APU INSTALLATION PRESENTATION

GENERAL

The Auxiliary Power Unit is installed in a fireproof

compartment located in the fuselage tail cone.

MOUNTS

Seven tie rods attach the APU to the stucture brackets

on the APU compartment ceiling.These tie rods also
connect to the APU three point mounted suspension
system.
Vibration insulators are installed between the APU
mount brackets and the tie rods to reduce the
transmission of aircraft vibrations and shocks to the
APU.
The insulators also prevent the transmission of
vibrations from the APU to the aircraft structure.

APU INSTALLATION PRESENTATION

AIR INTAKE FLAP

The air intake system ducts ambient air to the APU

plenum chamber.
An air intake flap cuts off the air supply when the
APU does not operate.
In case of failure, the air intake flap can be opened
or closed manually by a Manual Override Device.
A fixed diverter increases the ram air recovery for
flight operation and also prevents any fluids,flowing
along the fuselage, from entering the air intake.

AIR INTAKE DUCT

The air intake duct, which is composed of a diffuser

and elbow, provides correct airflow to the APU plenum.
The air intake duct is attached to the right access
door.

EXHAUST

The exhaust system lets the APU exhaust gas flow into
the atmosphere and muffles the noise from the exhaust.
The exhaust muffler thermal insulation protects the
aircraft structure.

APU INSTALLATION PRESENTATION

ACCESS DOORS

Two access doors allow access to the APU compartment.

The access doors on the bottom of the tailcone open
outwards to permit the APU to be inspected, lifted and
lowered.

DRAIN SYSTEM

A drain system prevents the collection of fluids in

the APU compartment.
Any fluid that may accumulate in the APU compartment
is delivered to a drain tank in the APU compartment,
which is emptied through a drain mast when the aircraft
is above 200 KTS.

IGNITION CONTROL

The ignition system provides initial light-off of the

The ignition system includes an ignition box, which
powers an ignition plug.
During starting, the ECB switches on the ignition
between 7% and 60%.
When the APU speed is below 95% due to flame out, the
ECB triggers the ignition unit to recover the APU speed
to 100%.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION

Fuel distribution is assumed by 2 fuel manifolds and

10 dual fuel-nozzles. Each fuel-nozzles has a primary
and a secondary fuel orifice.
When APU start is selected, the primary fuel orifice
is supplied and when the fuel pressure is greater than

opens to supply the secondary fuel orifice.
During normal running, the two orifices are supplied.

OIL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

PROTECTION

The Electronic Control Box protects the APU in case

of oil system malfunction. The ECB monitors oil
pressure and oil temperature.
If one of the oil parameters is out of range, the
Electronic Control Box initiates an automatic APU shut
down without time delay.
- Gearbox high oil temp threshold: 162.77°C,
- AC generator high oil temp: 180°C,
- Oil low pressure: 33 PSI.

MONITORING

The oil system is monitored to increase the APU life.

The oil sump is equipped with a low level sensor to
display maintenance information in the cockpit. When
the level is at the "ADD" mark (4.60 l/1.22 US gal)
the APU must be able to continue running for at least
60 hours (depending on the different operating
attitudes of the A/C in flight).
A magnetic drain plug, immersed in the APU oil, enables
the oil drainage from the sump and attracts ferrous
metal particules.
Two delta P switches (one for the scavenge filter and
a second for the pressure filter) inform the CFDS about
a clogging situation (Class 3 fault message).
