    How does a jet engine works ?

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 8


    FADEC

    ᴭ Means Full Authority Digital Engine Control


    ᴭ A system consisting of digital computer called
    EEC
    ᴭ Can be used both for jet and piston engine
    ᴭ Consists of HMU, sensors, EEC
    ᴭ Can be installed only on a fuel-injected engine
    that eliminating carburetors

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 9


    FADEC

    ᴭ Engine is controlled based on temperature and


    pressure
    ᴭ Maintains the fuel/air ratio
    ᴭ Commercial and military engines, missiles, UAV

    Historical Background

     Digital electronic controls on aircraft engines


    began in the late 1960's
     In 1968 Rolls-Royce and Elliott Brothers introduced
    first digital engine controlled engine that is JT9D
    engine applied on B767, A300 and A310 airplanes.
     1970's Pratt & Whitney began to develop
    electronic controls for commercial engines

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 15


    Operations of a FADEC system

    • Controls the ignition spark


    • Controls the fuel to air mixture of the engine
    • Engine acceleration to idle speed during start
    • Acceleration and deceleration limiting
    • Minimum approach idle speeds during descents
    • Selection of alternative power modes
    • Monitors cylinder head, manifold and exhaust gas
    temperatures.
    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 16
    Parts of FADEC system

    • Two Master Power Control Units


    • Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
    • Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor
    • Fuel Pressure Sensors
    • Health Status Annunciator(HSA)
    • Fuel Injection System

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 17


    Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

    • Brain of the Engine Control System


    • ECU divided into two part.
    – Lower portion
    – Upper portion
    • Lower portion contains the Electronic Circuit Board
    that processes all data
    • Upper portion contains the ignition coils for the
    spark plugs
    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 18
    ECU (cont.)

    • Lower portion contains two independent


    microprocessor controllers which serve as
    control channels

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 19


    Purpose of ECU

    • receive the sensor inputs and monitor any


    changes
    • precisely trim the fuel/air ratio
    • control fuel injection and ignition timing

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 20


    Master Power control

    • Centralize the primary electrical controls


    for general aviation aircraft

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 21


    Manifold Temperature And
    Pressure sensor

    CHT Sensor

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 22


    EGT Sensors

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 23


    Fuel pressure sensor (FPS)

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 24


    Low Voltage Harness

    • Connects all essential components of FADEC


    • Fuel Injector Coils and all sensors (except Speed
    Sensors Assembly, Fuel Pressure, Manifold
    Pressure) are hardwired to the low voltage
    harness
    • All information from sensors will flow to the
    Electronic Control Units for data processing and
    analysis
    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 25
    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 26
    Health Status Annunciator (HSA)
    HSA lights

    • Consists of (5) lights on panel and WOT


    • HSA will not give you a warning or caution light
    for OIL temp/pressure or ALT FAIL
    • FADEC WARN: Engine Failure may be imminent,
    more than one cylinder is affected
    • FADEC CAUTION: 99.99% of installed
    components are working

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 28


    HSA Lights (contd.)

    • PPWR FAIL: Primary Battery is not being charged,


    ill e a o pa ied y EBAT FAIL…you ill start
    draining both batteries and have at least 60
    minutes to land. Your secondary battery will
    only power FADEC
    • EBAT FAIL: Backup Battery not being charged,
    everything can run from Primary Power
    Source/Battery

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 29


    HSA Lights (contd.)

    • FUEL PUMP: illuminates when Fuel Boost Pump


    Mode Switch is in ON or OFF
    • WOT: below HSA panel. Illuminates when
    Throttle Position Switch is contacted (full
    throttle), signal sent to ECU that max power is
    required which causes FADEC to set fuel to air
    ratio for Best Power

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 30


    FADEC Sensors

    These sensors are used to maintain a stable engine


    performance. Here I have shown Airbus A-320 engine
    sensors.

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 31


    Control of Ignition system

    • FADEC system schedules the spark timing and


    the intensity using two MPC units
    • Two high voltage terminals on each spark
    transformer
    • Spark transformers are controlled by
    microproccessor.

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 32


    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 33
    Control of Fuel Injection System

    • FADEC schedules the amount of fuel and the


    injection timing for the multi-port fuel injectors
    • The Fuel Injection System is composed of:
    – An engine-driven Fuel Pump
    – Fuel Distribution Block and fuel lines
    – Solenoid-controlled Fuel Injection Nozzles

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 34


    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 35
    Control of Electrical System

    • FADEC system requires two independent power


    sources.
    • FADEC connections supply operating data to HSA
    panel and the optional Engine Performance
    Display

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 39


    Advantages

    • Run the engine in optimal condition for less


    fuel consumption
    • Single lever control - less pilot workload
    • Easier and cleaner installation
    • Extra safety features

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 40


    Advantages (contd.)

    • Engine-related issues during takeoff


    – MEASTO

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 41


    Limitation

    • FADEC does ’t pro ide a y a ual o erride


    since it takes over the engine completely
    • In case of emergency, the system becomes
    highly unreliable

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 42


    Accident

    • On 2 June 1994 at about 18:00 hours Scotland


    RAF Chinook (CH-47) crash occurred
    • There was FADEC malfunction.
    • Rotors got over speed (one rotor got more fuel
    than other one)
    • Controls are jammed

    FADEC-Full Authority Digital Engine Control 43


    This accident caused 25 passengers & 4
    crews
