AIR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION (2)

TRANSIENT BLEED VALVE (TBV)
The Transient Bleed Valve (TBV) system improves the HPC stall margin
during engine starting and rapid transient (acceleration and deceleration).
Using engine input parameters, the ECU logic calculates when to open
or close the TBV to duct HPC 9th stage bleed air, in order to give optimum
stability for transient mode operations.
The 9th stage bleed air is ducted to the LPT stage 1 nozzle, providing an
efficient start stall margin.
The ECU, working through the HMU, controls the TBV position.
The TBV system consists of:
- The TBV, located on the HPC case, between the 7 and 8 o'clock
positions.
- The 9th stage air IN and OUT pipes.
The valve position is monitored by the ECU, through a dual channel
LVDT. The LVDT supplies the feedback signal, which agrees with the
butterfly position.
