SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a constant speed gas turbine engine.
It is located in the unpressurized tail cone. The APU is a self-contained
unit, which enables the aircraft to be independent of external pneumatic
and electrical power sources.
The constant-speed gas turbine engine drives the accessory gearbox and
a load compressor. The APU provides:
- electrical power for the aircraft systems,
- bleed air for engine starting (MES), air conditioning (ECS) and wing
anti ice testing on ground (not GTCP 36-300),
- bleed air for air conditioning and pressurization in flight until the
specified manufacturer limit.
The APU is designed to operate throughout the entire flight envelope.
Electrical power is available whenever the APU operates, but bleed air
is shut off above the specified manufacturer limit.
The APU has an air intake flap. The intake flap is open when the APU
master switch is selected ON and closes when the master switch is selected
OFF. When open, it provides air to the APU inlet for combustion and
pneumatic supply.

SERVICING
APU OIL SERVICING
APU oil servicing is accomplished on an "as-needed" basis or after
scheduled oil quantity checks. The oil indicating system shows if the
oil quantity is sufficient or if an oil servicing is necessary.
The oil level information is displayed on the EIS and the Multipurpose
Control & Display Units (MCDUs) in the cockpit on:
- the APU page on the lower ECAM display unit (LOW OIL LEVEL
advisory),
- the APU SERVICE DATA page on the MCDU, indicating APU
OIL Level O.K. or LOW.
NOTE: Note: The advisory appears on the ECAM APU page when
the oil level has reached the ADD mark on the APU oil tank.
Airbus recommends servicing the APU oil at the next daily
maintenance when the LOW OIL LEVEL message comes on. With
no oil leakage, sufficient oil is available to allow a further 10 hours
of APU operation.
Prior to servicing, shut down the APU and open the APU cowl doors.
Make sure to use the operator approved oil for servicing (operators
may select from the approved list). The oil may be serviced by the
U3T06191 - U0M35M0 - UM49BA000000001
gravity (most common) or pressure fill procedure (optional).

Gravity procedure:
- Open the lock and slowly loosen the oil filler cap to release remaining
pressure from the oil reservoir,
- Check sight glass for level,
- Slowly add oil until the level is at the FULL mark on the sight glass.
Pressure fill procedure:
- Check sight glass for level,
- Connect pressure and overfill lines to APU gearbox,
- Slowly pump oil into the gearbox until the level is at the FULL mark
on the sight glass.

MEL/DEACTIVATION
In case of an APU inlet actuator failure, the APU may be dispatched per
MEL with the inlet OPEN or CLOSED. The APU will only be operational
with the inlet deactivated OPEN (for a maximum of 10 days).
The air inlet actuator is equipped with a manual drive. In case of failure
the manual drive may be used to move the inlet to the required position
prior to deactivation. There are 2 different actuators that may be installed.
One requires 47 turns of the manual drive for one full travel of the inlet.
The other requires 87 turns. Access to the actuator is through an access
door near the APU inlet on the right hand side of the fuselage.
Deactivation procedure:
- get access to the actuator,
- disconnect the actuator electrical connector from the fixed connector
on the frame and install a blanking cap,
- use the manual drive to move the inlet to the required position. Use a
torque wrench to avoid damaging the actuator.
If the inlet is deactivated CLOSED, no further action is needed other than
to placard the APU inoperative. If the inlet is deactivated OPEN, the
following procedure has to be accomplished.
When the inlet is in the OPEN position, a jumper lead needs to be installed
to close the circuit and allow the APU to start. Make a dummy connector

MAINTENANCE TIPS
The APU fuel supply line is equipped with a drain and vent valve which
enables the line to be purged of air after maintenance. The drain valve is
located in the APU compartment in the fuel supply line to the fuel control.
A switch labeled FUEL VENT PUSH is installed on the APU
compartment forward firewall to allow maintenance to operate the APU
fuel pump and purge the fuel line from the APU compartment. This switch
allows the APU pump to operate and the APU Low Pressure fuel valve
to open without the APU Master Switch ON.
A drain valve adapter tool is connected to the drain valve.
On the front firewall of the APU compartment:
- Push and hold the FUEL VENT pushbutton switch. At the APU fuel
vent and drain valve, a continuous flow of fuel indicates that the APU
fuel pump is operating and the line is purged,
- Release the FUEL VENT pushbutton switch. The flow of fuel stops
when the APU fuel pump stops running,
- Disconnect the adapter tool.

fuel flow, which varies with the air inlet pressure and temperature.
LOAD COMPRESSOR CONTROL
This function opens the Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) according to the

compressor surge is achieved by controlling and reading the position
of the bleed control valve, according to the inlet temperature, and
differential and discharge pressure signals of the load compressor
(DELTA P/P ratio). If the ECB detects a surge condition, the bleed
control valve is positioned to discharge air to the exhaust.

INTRODUCTION
The Auxiliary Power International Corporation (APIC) APS-3200 APU
provides the aircraft with an independent source of pneumatic and
electrical power, which can be used during flight and ground operations.
The APU is installed in a fireproof compartment located in the aircraft
tail cone. Access for servicing and maintenance is provided by two doors.
The APU is controlled and monitored by a Full Authority Digital Engine
Control (FADEC) type Electronic Control Box (ECB). The ECB is located
on the right side of the aft cargo compartment. It transmits the APU
operational and maintenance data to the Electronic Centralized Aircraft
Monitoring (ECAM) system. The data is displayed on the ECAM display.
This is the Auxiliary Power International APS-3200 APU. It supplies the
aircraft pneumatic system with compressed air for engine starting and
air conditioning and it provides the power to drive an AC electrical
generator, which supplies the aircraft electrical buses. All of the following
component location references are clockwise from the rear looking
forward. The APU is comprised of three major assemblies and their
components. The major assemblies are:
- the power section, which includes a single stage centrifugal flow
compressor, an annular reverse flow combustion chamber, a two-stage
axial flow turbine and the exhaust case,
U3T06191 - U0M35M0 - UM49P3000000002
- the load compressor, which comprises a centrifugal compressor, a

diffuser, and a row of Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs),
- the Accessory Gearbox (AGB).
The power section drives the load compressor and the Accessory Gearbox
via a single shaft. The load compressor supplies compressed air to the
aircraft pneumatic system. The Accessory Gearbox is installed on the
front flange of the load compressor case. It is driven by a quill shaft from
the front of the load compressor. It provides support and gear reduction
power for the accessories and serves as the oil system reservoir.

GEARBOX ACCESSORIES
The APU generator is mounted near the three o'clock position on the
Accessory Gearbox. It produces 3-phase AC electrical power to supply
the aircraft electrical buses. The control and monitoring signals are
transmitted from the aircraft systems through a quick disconnected
electrical connector. The generator will be removed to improve viewing
access to the remaining accessories and components. The cooling fan
assembly is mounted at the 12 o'clock position on the Accessory Gearbox.
It contains a Permanent Magnetic Generator (PMG), which provides the
Electronic Control Box with an interrupt DC power supply and a backup
over speed protection signal. The cooling air supply duct may be removed
to provide access to the cooling fan, which may be used to turn the
rotating assembly for maintenance inspections. The starter is located at
the 10 o'clock position on the front of the Accessory Gearbox. It is
operated by a 28 volt DC power supply, which is controlled by the
Electronic Control Box. It is equipped with a brushwear indicator for
condition monitoring. The Fuel Control Unit (FCU) is installed on the
front of the Accessory Gearbox near the 9 o'clock position. It supplies
high-pressure metered fuel for combustion and servo fuel to operate the
Inlet Guide Vane actuator and the bleed control valve. The oil pump unit
is installed on the front of the Accessory Gearbox near the 8 o'clock

GEARBOX COMPONENTS
The oil level is monitored by the oil level sensor installed at the 3 o'clock
position on the right side of the Accessory Gearbox. If the oil level is
low, it will be indicated on the ECAM display during the start cycle. Two
oil filters are installed on the front of the Accessory Gearbox, the engine
oil supply filter and the generator oil scavenge filter. Both filters are
monitored by visual clog indicators and differential pressure switches.
If the pressure increases to a specific value, the ECB conducts an
automatic shutdown and transmits a maintenance message to the aircraft
centralized maintenance system. The oil system is protected from
overpressure by an oil pressure relief valve installed at the 6 o'clock
position on the front of the Accessory Gearbox. The adjacent magnetic
drain plug is used for oil system monitoring and maintenance operations.
The oil reservoir is serviced at the left side of the APU through the gravity
fill cap or through the pressure fill and overflow connectors. A sight gage
verifies the oil quantity. The oil system de-prime valve is installed at the
9 o'clock position on the Accessory Gearbox. It is opened during the start
cycle to reduce the load on the oil supply pump and during the shutdown
cycle to stop the oil flow.

OIL SYSTEM
The oil pump unit supplies oil to the oil bypass valve, which is installed
on the front of the oil cooler. If the oil is cool, it flows through the bypass
valve to the oil filter. If the oil is hot, it flows through the oil cooler to
the oil filter. The oil temperature is monitored by the High Oil
Temperature (HOT) sensor installed at the 6 o'clock position on the rear
of the Accessory Gearbox. The oil pressure is monitored by the Low Oil
Pressure (LOP) switch installed on the lower right hand side of the
Accessory Gearbox at the 3 o'clock position. The Electronic Control Box
uses temperature and pressure data for protective shutdowns during
specific operating conditions.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel supply from the aircraft is delivered to the Fuel Control Unit
(FCU) inlet. It is filtered by a fuel filter installed on the Fuel Control Unit
housing. The filter condition is monitored by a clog indicator. The fuel
flows internally through the high pressure pump to the fuel pressure
regulator and the servo valve. The pressure pump is protected by a
pressure relief valve. The fuel pressure regulator supplies servo fuel to
operate the Inlet Guide Vane actuator and the bleed control valve. The
Fuel Control Unit servo valve regulates the fuel flow to the power section.
The fuel flow is controlled by the 3-way solenoid valve. The servo valve
and the 3-way solenoid valve are controlled by the Electronic Control
Box. When the 3-way solenoid valve is opened, the metered fuel is
supplied to the fuel flow divider located at the 9 o'clock position on the
turbine case. The flow divider distributes the fuel to the two fuel
manifolds. During the initial start sequence, fuel is supplied to the three
pilot fuel injectors through the pilot injectors manifold. When the fuel
pressure increases to a specific value, fuel is supplied to the six main fuel
injectors through the main injector manifold. When the APU is running,
all of the fuel injectors are supplied with fuel. When the APU is stopped,
the residual fuel from the pilot fuel injectors and the manifold is purged
through the APU exhaust. The combustion chamber is drained through
U3T06191 - U0M35M0 - UM49P3000000002
the combustion chamber drain valve installed at the 6 o'clock position

on the combustion case. The drain valve is connected to the drain system
manifold, which drains fluids from the air bypass plenum and the actuator
and pump sealed drain areas to the drain system interface plate located
at the 5 o'clock position on the right side of the APU.

AIR SYSTEM
The air inlet plenum supplies air to the power section compressor, the
load compressor and the cooling fan. The airflow to the power section is
used for combustion. The airflow is monitored by the load compressor
inlet pressure/temperature sensor installed on the rear of the air inlet
plenum near the 3 o'clock position. The data is used for fuel metering
control and load compressor control. The airflow to the load compressor
is controlled by a row of internal Inlet Guide Vanes. The Inlet Guide
Vanes are operated by the Inlet Guide Vane actuator located at the 3
o'clock position on the load compressor case. The Inlet Guide Vane
actuator is operated by servo fuel supplied from the Fuel Control Unit
pressure regulator. It is controlled by a servo valve. The actuator is
connected to the operating rod by a quick release pin. The Inlet Guide
Vanes position is monitored by an internal linear transducer. The load
compressor discharge air pressure data is used for airflow control. The
pressure is monitored by the load compressor discharge pressure sensor
installed on the front of the air inlet plenum near the 3 o'clock position.
The air supply from the load compressor is controlled by the bleed control
valve. The butterfly-type valve is installed on the compressor outlet scroll
at the 4 o'clock position. It is operated by a fuel servo actuator. The servo
fuel is supplied from the Fuel Control Unit pressure regulator and
U3T06191 - U0M35M0 - UM49P3000000002
controlled by a servo valve. The bleed valve position is indicated by a

visual position indicator and monitored by an internal linear transducer.
The bleed control valve supplies air to the aircraft pneumatic system on
demand. When the APU is shut down, it vents the unused air to the APU
exhaust. Air from the plenum is ducted to the gearbox mounted cooling
fan. The fan supplies air to the APU compartment and to the oil cooler.

the 8 o'clock position. The high voltage capacitor and discharge unit
supplies the two igniter plugs through the igniter cables. The igniter plugs
are installed in the combustion chamber case at the 5 and 9 o'clock
positions. The ignition cycle is controlled by the Electronic Control Box.

installed in the ducting gear case at the 4 and 7 o'clock positions. The
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is measured by two thermocouple rakes
installed in the exhaust case at the 4 and 7 o'clock positions. The speed
and temperature data is monitored by the Electronic Control Box and
displayed on the ECAM display. The engine identification module is
mounted on a bracket on the left side of the air inlet plenum near the 3
o'clock position. The resistor-type module transmits the APU serial
