CHAPTER 5
AUXILIARY POWER UNIT
GENERAL
This APU is a gas turbine equipped with a gearbox driving an oil-
cooled 30-kva AC generator. Running at 100% rpm, the APU drives
the AC electrical generator at a constant speed of 12,000 rpm. This
maintains generator frequency output at 400 Hz. The APU’s bleed
port supplies pneumatic power to drive the main engine air turbine
starters or the air cycle machines within the air conditioning packs.
The APU is in the rear fuselage behind the rear pressure bulkhead
(Figure 5-1) and can operate on the ground or in flight. Drains in the
APU enclosure prevent a dangerous buildup of combustible liquids.
An electronic control unit (ECU) controls starting and ignition.
Pressurized oil is supplied to the APU gearbox, bearings, and elec-
trical generator.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A full-authority, digital, electronic-control unit (ECU) controls and
monitors APU operation. A PWR FUEL switchlight and a
START/STOP switchlight are located on the APU control panel on
the cockpit overhead panel. These switchlights control APU starting
and manual stopping.
POWERPLANT
The self-contained APU requires only a source of fuel and DC electrical
power to operate. Start and stop controls are located on the APU control
panel on the cockpit overhead panel. APU indications, cautions, and
warnings display on the EICAS primary and secondary displays. The
powerplant mounts in a fire containing enclosure equipped with inlet
and exhaust ports

Enclosure
An APU enclosure creates a fire zone, isolates the APU from the aft
equipment compartment, and prevents damage to the aircraft should
a fire occur. The bottom of the enclosure is connected to a drain sys-
tem to prevent the buildup of fluids in the container.
Air Inlet and Exhaust Port

The APU air inlet is located on the upper left side of the rear fuselage
and connected to the APU by an inlet-duct assembly. A variable-posi-
tion inlet door, controlled by the ECU, is installed in the inlet. The
APU electronic unit controls the operation of the air intake door
according to an airplane pressure altitude and true airspeed schedule
(Figure 5-2).
The potentiometer provides inlet door position information to the

ECU. The EICAS secondary display then presents inlet door posi-
tion messages on the status page based on ECU-supplied
information. Ducts vent APU exhaust through a port below the right
engine.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT

A full-authority digital ECU controls the APU engine. The system
has manual and automatic controls to start, stop, and maintain the
APU within safe operating limits. The ECU automatically stops the
APU for specific failure conditions.
Manual APU control is needed for fuel supply selection,

START/STOP switchlight operation, and load selection.
FUEL CONTROL
Under normal conditions, both the left and right aircraft fuel tanks
supply the APU with fuel. A 28-VDC electric fuel pump supplies
pressurized fuel. The APU electric fuel pump is also the power
crossflow pump and can perform both operations simultaneously.
The APU fuel supply is interrupted by the following:

●
START/STOP switch on the overhead panel in the cockpit
●
APU FIRE PUSH switchlight on the glareshield in the
cockpit
●
ECU automatic close signal
5-4 Revision 1—January 2003

PNEUMATIC SUPPLY
Modulation of the APU load control valve (APU LCV), and the
position of the compressor’s variable diffusers, control APU pneu-
matic 10th-stage bleed air output (Figure 5-3). During bleed
loading, LCV opening modulates to limit turbine temperatures. The
system gives priority to AC generator load in the event of a com-
bined generator/pneumatic power overload condition.
The APU compressor is protected against surge, by altering the

position of the compressor’s variable diffusers, which is controlled
by the valve signals to the APU ECU. In flight, during minimum
bleed conditions with a full AC generator load, the diffuser is posi-
tioned closed. During ground operation and maximum bleed
conditions, the diffuser is positioned fully open.
The APU compressor is also protected from a stall or surge, by

interlocking the APU LCV switch with the other bleed-air switches.
If the left hand 10th stage bleed-air switch is open, the APU LCV
will close, or remain closed. If the 10th stage isolation valve switch
and the right hand engine bleed air switch are open, the APU LCV
will close, or remain closed.

systems (ECS) page presents bleed supply pressure indications.
FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

The APU enclosure has a fire warning and extinguishing system. If a
fire occurs in the enclosure, the following occur:
●
APU FIRE indications display on the engine indication and
crew alerting system (EICAS)
●
The APU FIRE PUSH light illuminates
●
An audible fire bell sounds (W.O.W. only)
Fire Detection
The fire detection system detects fire conditions and warns the flight
crew. The fire detection system consists of the following compo-
nents (Figure 5-4):
●
Two loop sensing elements
●
Loop selection APU switch on the FIRE DETECTION/FIREX
MONITOR panel
●
One card in the fire/overheat detection control unit
●
TEST WARN/FAIL switch on the FIRE DETECTION/FIREX
MONITOR panel
An APU stop switch in the AC EXTERNAL SERVICE panel per-

mits ground personnel to shut down the APU from outside the
aircraft in an emergency.
Fire Extinguishing
The APU fire extinguishing system discharges a container of fire
extinguishing agent into the APU compartment should a fire occur.

If the aircraft is on the ground, the extinguishing agent automati-

cally discharges. If the aircraft is in flight, the crew must use the
APU FIRE PUSH switchlight and the BOTTLE ARMED PUSH TO
DISCH switchlight to discharge the extinguishing agent.

see Chapter 8, Fire Protection.
OIL SYSTEM
Pressurized oil is supplied to the APU gearbox, APU bearings, and
electrical generator by an integral G-rotor pump. Low oil pressure
(LOP) and high oil temperature (HOT) switches provide system
condition monitoring. Activation of either switch results in APU
shutdown on the ground.
Low-Oil Pressure Switch

A low-oil pressure switch is located in the fuel module housing. The
switch is spring-loaded closed and opens when the pressure
increases to 40 psi. It closes when the pressure decreases to 32 psi.
If the switch is closed for more than ten seconds after APU rpm
reaches 99%, a signal is sent to the ECU and autoshutdown occurs.
High-Oil Temperature Sensor

A high-oil temperature sensor is in the oil reservoir. If the oil tem-
perature is more than 163°C (325°F), the ECU produces an
autoshutdown after a 10-second delay.
IGNITION AND STARTING SYSTEMS

The ignition and starting systems operate together to start the APU.
The battery bus supplies 28 VDC to the starter, through the ignition-
control circuits, which turns the APU rotor. The ignition system
ignites the fuel-air mixture.
A START/STOP switchlight, on the APU control panel in the cock-

pit, operates the starter motor control circuit.APU starting and
ignition is controlled by the APU ECU. The ECU automatically
controls the starter motor operation and the ignition sequence for the
high-energy igniter plugs during APU start.

Start Sequence
At APU start (BATTERY MASTER at ON, PWR FUEL switchlight
operated), the control system does the following:
●
Performs a selftest (APU IN BITE)
●
Opens the fuel shutoff valve (APU SOV OPEN)
●
Energizes the APU gauges
●
Opens the APU inlet door
●
Energizes the starter relay
Operating the START/STOP switchlight energizes the start motor

through the starter relay (APU START), accelerating the engine to
light-off speed. At 10% APU speed, the control system does the
following:
●
Energizes the ignition system
●
Opens the FCU shutoff valve (FCU SOV), providing current
to the FCU torque motor for APU starting operation
During APU acceleration, the control system compares the actual

engine speed against a speed reference which ramps upward from 3
to 6% per second. Fuel flow is controlled until the engine speed
tracks the reference speed. At 50% APU speed, the start motor is
deenergized and the APU START message disappears.
At 95% APU speed, the ignition system is de-energized, and the sys-
tem transitions from timed acceleration to proportional governor
control. The ready-to-load relay is then operated and the APU can
be loaded, the AVAIL light comes on, and the APU SOV OPEN
message disappears. APU bleed air is modulated by the load control
valve to maintain turbine temperatures within limits.

NORMAL STOP SEQUENCE

Normal shutdown occurs when the START/STOP switch is operated
to STOP. An overspeed test signal is generated, the control system
then deenergizes the fuel control torque motor and FCU shutoff
valve solenoid, resulting in shutdown.
EMERGENCY STOP SEQUENCE

To perform an emergency stop of the APU from the cockpit, push
the APU FIRE PUSH switchlight on the glareshield.
To perform an emergency stop of the APU using the AC EXTER-

NAL POWER panel located on the right forward fuselage, push the
APU SHUT-OFF switch.
The ECU executes autoshutdown if certain conditions occur. Any one

of three sources command emergency APU shutdown of the APU:
●
The APU fire pushbutton located on the cockpit glareshield
●
Two remote cutoff switches
●
The automatic fire extinguishing system (only when the air-
craft is on the ground)
CONTROLS AND INDICATIONS

The APU control and indication system consists of the APU control
panel, glareshield switchlights, bleed-air control panel, and the
EICAS display messages (Figure 5-5).
APU CONTROL PANEL

The APU control panel, on the cockpit overhead panel, has two
pushbutton switchlights which control the fuel shutoff valve and the
start and stop operations of the APU. These switchlights are the
PWR FUEL switchlight and the START/STOP switchlight.
