Power Plant
The air intakes are an integral part of each lower forward nacelle
cowl and each provide a ram air duct to the engine compressor inlet
and to the engine oil cooler of the associated power plant. The ram
air duct extends from the inlet lip at the front of the cowl rearward to
the lower nacelle panel, which houses the engine oil cooler.
The duct is formed by front and rear cone shaped structures. The
front cone inner surfaces form a plenum chamber and the rear of
the cone forms a diffuser. The cone acts as an aerodynamic (iner−
tial) intake to separate solids from the ram air flow.
Ram air entering the cowl inlet lip is deflected by the inner surface
of the front cone to form a circular airflow in the plenum. The air is
drawn up to the compressor air inlet and expands outward and rear−
ward to the oil cooler, passing over the outer surface of the rear
cone. Airflow through the cooler is controlled by a temperature con−
trolled door.
Solids in the ram air flow are thrown outwards and downwards to
enter the inside of the rear cone. Solids collected in the rear cone
can be dumped overboard by means of an electrically−operated
bypass door which is opened and closed by manual selection.
The area between the propeller spinner and the cowl is deiced by
the airframe deicing system. The inlet lip is heated electrically when
the bypass door is open.

OPERATION
At engine starting the engine−driven fuel pump draws fuel from the
appropriate wing tank, through the fuel feed line and a 74 micron fil−
ter of the fuel heater and filter assembly. Initially, with the fuel sup−
ply from the HMU shut off during motoring, the pump output is by
passed and the related No.1 or No. 2 ENG FUEL PRESS caution
light is on, sensed by the fuel low pressure switch.
The output of the boost ejector pump augments the existing engine
fuel feed supply and the fuel pressure caution light goes out. In the
event of low fuel pressure downstream of the fuel heater/filter, the
fuel pressure caution light stays on. The AC powered auxiliary
pump for the particular tank can be started by manual selection.
The 74 micron filter is equipped with a differential pressure detector;
in the event of filter impending blockage, the detector is actuated
and a red flag is indicated for the appropriate engine on the engine
condition panel.
