    The APU consists of a 2-stage compressor and turbine that is fueled from the left fuel manifold. During startup, fuel is heated to prevent icing and the solenoid valve is opened by an oil pressure switch. Limits include 2 starts per hour in flight and 4 per hour on ground. Acceleration to 50% RPM must occur within 90 seconds or it will shutdown, and it must reach 37% RPM with 55 PSI oil pressure or it will shutdown. The APU can provide pneumatic and electrical power from 0-10,000 feet, pneumatic or electrical from 10,000-17,000 feet, and just electrical up to 35,000 feet. It has maximum air demand, fuel consumption

    B737-200A APU

    The APU consists of a 2-stage compressor and a turbine. APU fuel is suction fed from the LH Fuel Manifold and is automatically heated to prevent icing. During start-up, the fuel solenoid valve is opened by an oil pressure switch. APU Starting limits: 2 starts/hr : in-flight 4 starts/hr : on the ground (all starts after the 2nd start to be monitored by ground personnel in the event of a fire).
    @ 110% rpm overspeed auto shutdown cannot restart

    Pneumatics & Electrics Either Pneumatics or Electrics Only Electrics. Max altitude for APU start-up

    APU max air demand: 90 lbs/min on the ground (restricted by APU bleed valve). 80 lbs/min in the air. APU fuel consumption: 90 kg/hr (no load) 115 kg/hr (under load) APU bleed valve is an electro-pneumatically operated solenoid valve. When electrical load and bleed air extraction combine to raise the EGT above acceptable levels, the bleed air valve will modulate towards the closed position. In the event of an EGT overtemp, the bleed air valve will close rapidly but the APU will continue to run. APU turbine speed: @ 100% RPM: 41,800 RPM @ 110% RPM: 46,000 RPM (overspeed shutdown) APU generator speed @ 100% RPM: 6,000 RPM APU generators rating: 40 KVA in-flight (can only supply one of the Gen Buses) 45 KVA on the ground. APU will automatically shut down for: Low oil pressure High oil temp (157C) Overspeed (110% or 46,000 RPM) Fire indication Battery switched OFF. APU oil tank capacity: 1.5 US Gal.
