All Rigs Rovaros For Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT ) 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. 61 2000 PS Power 9-1-2009 COPYRIGHT 1906, 208 Ba Hetcapie Texan he. Advgonof Toston Ine.

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. 63 2088 PG Powerplant 9-12008 ‘COPYRIGHT 1006, 2009 Ret Hetzepler Tenan ne "Acton ol Textron le ARIQNS Roser For Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT succo Nozze veut COMPRESSOR ZL DISCHARGE LEZ incu" Af ee fe yy, Sy Yo nvm VA se Py sae a oe ie eee cher 3 100, 3 Madd 2 oo] : | - | Q 3 7 PEN BLEED al RASS (51) C40) (29) (-10K-4.7) (4A) (18) (27) 4B). 49)_ (60) 7H AMBIENT TENPERATURE— °F (°C) 64 2168 9 Powerpant 31.2008, COPYRIGHT 1988, 008 Bal HicoparTewronine. Aduson of Taxon nc. A Rigs Reuened For Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT 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. 65 2000 FO Powerplant 942009 COPYRIGHT 1008, 209 Bat Heteopiee Toon Ie Adlvon of Toxin Inc. AIRights Reserved For Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT 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. 6-6 12058 PG Poweniant 31.2008 ‘COPYRIGHT 1995, 209 BallHaicote Taxon re AdivsonofTexton ine. A Rghts Reward For Training Purposes Cnly POWERPLANT 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. 67 2068 PG Poworlar_ 31.2008, COPYRIGHT 1865, 2009 Dat HeleaperTexton I=. /A chin of Teton Ins.

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.

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. 6-11 2008 PG Poworpart s-1-2008 COPYRIGHT 1006, 2088 Bat Heleapar Texan eA Gon ol Tedon la Al its Reserve For Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT ACCESSORIES LOCATION Om FILTER ASSEMBLY CAS phooucte FACHOMEtER GINEEATOR tAD GAS propucen FUEL CONTIOL Fue PUMP ueNee DRAIN VALVE FOWLE TUIBINE TACHOMETER ‘CENGATOR PAD M THERMOCOUMLE HARNESS ‘ASSEMBLY STANT COUNTER 612 2088 PG Fommplnt 3.2003, ‘COPYRIGHT 1005, 2003 Sell HelcoperTexton edison of Texto inc AURIghs Reserved er Training Purposes Only POWERPLANT Engine Accessories The pressure discharge (Pc) air fitter is located in the compressor discharge air line that furnishes both the power turbine governor and gas producer fuel control with pressure discharge air for operation.

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.
