SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a constant speed gas turbine engine.
It is located in the unpressurized tail cone. The APU is a self-contained
unit, which enables the aircraft to be independent of external pneumatic
and electrical power sources.
The constant-speed gas turbine engine drives the accessory gearbox and
a load compressor. The APU provides:
- electrical power for the aircraft systems,
- bleed air for engine starting (MES), air conditioning (ECS) and wing
anti ice testing on ground (not GTCP 36-300),
- bleed air for air conditioning and pressurization in flight until the
specified manufacturer limit.
The APU is designed to operate throughout the entire flight envelope.
Electrical power is available whenever the APU operates, but bleed air
is shut off above the specified manufacturer limit.
The APU has an air intake flap. The intake flap is open when the APU
master switch is selected ON and closes when the master switch is selected
OFF. When open, it provides air to the APU inlet for combustion and
pneumatic supply.

SERVICING
APU OIL SERVICING
APU oil servicing is accomplished on an "as-needed" basis or after
scheduled oil quantity checks. The oil indicating system shows if the
oil quantity is sufficient or if an oil servicing is necessary.
The oil level information is displayed on the EIS and the Multipurpose
Control & Display Units (MCDUs) in the cockpit on:
- the APU page on the lower ECAM display unit (LOW OIL LEVEL
advisory),
- the APU SERVICE DATA page on the MCDU, indicating APU
OIL Level O.K. or LOW.
NOTE: Note: The advisory appears on the ECAM APU page when
the oil level has reached the ADD mark on the APU oil tank.
Airbus recommends servicing the APU oil at the next daily
maintenance when the LOW OIL LEVEL message comes on. With
no oil leakage, sufficient oil is available to allow a further 10 hours
of APU operation.
Prior to servicing, shut down the APU and open the APU cowl doors.
Make sure to use the operator approved oil for servicing (operators
may select from the approved list). The oil may be serviced by the
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49BA000000001
gravity (most common) or pressure fill procedure (optional).

Gravity procedure:
- Open the lock and slowly loosen the oil filler cap to release remaining
pressure from the oil reservoir,
- Check sight glass for level,
- Slowly add oil until the level is at the FULL mark on the sight glass.
Pressure fill procedure:
- Check sight glass for level,
- Connect pressure and overfill lines to APU gearbox,
- Slowly pump oil into the gearbox until the level is at the FULL mark
on the sight glass.

MEL/DEACTIVATION
In case of an APU inlet actuator failure, the APU may be dispatched per
MEL with the inlet OPEN or CLOSED. The APU will only be operational
with the inlet deactivated OPEN (for a maximum of 10 days).
The air inlet actuator is equipped with a manual drive. In case of failure
the manual drive may be used to move the inlet to the required position
prior to deactivation. There are 2 different actuators that may be installed.
One requires 47 turns of the manual drive for one full travel of the inlet.
The other requires 87 turns. Access to the actuator is through an access
door near the APU inlet on the right hand side of the fuselage.
Deactivation procedure:
- get access to the actuator,
- disconnect the actuator electrical connector from the fixed connector
on the frame and install a blanking cap,
- use the manual drive to move the inlet to the required position. Use a
torque wrench to avoid damaging the actuator.
If the inlet is deactivated CLOSED, no further action is needed other than
to placard the APU inoperative. If the inlet is deactivated OPEN, the
following procedure has to be accomplished.
When the inlet is in the OPEN position, a jumper lead needs to be installed
to close the circuit and allow the APU to start. Make a dummy connector
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49BA000000001
and paint it red for easy identification.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
The APU fuel supply line is equipped with a drain and vent valve which
enables the line to be purged of air after maintenance. The drain valve is
located in the APU compartment in the fuel supply line to the fuel control.
A switch labeled FUEL VENT PUSH is installed on the APU
compartment forward firewall to allow maintenance to operate the APU
fuel pump and purge the fuel line from the APU compartment. This switch
allows the APU pump to operate and the APU Low Pressure fuel valve
to open without the APU Master Switch ON.
A drain valve adapter tool is connected to the drain valve.
On the front firewall of the APU compartment:
- Push and hold the FUEL VENT pushbutton switch. At the APU fuel
vent and drain valve, a continuous flow of fuel indicates that the APU
fuel pump is operating and the line is purged,
- Release the FUEL VENT pushbutton switch. The flow of fuel stops
when the APU fuel pump stops running,
- Disconnect the adapter tool.

STARTER CONTROL
During starting, the electrical starter causes initial rotation of the Auxiliary
Power Unit (APU) shaft when it drives the Accessory Gearbox (AGB).
When the APU speed is around 50%, the Electronic Control Box (ECB)
stops the electrical supply to the starter by opening the main start
contactor.
IGNITION CONTROL
The ignition system causes initial light-off of the fuel air mixture. The
ignition system includes an ignition box that energizes an igniter plug.
During starting, the ECB switches the ignition to ON between 0% and
60%. When the APU speed drops below 95% due to a flame-out, the
ECB starts the ignition until the APU reaches again 100% of speed.

APU FUEL SYSTEM D/O (3)

GENERAL
The fuel system supplies metered fuel to sustain combustion. Part of the
fuel, as muscle pressure, operates the Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) actuator
and the surge control valve actuator. This system is made of:
- Fuel Control Unit (FCU),
- fuel schedule,
- muscle pressure,
- fuel shut-off,
- flow divider and solenoid valve,
- fuel supply,
- fuel drain,
- control,
- monitoring.
CONTROL
The ECB controls the fuel system with several parameters. During
on-speed operation, the ECB uses APU speed, Exhaust Gas
Temperature (EGT) and aircraft demand signals. During start, it uses
speed, EGT, air inlet pressure and temperature sensors (P2 and T2).
The ECB operates the fuel metering valve, the flow divider solenoid
valve and the 3-way shut-off solenoid valve.

FUEL CONTROL UNIT
The FCU has six functions:
- fuel filtering,
- pressure increase,
- fuel metering,
- flow meter control,
- positive fuel shut-off,
- fuel muscle pressure regulation.
The FCU is made of a LP inlet fuel filter, a High Pressure (HP) fuel
pump, a pump relief valve, a HP fuel filter, an actuator pressure regulator
for hydraulic fuel operation, a torque-motor metering valve, a resistance
temperature device, a delta pressure regulator, a flow-meter pressurizing
valve, a fuel-shutoff solenoid valve.
Fuel filter replacement is recommended every 8500 Flight Hours.

MUSCLE PRESSURE
Additionally fuel muscle pressure 250 psig operates the surge control
valve actuator for air release to the exhaust and the load-compressor IGV
actuator. Servo fuel return goes back to the pump inlet.
FUEL DRAIN
The drain lines are connected to the FCU seal drain.
The IGV actuator and surge control valve are routed to one single drain
connection, on the APU drain bracket (FWD R/H side of APU).
From the Actuator Pressure Regulator fuel flow continues to the Metering
Module and in parallel to the inlet of the Differential Pressure Regulation
Valve
Any residual fuel pressure inside the fuel metering module is drained by
the relief valve to a drain line common with the shaft seal drain.

FUEL SCHEDULE
The Electronic Control Box (ECB) controls the fuel-metering valve
through a torque motor.
The ECB:
- schedules fuel flow during start sequence, on-speed operation and
shutdown sequence,
- refers to information on the flowmeter pressurizing valve to correct fuel
flow and in relation to the fuel temperature (resistance-temperature device
signal),
- modulates the on-speed fuel schedule to agree with the aircraft demand
for bleed air and electrical power.

FUEL SHUT-OFF
The ECB controls the fuel 3-way solenoid valve for positive fuel shut-off.
The valve is controlled open during the start sequence and closed during
the stop sequence. Fuel goes back to the pump inlet.
FLOW DIVIDER AND SOLENOID VALVE

The flow divider supplies fuel in sequence to the primary and secondary
manifolds. It has a usually open fuel solenoid and a check valve. During
cold start or high altitude operation, the ECB energizes the solenoid valve
to close during the first 30% speed of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
and all fuel flow is pushed through the primary nozzles for better engine
acceleration.
FUEL SUPPLY
Two fuel manifolds and 10 dual fuel-nozzles supply fuel. Each fuel-nozzle

SUPPLY
A three-element gerotor pressure pump pulls the oil from the sump. A
pressure-regulating valve and ultimate-relief valve assembly keeps a
constant lube supply pressure for oil supply to the engine and generator
and prevents over-pressurization of the lube system.
Pressure-regulated oil goes through a cooler and a disposable filter. The
bypass valve opens at an oil temperature below 60C (140 F) or when
there is a differential pressure between 55 - 60 psi around the oil cooler.
The oil is then sent to the cooling fan splines, the APU spline shaft, the
APU supporting bearings rear and front, the gearbox pinions and the
electrical AC generator.

APU NORMAL SHUTDOWN
When the MASTER SW is OFF, the ECB closes the IGVs to the minimum
position of 15, the load control valve closes if it is open, the surge control
valve opens and the cool-down cycle of the APU starts.
The cool-down cycle lets the APU operate for 60 seconds at a low
stabilized temperature. It starts when the ECB receives the closed signal
from the load control valve. If the load control valve was not in the open
position, the APU shuts down immediately.
During every normal shutdown the ECB tests its overspeed protection
circuit by simulating an overspeed condition, which causes the 3-way
shut-off solenoid in the Fuel Control Unit to close, and thereby starts the
APU roll-down.
It is possible to command an APU re-start during the shutdown sequence.
APU speed must be below 7% before the starter motor is re-engaged.

APU IGNITION & STARTING D/O (3)

STARTER CONTROL
The starting system drives the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) rotor through
a clutch and gearbox. When the APU speed is 55% rpm, the start logic
of the Electronic Control Box (ECB) cuts off the supply to the start
contactors, which switch off the starter motor. The timed acceleration
loop of the ECB causes the APU to accelerate to reach the governed
speed.
IGNITION CONTROL
The ignition system is used to ignite and maintain combustion during the
start phase. The ignition system includes:
- an ignition unit,
- two ignition leads,
- two igniter plugs.
The ignition system operates from initial crank up to 55% rpm.

GENERAL
The fuel system provides metered fuel to sustain combustion. Part of the
fuel is used as muscle pressure to operate the Inlet Guide Vane (IGV)
actuator and the bleed control valve actuator.
FCU
The Fuel Control Unit (FCU) has five functions:
- fuel filtering,
- pressure increase,
- fuel metering,
- positive fuel shut-off,
- fuel muscle pressure regulation.
The FCU is composed of a Low Pressure (LP) fuel pump, a filter with a
filter by-pass valve and a Differential Pressure Indicator (DPI), a High
Pressure (HP) fuel pump with a pressure relief valve, a constant
Differential Pressure (DELTA P) valve, a pressure regulator for the bleed
control valve and the IGV actuators, a fuel servovalve, and the 3-way
solenoid valve. A FCU drain line purges the pump shaft seal.

APU START
FUEL PRESSURE
As the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is started the fuel coming from
the aircraft fuel system flows through the Low Pressure (LP) pump,
through a filter to the High Pressure (HP) pump.
If the filter becomes contaminated, the impending filter bypass will
be indicated by the Differential Pressure Indicator (DPI). When the
filter is blocked the by-pass valve will open. The HP pump has a
pressure relief valve to cut off excessive pressure peaks.

APU START (continued)
ECB FUNCTIONS
During the APU start, the Electronic Control Box (ECB) energizes
the 3-way solenoid valve and the Torque Motor (TM) of the fuel servo
valve. The fuel, pressurized by the HP pump, then flows through the
servo valve and through the 3-way solenoid valve to the flow divider.
The ECB schedules fuel flow for start sequence, on speed operation
and shutdown sequence. The ECB modulates the on-speed fuel
schedule to match the A/C demand for bleed air and electrical load.

FUEL SCHEDULE
From the HP pump, the fuel also flows to the pressure regulator. The
fuel muscle pressure is used to operate the bleed control valve actuator,
for the air delivery to the A/C and the air discharge to the exhaust,
and for the load compressor IGV actuator. Servo fuel is returned
downstream to the LP pump outlet and upstream to the fuel filter inlet.

DELTA PRESSURE VALVE
The constant Differential Pressure (DELTA P) valve lets excessive
fuel from the HP pump flow back to the filter inlet and maintains a
constant pressure difference across the servo valve.

FLOW DIVIDER
The flow divider and drain valve assembly divides the fuel between
the pilot and main injectors. During the start sequence, the pilot
injector valve opens when the fuel pressure reaches 20 psi to initially
supply the 3 pilot fuel injectors.
As the fuel pressure increases, the main injector valve opens and fuel
is supplied to the 6 main fuel injectors. When the APU is running, the
two valves are in the open position to supply all injectors.
The ECB controls the fuel system using several parameters. During
the start sequence, it uses APU speed, Exhaust Gas Temperature
(EGT), air inlet pressure and temperature. During steady-state
operation the ECB uses the speed only.

When the APU shutdown is initiated, the ECB de-energizes the 3-way
solenoid valve for positive fuel shut-off. Fuel is returned to the fuel
filter inlet. The fuel supply to the fuel injectors is cut off.

GENERAL
STORAGE
The sump of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) accessory gearbox is
the oil reservoir. The accessory gearbox sump contains 5.2 l (1.4 US
gal) of oil. On the left hand side of the gearbox, a gravity fill port is
installed with a scupper to drain spilled oil. The gearbox has:
- a pressure fill port,
- an overflow port,
- a sight glass.
PROTECTION
The ECB 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 ECB initiates an automatic APU
shutdown without time delay.
- gearbox High Oil Temperature (HOT) threshold: 135C (275F),
- AC generator high oil temp: 180C (356F),
- Low Oil Pressure (LOP): 35 psi.
MONITORING
The oil system is monitored to increase the APU life. Lube and
scavenge filters have visual clogging indicators. The oil sump has a
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49D5000000003
low level sensor to show maintenance information in the cockpit.

When the level is at the "ADD" mark 4l (1 US gal) the APU is able
to continue running for at least 60 hours. A magnetic drain plug,
immersed in the APU oil, is used for the oil drainage from the sump
and attracts ferrous metal particles. Two Differential Pressure (DELTA
P) switches, one for the scavenge filter and a second one for the
pressure filter are use for the ECB in case of clogging situation and
an APU auto shutdown is triggered.

SUPPLY
The oil is drawn from the sump and pressurized by a vane-type pressure
pump. The pressurized oil goes through a cooler and a disposable filter.
If the pump pressure is too high, a pressure relief valve opens and releases
oil back to the pump inlet.
The oil is then directed to the gears and bearings of the accessory gearbox,
the load compressor front bearing, the power section rear bearing and
the electrical generator.

Oil from the electrical generator and the APU rear bearing is returned to
the sump by two scavenge pumps. The oil from the AC generator returns
to the sump through a vane-type scavenge pump and a filter. The oil from
the APU rear bearing returns to the sump through a scavenge pump. Oil
from the gearbox pinions and the APU front bearing is scavenged by
gravity.

STEADY STATE
In steady state the ECB controls the speed, the load compressor operation,
and monitors the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT).
SPEED CONTROL
This function keeps the rotation speed of the APU rotating assembly
constant, whatever the load applied. This is achieved by metering the
fuel flow, which varies with the air inlet pressure and temperature.
LOAD COMPRESSOR CONTROL
This function opens the Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) according to the
bleed air demand from the A/C, ECS or MES. Protection against load
compressor surge is achieved by controlling and reading the position
of the bleed control valve, according to the inlet temperature, and
differential and discharge pressure signals of the load compressor
(DELTA P/P ratio). If the ECB detects a surge condition, the bleed
control valve is positioned to discharge air to the exhaust.
NOTE: 1: In case of failure of the load compressor control, the IGVs

are closed and the bleed control valve is fully opened to
discharge.
2: In case of detected reverse flow operation, the APU is
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49D7000000003
automatically shut down by the ECB.

EGT CONTROL
This function avoids APU over temperature by controlling the Inlet
Guide Vane (IGV) position to closed. Thus, the pneumatic load is
first reduced to give priority to the electrical load. This is achieved
by controlling the position of the IGVs to the closed position as a
function of the EGT as long as the over temperature condition is
present.
NOTE: In case of IGV control failure, the IGVs are closed.

temperature before normal shutdown.
NORMAL SHUTDOWN
An APU normal shutdown is initiated when the MASTER SW P/B is
released out. If the APU bleed air is not selected, the APU shuts down
immediately. The normal shutdown signal stops the fuel supply. This
causes the APU to decelerate. The AVAIL indication goes off and the
AC generator de-energizes. When the speed is less than 90% rpm, the
gearbox de-oil solenoid valve opens. When the speed is less than 7%
rpm, the air intake flap is controlled to fully close and the de-oiling
solenoid valve is de-energized to close.

INTRODUCTION
The Auxiliary Power International Corporation (APIC) APS-3200 APU
provides the aircraft with an independent source of pneumatic and
electrical power, which can be used during flight and ground operations.
The APU is installed in a fireproof compartment located in the aircraft
tail cone. Access for servicing and maintenance is provided by two doors.
The APU is controlled and monitored by a Full Authority Digital Engine
Control (FADEC) type Electronic Control Box (ECB). The ECB is located
on the right side of the aft cargo compartment. It transmits the APU
operational and maintenance data to the Electronic Centralized Aircraft
Monitoring (ECAM) system. The data is displayed on the ECAM display.
This is the Auxiliary Power International APS-3200 APU. It supplies the
aircraft pneumatic system with compressed air for engine starting and
air conditioning and it provides the power to drive an AC electrical
generator, which supplies the aircraft electrical buses. All of the following
component location references are clockwise from the rear looking
forward. The APU is comprised of three major assemblies and their
components. The major assemblies are:
- the power section, which includes a single stage centrifugal flow
compressor, an annular reverse flow combustion chamber, a two-stage
axial flow turbine and the exhaust case,
- the load compressor, which comprises a centrifugal compressor, a
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49P3000000002
diffuser, and a row of Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs),

- the Accessory Gearbox (AGB).
The power section drives the load compressor and the Accessory Gearbox
via a single shaft. The load compressor supplies compressed air to the
aircraft pneumatic system. The Accessory Gearbox is installed on the
front flange of the load compressor case. It is driven by a quill shaft from
the front of the load compressor. It provides support and gear reduction
power for the accessories and serves as the oil system reservoir.

GEARBOX ACCESSORIES
The APU generator is mounted near the three o'clock position on the
Accessory Gearbox. It produces 3-phase AC electrical power to supply
the aircraft electrical buses. The control and monitoring signals are
transmitted from the aircraft systems through a quick disconnected
electrical connector. The generator will be removed to improve viewing
access to the remaining accessories and components. The cooling fan
assembly is mounted at the 12 o'clock position on the Accessory Gearbox.
It contains a Permanent Magnetic Generator (PMG), which provides the
Electronic Control Box with an interrupt DC power supply and a backup
over speed protection signal. The cooling air supply duct may be removed
to provide access to the cooling fan, which may be used to turn the
rotating assembly for maintenance inspections. The starter is located at
the 10 o'clock position on the front of the Accessory Gearbox. It is
operated by a 28 volt DC power supply, which is controlled by the
Electronic Control Box. It is equipped with a brushwear indicator for
condition monitoring. The Fuel Control Unit (FCU) is installed on the
front of the Accessory Gearbox near the 9 o'clock position. It supplies
high-pressure metered fuel for combustion and servo fuel to operate the
Inlet Guide Vane actuator and the bleed control valve. The oil pump unit
is installed on the front of the Accessory Gearbox near the 8 o'clock
position. It contains one oil supply pump and two oil scavenge pumps.

GEARBOX COMPONENTS
The oil level is monitored by the oil level sensor installed at the 3 o'clock
position on the right side of the Accessory Gearbox. If the oil level is
low, it will be indicated on the ECAM display during the start cycle. Two
oil filters are installed on the front of the Accessory Gearbox, the engine
oil supply filter and the generator oil scavenge filter. Both filters are
monitored by visual clog indicators and differential pressure switches.
If the pressure increases to a specific value, the ECB conducts an
automatic shutdown and transmits a maintenance message to the aircraft
centralized maintenance system. The oil system is protected from
overpressure by an oil pressure relief valve installed at the 6 o'clock
position on the front of the Accessory Gearbox. The adjacent magnetic
drain plug is used for oil system monitoring and maintenance operations.
The oil reservoir is serviced at the left side of the APU through the gravity
fill cap or through the pressure fill and overflow connectors. A sight gage
verifies the oil quantity. The oil system de-prime valve is installed at the
9 o'clock position on the Accessory Gearbox. It is opened during the start
cycle to reduce the load on the oil supply pump and during the shutdown
cycle to stop the oil flow.

OIL SYSTEM
The oil pump unit supplies oil to the oil bypass valve, which is installed
on the front of the oil cooler. If the oil is cool, it flows through the bypass
valve to the oil filter. If the oil is hot, it flows through the oil cooler to
the oil filter. The oil temperature is monitored by the High Oil
Temperature (HOT) sensor installed at the 6 o'clock position on the rear
of the Accessory Gearbox. The oil pressure is monitored by the Low Oil
Pressure (LOP) switch installed on the lower right hand side of the
Accessory Gearbox at the 3 o'clock position. The Electronic Control Box
uses temperature and pressure data for protective shutdowns during
specific operating conditions.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel supply from the aircraft is delivered to the Fuel Control Unit
(FCU) inlet. It is filtered by a fuel filter installed on the Fuel Control Unit
housing. The filter condition is monitored by a clog indicator. The fuel
flows internally through the high pressure pump to the fuel pressure
regulator and the servo valve. The pressure pump is protected by a
pressure relief valve. The fuel pressure regulator supplies servo fuel to
operate the Inlet Guide Vane actuator and the bleed control valve. The
Fuel Control Unit servo valve regulates the fuel flow to the power section.
The fuel flow is controlled by the 3-way solenoid valve. The servo valve
and the 3-way solenoid valve are controlled by the Electronic Control
Box. When the 3-way solenoid valve is opened, the metered fuel is
supplied to the fuel flow divider located at the 9 o'clock position on the
turbine case. The flow divider distributes the fuel to the two fuel
manifolds. During the initial start sequence, fuel is supplied to the three
pilot fuel injectors through the pilot injectors manifold. When the fuel
pressure increases to a specific value, fuel is supplied to the six main fuel
injectors through the main injector manifold. When the APU is running,
all of the fuel injectors are supplied with fuel. When the APU is stopped,
the residual fuel from the pilot fuel injectors and the manifold is purged
through the APU exhaust. The combustion chamber is drained through
the combustion chamber drain valve installed at the 6 o'clock position
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49P3000000002
on the combustion case. The drain valve is connected to the drain system
manifold, which drains fluids from the air bypass plenum and the actuator
and pump sealed drain areas to the drain system interface plate located
at the 5 o'clock position on the right side of the APU.

FUEL SYSTEM
49 - APU Page 177

AIR SYSTEM
The air inlet plenum supplies air to the power section compressor, the
load compressor and the cooling fan. The airflow to the power section is
used for combustion. The airflow is monitored by the load compressor
inlet pressure/temperature sensor installed on the rear of the air inlet
plenum near the 3 o'clock position. The data is used for fuel metering
control and load compressor control. The airflow to the load compressor
is controlled by a row of internal Inlet Guide Vanes. The Inlet Guide
Vanes are operated by the Inlet Guide Vane actuator located at the 3
o'clock position on the load compressor case. The Inlet Guide Vane
actuator is operated by servo fuel supplied from the Fuel Control Unit
pressure regulator. It is controlled by a servo valve. The actuator is
connected to the operating rod by a quick release pin. The Inlet Guide
Vanes position is monitored by an internal linear transducer. The load
compressor discharge air pressure data is used for airflow control. The
pressure is monitored by the load compressor discharge pressure sensor
installed on the front of the air inlet plenum near the 3 o'clock position.
The air supply from the load compressor is controlled by the bleed control
valve. The butterfly-type valve is installed on the compressor outlet scroll
at the 4 o'clock position. It is operated by a fuel servo actuator. The servo
fuel is supplied from the Fuel Control Unit pressure regulator and
controlled by a servo valve. The bleed valve position is indicated by a
U7Z08431 - u4LT0T0 - UM49P3000000002
visual position indicator and monitored by an internal linear transducer.

The bleed control valve supplies air to the aircraft pneumatic system on
demand. When the APU is shut down, it vents the unused air to the APU
exhaust. Air from the plenum is ducted to the gearbox mounted cooling
fan. The fan supplies air to the APU compartment and to the oil cooler.

IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition exciter is mounted on the left side of the air inlet plenum at
the 8 o'clock position. The high voltage capacitor and discharge unit
supplies the two igniter plugs through the igniter cables. The igniter plugs
are installed in the combustion chamber case at the 5 and 9 o'clock
positions. The ignition cycle is controlled by the Electronic Control Box.

INDICATING AND RECORDING SYSTEM
The APU rotational speed is measured by two speed sensors. They are
installed in the ducting gear case at the 4 and 7 o'clock positions. The
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is measured by two thermocouple rakes
installed in the exhaust case at the 4 and 7 o'clock positions. The speed
and temperature data is monitored by the Electronic Control Box and
displayed on the ECAM display. The engine identification module is
mounted on a bracket on the left side of the air inlet plenum near the 3
o'clock position. The resistor-type module transmits the APU serial
number to the Electronic Control Box.

CONTROL AND MONITORING
The APU is controlled and monitored by a Full Authority Digital Engine
Control type Electronic Control Box. The Electronic Control Box is
located on the right side of the aft cargo compartment. It records the APU
serial number, the operating hours, the cycles and other condition
monitoring parameters. It serves as a maintenance interface with the
aircraft Central Maintenance System (CMS) for fault reporting and
troubleshooting operations.

SUMMARY
The APU serves as an integral part of the aircraft systems. It enhances
the operations of the aircraft by providing an independent source of
pneumatic and electrical power, which can be used in flight for
emergencies or for extended-range operations, and on the ground to
permit the aircraft to operate independently of ground facilities and
services. Some of the components that were identified are Line
Replaceable Units (LRUs). Please consult the appropriate maintenance
manual for additional information.

APU ACCESS DOOR OPENING PROCEDURE
In the cockpit, open the APU C/Bs. Position a work stand suitable to
reach the A/C under the APU compartment. The APU doors are secured
by a total of seven latches, five latches secure the left door and two latches
secure the right door. The LH door must be opened first to gain access
to the latches for the RH door. Start by releasing the three quick-release
fasteners at the bottom of the doors. Next, hold the door and release the
two latches of the shoot bolts at the two ends of the door. When all latches
have been released, pull the door open and secure with the door support
strut. The strut is stowed at the FWD end of the left door. Release the
strut pip-pin from the door, extend the telescopic strut and secure to the
A/C using the pip-pin. Push the door open until the strut locks are in the
fully extended position. This completes the opening of the LH door. With
the LH door open, the two latches securing the RH door are now visible.
The FWD latch is released. Followed by the rear latch and the door is
ready to be opened. Use the assist handle mounted on the air inlet duct
and swings with the RH door fully open. The door hold-open mechanism
incorporates a counterbalance spring that takes most of the RH door
weight. The door will lock automatically in the door-open position. No
locking pins are necessary to secure the RH door in the open position. A
red colored pip-pin is provided to lock the door hold-open spring
mechanism should it become necessary to remove the door from the A/C.
