V2500 PROPULSION UNIT
Propulsion Unit Introduction
Gas Path
A simplified view of the propulsion unit is shown below. All
the air entering the engine passes through the inlet cowl to
the fan.
At the fan exit the air stream divides into two flows:-
• the core engine flow
• the by-pass flow
the by-pass ratio is 5.42:1.
Core Engine Flow
The core engine flow passes through the fixed inlet guide
vanes to the three stage booster then to the HP
compressor, the combustion section and the HP & LP
turbines and finally exhausts into the CNA.

By-pass Flow
The fan exhaust air (cold stream) entering the by-pass duct
passes through the fan outlet guide vanes and flows along
the by-pass duct to exhaust into the CNA.
Common Nozzle Assembly (C.N.A.)
The core engine (hot) exhaust and the (coo1) by-pass flow
are mixed in the CNA before passing through the single
propelling nozzle to atmosphere.
PROPULSION UNIT OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
ENGINE MARK NUMBERS
For easy identification of the present and all future variants
of the V2500, International Aero Engines has introduced a
new engine designation system.
• All engines will retain V2500 as their generic name.
• The first three characters of the full designation are V25,
identifying each engine as a V2500.
• The next two figures indicate the engine's rated
sea-level takeoff thrust.
• The following letter shows the aircraft manufacturer.
• The last figure represents the mechanical standard
of the engine.
This system will provide a clear designation of a particular
engine as well as a simple way of grouping by name,
engines with similar characteristics.
• The designation V2500-D collectively describes,
irrespective of thrust, all engines for McDonnell
Douglas applications and V2500-A all engines for Airbus
Industrie.
• Similarly, V2500-5 describes all engines built to the 5
mechanical standard, irrespective of airframe
application.

The only engine exempt from these is the current service


engine, which, having already been certified, will retain the
original and current designation V2500-A1
V2530-A5

V25 : Generic to all V2500 engines


30 : Take off thrust in thousands of pounds

An oil filled (hydraulic) seal is used between the two
shafts, this seal is supported by 8 th stage air.

Adequate pressure drops across the seals to ensure


satisfactory sealing, are achieved by venting the
compartment, by an external tube, to the de-oiler. The
bearing compartment pressure, and therefore the sealing
flows, are controlled by a restrictor in the vent tube.

bearings.

A phonic wheel (1) is fitted to the LP stub shaft, this


interacts with speed probes to provide LP shaft speed
signals (Nl) to the EEC.

The hydraulic seal (6) prevents oil leakage from the


compartment passing rearwards between the HP and LP
shafts.

No3 bearing is hydraulically damped. The outer race is


supported by a series of spring rods (14) which allow
some slight radial movement of the bearing. The bearing
is centralised by oil pressure fed to an annulus (12)
around the bearing outer race.

Mechanical Arrangement
Bearing Compartments
No 4 (Centre) Bearing

The No 4 bearing compartment is situated in a high


temperature, high pressure environment at the centre of
the combustor section.

The bearing compartment is encased in a thermally


insulated shielding.

A supply of cooled air (buffer air) is admitted to the space


between the chamber double skinned walls.

The buffer air is exhausted from the cooling spaces close


to the upstream side of the carbon seals, creating an area
of cooler air from which the seal leakage is obtained. This
results in an acceptable temperature of the air leaking into
the bearing compartment.

Buffer air flow rates are controlled by restrictors at the


outlet from the cooling passages.
The bearing compartment internal pressure level is
determined by the area of the variable scavenge valve,
(called No 4 bearing scavenge valve and described in the
oil system). This valve acts as a variable restrictor in the
compartment vent line.
No 4 BEARING COMPARTMENT
Mechanical Arrangement

No 5 Bearing (Rear)

The rear bearing compartment is located at the centre


of the L.P. turbine module (module 50) and houses
No 5 bearing which supports the L.P. turbine rotor.

The compartment is sealed at the front end by a


carbon seal, a simple labyrinth seal provides
secondary sealing to protect against oil loss in the
event of carbon seal failure.
Separate venting is not necessary for this compartment
because with only one carbon seal the airflow induced by
the scavenge pump gives the required pressure drop
across the seal.
The compartment is covered by an insulating heat
shield.

The EEC Description
The E.E.C. has two identical electronic circuits which are
identified as Channel A and Channel B. Each channel is
supplied with identical data from the aircraft and the
engine- This data includes throttle position, aircraft digital
data, air pressures, air temperatures, exhaust gas
temperatures and rotor speeds.
This data is used by the E.E.C, to set the correct engine
rating for the flight conditions. The E.E.C. also transmits
engine performance data to the aircraft. This data is used
in cockpit display, thrust management and condition
monitoring systems.
Each of the EEC channels can exercise full control of all
engine functions.
Control alternates between Channel A and Channel B for
consecutive flights, the selection of the controlling channel
being made automatically by the E.E.C. itself.
The dual channels which are contained in the two piece
housing are separated from each other through a unique
circuit mounting board system. The two channels
exchange data through the data crosslink.

Throttle Control Lever Mechanism
The throttle control lever (Thrust Lever) is based on the "fixed
throttle" concept, there is no motorised movement of the throttle
levers.
Each throttle control lever drives dual throttle resolvers, each
resolver output is dedicated to one E.E.C. channel.
The throttle lever angle (TLA) is the input to the resolver.
The resolver output, which is fed to the E.E.C, is known as the
Throttle Resolver Angle (TRA)
The relationship between the throttle lever angle and the throttle
resolver angle is linear and:-

1 deg TLA = 1.9 deg TRA.

EEC-Fuel System Interface

Movement of the pilots throttle control lever is sensed by


the dual resolvers which signal the TRA to the EEC.

The EEC computes the fuel flow which will produce the
required thrust.

The computed fuel flow request is converted to an


electrical current (I) which drives the torque motor in the
Fuel Metering Unit (FMU) which modulates fuel servo
pressure to move the Fuel Metering Valve (FMV) and sets
the fuel flow.

Movement of the FMV is sensed by a dual resolver which


is located in the fuel metering unit next to the FMV.

The dual resolver translates the fuel metering valve


movement into an electrical feedback signal which is fed
back to the EEC.

The basic control loop is shown below.

The EPR error is converted to a rate controlled fuel flow

flow (WF actual) to produce the WF error.
The W.F. error is converted to a current I which is sent to
the FMU to drive the torque motor, this moves the FMV to
change the fuel flow. The change in fuel flow causes the
engine to accelerate/decelerate and bring about a change
in actual EPR.
This process continues until there is no EPR error.

for the operation (muscle) of a number of actuators. Any
fuel supplied by the HP pumps which is not needed for
these two uses is returned, from the FMU to the LP side of
the fuel system.
In addition to the fuel metering function the FMU also
houses the Overspeed Valve and the Pressure Raising
and Shut Off Valve. The Overspeed valve under the
control of the EEC, provides overspeed protection for the
LP (N1) and HP (N2) rotors.

Fuel System Component
Fuel Metering Unit

A simplified schematic representation of the Fuel Metering


Unit is shown below.
The three main functions of the FMU are:
1. metering the fuel supplies to the fuel spray nozzles.
2. overspeed protection for both the LP (N1) and HP
(N2) rotors.
3. isolation of fuel supplies for starting / stopping the
engine.
These three functions are carried out by three valves,
arranged in series, as shown:
• the Fuel Metering Valve (FMV).
• the Overspeed Valve (OS).
• the Pressure Raising and Shut Off Valve (PRSOV).
The position of each valve is monitored and positional
information is transmitted back to the EEC. This ensures
that the EEC always knows that the valves are in the
commanded position.

the EEC.
Signals from the EEC, cause the torque motor to change

governor and spill valve assembly.
The change in the pressure drop is sensed by the
Pressure Drop Regulator which will re-position the spill
valve and so increase/decrease the fuel flow through the
fuel metering valve until the pressure drop is restored to its
datum value.

The increase/decrease in fuel flow causes the engine to


accelerate/decelerate until the actual EPR is that
demanded by the EEC signal.

or dissipated within the tank.
Three sources of cooling are available:-
This mode is maintained if the following conditions are
• the LP fuel passing to the engine fuel system satisfied:-
• the LP fuel which is returned to the aircraft fuel tanks • engine not at high power setting (T/O and early part
• fan air of climb).
There are four basic configurations between which the • cooling spill fuel temperature less than 100 deg C.
flow paths of fuel in the engine L.P. fuel system are varied. • fuel temperature at pump inlet less than 54 deg C.
Within each configuration the cooling capacity may be
varied by control valves which form the Fuel Diverter and
Back to Tank Valve.
The transfer between modes of operation is determined by
software logic contained in the E.E.C. The logic is
generated around the limiting temperatures of the fuel and
oil within the system together with the signal from the
aircraft which permits/inhibits fuel spill to aircraft tanks.
Heat Management System
Mode 3

The second mode shown below is the mode adopted


when the requirements for fuel spill back to tank can no
longer be satisfied i.e.

engine at high power setting.


spill fuel temperature above limits (100 deg C
tank fuel temperature above limits (54 deg C)

In this condition all the heat from the engine and I.D.G. oil
systems is absorbed by the burned fuel. If however, the
fuel flow is too low to provide adequate cooling the engine
oil will be pre-cooled in the air/oil heat exchanger, by a
modulated air flow, before passing to the fuel/oil heat
exchanger.
Heat Management System

Mode 4
Mode 4 as shown below is the mode adopted when the
burned fuel flow is low i.e. at low engine speeds with a
high H.P. fuel pump inlet temperature.
In this mode the fuel/oil heat exchanger is operating as a
fuel 'cooler' and the heat passed to the engine oil is
extracted by the air/oil heat exchanger.
Heat Management System

Mode 5

Mode 5, shown below, is the mode which is used when


system conditions demand operation as in Mode 3 but this
is not permitted because:-

• the IDG oil system temperature is excessive,


or
• fuel spill to aircraft tank is not permissible because
of high spill fuel temperatures.

BSBV Actuators Description

The two BSBV actuators utilise HP fuel as a hydraulic


operating medium.

The actuators are located on the rear of the intermediate


casing on either side of the HP compressor.

Only one of the actuators, the one on the left hand side,
interfaces with the EEC. This actuator is called the Master
actuator, the RH actuator is called the Slave actuator.

The two actuators are hydraulically linked by two tubes


which pass across the top of the H.P. compressor case.
The master actuator incorporates an LVDT which
transmits actuator positional information back to the EEC.
The slave actuator incorporates two overload relief valves
which prevent overpressurisation of the actuators in the
case of faults, such as a mechanically seized actuator.

• transient
• surge/reverse
Operation of the bleed valve is scheduled against N2
corrected for changes of H.P. compressor (T2.6) inlet
temperature -known as N2C26.

Steady State
The valves are commanded open whenever N2C26 is
below the steady state closing speed.

Transient
The valves are commanded open at the beginning of
accelerations/decelerations and will close when either the
speed limits are exceeded or timers expire.

Surge/Reverse
The valves will be commanded open in the event of a
surge within the speed range shown.
In reverse thrust laws similar to the transient laws apply

to max speed the valve will be opened and
will remain open until the speed passes the transient
closing speed. If the acceleration is to a speed below the
transient closing speed the valve will remain open until the

Handling Bleed Valves - Operation
The bleed valves and the solenoid control valves all

Bleed Valves
The bleed valve is a two position valve and is either fully
open or fully closed. The bleed valve is spring loaded to
the open position and so all the bleed valves will be in the
correct position - open -for engine start.

When the engine is started the bleed air will try to close
the valve. The valve is kept in the open position by servo
air (P3) supplied from the solenoid control valve, (solenoid

General P2/T2 Probe Heating

Ice may form in the inlet cowl when the engine is operating The P2/T2 probe is continuously heated, during engine
in conditions of low temperature and high humidity. operation, by an integral 115V heating coil.

Ice build up in, and on, the inlet cowl could affect engine Rotating Fairing
performance and could cause compressor damage from
ice ingestion. To prevent ice formation anti-icing protection The rotating fairing (spinner) is protected against ice build
is provided in the following areas:- up by a solid rubber nose tip which vibrates naturally to
break up and dislodge the ice immediately it starts to form.
• the inlet cowl (thermal).
• the P2/T2 probe (thermal)
• the rotating fairing - spinner (dynamic)

Inlet Cowl Anti-Icing

The inlet cowl anti-icing system utilises air taken from the
7th compressor stage which is ducted down the R.H. side
of the engine to an anti-icing control valve located on the
rear diaphragm of the nose cowl.
From the anti-icing control valve the hot air passes to a
distribution manifold located inside the inlet cowl lip. The
used air is vented overboard through an exhaust grille on
the lower R.H. side of the inlet cowl.

Anti-Icing Control Valve Description and operation

The anti-icing control valve is a butterfly type valve located ANTI-ICING ON


in the anti-icing supply duct.
Solenoid De-energised
The valve is positioned through a mechanical linkage by a Inlet supply pressurised
piston which is operated by pneumatic pressure. The
piston is spring loaded to the valve closed position. When the solenoid is de-energised, the solenoid plunger is
extended by the spring. The pilot ball is held against the

acting on the reduced piston area, overcomes the power
Solenoid Energised spring force and moves the valve to the open position.
Inlet supply pressurised
When the solenoid is energised, the solenoid plunger is
retracted against the spring force. Inlet pressure shuttles
the pilot ball against the pilot vent seat, thus admitting inlet
pressure to chamber "A". Inlet pressure acting on the
chamber "A" side of the piston, overcomes the opposing
force of inlet pressure acting on the chamber "B" side of
the piston which has less effective area. This pneumatic
closing force, aided by the power spring force, moves the
valve to the closed position.

Speed Probes (N1)

The probes comprise two pole pieces, a permanent magnet,


and a coil wound on to one of the pole pieces. The pole pieces
span two teeth of the phonic wheel.
The phonic wheel is an integral part of the fan stubshaft and
has 60 teeth.
As the shaft rotates and the teeth of the phonic wheel pass the
pole pieces, a voltage 'pulse' is produced in the winding. The
number of pulses produced is directly proportional to the speed
of the shaft. This signal is passed to the E.E.C., processed and
is used to display N1 speed on the flight deck and also for the
engine control circuits as required.

Trim Balance Probe


The signal from this probe is only used during trim balance
operations and provides the phase relationship between any
out of balance forces present and a datum position.
The trim balance probe senses the passage of one specially
modified tooth on the phonic wheel and produces one pulse per
revolution.

within a case incorporating an air inlet and exhaust.
Compressed air enters the starter, impinges on the turbine
blades to rotate the turbine, and leaves through the air
exhaust. The reduction gear train converts the high speed,
low torque rotation of the turbine to low speed, high torque
rotation of the gear train hub. The ratchet teeth of the gear
hub engage the pawls of the output drive shaft to transmit
drive to the external gearbox, which in turn accelerates the

Starter Air Control Valve

The starter air control valve is a pneumatically operated,


electrically controlled shut-off valve positioned on the
lower right hand side of the L.P. compressor (fan) case.
The start valve controls the air flow from the starter air
duct to the starter motor. The start valve basically
comprises a butterfly type vaive housed in a cylindrical
valve body with in-line flanged end connectors, an
actuator, a solenoid valve and a pressure controller.

Manual Operation
The starter air valve can be opened/closed manually using
a 0.375 in square drive. Access is through a panel in the
R.H. fan cowl. A valve position indicator is provided on the
valve body.
A micro switch provides valve position feed back
information to the FADEC.
STARTER SHUT-OFF VALVE - INSTALLATION
Starting and Ignition System Starter
Air Valve - Operation
Valve Opening

Air from immediately upstream ot the butterfly valve is


filtered and routed through an orifice in the solenoid valve.
Air upstream of the orifice is also admitted to the smaller
piston of the double acting actuator. When the solenoid is
energised the ball valve opens to admit air to the larger
piston whilst simultaneously closing the vent port. The air
acting on the larger piston oveicomes the combined force
of upstream air pressure acting on the smaller piston and
the actuator spring. Movement of the actuator is translated
through the linkage to rotate the butterfly valve towards
the open position.
Valve Closing

When the solenoid is de-energised, at approximately 6000


rpm (43%) N2, the ball valve closes and air acting on the
larger piston is vented to atmosphere through the vent- Air
pressure and actuator spring pressure acting on the
smaller piston then closes the butterfly valve. Any loss of
air pressure will cause the butterfly valve to close under
the action of the actuator spring.

Hydraulic Actuators

Four actuators are used for each thrust reverser, two


actuators are used for each translating cowl.
• the lower actuators incorporate an integral lock
mechanism which holds the piston in the fully stowed
position.
• the upper actuators incorporate an integral Linear
Variable Directional Transformer (LVDT) to indicate
piston position, and thus translating cowl position, to

All actuators use hydraulic snubbing at the end of the
deploy stroke to slow down the actuators over the final
part of the deploy stroke. All actuators also incorporate the
necessary deploy stroke mechanical stops.
Upper Actuators

The two upper actuators are identical Line Replaceable

The two lower locking actuators are identical Line


Replaceable Units (L.R.U's) and, in conjunction with the
two upper actuators, control movement of the fan reverser
translating elements in response to hydraulic inputs from
the hydraulic control unit.
The actuators incorporate an integral lock mechanism to
hold the piston rod when the actuator is in the fully stowed
position. The lock releases on rising hydraulic pressure
when deploy is commanded via the hydraulic control unit.
The lock mechanism incorporates a manual release facility
and proximity switch for electrical lock position feedback to
the EEC.
Thrust Reverser - Description
Lower Locking Actuators - Locking Mechanism

In the stowed position (forward thrust) the stow and deploy


ports are both connected to return pressure. The piston
assembly is positively, mechanically, held in the stow
position by the claws of the tine lock.
On a deploy command from the E.E.C. the H.C.U. ports
hydraulic fluid to both the stow and deploy ports.
As the flow into the actuator rod side is not restricted, the
pressure rise in the rod side of the piston is greater than
that in the head side. The net effect is to initially move the
piston in the stow direction, which relieves the locking load
on the tine lock. As the pressure in the head side
subsequently builds up, the differential area unlock sleeve
moves forward against the lock spring preload to release
the radial restriction to tine lock movement. Thus, the lock
is released, the resultant pressure acting on both sides of
the differential area piston drives the piston and
synchronising nut through the tine lock in the deploy
sense. The release sleeve spring holds the sleeve in its
disengaged position.
Thrust Reverser - Description
Synchronisation System

The system is used to provide inter-actuator


synchronisation using flexible synchronisation cables
inside the deploy hydraulic tubing.
The system comprises:-
• One T-piece connector, to split the deploy hydraulic
pipe connection from the hydraulic control unit to each
of the upper feedback actuators.
• Two flexible tubes to carry the deploy hydraulics from
the T-piece to the upper actuators and guide the
flexible synchronising shafting running between the two
upper actuators.
• Two rigid tubes to carry the deploy hydraulics between
upper and lower actuators on each side and guide the
flexible synchronising shafting running between the
upper and lower actuators.

Thrust Reverser - Operation

The thrust reverser is shown schematically, below, in the


forward thrust (flight) position.

In this position:-
• hydraulic pressure from the aircraft system is
available as far as the control unit only
• the isolation valve is in the closed position - control
solenoids de-energised
• both sides of the actuator pistons are ported to
hydraulic return
• the thrust reverser is maintained in the forward
thrust position by mechanical locks which are an
integral part of the locking (lower) actuators
• the directional control valve is in the stow position,
control solenoids de-energised

During manual deploy operations it is necessary to draw


some hydraulic fluid from the aircraft system. This is done
by moving the non return by-pass lever, located in the
hydraulic return line, to the by-pass position as shown
below.
Access to the non-return valve is gained by removing the
pylon access panel.
On completion of the manual deploy operation the by-pass
valve must be re-positioned to the normal position and the
access panel replaced. A baulking feature on the access

Centralised Fault Display System (CFDS)

The CFDS is used to provide maintenance information


and can also be used to initiate various functional tests,
e.g. thrust reverser, ignition system, etc.
The diagram below shows how the CFDS interfaces with
the Engine Electronic Control (EEC) and the Electronic
Centralised Aircraft Monitoring System (ECAM).
Engine Systems which are controlled by the EEC are
continuously monitored by fault detection logic circuitry
(BITE), within the EEC.
When the EEC detects a fault it generates fault data which
is then transmitted to three user systems:-
• the Flight Warning Computer, which generates
ECAM displays to alert the flight crew and provide
advice on recovery / handling procedures.
• through the Central Maintenance System (CMS) to
the CFDIU.
• to its own non volatile memory Maintenance
personnel can interrogate this memory through the
CFDS to obtain more detailed fault data.
Printed copies of all fault data can be obtained from the
EEC memory, using the CFDS printer.

CFDS Failure Classification

Three classes of failures have been defined, according to:-


• how critical the failure is
• its operational impact
• the scheduled maintenance policy
The failures are categorised as:-

Class 1
These are failures which have an operational
consequence on the flight in progress.
Class 2
These are failures which do not have an operational
consequence on the flight in progress but may affect
subsequent flights - refer to Minimum Equipment List
(MEL) for functions lost.
Class 3
Failures which have no operational effect and can be left
until next scheduled maintenance check.
The failure classification is summarized below.
Note: The EEC does not transmit class three messages.

output device. An error between these two signals shows
that the output device has not gone to the commanded
position. If the error is in one channel only ;the fault is
most likely in the output device, if the fault is in both
channels it indicates either a failure or a mechanical
problem, fouling, bent control rod etc*

bleed system.
Several faults could generate the same message.
By utilising the CFDS the specific problem can be
identified and further fault data, to assist in fault diagnosis,
can be obtained.
The troubleshooting sequence is as follows:-

Fault Diagnosis (Coiit)

The clear language message obtained from the post flight


report provides the basis for further troubleshooting.
At this point reference is made to the A320
Troubleshooting Manual (TSM).
An extract from the TSM is shown below. When using the
TSM use the clear language CFDS message to locate the
correct page.
The TSM presents 3 options for the cause of this particular
fault:-

• the 2.5 bleed actuator


• a harness or connector fault
• the EEC.
Additional data, to identify which option to take, can be
obtained from the CFDS.
This data is in the form of an alpha / numeric fault code
which comprises two letters/digits e.g. D9, 35, 3C or 5F.
The procedure used to obtain the fault code is detailed,
step by step, in the following pages.

Fault Code Identification

The fault code 3C is used to provide further


troubleshooting data.
Reference to fault code lists shows that the fault code 3C
means that the 2.5 bleed actuator has failed the track
check.
This indicates a mechanical fault, the actuator has not
gone to the commanded position.
An examination of the 2.5 bleed actuator may reveal an
actuator foul or mechanical damage, if this is not the case,
change the 2.5 bleed master actuator.
Note
• Three other faults could have produced the same
clear language message, these fault codes are:-
• 5F 2.5 bleed cross check failed. To rectify this fault
change the 2.5 bleed valve master actuator
• 35 2.5 bleed torque motor wrap around failure -

Reference to the troubleshooting manual will detail the
investigation (method and sequence) to be carried out.
This can be seen below.
In our example the fault code was 3C.
The TSM details the specific harness checks to be carried
out for this fault code and also provides the locator
reference for the Aircraft Schematic Manual (ASM>, i.e.
ASM 73-25-00
The ASM provides a schematic circuit diagram which
identifies and locates the connectors, cables, etc for this
circuit.
The Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) locator reference
is also quoted i.e. AMM 71-50-00, This details the specific
harness checks to be carried out i.e. continuity checks,
visual checks, resistance checks etc and also explains
how these should be accomplished.
Should any defective circuits or damaged parts be found
the AMM will provide the locator reference for the Aircraft
Wiring Manual (AWM) i.e. 20-71-00.

FADEC Test

The FADEC system self test if carried out from the flight
deck through the MCDU using the CFDS in the MENU
mode.
The procedure is shown, step by step, below.
With regard to the FADEC self test there are two points
which must be clearly understood:-
1. if fault rectification has involved a component change
or a repair the FADEC self test alone does not satisfy
the test requirements. Additional test, some of which
involve an engine ground run, may also be required.
This is explained in more detail on the next page - see
Engine Testing After Fault Rectification.
2. if the FADEC self test shows "Test Failed", it does not
mean the fault is within the EEC. For example, part of
the FADEC self test are wraparound checks, and a
harness fault, a loose plug, for instance, could register
a "Test Failed" indication.
