ENGINE - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. General (Ref. Figs. 1 and 2)
The PW127H turboprop engine has two centrifugal impellers driven by independent axial
turbines, a reverse flow annular combustor and a two-stage power turbine which provides thedrive for the reduction gearbox. The engine has two modules: a reduction gearbox moduleand a turbomachinery module. The modules are joined to form a rigid unit. Provision is madefor the installation of airframe equipment on the engines.
2. Description
A. Reduction Gearbox (Ref. Figs. 3, 4 and 5)
The reduction gearbox has an accessory drive cover and three housings: the fronthousing, the rear housing and the input housing (which together make up the housingset). Reduction is accomplished by a two-stage geartrain.
(1) Front Housing
The front housing holds the front roller bearings for the two second-stagegearshafts and the propeller shaft, and the ball thrust bearing for the propellershaft. The propeller shaft seal is under a cover on the front housing.
In front of each gearshaft are mounting pads. A propeller brake is fitted to the leftpad. These pads are provided with seal drains blanked off with flight closures.
The propeller brake (Ref. Fig. 5) is a hydromechanical type actuated by solenoidvalves which are energized by an airframe-mounted control unit which controls thebraking and unbraking sequences. The brake is used to immobilize the propellerwhen the engine is running and providing electricity and compressor air for off-engine
use. Push buttons on each solenoid valve allow manual operation of the brakerelease system during maintenance or when an electrical failure has occurred.
A mounting pad is provided on the right side of the front housing to accommodatean electric feathering pump. The pad has oil ports that are connected to aninternal oil tank which is part of the rear housing.
The data plate of the reduction gearbox module is attached to the left side of thefront housing.
At the one and eleven oclock positions on the front housing flange are two liftingbrackets.
(2) Rear Housing
The rear housing carries the second-stage reduction gear and drive pinions,propeller shaft rear roller bearing, second-stage reduction gear rear roller bearings,front roller bearing of the input shaft and the front roller bearings of both first-stagehelical gears.

E. Oil System (Ref. Figs. 9 through 13)
The oil system is a wet sump system, cooled by an aircraft mounted air-cooled oil coolerand an integral fuel-cooled oil cooler. The oil is stored in a tank that is integral withthe rear inlet case. The tank has a filler neck and cap, contents gage and scavenge chipdetector. The system is composed of three subsystems: the pressure system, whichsupplies oil to the reduction gearbox and turbomachinery, the scavenge system, whichreturns the used oil to the tank and the vent and breather system which vents the bearing
cavities and removes oil from the vented air (Ref. Figs. 9 and 10).
(1) Pressure System
(a) Turbomachinery
A spur gear type pressure pump is mounted, in a pack with the scavengepump, on the right side of the rear inlet case. An integral cast passage connectsthe oil tank to the inlet side of the pump. A pressure relief valve returns oil tothe tank to prevent a pressure surge during cold starting.
Airframe-supplied tubes connect the outlet to the airframe air cooled oil cooler.From the cooler the oil flows via a heat exchanger (airframe component) to
the pressure regulating valve and the pressure filter.
The pressure regulating valve (Ref. Fig. 11) consists of a piston valve andspring in a ported sleeve. It maintains a constant oil pressure above and inrelation to the air pressure in the No. 3 and 4 bearing cavity. If oil output pressure,taken from a tapping downstream of the check valve, overcomes the airpressure plus spring pressure, the valve opens a port. Oil is bled from the mainpressure line by the port and returned to the inlet side of the pump, reducingoutput pressure. Air pressure plus spring pressure overcomes the reduced oilpressure, closing the bleed port at the desired pump output pressure. Thecheck valve output pressure is also connected, via a restrictor to an oil pressuretransducer and to the low oil pressure switch.
The pressure filter has a bypass valve to ensure adequate flow if the filter isblocked; an indicator warns of impending blockage. From the filter the oil flowsin two directions: to the oil pressure check valve housing and to the fuelheater (then, in turn, to the fuel-cooled oil cooler).

Oil goes through internal passages to the check valve housing. After enteringthe housing, the oil flows in two directions. One part goes through an internalpassage in the housing wall, past the temperature bulb and externally to aconnection on the rear inlet case. The other part goes through the check valveafter 25% NH has been exceeded.
From the connection on the rear inlet case, oil flows by internal passages tothe accessory gearbox through the inlet struts (for de-icing) to the No. 1 and 2bearing cavity. Some of the accessory gearbox oil flows via a strainer tolubricate the drive gears and associated components. Oil flowing to the No. 1and 2 bearing cavity passes through a strainer. Pressure oil is also used toactuate a jet pump which scavenges No. 2 bearing area.
The check valve consists of a piston valve and spring in a ported sleeve.During starting and shutdown, the valve stops oil going to the No. 3, 4, 5, 6and 7 bearing cavities when pump outlet pressure is below a minimum value.This ensures that sufficient pressurized air is available at the bearings toenable the seals and blowdown scavenge system to function correctly and
prevent oil flooding. From the check valve, oil flows through strainers to lubricatethe bearings and associated components in the bearing cavities. Oil flowsthrough a restrictor before reaching the strainer in the line to the No. 6 and 7bearing cavity.
Oil flows through tubes to the oil-to-fuel heater and fuel-cooled oil cooler, thento the reduction gearbox and oil-cooled AC generator.
The fuel-cooled oil cooler (Ref. Fig. 12) is a heat exchanger with two flowcircuits: engine lubricating oil and fuel. The oil circuit has two flow paths (bypassand internal) and a valve that controls flow between the paths. The valveremains in the open position, allowing oil to bypass the core until the temperaturereaches 60 to 71C (140-160F). Within this temperature range bypass flow
is cut off and routed through the internal path. To ensure the cooler is not overpressurized, the valve opens, allowing oil to bypass when the pressuredifferential across the valve exceeds 40 psig (276 kPa).
(b) Reduction Gearbox
Inside the gearbox (Ref. Fig. 10) the oil flows into an auxiliary oil tank (whichis part of the casting). The auxiliary tank is pressurized when the engine isrunning, and is always full of oil (even when the engine is not running).
Oil from the tank flows, by internal passages and tubes, to the electric featheringpump and the propeller valve module (PVM) pump. The PVM receivespressure oil from the electric feathering pump and the PVM pump and signal
pressure oil from the overspeed governor (when in the governing mode). In theoverspeed mode, signal pressure oil is drained through the overspeedgovernor. Pressure oil from the PVM actuates the pitch control mechanism inthe propeller.
Oil from the auxiliary tank is distributed through internal galleries to thereduction and accessory geartrains and bearings.

(2) Scavenge System
(a) Reduction Gearbox
Scavenge oil from the gearbox accessories, gears and bearings drains into a
cavity in the bottom of the reduction gearbox rear housing. The cavity has a chipdetector. A scavenge pump, which is part of the pump pack on the right sideof the rear inlet case, draws the oil through an external tube on the left side of thefront inlet case. The tube is looped upward to prevent gearbox oil fromflooding the oil tank when the engine is not running. The tube connects to aninternal oilway (which provides anti-icing of the intake) in the front inlet case.From the inlet case, the oil flows through a tube to the scavenge pump, thenthrough the scavenge filter, which is equipped with a valve to bypass the filter inthe event of blockage. An indicator warns of impending blockage. From thescavenge filter, the oil flows to the tank.
(b) Turbomachinery
Oil from the accessory casing and the No. 1 bearing cavity is scavenged bygravity. The No. 2 bearing cavity oil is scavenged through a venturi by gravityaided by pressure oil, which induces a jet-pump action. Oil from the No. 3,4 and 5 bearing cavities is scavenged by gravity and assisted by air (blow-down)from the bearing labyrinth seals. The No. 6 and 7 bearing cavity oil isscavenged through an external tube connected to the scavenge pump.
(3) Vent and Breather System
The oil tank and No. 1 and 2 bearing cavity are vented internally, and the No. 6and 7 bearing cavity externally, to the accessory gearbox. A centrifugal oil separator(breather impeller) installed in the accessory gearbox removes oil before ventedair is carried by an external tube and discharged into the exhaust.
The impending bypass indicators (Ref. Fig. 13) fitted to the pressure and scavengefilters sense pressure filter differential. When activated, a signal gives advancewarning of a filter blockage.
F. Fuel and Control System (Ref. Figs. 14 through 21)
The engine fuel and control system governs the power produced by the engine bycontrolling the fuel flow. The fuel flow is controlled by the power lever and fuel shut off(condition) lever through two integrated systems: the mechanical fuel system and theelectronic fuel system.
(1) Engine Fuel System
The engine mechanical fuel system (Ref. Fig. 14) is made up of a fuel heater, afuel pump and a mechanical fuel control unit (MFCU), which are mounted on theaccessory drive casing. It also comprises a flow divider and dump valve andfuel nozzle manifold mounted on the gas generator case.

(a) The fuel heater (Ref. Fig. 15) consists of a filter and fin-type heater in twointegral housings. The filter housing contains a bypass valve to ensure anadequate fuel flow in the event of blockage and an indicator to warn of impendingblockage. The heater housing is divided into two circuits. Turbomachinerylubricating oil flows through one circuit to transfer heat to the fuel, which flows
through the other circuit. A thermal sensor in the fuel circuit operates avalve to regulate the oil flow in order to maintain the required fuel temperature.The fuel pressure differential switch located in the fuel filter housing outletport activates a warning indicator.
(b) The fuel pump (Ref. Fig. 16) is a positive displacement spur gear assemblyconsisting of a fuel ejector (jet pump), a self-relieving inlet screen, two spurgears, an outlet filter and a bypass valve. Fuel from the MFCU bypass outletpasses through the jet pump, positioned ahead of the main inlet, to maintain aconstant inlet pressure. The self-relieving inlet screen, when blocked, liftsfrom its seat and allows fuel to enter the pump housing. Two spur gears pumpfuel through the outlet filter. A bypass valve diverts fuel to the outlet port inthe event of filter blockage: the differential pressure switch signals the impending
blockage and activates a warning.
(c) The mechanical fuel control unit (MFCU) (Ref. Figs. 17 and 18), mounted onthe fuel pump, controls the engine fuel flow and thus the power output. TheMFCU consists of the following components:
1 Power Lever and Cam Assembly:
The power lever shaft incorporates two speed set cams, which move acam lever when the power lever is advanced. A spring connects the camlever to the governor lever and exerts a force on the governor lever as afunction of PLA. The governor lever is pivoted, and one end operatesagainst an airflow restrictor to form the governor orifice (Ag). A ball bearing
on the governor lever contacts the top of the flyweight bearing assembly.When the power lever is advanced, the cam applies tension to the spring,which applies a force on the governor lever to close Ag.
2 Flyweight Assembly:
The flyweights are mounted on a platform on the driveshaft, and as thedriveshaft revolves, centrifugal force causes the weights to pivot about theirmounting points and contact the bottom face of the bearing assembly. Asthe driveshaft speed increases, increased centrifugal force causes theweights to apply an increasing force against the bearing assembly. Thiscauses the bearing assembly to move upward on the driveshaft and applypressure to the ball bearing on the governor lever arm. The governor
orifice Ag opens whenever the driveshaft speed increases enough toovercome the force applied by the governor lever spring.
3 Orifices (Fixed and Variable):
High pressure compressor discharge pressure (P3) is supplied to theMFCU and metered through a fixed orifice to produce Px pressure. Px isused to pressurize the chamber containing the acceleration bellows, inside

49/551
the deceleration bellows and the governing bellows, and is meteredthrough a fixed orifice to produce Py pressure. Py pressurizes the chambercontaining the deceleration and governing bellows and is tapped off(then vented to atmosphere) via the governor (Ag) and stepper motor (Ap)flapper valve orifices. In addition, a Py tapping is connected to the
overspeed governor.
4 Flapper Valves (Ag and Ap):
Ag is controlled by the mechanical speed governor and Ap, which parallelsAg, by the stepper motor. Movement of either flapper valve changes Pywith respect to Px and repositions the bellows assembly.
5 Mode Cam Select Mechanism:
The mode select mechanism is used to transfer control between the EECand the MFCU. The system is activated automatically by the EEC when asystem fault occurs and also by cockpit command. A solenoid operated
pneumatic servo mechanism is used to select the appropriate cam whichtransfers control between the EEC and MFCU.
In EEC mode, a high mechanical governor speed schedule is selected bythe EEC cam to close valve Ag and allow the EEC to control parallel valve Apthrough the stepper motor. In manual mode, the manual cam holds valveAp in the closed position and selects a low mechanical governor speedschedule which allows valve Ag to be controlled by the power leverangle (PLA).
6 Bellows Assembly:
Consists of deceleration, governor and acceleration bellows connected by a
shaft linked to the fuel metering valve. Pressure differential betweeninside (Px) and outside (Py) pressures causes the deceleration bellows toexpand and reduce fuel flow. An increase in Px pressure acting on theevacuated acceleration bellows increases fuel flow.
During acceleration, flapper valves Ag and Ap are closed; this equalizesand increases Px and Py air pressures. As Px increases, the accelerationbellows contract, opening the metering valve and increasing fuel flow.
When governing, Py is reduced slightly below Px air pressure to give thefuel flow required to run at the selected power.
During deceleration, when the EEC is not operating, spring force on the
governor flyweights is reduced, opening flapper valve Ag which bleeds andreduces Py pressure around the deceleration bellows (Px pressure inthe bellows is not affected). The bellows expand, reducing fuel flow untilthe deceleration stop is contacted. As governor speed reaches the desiredlower setting, spring force overcomes flyweight force, the valve closesand Py pressure increases. This moves the bellows away from the stop intothe governing range to control fuel flow at the selected power level.

During deceleration, when the EEC is operating, the stepper motor opensflapper valve Ap, bleeding and reducing Py pressure around the decelerationbellows. The bellows expand, reducing fuel flow until the decelerationstop is contacted. When the desired power level is reached, the valve closes,increasing Py pressure to move the bellows away from the stop into the
governing range.
7 Motive Flow Valve: The valve is spring loaded, closes and opens when thepressure of unmetered fuel overcomes the spring force. The valve providesfuel to operate a jet pump located in aircraft fuel tank.
8 High Pressure Relief Valve: Consists of a relief valve, a ported sleeve anda valve spring. The relief valve operates in parallel with the differentialpressure regulator to prevent excessive buildup of fuel pressure in the mainfuel control body.
9 Differential Pressure Regulator (Pd Regulator): Maintains a constantpressure drop across the metering valve by bypassing excess fuel flow to the
fuel pump ejector pump. Bimetallic disks under the spring compensatefor variations in specific gravity due to fuel temperature change. An externaladjustment screw on the regulator cover is used to adjust for maximumPd.
10 Metering Valve: Composed of a needle valve operating in a sleeve.Actuation of the valve changes the orifice area, which regulates the flow offuel to the engine. Positioning of the needle valve is controlled by thebellows assembly in the pneumatic section through a torque tube that actsas a fuel/air seal.
11 Pressurizing Valve: Maintains a minimum fuel pressure in the MFCU duringlow flow conditions when starting.
12 Shutoff Valve: An input shaft driven by the condition/fuel shutoff leveroperates a valve that passes metered flow to the bypass port, consequentlyclosing the pressurizing valve and shutting down the engine.
13 Manifold Pressure Regulator: Regulates starting fuel flow as a function ofcompressor discharge pressure (P3). The valve is normally open, and asP3 increases, the valve closes.
14 Stepper Motor: Alters the position of the valve (Ap) which bleeds Pypressure to change metered fuel flow to the engine. The motor is controlledby the EEC.
15 Rotary Variable Differential Transformer: Fitted to the power lever shaft andsignals power lever angle to the EEC.
16 Mode Select Solenoid: Energized when selecting EEC mode.

17 The MFCU has an identification circuit in the wiring which is read by theEEC. If an MFCU having a lower fuel flow but not the identification circuitis installed on a PW127H engine, a fault is generated which prevents theMFCU from going into EEC mode. The code for the fault is stored in theEEC memory, thereby facilitating the identification of MFCUs which cannot
meet the fuel flow requirements of PW127H engines.
(d) The flow divider and dump valve (Ref. Fig. 19) is connected to the fuelmanifold at the bottom of the gas generator case (flange F to K). It comprisesprimary and secondary spool valves in a housing equipped with inlet anddump ports. The primary valve opens, giving access to the primary manifold,when the inlet fuel pressure overcomes the valve spring. The secondary valveopens when the primary manifold pressure overcomes the secondary valvespring. When the fuel inlet pressure ceases, the valves close the inlet and openthe dump ports, allowing residual fuel to drain from the manifold through theflow divider to the dump port.
(e) The fuel manifold delivers fuel to the combustion chamber. The manifold
consists of sheathed nozzle adapter assemblies (Ref. Fig. 20), which protrudeinto the combustion chamber, connected to three flexible tubes. One tubesupplies primary fuel and the other two (which are connected), secondary fuelto the fuel nozzle adapters. Nozzle adapter assemblies are produced byDelavan. Some nozzles have a fine center hole for primary fuel flow and anannular orifice for secondary flow; others have no center hole and are equippedfor secondary flow only. The sheath which surrounds the nozzle conveys air,from the compressor, to cool the nozzle and atomize the fuel.
(f) To ensure adequate drainage of fuel after shutdown, spring-loaded valves areinstalled at the front and rear of the underside of the gas generator case. Thevalves open when the pressure inside the case falls to near ambientpressure. The front valve has an adapter installed with a tube connected to the
adapter to drain the fuel to the main fuel drain valve. In addition, an elbowand tube is fitted to the exhaust duct and connects to the main fuel drain valve.
(g) To eliminate atmospheric pollution and fuel wastage, the dump valve isconnected to a waste fuel ejector.
1 The fuel waste ejector (Ref. Fig. 21), located in the airframe, comprises atank with inlet and outlet connections and a vent. The tank containsnon-return valves, a motive flow ejector pump, a strainer, and afloat-operated drain valve.

2 During engine operation, fuel drains from the dump valve and is collectedin the ejector tank. As the fuel level rises, the float moves upwards, raisinga lever and unseating a valve covering an orifice. Fuel from thehydromechanical fuel control flowing through a venturi causes a pressuredrop below the orifice. Fuel pressure acting on top of the orifice, combined
with the pressure drop on the bottom, opens a non-return valve locatedon the bottom of the orifice. Fuel is then drawn from the tank through theorifice, to be conveyed by a tube to the inlet side of the fuel pump. When thetank fuel level drops, the float moves down and the orifice is covered bythe valve. The non-return valve then closes, preventing fuel from themechanical fuel control from entering the tank from the orifice. The ejectortank is vented to an airframe tank, which also collects fuel and oil fromvarious drains on the engine.
(2) Engine Control System
(a) Electronic Engine Control
The electronic engine control (EEC) (Ref. Figs. 22 and 23) is located on the leftside of the front inlet case. The EEC operates in conjunction with themechanical fuel control unit (MFCU) and the autofeather unit (AFU) to providecontrol of engine power.
In EEC mode, the EEC has inputs from the Power Lever Angle (PLA), RatingSelector Switch (RSS), ambient conditions and aircraft requirements (e.g. bleeddemand). From these inputs, the EEC determines the power required. Thevalue of the power required is stored internally in the EEC and is also an outputto the aircraft cockpit instrumentation where it is displayed as an equivalenttorque value. The control system then adjusts fuel flow to obtain the powerrequired and ensure it does not fluctuate.
The EEC also controls minimum power turbine speed (NPT), HP compressorrotor speed (NH) until just above flight idle, acceleration and deceleration.
In addition, the EEC controls the intercompressor bleed valve (IBV) whichensures surge free transient operation.
In manual (degraded EEC) mode, the majority of the control functions aretaken over by the Mechanical Fuel Control Unit (MFCU). In this mode, the MFCUcontrols high pressure rotor speed based on power lever angle. Monitoringand adjustment of the torque (power) produced is the responsibility of the personrunning the engine.
In manual mode, the intercompressor bleed valve remains controlled by the
EEC and engine acceleration is usually faster than in EEC mode .
Below 30% NH (e.g. starting), fuel flow is controlled by the MFCU only. Above30% NH, the EEC maintains closed loop control as described above.
The EEC, operating on 28 VDC, corrects and changes fuel flow throughvarious inputs, both airframe and engine, as follows:

9 Bleed signal (2 Discrete Inputs).
Indicates bleed air extraction level and lowers thermal power limit ofengine.
10 Air data computer.
Electrical signals from the computer transmit outside air temperature (OAT),altitude pressure (PALT) and indicated airspeed (IAS). These signals arenormally used instead of those from engine sensors to compute and transmita signal to the torque gage which positions the bug to control engine fuelflow. The engine sensors are used only when a fault occurs in the air datainput to the EEC.

(c) Engine Inputs
1 Ambient pressure (PAMB).
Pneumatic signal to a transducer installed in the EEC.
2 Total inlet pressure (P1.8)
Pneumatic signal to a transducer installed in the EEC. This is used togenerate an airspeed signal used by the control logic.
3 Total inlet temperature (T1.8).
Electrical signal from a sensor installed in the rear inlet case.
4 High pressure turbine rotor speed (NH).
Electrical signals from pulse pick-up probes installed in the accessory
gearbox.5 Torque and power turbine rotor speed (NPT).
Electrical signals from a torque sensor installed in the reduction gearboxinput housing. The sensor has two coils. If the signal from No. 1 coil deviatesbeyond set limits, the EEC uses the signal from No. 2 coil and a fault isrecorded in the EEC memory. The torque signal is modified by acharacterization plug to compensate for torque shaft variations due totolerances.
(d) EEC output
The airframe and engine inputs are processed by logic in the EEC andcompared with reference data stored in the units memory. Commands are thengenerated and transmitted to:
1 The MFCU stepper motor to adjust fuel flow.
NOTE: After a major EEC or EEC input failure, then stepper motor isfrozen (fail fixed), holding fuel flow and power stable under steadystate conditions until reversion to manual occurs. Reversion tomanual is automatic when PLA is below 65 degrees (i.e. at lowpower), ensuring power changes during the reversion areminimized.
2 A reference bug on the torque indicator. The position of the bug shows theactual rated engine torque for the current operating conditions. The powerlever may be adjusted to bring engine torque into line with rated torque.
3 The torque indicator to show the actual torque produced by the engine.

4 The intercompressor bleed valve which is opened to bleed LP compressorair and prevent surge, stalls and reduce noise at low power and duringrapid power lever movement. The valve is closed when the MFCU is inmanual mode. The following two modes are used to generate the commandstransmitted to the intercompressor bleed valve:
a Electronic mode: normal control depending on NH, PLA and PAMBinput.
b Degraded mode (Ref. step (d) 7): Control depends on NH input.
5 A cockpit warning light (auto fail lamp) when a failed fixed condition occurs.
6 The EEC degraded lamp located on the maintenance panel when a faultoccurs in the EEC.
7 There is a degraded mode which occurs automatically after a major EEC orEEC input failure. The MFCU stepper motor is frozen (fail fixed) holding
fuel flow steady or the units reverts to manual control where the fuel flow iscontrolled by the power lever angle (PLA). Existing commands maycontinue to be generated by the EEC, depending on the type of failure.
(e) Most control system faults are recorded in the EEC memory and identified by atwo-digit code which can be shown on a maintenance panel or ARINC 429receiver.
(3) Autofeather Unit
The autofeather unit (AFU) (Ref. Fig. 24) is mounted on the left side of the frontinlet case (flange B to C) adjacent to the EEC. The unit comprises two circuit boardscontained in a metal case. The case has four mounting pads and two electrical
connectors. The AFU operates on 28 VDC and receives signals from the AFU of thesecond (twin) engine. A torque shaft characterization plug is installed on theconnectors located at the top of the AFU.
The plug contains links which are set up during the calibration of the torque shaftand testing of the engine. They bring the torque signals to a nominal value andcompensate for any differences due to material inconsistency and machiningtolerances of the torque shaft. Should an engine fail, its AFU will initiate the enginesautofeather system and signal the EEC and AFU of the twin engine. In that eventthe EEC of the twin engine increases power (uptrim) to compensate for the failedengine. The twin AFU disables its autofeather system to ensure both engines arenot feathered at the same time.
G. Propeller Control System
In addition to the components of the fuel control, the engine power output is governedby the propeller overspeed governor. The propeller control system consists of theelectronic propeller control (EPC), propeller valve module (PVM), the propeller overspeedgovernor and the hydraulic pump described below.
(1) The EPC is mounted on the airframe (Ref. AMM).

(2) The PVM is mounted behind the propeller shaft on the rear face of the reductiongearbox. A power lever on the PVM controls reverse pitch and beta scheduling. Acondition lever governs the propeller pitch range and, therefore, propeller speed. Aswitch is linked to the PVM condition lever to restrict the use of reverse pitch.The PVM receives oil from a pump mounted on the reduction gearbox. The oil
pressure is transmitted to the propeller pitch change system by a transfer tube thatruns through the propeller shaft.
H. Inlet Temperature and Torque Sensing Systems (Ref. Fig. 25 and Fig. 26)
The inlet temperature and torque sensing systems consist of a total inlet temperature(T1.8) sensor and the engine torque sensor. These units provide signals which are passedto the engine control system by the engine electrical harness.
(1) The total inlet temperature (T1.8) sensor (Ref. Fig. 25), mounted in the rear inletcase (flange C to D), consists of a resistor in a sleeve fitted with a threadedconnector. It receives a fixed low current input from the EEC. The resistance of thesensor changes with temperature, varying the current returned to the EEC in
proportion.
(2) The torque sensors (Ref. Fig. 26) have identical tubular housings with a magnetand coil at the inner (tip) end. A six-pin electrical connector and mount flange areat the outer end. The engine torque shaft assemblies consist of an outer reductiongearbox torque shaft and an inner torque shaft metering tube. Teeth on the innershaft and on the ou
