Purpose
The GTCP 331-200ER gas turbine APU supplies the
auxiliary power system with electric and pneumatic
power. This lets the airplane operate independently of
ground external power sources or the main engines.
Auxiliary power is also available in the air.
Operating Limits
The APU generator supplies 90 KVA electrical power at
any altitude. Pneumatic pressure is available up to an
altitude of 17,500 feet (5300 m). The APU can operate
at 100 or 101 percent. The APU operates at 101 percent
during these modes:
- In the air
- ECS demand
- Main engine start. (MES)
Specifications
The dimensions and weight shown do not include these
items:
- Air inlet duct
- Exhaust duct
- APU generator.

Control System
All operations of the APU are controlled and monitored
by the APU electronic control unit (ECU).
Two APU monopoles supply redundant speed (RPM) signals
to the ECU. The APU inlet pressure and temperature
sensors send signals of inlet air conditions to the
ECU. The ECU uses this information for fuel flow
schedule and surge protection. Thermocouples measure
exhaust gas temperature (EGT).
Indicating System
Operation conditions of the auxiliary power unit go to
the EICAS computers for display. EICAS shows this
information:
- APU RPM
- EGT
- Oil status messages
- Fault messages.

APU AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST
Air for the APU enters the right side of the fuselage
through the APU air intake door located below the
vertical stabilizer. Between the intake door and the
APU firewall is approximately 10’ (3 meters) of
composite air ducting leading into the air intake
plenum. Air flows from the APU air intake plenum into
the top of the APU.
APU exhaust is ducted overboard through the tail cone
of the airplane. The load compressor supplies
compressed air to the airplane pneumatic system
through the pneumatic system air supply duct.
Access to the APU air intake door actuator is through
the service access door in the lower fuselage.

The gearbox pressurization system maintains

lower altitudes), the gearbox shutoff valve
closes. Afterward, PCD1 air moves the shuttle

and compressor seal buffer air. The gearbox
pressure-regulating valve is open, venting the

When PCD2 pressure is less than 52 psi, (at

opens. Afterward, PCD2 moves the shuttle valve.
Then, PCD2 is used for cooling fan buffer air
and compressor seal buffer air. PCD2 air also
balances the gearbox pressure-regulating valve
against gearbox pressure.
Gearbox pressure increases from air leakage past
internal seals. The gearbox pressure-regulating
valve modulates to maintain gearbox pressure at

General
There are 28 radial articulated inlet guide vanes (IGV)
that regulate the airflow into the load compressor
inlet. The vanes have a fixed leading edge and a
moveable trailing edge. The vanes are supported with
sleeve bearings at both ends. They operate by
individual sector gears and a ring gear. The ring gear
is moved by the inlet guide vane actuator (IGVA). The
vanes are full open at -20 degrees angle and are full
closed at 85 degrees angle.
Failure Mode
Thermal expansion of the IGV actuator seals (not shown)
can cause the IGVs to stick and not move when commanded
by the ECU. This can cause low duct pressure, possible
start aborted, or reverse flow protective shutdown,
depending on the stuck position.

Operation
The LCIT sensor senses a hot air backflow through the
duct from surges or other pneumatic system failures and
initiates a REVERSE FLOW protective shutdown. The
pneumatic system dynamics can permit a one-time surge,
such as during a main engine start valve closure,
because of surge valve response time. The ECU lets LCIT
increase 11C in two seconds once, but not twice in a 15
second interval to prevent nuisance shutdowns due to
these dynamics. The ECU permits a maximum temperature
of 99C for 2.5 seconds and starts a shutdown at 204C.

Location
The cooling fan is in ducts downstream of the air inlet

The cooling fan is a 37-blade axial flow fan driven by
