a.
Turbine Gas Temperature Indicators. Two TGT
gages on the instrument panel (fig. 2-28) are calibrated in
degrees
Celsius.
Each
gage
is
connected
to
thermocouple probes located in the hot gases between
the turbine wheels. The gages register the temperature
present between the compressor turbine and power
turbine for the corresponding engine.
b.
Engine Torquemeters. Two torquemeters on the
instrument panel (fig. 2-28) indicate torque applied to the
propeller shafts of the respective engines. Each gage
shows torque in percent of maximum using 2 percent
graduations and is actuated by an electrical signal from a
pressure sensing system located in the respective
propeller reduction gear case. Torquemeters are
protected by individual 0. 5ampere circuit breakers
placarded TORQUEMETER #1 or #2 on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26).
c.
Turbine Tachometers. Two tachometers on the
instrument panel (fig. 2-28) register compressor turbine
RPM (N1) for the respective engine. These indicators
register turbine RPM as a percentage of maximum gas
generator RPM. Each instrument is slaved to a
tachometer generator attached to the respective engine.
d.
Oil Pressure/Oil Temperature Indicators. Two
gages on the instrument panel (fig. 2-28) panel register
oil pressure in PSI and oil temperature in °C. Oil pressure
is taken from the delivery side of the main oil pressure
pump. Oil temperature is transmitted by a thermal sensor
unit which senses the temperature of the oil as it leaves
the delivery side of the oil pressure pump. Each gage is
connected to pressure transmitters installed on the
respective engine. Both instruments are protected by
5ampere circuit breakers, placarded OIL PRESS and OIL
TEMP #1 or #2, on the overhead circuit breaker panel
(fig. 2-26).
e.
Fuel Flow Indicators. Two gages on the
instrument panel (fig. 2-28) register the rate of flow for
consumed fuel as measured by sensing units coupled into
the fuel supply lines of the respective engines. The fuel
flow indicators are calibrated in increments of hundreds of
pounds per hour. Both circuits are protected by 1/2
ampere circuit breakers placarded FUEL FLOW #1 or #2,
on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26).
Section IV. FUEL SYSTEM
2-34. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM.
The engine fuel supply system (fig. 2-12) consists
of two identical systems sharing a common fuel
management panel and fuel crossfeed plumbing. Each
fuel system consists of five interconnected wing tanks, a
nacelle tank, an auxiliary inboard fuel tank. A fuel
transfer pump is located within each auxiliary tank.
Additionally, the system has an engine-driven boost
pump, a standby fuel pump located within each nacelle
tank, a fuel heater (engine oilto-fuel heat exchanger unit),
a tank vent system, a tank vent heating system and
interconnecting wiring and plumbing. Refer to Section IV
for fuel grades and specifications. Fuel tank capacity is
shown in Table 2-2.
a.
Engine Driven Boost Pumps.
CAUTION
Engine operation using only the
enginedriven
primary
(high
pressure)
fuel
pump
without
standby pump or engine-driven
boost pump fuel pressure is limited
to 10 cumulative hours. This
condition
is
indicated
by
illumination of either #1 or #2 FUEL
PRESS lights and the simultaneous
illumination
of
both
MASTER
WARNING lights. Refer to Chapter
9. All time in this category shall be
entered on DA Form 2408-13 for the
attention
of
maintenance
personnel.
A gear driven boost pump, mounted on each
engine supplies fuel under pressure to the inlet of the
engine-driven primary high-pressure pump for engine
starting and all normal operations. Either the engine-
driven boost pump or standby pump is capable of
supplying sufficient pressure to the enginedriven primary
high-pressure pump and thus maintain normal engine
operation.
b.
Standby Fuel Pumps. A submerged, electrically-
operated standby fuel pump, located within each nacelle
tank, serves as a backup unit for the engine-driven boost
pump. The standby pumps are switched off during
normal system operations. A standby fuel pump will be
operated during crossfeed to pump fuel from one system
to the opposite engine. The correct pump is automatically
selected when the CROSSFEED switch is activated.
Each standby fuel pump has an inertia switch included in
the power supply circuit. When subjected to a 5 to 6 G
shock loading, as in a crash situation, the inertia switch
will remove electrical power from the standby fuel pumps.
The
standby
fuel
pumps
are
protected
