compressor rotor
requires a considerable amount of shaft horsepower to pump air. On a standard day at
100% N1 tpm approximately 600 shp is used. This power requirement varies directly
with air density and N1 rpm.
Air pumped by the compressor is required for the combustion of fuel, internal cooling,
and mass flow for power development. Approximately 20% to 25% of the air pumped
by the compressor is required for the combustion process. The remaining 75-80% is
utilized for cooling. This cooling air enters the combustion liner in such a manner that
the flame pattern is prevented from impinging on the wall of the combustion liner. As
the hot gases leave the combustion chamber and prior to entering the turbine sections,
they remix with the cooling air to decrease the temperature of the gases passing tho
turbine section to within desired limits.

Compressor Bleed Air System
Compressor blades are airfoils. If the angle of
attack is too great or if the velocity of air flowing
cover an airfoil is too low, flow separation occurs
and the airfoil stalls. In order to produce engines
with superior fuel consumption and rapid
acceleration characteristics, it is necessary to
operate as close to the stall region as possible.
The ability of the compressor to pump air is a
function of rpm. At low rpm, the compressor does
ais not have the same ability to pump as it does at
i Es = higher rpm. In order to keep both the angle of
attack and air velocity within desired limits, it is necessary to "unload" the compressor.
This is accomplished during starting and low power operations to make the compressor
sense less restriction to the airflow by using a compressor bleed air system.
This compressor bleed air system is an entirely automatic system which bleeds air from
the 5th stage of the compressor during engine starting, acceleration, and at low
compressor pressure ratio operation. The system includes a bleed air control valve
attached to the compressor case and the necessary plumbing between the diffuser
scroll and the bleed air control valve. The contro! valve is a modulating, pneumatic
control that bleeds this air pressure over a specific range of the ratio of compressor
discharge pressure to ambient pressure. This valve bleeds 5th stage pressure at low
pressure ratios to unload the compressor in order to prevent compressor stall and
surge.
Compressor discharge air pressure sensing for air bleed control valve operation is
obtained at a sensing port on the right front side of the diffuser scroll, The air bleed
control valve is open during starting and flight idle operation. It remains open until a
predetermined pressure ratio is obtained, whereupon the valve begins to modulate from
the open to the closed position.
When the engine is not in operation, the bleed valve is positioned fully open by means
of a spring located inside of the vented piston chamber. The spring, along with th stage
pressure directed onto the bleed valve end, are used during engine starting and
acceleration to position the bleed vaive fully open.
‘The bleed valve is positioned open during engine starting and acceleration until the
modulating pressure (Px) increases sufficiently to overcome the combined value of the
spring and the ambient pressure (Pa). The bleed valve then closes, and it remains
closed at all N1 speeds above the closing pm.

Anti-leing System
__ The anti-icing system provides hot air to the
compressor front support areas that are
subject to the formation of ice during icing
conditions. This system is entirely separate
and independent of any other bleed air
system. it is activated from the pilot's
position by manually moving the ANTLICE
(marked DE-ICE on helicopters prior to SIN
3567) switch, located in the miscellaneous
control panel, to the ON or OFF position. In
case of electrical failure. the system will
remain in the position selected at the time
of failure.
‘The compressor inlet guide vanes and front bearing
support hub are the only engine components with
anti-icing provisions. Anti-icing is provided by the
use of compressor discharge air that is taken from a
fitting at the twelve o'clock position on the front face
of the compressor scroll. An air shutoff valve and
electrically controlled actuator are mounted on top of
the gear case and mechanically linked to the valve.
The stainless steel compressor front support consists of a double wall outer skin, seven
hollow radial struts, and a double wall hub (bullet nose). During anti-icing operation, the
tubes deliver hot 2ir from the antiicing valve to the two enti-icing inlet ports on the
compressor front support. These ports deliver hot air into an annular passage formed
by the double wall outer skin. Hot air flows from the annular passage through the
hollow struts into the bullet nose. Some of the air flowing through the struts is
‘exhausted out of slots on the trailing edge of the struts. The remaining air is exhausted
out of holes in the bullet nose. All surfaces of the compressor front support that come
into contact with the compressor inlet air are heated and the formation of ice cannot
occur.

Combustion Section
The combustion section consists
of an outer combustion case and
a combustion liner. The
combustion liner is located inside
the outer case. The fuel nozzle
and igniter plug are mounted in
the aft end of the outer
combustion case. Compressor
discharge air (P3 air) enters the
combustion case through two air
tubes connected to the diffuser
scroll, Air then enters the
combustion liner through vanes
and holes in the liner dome and
skin. The air is mixed with fuel
Bi sprayed from the fuel injector and
combustion takes place. Most of
the cooling air enters the combustion liner in such a manner that the flame pattem is
prevented from impinging on the wall of the combustion liner. Combustion is even and
continuous as long as the proper air/fuel mixture is maintained.
Approximately 20% to 25% of the air delivered to this section is used to support
combustion. The remaining 75% to 80% of the airis used to expand the gases and cool
the intemal engine components. Approximately 2% of the air is used to seal oil
passages,
Turbine Section
‘As the gas stream leaves the combustion chamber, it passes to the turbine section.
This high-energy gas stream powers the two turbine sections to sustain the airflow
through the engine and provide output power. The turbine section consists of a gas
producer turbine support, power turbine support, a two-stage gas producer turbine rotor,
a two-stage power turbine rotor, and an exhaust collector support. The gas producer
turbine drives the compressor and certain engine accessories through the N1 drive
train. At 100% N1 the turbine rotates at approximately 50,970 rpm.
‘The power turbine drives the power output shaft, and certain engine accessories. The
two stage power turbine at 100% N2 rotates at a constant 33,290 rpm.

The turbine takes advantage of the impact and reaction of the gases passing through
the gas producer and power turbines. The turbines are considered to be of an impact,
reaction type. Varying fuel flow changes the temperature of the gases passing through
the turbine section and the amount of energy in the gas stream. This variation of gas
‘energy will result in a change in the expansion rate of the gases as well as a change in
gas velocity through the turbines. Any increase in gas temperature will result in a
Corresponding increase in the torque developed by the turbines.
Turbine Outlet Temperature (TOT)
The temperature of the gases passing through the
turbine is sensed by means of four thermocouples
located between the N1 and N2 turbine wheels.
Each thermocouple produces a voltage proportional
to the gas temperature. An average of the four
voltages is displayed on the cockpit TOT gage.
Power and Accessory Gearbox
The main power and accessory drive gear trains are enclosed in a single gear case.
The gear case serves as the structural support of the engine. All engine components
are attached to the case. There are two independent drive trains in the gearbox, gas
producer (N1), and power turbine (N2),
‘The gas producer N1 gear train drives (5 items) the N1 Tachometer Generator, Engine
Driven Fue! Pump, Fuel Control Unit, the Starter/Generator, and the Oil Pump (inside
‘the gearbox).
A two-stage helical and spur gear set is used to reduce N2 rotational speed from 33,290
rpm at the power turbine to 6016 rpm at the output drive spline
The N2 gear train drives (4 items) the N2 Tachometer Generator, the Power Turbine
Governor, the Torquemeter Gearshaft Assembly, and the Freewheeling Unit.

Torquemeter
The torquemeter in the 250 series engine gearbox is a hydraulic type that uses the
engine lubrication system as its oil (hydraulic) pressure source. In order to minimize
friction effects and provide accurate measurement of torque, the axial gear thrust on the
helical torquemeter gearshatt is high. Engine oil systam pressure must always be
greater than the torquemeter oil pressure and is regulated to a value of 115-130 psi.
The power turbine gear train has two stages of helical gearing. The helical powertrain
drive gear driving the larger diameter gear on the helical torquemeter gear shaft
accomplishes the first stage reduction. The smaller diameter gear on the helical
torquemeter gearshafi driving the helical power takeoff gear-shaft accomplishes the
second stage reduction. The helix angles on the gears are engineered to insure that
both stages of reduction produce a forward axial thrust on the helical torquemeter gear
shaft. If friction is neglected, this axial thrust is directly proportional to the torque
transmitted through the gears.
A ball bearing transmits helical gear thrust from the rotating helical torquemeter gear
shaft to the nonroteting torquemeter piston. This piston has an antirotation pin that
contacts a second antirotation pin on the flange of the support shaft. The piston is free
to slide axially on the nonrotating and axially retained support shaft. This sliding piston
serves as a variable position vaive that will admit regulated engine pressure cil from the
‘support shaft to the oil chamber formed by the piston and the flange on the support
shaft. The flange also has an external groove that houses a piston ring and expander.
The support shaft and piston are arranged in such a manner that an increase in gear
thrust increases the piston inlet port opening. Since the outlet openings of the piston
femain constant, the pressure inside the oll chamber is directly proportional to torque.
Pressure in the oil chamber is directed to the torquemeter pressure sensing port on the
front side of the accessory gearbox. The chamber oil is transferred through the support
shaft antirotation pin and filter screen that is located in this passage.
During a stabilized power condition, the axial thrust force acting on the piston is counter
balanced by the torquemeter pressure in the oil chamber. When the torque output of
the engine is increased, the result is an increased axial thrust acting on the piston and
an unbalanced condition on the piston. The piston moves forward slightly to increase
the piston inlet port opening. With a larger opening, there is less restriction to the flow
of oil into the oil chamber. As a result, the pressure in the oil chamber increases. The
pressure in the oil chamber continues to increase until its force acting on the piston
counterbalances the axial thrust acting on the piston, When the two forces are equal,
the piston stops moving and the pressure in the oil chamber will be higher than it was
prior to the torque increase, The torquemeter indicating system, sensing a higher
pressure, registers the increased torque.

Engine Fuel System
The principal components of the engine fuel system are the engine driven fuel pump,
gas producer fuel control, power turbine govemor, two accumulators and a double
check valve, and a fuel nozzle.
The engine driven fuel pump incorporates a single gear type pumping element and a
bypass pressure regulating valve. When the engine is in operation, the gas producer
fuel control bypasses fuel not required for operation back to the pump assembly. The
regulator valve controls the bypass fuel pressure.
The gas producer fuel control and the power turbine governor provide for a fuel
metering system. To regulate and to maintain fuel flow, this system senses gas
producer rpm, power turbine rpm, compressor discharge pressure, and twist grip
position,
The double check valve and accumulators, located in the pneumatic line between the
power turbine governor and the governor reset section of the gas producer fuel control,
are incorporated to dampen torsional oscillations encountered in helicopter rotor
systems.
The fuel nozzle has a single entry and a dual outlet orifice. This nozzle provides an
atomized spray of fuel at all flow conditions that are required by the engine. It is
designed to provide an optimum spray angle for starting the engine, plus even
distribution of fuel into the combustion liner. The fuel nozzle Is equipped with a filter to
minimize the possibility of contamination.
The fuel control system controls engine power output by controlling the gas producer
speed. These speed levels are established by the action of the power turbine governor,
which senses power turbine speed. The power turbine speed is selected by the pilot
through the use of the governor RPM increase/decrease switch on the collective, The
power required to maintain this speed is automatically maintained by power turbine
govemor action on metered fuel flow through the gas producer fuel control. The power
turbine governor lever schedules power turbine govemor requirements. The power
turbine governor schedules the gas producer speed (N1) change to maintain a constant
output shaft (N2) speed.
Fuel flow for engine control is established as a function of compressor discharge
pressure, engine speed (N1 gas producer andior N2 power turbine), gas producer lever
angle and power turbine governor lever angle. Fuel flow is a function of compressor
discharge pressure as sensed in the fuel control
The engine controls consist of the N1 gas producer controls and the N2 droop
compensator controls. The gas producer controls are operated by a twist grip on the
collective stick. The droop compensator controls are operated from a bellcrank in the
collective system.

Droop Compensator System
The N2 droop compensator control system consists of a mechanical linkage between an
idler in the collective system and a lever mounted on the power turbine governor shaft.
Movement of the collective stick results in a repositioning of the governor shaft. This
action provides droop compensation to prevent rpm variations as power changes are
made. The system incorporates a linear actuator which is controlled electrically by a
GOVernor rpm INCrease/DECRease switch mounted on the collective head.
The droop compensator maintains N2 engine rpm as power demand is increased. It is
a direct mechanical linkage between the collective stick and the speed selector lever on
the N2 governor and will maintain N2
tpm when properly rigged.
Droop is defined as the speed change
in N2 engine rpm as power is
increased from a no load condition.
This characteristic is designed into the
governor system to prevent instability
from developing as engine output is
increased. Without this characteristic,
N1 speed would overshoot or hunt the
value necessary to satisfy the new
power condition. Also, if N2 is allowed
fo droop other than momentarily, the reduction in rotor speed could become critical.

Press to mute.
Collective pitch - Full down,
Throttle - Full closed.
Rotors - Clear.
Starter - Engage (observe Engine Starter Limitations,
Section 3).
Engine oil pressure - Indication of increase.
Throttle - Open to flight idle between 12 to 15% gas producer RPM with Turbine Outlet
Temperature (TOT) at or below 150°C. Use the following guide for desired N1 starting
speed versus outside air temp: 15% N1 RPM above 45°F (7°C); 13% N1 RPM at 0°F to
45°F (-18°C to 7°C); 12% N1 RPM below O°F (-18°C). A start should not be attempted
at N1 speeds below 12%.
Verify that rotor is turning by 25% N41.
Starter - Release at 58% gas producer RPM (N1).
Engine and transmission oil - Check pressures increasing.
If the engine has been shut down for more than 15 minutes, stabilize at idle speed for
one minute before increasing power.

Servicing
Certain oils conforming to following specifications are approved for use in engine:
Spectfication OAT Range
MAL-L.7808 (NATO 0-148) Any OAT
MIL-L-23699 (NATO 0-156) OAT above ~40°C(-40°F)
DOD-L-85734 OAT above -40°C (-40'F)
NOTE
Because of availabilty, reduced coking and better lubricating qualities at higher
temperatures, qualified MIL-L-23699 oils are preferred by engine manufacturer.
The best suited oil for operation in the 250 series engines are, Mobile Jet Oil 254 and
Aeroshell 560.
NOTE
Long tem use of DOD-L-85734 oil may increase probability of seal leakage in
accessory gearbox.
Refer to BHT-206B-3-FM-1 for engine oil limitations.
Capacity: 5.5 U.S. quarts (5.2 liters).
Engine oil tank is located under aft fairing, and access doors are provided for filing and
draining oll tank. A dip stick attached to the filer cap is provided to determine quantity
of oil in tank.
