EXHAUST
DESCRIPTION
Purpose
The exhaust system releases the APU exhaust gas to the ambient air. The
exhaust gas contains the combustion gases and the load compressor
surgeair. The exhaust system also decreases the exhaust noise level, most of
the noise comes from the outlet of the APU exhaust diffuser (the flange of the
turbine heat shield).
Installation
The system is installed in the exhaust muffler compartment together with the
rear access fairing.
The exhaust muffler goes through the rear firewall of the APU compartment. It
has a thermal insulation to protect the structure of the exhaust
mufflercompartment and the rear access fairing.
The exhaust coupling makes a flexible connection to the turbine heat shield
and the exhaust muffler.
Construction
A firewall seal seals the space between the exhaust and the rear firewall.
Access
To get access to the exhaust system, you can open the rear access fairing
317AL and the APU access doors 315AL and 316AR.

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
General
The Intake Flap Actuator is a 28 VDC Linear Actuator with a Thermal
Overload Switch and integrated Brake.
The ECB 59KD supplies the necessary electrical power for the operation to the
air intake flapactuator 516KB. The two limit switches and the two position
switches control the position of the air intake flapactuator.
Operation
FLAP OPEN COMMAND
When you push the MASTER SW P/BSW 14KD to the on position on the
overhead panel 215VU, the ECB [59KD] is energized and supplies 28 VDC
electrical power to the DC motor of the flap actuator which operates and moves
the air intake flap to the open position. The ECB receives the following signals
from the actuator:
S Air Intake Flap Open
S Air Intake Flap Closed
S Air Intake Flap Movement
FLAP CLOSE COMMAND
The ECB controls the air intake flap actuator to extend (close the flap) when:
S the APU did not operate and you push the APU MASTER SW P/BSW 14KD
on the overhead panel 215VU to the reset position
S the APU speed N decreases to less than 7 % during the APU shutdown
sequence
S an APU auto shutdown sequence or an APU emergency shutdown is
initiated by the ECB
S An ASD (Auto Shut Down) is caused with running APU (N > 7%) and
Inlet Flap not fully open.
Indicating
S FLAP OPEN is indicated in green lettering on the
ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) APU System Display
when the ECB receives a 28 VDC FLAP OPEN signal from the retracted
position switch on the flap actuator.
S When the ECB receives a FLAP NOT OPEN ground signal from the
Retracted Position Switch on the flap actuator, it transmits no flap signal to
the EIS. In this case there is no flap position indication on the APU system
page.
S When the ECB finds a flap actuator fault during the APU start sequence, it
starts the APU ASD (Auto Shut-Down) sequence and you will get the
subsequent indications in the cockpit.
S On the APU MASTER SW P/BSW 14KD on the overhead panel 215VU the
amber FAULT light comes on
S On the APU START P/BSW 2KA on the overhead panel 215VU the blue
ON light goes off.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The subsequent components make the oil distribution system:
S Oil Pump Module
S The Oil Cooler
S Oil Filters
Oil Pump Module
The Oil Pump Module removes the oil from the oil reservoir by suction. It
regulates the oil pressure and supplies the temperature regulated and filtered
oil to the lubrication points of the:
S Engine
S Load compressor
S Accessory Drive Gearbox
S APU Generator
The Oil Pump Module removes the oil by suction (the scavenged oil) from the:
S Mid Sump
S Aft Sump
S APU Generator
During cold weather starting conditions, the ECB will automatically open the
De-Oiling Solenoid Valve to reduce starter motor and lube pump load caused
by cold oil.
The scavenged oil from the Mid Sump and the Aft Sump is returned to the oil
reservoir. The generator scavenge oil is supplied to the Starter Clutch Sprags.
The oil which lubricates the gears and bearings of the gearbox, is returned to
the reservoir by gravity.
Oil Filters
The distribution system has two oil filters:
S Lubrication Oil Filter
S Generator Scavenge Oil Filter
The filters remove unwanted materials from the oil. The Lubrication Oil Filter
cleans all the lubrication oil before it is supplied to the lubrication points.
The Generator Scavenge Oil Filter cleans unwanted materials from the
generator scavenge oil. This makes sure that no contaminated oil returns from
the Generator to the oil reservoir and the Starter Clutch Sprags are lubricated
during the APU shutdown.
Distribution System Monitoring
The ECB monitors the lubrication oil temperature and pressure. A HighOil
Temperature Sensor measures the temperature of the oil and transmits an
analog signal to the ECB. If the oil temperature is too high, the ECB starts an
APU automatic shutdown (if it is not inhibited).
A LowOil Pressure Switch monitors the regulated oil pressure. When the Low
OilPressure Switch finds that the oil pressure is too low, it transmits a discrete
signal to the ECB which will perform an APU automatic shutdown (if it is not
inhibited.
A Generator OilTemperature Sensor is installed on the APU generator. It
measures the oil temperature at the generator oil outlet and transmits it to the
ECB. When the generator return oil is too hot, it starts an APU automatic
shutdown (if it is not inhibited).
Oil Cooler
The Oil Cooler is mounted on the left air inlet plenum. It is an Oil/Air Heat
Exchanger which receives the cooling air from the Cooling Fan (Ref.4952) to
decrease the temperature of the oil.
A thermal bypass valve installed at the oil cooler inlet prevents cold oil from
passing the Heat Exchanger or bypasses oil When the Oil Cooler is blocked.

OIL SERVICING
Precautions
WARNING:
General
Reservoir oil servicing is possible by gravity fill or with a pressure fill device. On
the left side of the gearbox the subsequent ports are installed:
S Gravity Fill Port
S Pressure Fill Port
S Pressure Fill Overflow Port
The gravity fill port has an oil sight glass and an oil scupper. The scupper
prevents that oil flows on to the APU and into the APU compartment during the
gravity oil fill.
Policy
You can read the oil level on the Oil Sight Glass. It must be between the FULL
and the ADD mark. The oil quantity at the FULL mark is 7.3 l, at the ADD mark
4.1 l. The difference between the two marks is 3.2 l.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
OIL PUMP MODULE
General
The Oil Pump Module is mounted on the front side of the accessory drive gear
box and driven by the AGB. The module consists of:
S Three Lubrication Elements
S Two Generator Scavenge Elements
S One Aft Sump Scavenge Element
S One Mid Sump Scavenge Element
S Pressure Relief Valve
S Pressure Regulator Valve
S DeOiling Solenoid Valve
S Lubrication Filter
S Generator Scavenge Filter
Lubrication & Scavenge Elements
The 3 lubrication elements are identical and work in parallel. Thus it is not
necessary to pressurize the gearbox at high altitudes to make sure that the
supply of lubrication oil is sufficient.
The 2 generator scavenge elements are identical and work in parallel. Thus the
oil which lubricates and cools the APU generator is scavenged accurately.
The aft sump scavengeelement and the mid sump scavengeelement supply
the scavenged oil directly to the oil reservoir.
Oil Pressure Relief & Pressure Regulating Valve
The Oil Pressure Relief Valve is of the poppet and seat type. It is installed in
parallel to the lubrication items and opens at a pressure difference of 200 psi.
The Oil Pressure Regulating Valve is of the spool and sleeve type. It is installed
in parallel to the lubrication elements and controls the oil pressure to 65 5 psi.

Oil Filters
Both, the Lubrication Oil Filter and the Generator Scavenge Oil Filter are
equipped with a magnetic type differential pressure indicator. It gives you a
visual indication when the filter element is clogged. When the pressure
difference across the element is 33 5 psi a red indicator extends out of the
indicator housing. It is magnetically locked out and remains in this position
even when the oil pressure decreases at APU shutdown. To reset the indicator
pin you push it manually into the housing.
A thermal lockout device stops the clogging indicator operation until the oil
temperature is more than 37.7 C. This avoids an irregular clogging indication
caused by the higher viscosity of cold oil.
The Lubrication Oil Filter has a Filter Bypass Valve which opens when the filter
element is fully clogged. Then the oil does not flow through the filter element,
but the APU receives lubrication oil further on.
The Generator Scavenge Oil Filter has a Pressure Relief Valve which opens
when the filter element is fully clogged. The generator scavenge oil then flows
to the oil cooler inlet line. Thus the generator scavenge oil is cooled and then
cleaned by the Lubrication Oil Filter.

DEOILING SYSTEM OPERATION
Low Oil Temperature Sensor
The low oiltemperature sensor is installed on the gearbox housing and
measures the temperature in the oil reservoir. The temperature signal is
transmitted to the ECB. When the ECB receives the start signal from the
START P/BSW 2KA in the cockpit and finds that the oil temperature is less
than 6.7 C or the altitude is above 31000 ft, it energizes the DeOiling
Solenoid and the normally closed DeOiling Valve opens.
Oil from the oil pump outlet (to the oil cooler) returns to the pump inlet and
mixes with the inlet oil, the pump outlet is depressurized. This reduces the
load of the oil pump module and thus also for the APU starter motor which is
caused by the high viscosity of the cold oil. The ECB deenergizes the
DeOiling Solenoid after the APU reaches 60% speed (65% speed in case of
high altitude).
The ECB also carries out deoiling at every APU shutdown between 95% and
7% APU speed. This makes sure that the scavenge elements of the oil pump
can remove the oil from the sumps during the shutdown. This also reduces the
load of the starter motor at the subsequent APU start.
DeOiling Solenoid Valve
The DeOiling Solenoid Valve is mounted at the Oil Pump Module which is
normally spring loaded closed. It is a solenoid operated poppet valve and is
operated from the ECB under the following conditions:
S APU Start when Oil Temperature <6.6 _C and speed rising up to 60% N
S APU ShutDown and 95% < N > 7%

OIL INDICATING
DESCRIPTION
General
The Oil Indicating System monitors the oil quantity in the oil reservoir and gives
respective indication on the APU System Display in static condition, i.e. when
the APU does not operate.
Low Oil Quantity Switch
The primary component within the Oil Indicating System is the Low Oil Quantity
Switch. It is installed at the bottom of the housing of the accessory drive
gearbox. The switch stays up into the oil in the integral oil reservoir and
transmits the low oilquantity signal to the ECB, if the oil quantity is at or below
the set minimum of 4.1 l. The set minimum agrees with the ADD mark on the
oil sight glass on the gravity oil fillport.
When the ECB receives a lowoil quantity signal from the low switch, it
transmits the signal to the:
S EIS (Electronic Instrument System)
S CMS (Central Maintenance System
You can read the oil quantity information on the EIS SD (System Display) and
the MCDUs (Multipurpose Control & Display Units) in the cockpit on the:

LOW OIL QUANTITY SWITCH
Construction
The LowOil Quantity Switch has an aluminum body. It holds:
S an Electrical Connector
S a tube with a Float Assembly and Permanent Magnets
S the two DualReed Switches
In the lower part of the tube the two dualreed switches are installed. There is
also a welded aluminum float inside the tube on which an alnico V-magnet is
installed. It is a permanent magnet.
The float is immersed in the oil. When the oil quantity is at the permitted
minimum, the magnet of the float opens the two dualreed switches. The
dualreed switches are redundant. They are connected in parallel and make an
OR-gate.
Operation
When the oil quantity in the reservoir decreases to 4.1 l, the magnet on the
float opens the two dualreed switches. The ECB receives the discrete open
signals. A signal from one of the two dualreed switches is sufficient for the
ECB to operate.
Control
The ECB transmits the lowoil quantity signal to the EIS and the CMS when
the subsequent signals are given:
S LowOil Quantity Signal and
S Oil Temperature is less than 65.55 C and
S Aircraft on Ground
Indicating
On the APU Page on the EIS System Display
There is no oil level advisorymessage on the APU page of the SD, if the oil
level in the APU oil reservoir is more than the set minimum. You can read the
LOW OIL LEVEL advisory message if the oil level in the APU oil reservoir
decreased to the set minimum or below this level. The LOW OIL LEVEL
advisory message is pulsing green.
On APU Service Data Page
You can read an OIL LEVEL O.K. indication, if the oil level in the APU oil
reservoir is more than the set minimum.
You can read an OIL LEVEL LOW indication, if the oil level in the APU oil
reservoir decreased to the set minimum or below this level.

SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL
The LOP (Low Oil Pressure) and HOT (High Oil Temperature) Warning System
has the subsequent primary components:
S High Oil Temperature Sensor (HOT SNSR)
S Low Oil Pressure Switch (LOP SW)
The HOT SNSR and the LOP SW are installed downstream of the oil cooler
and the oil pressure regulation valve. They are installed in a manifold which is a
part of the line to the mid and the aft sump.
HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Construction
The HOT SNSR is a RTD (Resistive Temperature Device). It is a nickelwire
thermalresistant element which can operate in the subsequent temperature
range from 53.9 C to +250 C). This makes an input operating range for the
ECB of 73 to 200 ohms.
The sensor has a stainless steel body with a copper tip which protects the
electrical components against oil, water and moisture.
Operation
The HOT SNSR measures the oil temperature downstream of the oil cooler. It
transmits the analog oil temperature signal to the ECB. This starts the APU
automatic shutdownsequence (if it is not inhibited) when:
S Oil Temperature >147.2 C for 10 seconds and
S APU Speed >95 %
Monitoring
The sensor is monitored during PUT and Selftest. If the sensor faulty, it will be
stored as a CLASS-3 failure with a CMC message:
HIGH OIL TEMP SNSR (59KT11).

INTRODUCTION
COMP
Purpose
The Engine Fuel and Control System supplies metered fuel to the combustor.
The metered fuel is the quantity, which is mandatory for the safe and the
economic operation of the APU. The fuel quantity supplied is in proportion to
the APU load during governed operation.
General
The engine fuel and control system receives the low pressure fuel from the A/C
fuel system through the APU fuel feed line. The APU fuel feed line is installed
to the trim tank line.
The main components of the Fuel System are the:
S FCU (Fuel Control Unit)
S Fuel Flow Divider Assembly
The ECB computes the fuel/air ratio, corresponding to the APU load. The FCU
meters the fuel. It does this in the direct proportion to the command signal
transmitted from the ECB. The metered fuel is filtered highpressure fuel.
The Fuel Flow Divider Assembly receives the metered fuel from the FCU. It
divides the fuel and supplies it to the Fuel Manifolds in the correct sequence.
Fuel pressure is also used as muscle pressure to operate the Load
Compressor IGV (Inlet Guide Vane) actuator and the SCV (Surge Control
Valve) actuator.

FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The FCU (Fuel Control Unit) is the primary component of the Fuel Control
System. It is attached to the Oil Pump Module by a V-clamp. The FCU meters
the necessary fuel to the combustion chamber and supplies regulated fuel
pressure internally to the FMV (Fuel Metering Valve), and externally to the
IGVs (Inlet Guide Vanes) and SCV (Surge Control Valve) actuators.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The Fuel Control Unit supplies the correct quantity of fuel to the APU fuel
distribution system. The fuel flows through the distribution system to the
combustion chamber where it mixes with the air and burns.
The fuel distribution system also has an ecology drain system. The ecology
drain system makes sure that the fuel is removed from the fuel atomizers and
manifolds during the APU shutdown. The drain fuel is burned in the combustion
chamber.
System Layout
The fuel distribution system consists of the subsequent primary components:
S Primary and Secondary Fuel Manifold and Nozzles
S Flow Divider Assembly
S Ecology Drain System
S Fuel Temperature Sensor
S Fuel Flow Meter
Fuel Manifold and Nozzles
The Fuel Manifold is located around the turbine plenum. It is divided into a
Primary and a Secondary Fuel Supply, both connected to each of the 12 Dual
Orifice Fuel Nozzles. The fuel flows through the primary and secondary fuel
manifolds from the flow divider Assembly to the Fuel Nozzles. The fuel
manifold ensures an even fuel distribution to the nozzles.

Flow Divider Assembly
The Flow Divider Assembly is supplied with fuel coming from the FCU which
controls the fuel quantity. The Flow Divider Assembly splits the fuel into primary
and secondary fuel and supplies it to the fuel manifolds.
The secondary sequencing valve permits or stops the flow of fuel to the
secondary flow path of the flow divider. The valve is springloaded closed until
the flow of fuel has the maximum quantity of primary fuel which the Fuel
Nozzles can atomize accurately. This makes sure that the fuel/air mixture is
correct in the combustion chamber during the start sequence.
Ecology Drain System
When the APU is stopped and no fuel is supplied, the fuel inlets of the Primary
and Secondary Drain Valves are springloaded closed. Their drain air inlets are
open and thus the drain air line is connected to the fuel manifolds. Compressor
discharge air which is stored in the Air Tube enters the Fuel Manifolds when
the Ecology Drain Solenoid Valve is commanded open by the ECB. Thus
remaining fuel is blown out of the Fuel Nozzles.
Fuel Temperature Sensor and Fuel Flow Meter
The Fuel Temperature Sensor measures the fuel temperature and transmits an
analog fuel temperaturesignal to the ECB. The Fuel Flow Meter measures the
quantity of the fuel which flows through the primary line of the flow divider
assembly. It transmits an analog fuel flow quantitysignal to the ECB. These
two signals make the closed loop for the ECB which uses them to calculate the
accurate fuel quantity necessary for the APU start sequence.

FUEL SYSTEM OPERATION
General
The ECB acts on the fuel system according to two different schedules:
S Acceleration Schedule during Starting
S Speed Maintain Schedule during OnSpeed Operation
Acceleration Schedule
The Fuel Temperature Sensor and the Fuel Flow Meter which measures the
quantity of the fuel which flows through the primary line of the Flow Divider
Assembly transmit analog signals to the ECB. These two signals make the
closed loop for the ECB which uses them to calculate the start fuel quantity.
During APU starting sequence, when the APU shaft speed (N) is above 7%,
the ECB energizes the Fuel Solenoid ShutOff Valve. Then it supplies the FMV
torque motor to provide the correct amount of fuel to comply with the ECB
smooth acceleration schedule according to:
S Inlet Temperature (T2)
S Inlet Pressure (P2)
S Fuel Temperature
As the FMV operates, fuel pressure opens the Pressurizing ShutOff Valve
against spring force. Because of the low fuel flow during the start of the APU,
the Secondary Sequencing Valve of the Flow Divider Assembly is
springloaded closed. The Primary Drain Valve opens the fuel inlet and closes
the Ecology Drain Air Inlet when the fuel pressure is approximately 5 psi. The
fuel flows into the Primary Fuel Manifold only, which supplies it to the Primary
Fuel Nozzles. After fuel ignition, the APU shaft accelerates, increasing HP-fuel
delivered pressure. At approximately 125 psi fuel pressure downstream of the
FMV, the Secondary Sequence Valve opens, allowing the Secondary Fuel
Manifold to be supplied. The ECB continues to supply the FMV torque motor in
order to reach 100 % N speed.
During all this acceleration process, the FMV LVDT feedback provides the
necessary information for the fuel closed loop control to the ECB. EGT
(Exhaust Gas Temperature) is used during starting to limit the fuel schedule to
prevent EGT exceedance. This EGT protection overrides the acceleration
schedule.

Differential Pressure Regulation-Valve
The FCU contains a springcontrolled Differential Pressure RegulationValve.
It operates with the FuelControl Torque Motor and the Pressurizing Valve.
The highpressure gear pump supplies always more fuel than necessary for
the operation of the APU, this makes sure that sufficient fuel is available under
all operation conditions.
The Differential Pressure RegulationValve permits the excessive fuel, which is
more than the limit, to return to the inlet of the FCU inlet fuelfilter. To control
the fuel flow, the regulation valve compares the fuel pressure upstream and
downstream of the Torque Motor MeteringValve. It keeps the pressure of the
fuel which flows through the metering valve (independently from the fuel
quantity) constantly at 50 5 psi.
Because of the increase of the fuel pressure in the highpressure gear pump,
the temperature of the fuel increases. The quantity of the warm fuel which
flows back to the inlet of the FCU inlet fuelfilter is sufficient to prevent the
formation of ice in the filter and the FCU inlet.
Actuator Pressure Regulation-Valve
The Actuator Pressure RegulationValve is a springloaded regulation valve. It
controls the outlet pressure of the fuel which is used to power the IGV actuator
and the SCV actuator. The valve keeps the pressure at 325 25 psi, thus the
actuators operate with constant force and speed.

LOW PRESSURE FUEL WARNING OPERATION
General
The APU Fuel LowPressure Warning System shows a warning on the
EIS (Electronic Instrument System) SD (System Display) when the fuel at the
FCU (Fuel Control Unit) has a low pressure. This is controlled from the
FuelLow Pressure Switch. The ECB and the FCMC (Fuel Control and
Monitoring Computer) monitor the signals from the FuelLow Pressure Switch.
If a low fuel pressure occurs an ARINC bus transmits the signal from the the
ECB to the EIS.
Power Supply
When the Fuel LowPressure Switch is closed it supplies a ground signal to
the FCMC and the ECB. The ECB supplies through an 429 ARINC bus a low
fuel pressure signal to the EIS. If the fuel low pressure signal is not available
the switch supplies a 28 V DC signal to the FCMC and the ECB.
Operation and Indicating
When the APU fuel pressure increase to 19.5 8.7 psi the FuelLow Pressure
Switch opens and transfers a signal to the ECB. The ECB transmits the signal
to EIS, this removes the indication FUEL LO PR from the EIS SD. The ECB
also stops the signal to the aft fuel feedpump.

INTRODUCTION
Bleed and Surge-Air System
The Bleed and SurgeAir System controls the supply of the APU bleed air to
the pneumatic system of the aircraft and prevents a load compressor surge
The Bleed-Air System delivers compressed air from the APU Load Compressor
for:
S MES (Main Engine Start)
S Air Conditioning
The APU bleed air system includes a Bleed Valve, a flow regulation by means
of Inlet Guide Vanes and surge protection by means of a SCV (Surge Control
Valve).
The Electronic Control Box ensures control and monitoring of these
components. The bleed and surgeair system controls the supply of the APU
bleed air to the pneumatic system of the aircraft and prevents a load
compressor surge
Accessory Cooling System
An Accessory Cooling System supplies cooling air to the APU Oil Cooler and to
the APU compartment. This is achieved by a Fan which supplies ambient air
into the APU compartment. An Accessory Cooling Valve determines the
amount of compartment cooling air.
The system operates independently of the APU Load Compressor and the
Bleed and Surgeair system.

DESCRIPTION
General
The APU Load Compressor supplies the APU bleed air. The quantity changes
with the different bleed air demands of the aircraft pneumatic systems. Variable
IGVs (Inlet Guide Vanes) which are installed at the load compressor inlet
control the quantity of the bleed air. The IGVs are operated by an IGV-Actuator
controlled from the ECB. The ECB receives position feedback information from
a Actuator-LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transducer).
The bleed and surge air system has the subsequent primary components:
S Inlet Guide Vane Actuator
S Bleed Flow Sensor
S APU Load Bleed Valve
S Surge Control Valve

Bleed Air System
The bleed air flows from the scroll of the APU Load Compressor to the
Teeduct which is installed on the right side of the APU. The APU Load Bleed
Valve is installed at the forward end end of the pneumatic Teeduct on the right
hand side of the APU. The Load Bleed Valve stops or permits the bleed air flow
from the APU to the pneumatic system of the aircraft. The Load Bleed Valve is
operated pneumatically by compressor discharge air from Power Compressor
Stage 2.
The ECB controls and monitors the APU Load Bleed Valve position. The APU
bleed signal comes from the APU BLEED P/BSW on the air overhead panel
225VU in the cockpit. When the ECB receives the APU bleed signal it transmits
an open signal to the APU bleed valve depending on flight altitude information
from the P2 Sensor and aircraft pneumatic bleed status. The P2Sensor is
attached to the left hand side of the Inlet Plenum.
The Load Bleed Valve has a position indicator switch. This transmits discrete
open or not open signals to the ECB for the valve position monitoring and
indication. The valve position is also visible on the visual position indicator on
the shaft end of the valve.

Bleed Air Flow Control
The APU bleed air flow depends on two basic demand parameters:
S MES (Main Engine Start)
S ECS (Environmental Control System)
An IGV actuator is installed in a right angle position to the IGV assembly
geartrain on a mount pad of the load compressor scroll at 6 oclock position. It
is driven by high pressure fuel from the FCU (Fuel Control Unit) and moves the
IGV assembly geartrain directly through a pushrod.
For each demand the ECB determines a certain IGV Actuator position to
satisfy the requested bleed air flow.
A Bleed Flow Assembly which contains a Differential Pressure and a Total
Pressure Transducer sends Feedback information about the actual bleed air
flow to the ECB. The ECB uses this signals to adjust the Surge Control Valve if
there is a deviation from the calculated bleed air flow in relation to the actual
bleed air flow.

excess bleed air to avoid a load compressor surge. The surge air flows to the
APU exhaust cone.
The Surge Control Valve is a hydraulically operated modulating butterfly valve.
It uses high pressure fuel supplied from the Fuel Control Unit as the hydraulic
power source. The ECB controls and monitors the position of the surge control
valve by means of a SCV-LVDT.

Bleed Air Flow Control
For every APU bleed demand (MES or ECS) the ECB calculates a certain IGV
position and a resulting pressure ratio (dP/Pt).
The ECB receives feedback information from the Bleed Flow Assembly
concerning the actual bleed air flow at the Load Compressor outlet. If there is a
deviation between the commanded and the actual pressure ratio, the ECB will
send a command signal to the SCV torque motor in order to adjust the bleed
air flow. Thus the Surge Control Valve opens or closes to regulate the amount
of the airflow to the aircraft.

ACCESSORY COOLING
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Cooling Airflow
The accessory cooling system operates independently of the APU load
compressor and the bleed and surgeair system.
A Cooling Fan supplies sufficient cooling air to the oil cooler to keep the
lubricating oil in the correct temperature range. It also supplies cooling air to
the APU compartment to remove the heat which comes from the APU surface.
The Cooling Fan Assembly is of the onestage axialflow type and the
accessory drive gearbox turns the cooling fan rotor.
The compartment cooling air flows through an outlet and through the
Compartment Cooling Valve into the APU compartment.
Compartment Cooling Valve
The Compartment Cooling Valve decreases the cooling air outflow to the APU
compartment. The valve operation depends on PCD-1 air pressure and thus on
flight altitude.
The Compartment Cooling Valve is opened until a flight altitude of 10000 ft.
Above this altitude, the valve starts to close and will be fully closed at a flight
altitude of 20000 ft due to low PCD-1 air pressure. Compartment cooling airflow
is the only achieved by cooling airflow through the fixed orifice outlet.

INDICATING
INTRODUCTION
General
The indicating system monitors the APU speed and the EGT (Exhaust Gas
Temperature). You can also see on the MCDU (Multipurpose Control & Display
Unit) the unserviceable LRUs and test results for the APU system.
Power Indicating
The power indicating system monitors the APU speed in revolutions per minute
(rpm). Two speed sensors transmit a signal to the ECB 59KD. The ECB gives
a speed signal to the EIS (Electronic Instrument System). The EIS shows the
APU speed in percent on the APU system page at the SD (System Display).
Temperature Indicating
The temperature indicating system monitors the Exhaust Gas Temperature of
the Auxiliary Power Unit. Two rakes, each with two thermocouples, transmit a
signal to the ECB. The ECB gives an EGT signal to the Electronic Instrument
System (EIS). The EIS shows on the APU page at the System Display (SD)
the APU EGT in C.
Analyzers
The BITE (BuiltIn Test Equipment) of the ECB analyses the fault data of the
APU. The ECB has logics for statistics used for health monitoring and life data
of the APU. The ECB analyses data about the APU life and the APU faults.
The DMM (Data Memory Module) also keeps the APU life data.

The APU indications are displayed on the Lower ECAM (Electronic Centralized
Aircraft Monitoring) APU System Display. This page is called up either
manually or automatically during APU start.
available at the DMC input, the needle is not displayed and the digital indication
is replaced by amber XX.
Exhaust Gas Temperature
Avail Indication
Green AVAIL message computed by the APU Electronic Control Box is
displayed when APU speed N (% RPM) is above 95% confirmed after two
seconds. Then, the APU is available to provide bleed air and/or electrical
power. Nothing is displayed in the other cases (or when the status of the APU
is not transmitted to the DMC).
APU Generator
The APU GEN indication gives information for the APU Generator concerning
load, voltage and frequency. The relevant value is in amber color if a parameter
is out of range.
Bleed Pressure
The APU BLEED air pressure is a green digital indication with 2 psi resolution
and a range from 0 to 98 psi. It is the difference between APU bleed air
pressure given by the ECB and the corrected average static pressure from
ADIRU 1. The indication is replaced by amber XX when one of the pressure
data is not available.
Speed Indication
The APU Speed N is displayed by a Needle on a white analog scale from
0% to 120% and a digital indication below the scale. The red line limit is
pictured by a fixed red segment from 107% to 120%.
The needle and the digital indication are in green color if speed range is
107% < N > 0%. They are in red color if speed is 107%.
The digital indication has a resolution of 1% speed. When N > 120%, the
needle stays at the maximum position of 120%. When speed information is not

TEMPERATURE INDICATING
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The temperature indicating system monitors the Exhaust Gas Temperature of
the APU. Two rakes, each with two EGT Thermocouples, transmit a signal to
the ECB. The ECB supplies the EGT signal to the EIS (Electronic Instrument
System). The EIS displays the APU EGT in C on the APU System Display.
Function
Four EGT Thermocouples are installed in the exhaust cone at the turbine
discharge. The Thermocouples (referred to as the Thermocouple Rakes) are
connected together. Each Thermocouple Rake is connected to the ECB which
reads the average temperature of the two Thermocouple Rakes.
If a failure of one Thermocouple Rake occurs, the ECB takes the value of the
remaining Thermocouple Rake and transmits this EGT signal to the EIS.

INDICATING SYSTEM OPERATION
General
The ECB transmits specific life data and all fault data to the CMS (Central
Maintenance System) and to the DMU (Data Management Unit). The CMS
collects the data and shows the results on the MCDU (Multipurpose Control &
Display Unit). You can also print the data on the cockpit printer.
The ACMS (Aircraft Condition Monitoring System) collects the BITE data from
the DMU for the APU health monitoring. You can have direct access to the
parameter data of the APU system, or you can print the APU condition reports.
There are two reports available for the APU system:
S APU MES/IDLE REPORT <13>
S APU SHUTDOWN REPORT <14>
TEMPERATURE INDICATING SYSTEM
The temperature indicating system has interface with the:
S EIS (Electronic Instrument System)
S APU System Display
S CMS (Central Maintenance System)
S Control and Monitoring System
Monitoring
EGT Thermocouples are monitored during PUT, IOT and Selftest. In case of a
faulty probe a Class 3 Fault is stored and CMS shows EGT TCPLE RAKE 1
or EGT TCPLE RAKE 2.
If both Rakes are faulty before APU start, a auto shutdown will occur and a
Class 2 fault is stored. CMS shows EGT TCPLE RAKE 1 and
EGT TCPLE RAKE 2 warning. If the same fault occurs during APU operation,
the APU will continue running without EGT monitoring and bleed supply is no
longer possible.
Automatic Shutdown
The Electronic Control Box initiates an ASD (Automatic Shut Down) under the
following conditions:
S TIT (Turbine Inlet Temperature) calculated from the EGT is more than 1260
C (EGT ranges from 1250 C to 700 C with increasing speed) at the APU
start
S TIT calculated from the EGT is more than 1232 C (EGT = 665 C) at ISA
(International Standard Atmosphere) and APU operate.
S Both Thermocouple rakes are defective during the APU start
EGT Thermocouple
The EGT thermocouple is a ChromelAlumel device which has two probes of
different lengths. The EGT thermocouples produce a voltage in proportion to
the EGT. This voltage is supplied through a shielded cable to the ECB.
Four EGT thermocouples are installed in the exhaust cone at the turbine
discharge. The thermocouples (referred to as the thermocouple rakes) are
connected together. Each thermocouple rake is connected to the ECB. The
ECB reads the average temperature of the two thermocouple rakes and
transmits the EGT signal to the EIS. If a failure of one thermocouple rake
occurs, the ECB takes the value of the remaining thermocouple rake and
transmits this EGT signal to the EIS.

RPM POWER INDICATING SYSTEM
The power indicating system has interface with the:
S EIS (Electronic Instrument System)
S APU System Display
S CMS (Central Maintenance System)
S Control and Monitoring System
Speed Sensor (Monopole Transducer)
Each Speed Sensor has a:
S Permanent Magnet
S Shim Pack
S Pole Piece
S Coil
S Housing
At 7% APU speed, the speed sensors give a frequency of approximately
292 Hz and a voltage of approximately 0.2 V AC from peak current to peak
current. At 120 % APU speed the speed sensors give a frequence of
approximately 5007 Hz and a voltage of up to 70 V AC from peak current to
peak current. The speed sensors give the frequency in proportion to the APU
speed.
ANALYZERS
The BITE (BuiltIn Test Equipment) of the ECB analyses the fault data of the
APU. The ECB has logics for statistics used for health monitoring and life data
of the APU. The ECB analyses data about the APU life and the APU faults.
The memory module also keeps the APU life data.
The ECB transmits specific life data and all fault data to the Central
Maintenance System and to the Data Management Unit. The CMS collects the
data and shows the results on the MCDU (Multipurpose Control & Display
Units). You can also print the data on the cockpit printer.
The ACMS (Aircraft Condition Monitoring System) collects the BITE data from
the DMU for the APU health monitoring. You can have direct access to the
parameter data of the APU system, or you can print the APU condition reports.
The ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System)
receives the data from the DMU and permits a direct and realtime
transmission of data in digital form. The VHF 3 system transmits the data
between the aircraft and the ground station.
The MDDU (Multipurpose Disk Drive Unit) collects the data from the DMU in its
memory. You can read this data through the GSE (Ground Support Equipment)
Operation
The speed sensors measure the APU speed and transmit a frequency to the
ECB. The ECB monitors the power indication during all APU operating
conditions. The ECB starts the automatic shutdown sequence if:
S the APU speed is more than 107%
S both speed sensors are defective
Monitoring
The Monopole Sensors are monitored during IOT. When a sensor is faulty a
Class 3 Fault is stored and CMS shows SPEED SNSR P 26 or P27.
If both sensors are defective the APU will shut down and a Class 1 fault is
stored with the related CMS message SPEED SNSR P 26 or P27.

DESCRIPTION
General
The Ignition and Starting It operates electrically and is supplied from the aircraft
electrical system. The APU battery is assisted by the APU TRU (Transformer
Rectifier Unit) if powered through the external power or if the main engine
generator supplies sufficient power to start the APU. The APU battery and the
APU TRU are installed adjacent to the BULK cargo compartment.
The starting system turns the engine to more than its selfsustaining speed.
The ignition system then ignites the fuel/air mixture in the APU combustion
chamber.
Ignition System
The ignition system gives the constant highenergy ignition which ignites the
fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber. It operates during the start
sequence until the APU speed is between 7 % and 50 %. It also operates
during the APU operation if the APU speed decreases to between 95% and
50%. The Ignition System is controlled by the ECB.
Starting System
The starting system turns and accelerates the main shaft of the APU to 50%.
You can operate the starting system from the APU panel in the cockpit. The
ECB controls the start sequence.
For manual rotation of the APU main shaft, a cap protected Manual Drive Shaft
is installed on the front of the starter motor. This device is used for borescope
inspection.
A yellow Brush Wear Indicator Pin which you can see in a clear plastic cover
indicates the serviceability of the starter brushes. When the yellow Indicator Pin
is not visible you have to replace the starter motor.
ATTENTION: Three consecutive start attempts are permitted without cool
down. After the third attempt the starter motor must cool down
for at least 60 minutes.

APU SHUTDOWN OPERATION
Shutdown Initiation and NBPT
The ECB starts a normal APU S/D (Shut Down) when you push the APU
MASTER P/BSW from ON/R to OFF.
The ECB immediately sends a S/D signal to aircraft systems which causes the
bleed air valve to close. With the MASTER SW set to off, the ECB provides a
time slot of 15 seconds to allow a NBPT (No Break Power Transfer) between
the APU electrical generator and other active electrical aircraft power sources
(Engine or External Power).
Cool Down Period
After this NBPT the field excitation of the APU generator is de-energized and
the ECB starts a cool down period of 85 seconds whether bleed was selected
or not, and the altitude is below 23000 ft. In this period the APU decelerates to
84% with a rate of 1%/sec. and then deceleration is reduced to 0.5%/sec until
82% speed. In the remaining 65 seconds the APU stays on 82% speed.
NOTE:
If the altitude is higher than 23000 ft. the cool down period is set
to zero seconds and the APU decelerates from 100% down to
0% continuously.
Shutdown State
After the cool down period the ECB tests the overspeed protection circuit, and
thus the APU enters the shutdown state. At the same time the AVAIL legend in
the START P/BSW distinguishes. During the APU shutdown the ECB activates
the ecology drain solenoid and de-energizes the fuel solenoid in the Fuel
Control Unit. At the same time the De-Oiling Solenoid Valve is energized.
The EGT and the APU speed decrease and the de-oiling valve opens.
7% Speed
At 7% APU speed the ECB de-energizes or closes the subsequent items:
S FWD fuel feed pump
S De-Oiling valve
S Ecology Drain Solenoid
S A/C APU Fuel Valves
S APU Fuel Feed Pump(s)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The ECB provides full authority digital APU control from the start initialization,
during the acceleration, at the governor speed to the shutdown. The ECB
monitors the APU speed, the APU temperatures, the load compressor air flow,
and other critical parameters based on signal inputs from the accessory
sensors and the control switches. The ECB communicates with the aircraft
systems through the ARINC 429 busses.
These data are used for the calculation and to continuously control:
S Fuel Flow
S IGV Position
S Surge Control Valve Position
The ECB also controls the subsequent systems:
S Starter Motor
S Igniters
S Fuel Control Shutoff Valve
S Air Intake Flap
The ECB communicates with the aircraft systems through the ARINC 429
busses.
The subsequent LRUs are controlled by separate torque motor currents:
S Fuel Control Assembly
S IGV Actuator
S Surge Control Valve
The ECB controls and monitors the APU with the subsequent Line Replaceable

ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX BITE
General
The Electronic Control Box performs several tests to isolate any failure or failed
component. The tests performed by the ECB are:
S PUT (Power Up Test)
S IOT (In Operation Test)
S Self Test
The ECB also applies protective shutdown logics. Any detected failure or failed
component will cause a maintenance message which is stored in a non volatile
memory.
Power-Up Test
The Power-Up Test is performed automatically as soon as the ECB is
electrically supplied for at least three seconds. During the Power-Up Test all the
components are tested, except those for which the APU must be running. E.g.
the speed sensors are not tested during the Power Up Test.
Self Test
The Self Test is performed by maintenance crew from the MCDU in the cockpit
while the APU is not running. The Self Test lasts three seconds. During the Self
Test, the same elements are tested as during the Power-Up Test.
In Operation Test
The In Operation Test is a cyclic test performed automatically when the APU is
running. The torque motors, the solenoids and most of the switches are not
tested, but all of the sensors are tested.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX
General
The ECB is a microprocessorbased digital electronic controller that does the
primary part of the APU system logic. The ECB does this for all modes of the
APU operation.
The internal CPU (Central Processing Unit) processes the program data kept in
an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The program gives
the control and the internal tests of the system. A RAM (Random Access
Memory) keeps the results of the temporary calculations that change
continuously (such as the fuel schedules and the speed rate commands).
A processor gives the BuiltIn Test Equipment (BITE) functions. It transmits the
data through the ARINC 429 Bus of the ECB and the RS232 interface.
The ECB transmits and gets all information through the J1 main connector on
the rear panel of the ECB.
It is possible to download the ECB software via the RS232 connector at the
front. This enables the customer to install the ECB, with its A/C related
software.
Onboard Replaceable Modules
The Control and Communication OBRMs (On Board Replaceable Modules) are
installed in the ECB. These contain the software for control and data transfer
between the aircraft systems and the ECB. All data between the aircraft and
the ECB are transmitted on the ARINC 429 data bus systems.
The Control OBRM #1 contains the software to control the data transfer
between the ECB and the APU data memory module. These are used for the
APU health monitoring.
The Communication OBRM #2 has a logic for all ARINC 429 labels to and from
the aircraft systems as required for the:
S CMS (Central Maintenance System)
S EIS (Electronic Instrument System)
S ACMS (Aircraft Condition Monitoring System) if installed

APU DATA ANALYSIS
The analysis data of the APU is divided into two sections:
S APU Life Data
S APU Fault Data
APU Life Data
The APU DMM (Data Memory Module) keeps the APU life data. The ECB also
keeps the APU life data at the same time as the Data Memory Module. When
the DMM fails, the ECB continues to store the data.
When you install a new Data Memory Module, the ECB transmits all life data to
the Data Memory Module. When you install a new Electronic Control Box, the
Data Memory Module transmits the memory content to the new ECB. The
interface between the ECB and APU memory module is made through a serial
bus.
The APU life data contains:
S APU Serial Number
S Number of the APU Starts
S Number of the APU Operating Hours
S Number of the unsuccessful Starts
S Number of the HighOil Temperature Shutdowns
S Turbine Life Consumed
APU Serial Number
The APU serial number is kept in the memory module. The memory module
sets the serial number and the ECB reads this information.
APU Starts
Shows the number of the APU starts. An APU start is counted when the APU
speed is more than 95%.
APU Operating Hours
Shows the total run time in hours, where the APU speed was more than 95%.
The hours are stored after shutdown when the APU speed is less than 7%.
Number of unsuccessful Starts
Shows the number of unsuccessful starts of the APU. It is counted when a
start aborted shutdown is available.

SYSTEM INTERFACES
Power Supply
The Electronic Control Box is electrically supplied by the APU Battery, the
Aircraft DC Network and/or from the APU Transformer Rectifier.
It is supplied with 28 V DC from the:
S 709PP APU HOT BUS through the C/B 58KD
S 401PP ESS BUS through the C/B 35KD
S 309PP APU BAT BUS through the C/B 1KD
S 909PP APU TRU BUS through the C/B 3KD
The ECB continuously monitors its internal voltages and starts a shutdown if a
voltage failure occurs.
Master Switch Pushbutton
The Master Switch provides the ECB with a supply and reset signal and with a
shutdown signal. The Electronic Control Box sends a signal to the Fault Light
when a shutdown occurs.
Start Pushbutton
When the ECB receives the start signal from the Start Pushbutton, the start
sequence is initiated. The ECB illuminates the ON light during APU start
sequence. The AVAIL light in the START pushbutton comes on when the APU
speed is above 95%.
EIVMUs
The ECB receives the MES (Main Engine Start) signal from the EIVMUs
(Engine Interface and Vibration Monitoring Units). The MES mode is active
when a MES signal from the EIVMU1 or EIVMU2 or EIVMU3 or EIVMU4 is
available and the APU Bleed P/BSW is pushed to the on position. This sets the
IGV position in a fixed position in proportion to the inlet temperature, or 0 if the
A/C is in flight. These permit a correct MES.
BMCs
The ECB receives the APU bleed valve command signal from the BMCs
(Bleed Air Monitoring Computers. This signal is used to control the APU bleed
valve depending on bleed leak status.
Memory Module
A Memory Module mounted on the APU inlet plenum stores and exchanges the
following information with the ECB:
S APU Serial Number
S APU successful Starts (N > 95%)
S APU unsuccessful Starts (N < 95%)
S APU Turbine Life consumed
S APU Operating Hours
Emergency Stop
An emergency stop signal causes an immediate shutdown of the APU. The
four sources for emergency stop signals are:
S External Power Control Panel Shut-Off Pushbutton
S Refuel/Defuel Panel Shutdown Pushbutton
S AFECU (Automatic Fire Extinguishing Control Unit)
S Fire Handle Pushbutton.
LGCIU 1
The ECB receives the Flight/Ground logic from the LGCIU #1 (Landing Gear
Control and Interface Unit). This signal is used for automatic shutdown
inhibition logic and for failed sensor logic.

APU Fuel Pump
The Electronic Control Box sends a fuel demand signal to the APU fuel pump
logic.
FCMCs
The Electronic Control Box sends a fuel demand signal to the Fuel Control and
Monitoring Computer.
ECS
The ECB receives the bleed demand signal from the ECS (Environmental
Control System) i.e. from the Zone Controller. This signal is used to control the
Inlet Guide Vanes and the surge control valve in proportion to the ECS demand
signal. The ECB provides the Environmental Control System with the APU
bleed valve open signal.
BCL 3
The ECB sends an APU available signal to the Battery Charge Limiter 3.
CGU
The ECB receives a speed variation demand signal from the Generator Control
Unit. This signal is used to vary APU speed so that the generator outputs
(voltage and frequency) stay in range.
SDAC
The ECB sends to the SDACs the indications to be displayed on the ECAM
APU page and shutdown information to trigger the corresponding warning.
CMC
The ECB is a type 1 computer. The ECB receives flight information from the
Centralized Maintenance Computer 1 and sends maintenance parameters to
both CMCs.
DMU
The ECB sends maintenance parameters to the Data Management Unit. This
information is used for the Aircraft Condition Monitoring System.

APU SHUTDOWNS
Normal Shutdown
The ECB starts a normal APU shutdown when you push the APU MASTER
SW P/BSW from ON/R to OFF. The ECB immediately sends a S/D signal to
aircraft systems which causes the bleed air valve to close.
Protective Shutdowns
A protective shutdown logic shuts down the APU automatically whenever
continued APU operation would result in damage to the aircraft, the APU or the
ECB. The shutdown sequence is the same as the normal shutdown sequence
except that there is no 85 seconds cooling period.
Automatic Shutdown
An automatic shutdown is always started from the subsequent shutdown
logics:
S Overspeed Shutdown
S ECB 1A Shutdown
S Emergency Shutdown
If the ECB receives one of these shutdown commands the ECB starts a APU
shutdown without a cool down cycle and without a BITE check.
During an APU automatic shutdown the MASTER CAUT lights come on and a
single chime sounds, the ECB closes the fuel solenoid valve, the isolation
shutoff valve and the APU LP fuel pump, the APU shuts down without a time
delay.
The fault output of the ECB transmits a signal to the MASTER P/BSW 14KD
and on the EWD the subsequent warning comes on:
S APU FAULT
S AUTO SHUTDOWN
S MASTER SWITCH ____OFF
When the APU MASTER P/BSW has been push to the off position, the AUTO
SHUTDOWN and the MASTER SWITCH ____OFF indication goes off. The air
intake flap closes when the APU speed is less than 7 %.
Inhibited Shutdowns
The subsequent shutdowns are inhibited (when the aircraft is in flight or on the
ground) between the 1st main engine start and the last main engine shut down
(i.e. from flight phase 2 to 9) and the APU speed is above 95%.
These shutdown conditions are:
S UnderSpeed Shutdown
S Start Aborted shutdown (with its split shutdown reasons)
S Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
S Air Intake Flap not open Shutdown
S Load Compressor Overtemperature Shutdown
S High Oil Temperature Shutdown
S Generator High Oil Temperature Shutdown
S Oil Filter Clogged Shutdown
S ECB 1B Shutdown
S Main Power Interrupt Shutdown
S Overtemperature Shutdown
Emergency Shutdown
The APU Emergency ShutdownSystem stops the APU in case of emergency.
If the ECB receives the emergency shutdown signal during the operation of the
APU, it stops the APU immediately without a cool down cycle.
If the ECB receives the emergency shutdown signal during the cool down cycle
of a shutdown, it stops the APU also immediately.
The shutdown sequence is the same than an APU automatic shutdown without
a cool down cycle.
Emergency Shutdown initiation can be initiated either manually from the APU
FIRE PUSH P/BSW in the cockpit, the APU SHUT OFF P/BSW on the external
Power Control Panel and the APU EMERG SHUT DOWN P/BSW on the
Refuel/Defuel Panel or automatically, if the APU Fire and Overheat Detection
System finds an overtemperature in the APU compartment. On the ground the
APU Fire Extinguishing System operates automatically.
