TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The fuel temperature sensor in the wing tank inner cell sends a
high fuel signal temperature signal 52.5 C (126.5 F).
The fuel temperature sensor in the wing tank outer cell sends a
high fuel signal temperature signal 55 C (131.0 F).

IDG SHUT-OFF SENSOR

When the IDG shut-off sensor is dry (280 Kg) the FLSCU signals
the fuel return valve to close. This stops the fuel recirculation
system, to prevent an increase in the amount of unusable fuel in
the wing-tank. The IDG shut-off sensors stop the IDG cooling
when the fuel quantity is less than 280 Kg (616lbs).

Transfer Sequence

Each center tank transfer valve is controlled independently


by its adjacent wing tank level sensors, i.e. full and
underfull. When the fuel level in one wing has decreased by
200 kg, and has therefore reached the underfull level, the
center tank transfer valve is controlled to open, and is
displayed green, in line on the ECAM. Fuel is transferred from
the center tank to the wing tank. When the full level is reached,
the transfer valve is controlled to close, and is displayed green,
cross line on the ECAM.

NOTE: This sequence can be initiated on ground depending upon


the fuel level.

The transfer sequence is terminated; the center tank transfer


valves close when the center tank low level sensors are dry
and 5 minutes time delay has elapsed.
There are four low level sensors per wing tank:
- two for 1500 kg level,
- two for 750 kg level.
When the fuel level in the wing tanks has decreased and two
1500 kg level sensors in a wing are continuously dry for 30
seconds, a MEMO message is shown.
When the fuel level still decreases and two 750 kg low-level
sensors in a wing are continuously dry for 30 seconds a low
fuel level warning is triggered, i.e. single chime, MASTER
CAUTion. When the engines are stopped, the engine identification
numbers become amber.

Inerting Systen General view: During operation the IGGS Controller Unit (ICU) controls the valve
to open, to let conditioned air from CSAS to the IGGS.
The Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) is composed of two sub- It closes in case of too low pressure and/or over-temperature air,
systems: coming from the heat exchanger.
- The Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS),
- The Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS).

The CSAS takes hot air from the bleed air system and cools down
the air
to a level compatible with the IGGS sub-system.
The CSAS is composed of:
- The Conditioned service air system Controller Unit (CCU),
which performs the system control and health monitoring
BITE and interfaces with the FWS and CFDS.
- A CSAS isolation valve, which protects the system in case of
low pressure, over pressure or over temperature,
- A heat exchanger to cool down the air.

The IGGS uses an Air Separation Module (ASM) to filter the


conditioned air stream, creating Nitrogen Enriched Air (NEA) and
Oxygen Enriched Air (OEA). The OEA is sent overboard.
The Dual Flow Shut Off Valve (DFSOV) controls the NEA flow to
the center tank and enables the system to switch between
(low/middle/high NEA flows) and isolates the IGGS from the fuel
tank.
The IGGS controller provides system control and health
monitoring/BITE. The IGGS isolation valve is a solenoid valve. It is
spring-loaded closed.

General:

The Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) includes two sub-systems:


- The Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS),
- The Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS).

The CSAS gets hot air from the Engine bleed air system and
decreases its temperature to a level compatible with the IGGS
sub-system.

The CSAS includes:


- The Conditioned service air system Controller Unit (CCU),
which does the system control and health monitoring BITE
and has interfaces with the FWS and CFDS,
- A CSAS isolation valve, which is a protection of the system if
there is low pressure, over pressure or over temperature,
- A heat exchanger to decrease the air temperature.

Conditioned Service Air System


System Description:

Engine 1 is the primary bleed source and Eng 2, through the X


Bleed valve, is the secondary bleed source.
APU or Ground Cart supply can be used for interactive test on
Ground. The CSAS gets bleed air from the Engine Bleed Air
System and does its conditioning for the IGGS.
First, the ozone converter decreases the quantity of ozone in the
bleed air to give protection to the IGGS components. Then, the air
temperature is decreased by the CSAS heat exchanger to get a
temperature of 60 C+/-6 C.

Temperature And Pressure Control

On the output duct, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor


monitor the temperature and the pressure before they go into the
IGGS.
If there is over-pressure or over-temperature, the CSAS isolation
valve closes to stop the system.

System Description:

To inert the fuel center tank and to control and monitor the IGGS, The DFSOV controls the NEA flow to the fuel tank and lets the
the IGGS includes: system change between low/mid/high NEA flow in relation to the
- one IGGS Isolation Gate Valve flight phases. The DFSOV also isolates the IGGS from the fuel
tank if an abnormal operation occurs. A Dual Flapper Check Valve
- one D-ULPA (Double ultra low particle) filter,
makes a double barrier to the possible back-flow of fuel.
- one temperature sensor,
- two pressure transmitters (inlet and outlet of the ASM),
- one oxygen sensor at the outlet of the ASM,
- one Air Separation Module (ASM),
- one Dual Flow Shut Off Valve (DFSOV),
- one dual flapper check valve,
- one IGGS Controller Unit (ICU).

Normal Operation.

The bleed air comes from the CSAS and it is filtered by the D-
ULPA filter to keep the ASM inlet clean, without hydrocarbons and
dust. Downstream of the D-ULPA filter, one temperature sensor
and one pressure sensor send air parameters to the ICU. The
ASM, which is the core of the IGGS, removes oxygen and sends
NEA to the fuel center tank. The OEA is sent overboard through
an outlet on the HPGC door. Downstream of the ASM, an oxygen
sensor measures the oxygen rate to prevent a high oxygen
concentration in the center tank. The oxygen sensor has a
pressure sensing capability when it is energized and thus it
prevents over-pressure in the center tank.

Engine Drain.
PYLON & ENGINE DRAINS
The drains from the engine and pylon exit the nacelle through two
drain masts and two drain tubes: The fan zone drain mast, the
core zone drain mast and the rear drain tubes.

The drain system provides a controlled leak path exit to the 6


o'clock position of the nacelle for hydraulic, oil and fuel systems.

Drain lines are designed to drain all excess system fluids


accumulated in both pylon, the fan and core zones. The drain
system is designed such that each drain line outlet is dedicated to
only one drain, with the exception of the core equipment drain
lines where combined drains are used. The drain masts are
removable without disconnection of the drain lines.

The C-sump & Turbine Rear Frame (TRF) drain tubes, on the rear
of the core, are respectively used for oil and water/fuel drainage.

Engine Maintenance Concept.


The LEAP-1A engine uses a preventive maintenance concept
called "on-condition maintenance".
The on-condition maintenance concept provides repetitive
inspections or tests to determine the condition of units, systems, or
portions of structure with regard to continued serviceability. This
means that the engine has no periodic overhaul schedule and can
remain installed until something important occurs, or when lifetime
limits of parts are reached.

The engine uses all modern maintenance techniques to


anticipate problems before a failure:
- borescope inspection,
- particle analysis,
- engine health condition & performance trend
monitoring,
- engine vibration monitoring,
- built-in test troubleshooting analysis.

The High Pressure Compressor (HPC) module assembly is a ten-


stage axial flow compressor and is composed of the following
parts:
· HPC rotor assembly
· Forward compressor stator and Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs)
· HPC extension case.

The HPC rotor flowpath consists of 3D-aero blisks (bladed


disks) at stages one-through-five and individual stage 6-10
blades are secured in dovetail slots of the 6-10 spool.
The 30 IGVs, at the inlet of the HPC, are used to convert air
velocity increase into a pressure rise and to direct air from the
Booster to the Stage 1 HPC Rotor Blades for the optimum
incidence angle and converts air velocity to air pressure.

The Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs) are used to direct the air to the
next higher HPC stage. The IGVs and the VSVs are mechanically
interconnected with linkage, external to the Forward Compressor
Stator Case controlled by the EEC based on HPC rotor speed and
HPC inlet temperature.
As the speed of the HPC Rotor increases, IGVs and VSVs will
open; when the speed decreases, IGVs and VSVs will tend to
close.

The other EEC unit is the “standby” or “inactive” channel.

There is one exception to the EEC units “active/standby” channel

- reduce the engine fuel flow if an overthrust is detected.

The “channel in control” adjusts the engine systems (valves,

needed to produce the thrust requested and the engine airflow
necessary for cooling.

The position feedback from the engine air valves, fuel metering

T12/T25 Sensors

The T12 sensor is located on the inlet cowl in the 12 o’clock


position, just before the engine fan case.

The T25 sensor is located in the 3 o'clock position in the fan


frame hub.

Purpose

The total air temperature (T12) sensor measures the total air
temperature at the engine inlet. T12 sensor information is sent
to the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) units and used in the
engine comtrol algorithms for engine power management.

The compressor inlet temperature (T25) sensor is a resistive


thermal device (RTD) designed to measure the total gas
temperature at the inlet of the High Pressure Compressor
(HPC). T25 sensor information is sent to the EEC units and
used in the engine control algorithms for engine power
management.

The houseing for the P12 sensor is placed in the inlet flow path
and the T12 sensor is mounted there with bolts.
The T12 sensor is connected to the Electronic Engine Control
(EEC) units through two electrical connectors (one for channel
A and one for channel B).

Operation

The T12 sensor measures the total air temperature at the engine
inlet by means of two sensing elements.
The temperature expands the sensing material, modifying its
resistance. The signal passing through the material is thus also
modified.
The T12 sensor sends two independent signals: one signal to
EEC channel A and one signal to EEC channel B.

Functional Description

The T12 sensor is a Resistive Thermal Device (RTD) that


consists of a housing with two electrically independent sensing
elements, a mounting flange, for connection, two electrical
connectors (one per channel) and a flexible cable.

Engine Control
EEC Units Functional Description

The common Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)


system includes two redundant Electronic Engine Control (EEC)
channels. Both channels are capable of controlling the engine.
The dual redundant architecture minimizes the effects of control
system faults on engine operation.

The two channels are identical and permanently operational, but


they operate independently from each other.

Each channel has a full set of sensors, interfaces with the engine
and aircraft, central processor and output drivers. They are as well
as continuously checking and processing their own inputs. The
EEC channels compare their data via a Cross Channel Data Link
(CCDL) to ensure that there are no anomalies.

The Pressure Sub-System (PSS) performs signal conversion of


the pressure inputs. It provides a common interface to the rating
plug and communicates with each EEC (channel A and
channel B) via serial data buses.
The PSS also provides a backup CCDL by communicating
cross-channel health information between both EEC units
(channel A and channel B) if the primary CCDL is lost.

Each EEC channel will determine if the EEC will be in active


status or standby status based on a comparison of its health
with the health of the cross channel.
The channel with the best health status will become the active
channel.
A hierarchy is assigned to the list of possible faults that could
lead to a channel switch.

Ignition System

General

The engine ignition system consists of two ignition exciters, two


ignition leads, two igniters, exciter shroud base and an air rubber
manifold. The ignition system is a high voltage/high energy system,
which gives the electrical spark to start the engine combustion.
There are two separate redundant ignition systems on the engine.
Each system consists of the items:

- Ignition exciter (housed in the exciter shroud box)

- Ignition lead

- Igniter.

System Description

The channel used by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) activates


the ignition system. 115V AC power for the ignition system comes
from two different AC buses. EEC channel A connects AC ESS
BUS 115V AC to the ignition exciter 1 and EEC channel B connects
AC BUS 1 or 2 (for left or right engine) 115V AC to the ignition
exciter 2.
The ignition exciters converts the 115V AC source and sends high
energy pulses through the ignition leads to the igniters.
The Ignition exciter, Ignition lead and the Igniter is cooled with VBV
Air.

Engine Air Start

General

The Engine Air Starter is an Electrical controlled and Pneumatic


operated Starter. The Starter is controlled and monitored (speed)
by the EEC in charge by a dual pressure sensor.
Pressurized air source from ground cart, auxiliary power unit, or
cross-bleed air from the opposite engine is used by the starter to
start engines
The main function of the engine starter is to convert pressurized
air to a driving torque necessary to rotate the engine core to a self-
sustained speed through combustor ignition.
The engine starting system is also used for the motoring of the
engine necessary for maintenance.

Starter Valve
The starter air valve is controlled by electrical signals from the
Electronic Engine Control (EEC) The position of the valve is
monitored by the EEC from a dual pressure SW.

The ground start sequence includes additional pre-start motoring


to avoid/minimizes potential rotor bow due to thermal differences
in the engine. The EEC modulates VSV position to maintain lower
core speed during the pre-start motoring. If the air supply pressure
goes above a certain limit during the pre-start motoring, the EEC
can hold the starter air valve to an intermediate position to limit the
engine core speed.

If the starter air valve does not respond to cockpit input, the valve
may be manually operated in order to start the engine. For a
manual starter air valve override start, only APU air may be used
to supply the pneumatic pressure for engine starting. The EEC will
automatically perform the pre-start motoring while the valve is held
open by the maintenance technician.

Cooling and Ventilation. internally passive as well as a modulated turbine system MTC.
Air flow control includes variable bleed valves, variable stator
vanes, transient bleed valve and the start bleed.
The purpose of the airflow control system is to increase stall
margin and prevent compressor surge at off-design and transient
speeds.

The active clearance control cools the high and low pressure
turbine case to accomplish minimum tip clearance between the
case and the turbine blades. This will increase efficiency and
lower fuel consumption.

The transient bleed valve increases stall margin during engine


start and transient acceleration and during deceleration. It opens
to let some air pressure out from stage 10 of the high pressure
compressor. The air is expelled into the turbine exhaust.

The start bleed/ booster anti ice valve is a combined valve taking
7th stage air from the HP compressor.
For start bleed the 7th air will be vented through a “pepper pot”
into the core area under the cowlings. It will unload the HP
compressor during start.

For Booster Anti Ice the BAI will use the 7th stage air to heat the
splitter between by-pass air and air into the low pressure (booster)
compressor.

Variable Bleed Valves


Compressed Air Flow Control

The function of the variable bleed valves VBV is to avoid surge in


the booster/ low pressure compressor and match the pressure into
the high pressure compressor at lower and transient speed.

The inputs used by the EEC for controlling the VBV´s are N1 and
N2.

The system includes two fuel operated actuators, one actuating


ring and 8 VBV doors (scoops).

The two actuators uses fuel as muscle pressure which has been
regulated by its Torque Motor TM inside the split control unit /
servo valve assembly (SCU/SVA).

The TM is electrically controlled by the EEC and the actuator


position is monitored by two single LVDT´s for feedback signal to
the EEC´s.
Both channels of the EEC receive input from one actuator LVDT,
the other one is shared through Cross Channel Data Link CCDL.

The actuators push on the actuating ring which operates the 8


VBV doors through operating rods. The VBV doors intrude into the
primary airflow and let some air out into the fan air flow through
VBV ducts.

The fail safe position of the VBV´s is fully open.

NOTE:VSV is closed in fail safe position.
At lower speeds the VSV´s will reduce the angle of attack which
gives less compression in the forward part of the high pressure
compressor. This position is also known as more closed position.

The VSV operation is also in use during transient and steady state
of the engine.
There are five rows of VSV´s. The first row is called inlet guide
vane IGV and the next four rows called variable stator vane stage
1 to 4.

The system consists of two actuators, two bell cranks, five


actuation rings and five set of pivoting VSV´s including lever arms.

The linear movement of the actuators will be converted into a


rotating motion through the bell cranks and finally the pivoting
vanes.
The two VSV actuators are operated by fuel pressure regulated
and modulating by a Torque Motor (TM) inside the Split Control
Unit/Servo Valve Assembly (SCU/SVA).

Control of the TM is performed by the EEC by use of N2, T25 and


P0 as control parameters.

Start bleed and booster anti ice system


Compressed Air Flow Control

The function of the Start Bleed/Booster Anti Ice System (SB/BAI)


is to improve start-up of the engine and to protect against ice of
the booster by 7th stage air from the high pressure compressor.

The Start Bleed/Booster Anti Ice Valve (SB/BAIV) has one inlet
and two outlets. Inside the unit there is at mechanism which direct
the 7 stage air to the two outlets depending of the function. One
will go to the flow splitter for anti-ice of the Booster function and
the other will go to the core compartment for start bleed function.

It is controlled by the EEC, actuated by fuel servo pressure from a


Torque Motor (TM) inside the SCU / SVA and is monitored by a
dual RVDT located inside the SB/BAI valve for feedback to the
EEC’s.

The valve as four positions, the fail safe position is fully open.

 For the start bleed function the valve will guide air through
the “Pepper pot device” into the core area to increase start
performance. For start bleed the flow can be 50 or 100%
open.

 Booster anti ice is controlled by the EEC and the valve can
be fully open or closed. The 7th stage air is routed through
several ducts to the flow splitter and the air is then
evacuated into the outer surface through notches.

HPT and LPT Active Clearance Control


Cooling

The active clearance control for the High Pressure and Low
Pressure Turbine will achieve minimum tip clearance between the
turbines tips and the surrounding case. This will increase
performance and lower fuel burn.

Fan air is drawn from a duct and is split up into two parts to be
metered and modulated through two butterfly valves.
The valves are separate but identical, operated by fuel muscle
pressure and modulated through its dedicated Torque Motor inside
the SCU/SVA.

The EEC in command controls the TM and position feedback is


performed by dual LVDT´s inside each fuel actuator.

The cooling airflow will vary depending on conditions and engine


parameters.

The modulated fan air from the valves will enter piccolo tubes
placed outside around the HPT and LPT area and cool the case
around the turbines.
The active clearance control system can be locked in closed
position.

NOTE: Fail safe position of the valves is closed.

In this position it will maintain safe operating condition for the


engine but will be less effective and more fuelburning.

Modulated Turbine Cooling System (MTC)


Cooling

Some of the air from 10th stage high pressure compressor


bypasses the combustion chamber and are internally directed to
the HPT stage 1 blades for cooling.
At lower rpm, when less cooling is needed, this flow will be
restricted by 2 plunger valves operated by two actuators, placed
on each side of the outer casing (2 o’clock and 8 o’clock position)
This will lower fuel consumption and limit air leaks.

The two actuators are independent but work simultaneously.

At higher speeds the flow and the cooling will increase. Maximum
cooling will be used at take-off/ climb-out and reduced cooling flow
will be used during cruise, decent/landing and ground operation.

The actuators uses fuel as operating pressure and are controlled


by the EEC´s trough one dedicated Torque Motor (TM) inside the
SCU/ SVA according to preset parameters.
Position feedback to the EEC´s is accomplished by a LVDT inside
each one of the actuators. The left actuator is connected to the
EEC channel A and the right actuator to the channel B.
The EEC Channel in use will receive the opposite actuator signal
through the cross channel data link CCDL.
The control signals are based on N1, weight on wheels, altitude
and approach.

It is not possible to lock the actuators in open or closed position for


flight according to MEL but it is possible to disconnect the actuator
from the valve and lock it in fully open position which will give max
cooling of the HPT.

NOTE: The fails safe position of the actuators is fully open.

Thrust Limit Mode


The thrust levers are used as thrust limit mode selectors.
Depending on the thrust lever position, a thrust limit mode is
selected and appears on the upper ECAM display.
If the thrust levers are set between two detent points, the upper
detent will determine the thrust limit mode.

NOTE: On the ground with the engines running the displayed N1


rate limit corresponds to the TO/GA thrust limit no matter the
thrust lever position.

On ground with engines running and if FLEX mode is selected,


FLEX N1 is displayed whenever the thrust lever position is
between IDLE and FLX/MCT.

The thrust limit modes are: Climb (CL), Flexible Take-Off or


Maximum Continuous Thrust (FLX/MCT) Take-Off Go Around
(TOGA), Reverse mode limit (MREV).

An Electric Tertiary Locking (ETL) is used as third line defense by


locking the left hand TR cowl door and through the synchronizing
system all the other actuators. It is located at the latch beam under
the left TR cowl door.

It consists of a solenoid which moves a locking hock that connects


to a roller on the TR cowl. The solenoid is powered by AC through
one connector. When the ETL is unlocked the hook releases the
roller on the TR door.

Position indicating of the ETL is performed by two proximity


sensors, one for each EEC.

The ETL can be unlocked by a deactivation lever which is used


during manual deployment of the thrust reverser doors.

Stow sequence:

Throttle levers set to stow position:

The TCU sends stow position to the EEC and the EIU, the DCU is
de-energized and the EEC energizes and opens the ICU valve.
The ICU pressurizes the stow side (rod end) of the actuators.
The EEC will limit the thrust level to forward idle until the thrust
reversers are confirmed stowed and locked.

At the end of retraction the ETL looking hook will lock the
translating sleeves by the roller of the left sleeve.

The two primary looks inside the upper actuators will look when
they reach overstow position.

Two seconds after the over stow is detected by the LVDT´s the
EEC will close the ICU valve and remove pressure from the
stow side of the actuators and the EIU will de-energize the
powering relay for the ICU and DCU.

To manual stow the reverser, ref to AMM.

Ground assisted stow sequence (GASS):

The EEC will use a ground assisted stow sequence only on


ground to lock the thrust reverser system if:

At least one of the primary locks are detected as unlocked after


the stow sequence or after engine start.

The GASS will energize the ICU and pressurize the actuators to
over stow when these criteria are fulfilled:
- Aircraft is on ground
- The throttle levers are above forward idle and below climb
detent
- No stow sequence is commanded
- Engine is running

- At least one primary lock is detected to be unlocked


- The translating sleeve is at less than 11% percent of travel
- The thrust reversers have not been inhibited by handle on the
ICU
- Fire p/b has not been pushed

The GASS is only used for one cycle, after that the system must
be reset by the master switch.
If the thrust reversers still are unlocked after a ground assisted
stow sequence the amber REV indication and REV fault

of:

· A housing with 3 mounting lugs and inlet and outlet fittings


· A piston with a poppet
· A pilot servo
· An evacuated bellow
· A visual position indication.

The eductor valve controls the Delta Pressure (DP = P outside A-


sump - P inside A-sump) of A-sumps seals (#1 and #3 bearing
carbon seals) to avoid oil leakage of the A-sump. When DP is too
low, the carbon seals do not function properly and they may leak.
In this condition, the eductor valve opens, forcing the ventilation of
the A-sump, decreasing the pressure inside the sump.
The DP comes back to a value allowing the good functioning of
the carbon seals.
