APU ENGINE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2)
System Architecture
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) load gearbox and Accessory GearBox (AGB)
are key elements of both APU lubrication and starting systems.
The load gearbox drives the two generators and the dedicated oil pump
for generator lubrication.
The AGB is driven by the starter and drives the engine oil pumps.
The APU starting system can be energized by the APU battery or from
the A/C DC network (external power for ground operations).
A single APU P/BSW, located on the overhead panel, is used for normal
start and shutdown.
An emergency shutdown may be selected at either the Nose Landing
Gear (NLG) control panel or the Integrated Refuel Panel (IRP).
The APU FIRE P/BSW on the overhead panel would also cause an APU
shutdown, in addition to arming the APU fire extinguisher.
The Electronic Control Box (ECB) controls and monitors APU start,
operation and shutdown (normal and emergency).
During the start sequence, the DC starter will drive the HP shaft of the
APU. The same drive through the AGB will also operate the Fuel Control
Unit (FCU) and the engine oil pump. The starter drive will be maintained
up to 40 % and then, the supply to the ignition system is removed.
The APU has two igniter plugs which are used alternatively for each
APU start, and are supplied by a high energy ignition unit.
The APU shutdown can be classified as normal, automatic or emergency.
During a normal shutdown, the ECB will immediately close the APU
bleed valve, and initiate a cooling period of 60 seconds. The shutdown
sequence is controlled based on time. It controls N1 speed reduction and
Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) opening.
An automatic shutdown occurs following a fault condition. In this case,
ECB has determined that a monitored parameter is outside the acceptable
limits or an APU component operation is not in the required configuration.
On ground, an emergency shutdown will occur immediately following
an APU fire detection. In this case, all APU supplies (fuel and bleed air)
are shut immediately. In flight, the APU shutdown is selected by the
flight crew.
During an automatic or an emergency shutdown, there is no cool down
period.

APU Oil System
The APU has two oil sub-systems:
- the main engine section lubrication,
- and the APU generators lubrication.
Oil for both systems is stored in a single tank, which has separate
compartments for the generator section and the main engine section.
The tank has common filler, which lets the generator section be filled
first, and then the oil flows into the main engine section.
In addition, the oil tank has two external oil level indicators: a sigh glass
for the main engine section and a bulls-eye for the generator section.
NOTE: Note: When checking or replenishing the APU oil system, it is
important to refer to the AMM graph to establish if the oil level
usage against flight hours is within acceptable limits.
The APU is certified for either type 1 or type 2 oils. An oil filling tool is
available for use at the tank.
NOTE: Note: The oil level may also be reported through the service
report, and can be checked as correct through the Central
Maintenance System (CMS).
The APU oil system has filters for both sub-systems. The main engine
section filter is at the AGB and the generator system filter is at the load
gearbox. Both filters have a by-pass and are monitored for clogging.

APU Drain System
An APU overboard drain outlet is installed on the APU door. It is
connected to:
- the AGB drain to collect fuel and oil,
- the starter drain pad for oil,
- the IGV actuator, surge control valve actuator, gas generator and eductor
drains for fuel.
Drains are also installed to drain water from the inlet plenum and the
APU exhaust.
NOTE: Note: Acceptable drain limits are given in the AMM.
Following two or three successive APU shutdown sequences, it is possible
that some drainage can be seen at the APU overboard drain outlet.
After an APU auto-shutdown, the drains should be checked for fuel
drainage. Refer to AMM or TSM for follow-up procedures.

APU BAYS LIGHTS & POWER OUTLETS DESCRIPTION (2)
System Overview
The APU bays have two service lights:
- one High Intensity Discharge (HID) light installed in the tail cone APU
compartment,
- one Light Emitting Diode (LED) light installed in the air intake area of
the APU and its above fireproof compartment.
Each light is composed of:
- a stainless steel housing,
- a glass lens with steel grid cover,
- one electrical connector and,
- two halogen/LED bulbs.
The service light for the tail cone APU compartment is controlled from
a single toggle switch installed on the APU firewall. Whereas the service
light for the air intake area of the APU and its above fireproof
compartment is controlled from a single toggle switch installed in the
fuselage floor of the aircraft section 19, on the LH of the bay access door
(311AB). The system also includes one 28 VDC power outlets to enable
performance of the maintenance tasks in this area. The service lights and
the power outlets are energized from the 28 VDC GND SVCE BUS.
Human factor points:
WARNING: - BE CAREFUL WITH HOT COMPONENTS AND
SURFACES, THERE IS A RISK OF BURNING,
- BE CAREFUL WITH MOVING SURFACES.
CAUTION: - MAKE SURE THAT YOU INSTALL THE CORRECT
LAMPS IN THE APU COMPARTMENT, DO NOT
INSTALL LED TYPE LAMPS BECAUSE THEY ARE
NOT RESISTANT TO HEAT.
