ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM

1. GENERAL
The engine fuel system provides fuel pressurization, filtering, heat exchange and operation of engine
vanes and bleed valves.

2. FUEL PUMP
Fuel supplied by the airplane fuel tanks flows to the engine fuel pumps. Upon exiting the tanks, the fuel
flows through the low-pressure pump and then divides into two paths. One flows through the high-
pressure fuel pump and returns to the fuel tank as motive flow.
The second flows through the fuel/oil heat exchanger to the high-pressure fuel pump. The flow leaves
the pump and passes through the fuel filter. Once filtered, the fuel flows to the FMU.

3. FUEL/OIL HEAT EXCHANGER

The fuel-cooled oil cooler (FCOC) maintains the oil temperature within an acceptable range and heats
the engine fuel to prevent freezing.

4. FUEL METERING UNIT (FMU)

The FMU, controlled by the FADEC, meters and distributes the proper amount of fuel for combustion to
the injectors under all operating conditions. The FMU controls the shutoff valve used during all normal
shutdowns and provides overspeed protection.

5. FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter removes contaminants from the engine fuel. The impending bypass switch indicates fuel
filter blockage and an imminent bypass condition.

6. VARIABLE STATOR VANES

The Variable Stator Vanes sytem consists of two fuel driven actuators controlled by the FADEC via
FMU.
The purpose of the actuators is to optimize the position of the compressor stators as a function of
corrected N2 to provide optimum compressor efficiency.

7. FUEL INJECTORS
The fuel injectors atomize the fuel from the FMU and direct it into the combustion chamber.

Page 12

8. FUEL SCHEMATIC

FUEL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC

LUBRIFICATION SYSTEM

Each engine has an independent lubrication system.

The oil system lubricates and cools the turbine engine main shaft bearings and the accessory gearbox.
Oil is pressurized in the lubrication pump, passes through the filter, passes through the fuel-oil heat
exchanger and is then divided into several circuits to lubricate the engine.

1. OIL TANK
Oil quantity indication is provided for each engine oil tank and is displayed on the MFD.
Sensors in the tank detect low oil quantity and trigger the low oil level caution whenever this occurs.

2. OIL PUMPS
The pump will provide oil flow any time the core engine is turning.
The pump contains five pumping elements, one supply and four scavenge elements.
The lube and scavenge pumps delivers oil under pressure to the engine bearings and gears, and then
recovers the oil to the tank for reuse.

3. OIL FILTER
Oil filter module incorporates a filter bypass and cold start relief valve.
The oil filter bypass valve permits oil flow if the filter becomes clogged. The filter impending bypass
switch monitors the differential pressure at the filter.
The filter module has a relief valve to bypass high viscosity oil during cold start conditions.

1. STARTING SYSTEM
The engine starting system comprises :
• Air turbine starter (ATS),
• Starter air valve (SAV).
The pneumatic system provides bleed air to increase rotor speed and start the engine cycle.
The FADEC opens the Starter Air Valve (SAV), providing bleed air from the APU, a ground source, or
the opposite engine. The Air Turbine Starter (ATS) is a turbine that accelerates the engine to a self-
sustaining RPM level.
The FADEC closes the SAV when the starter cutout speed is reached.

2. IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition system provides an electrical spark for fuel combustion during on ground engine starts, in
flight starts, in flight auto-relights, and when the ignition selector knob is set to OVRD position.
The FADEC energizes one igniter for on ground engine starts and both igniters for in flight engine
starts.
Setting the ignition selector knob to OVRD position provides means to keep both igniters energized.
Igniters 1B and 2B are connected to SPDA 2. In case of SPDA 2 failure, setting the selector knob to
OVRD energizes at least the igniter A.

3. STARTER OPERATION
The engine starter is controlled via the engine start selector knob on the powerplant control panel. For
on ground starts, the SAV opens providing bleed air to increase rotor speed.

4. GROUND START
The FADEC initiates ignition at approximately 7% N2 and the fuel flow (Metering valve opens) at
approximately 20% N2. After a light off occurs, the FADEC commands the starter to cutout at
approximately 50% N2, and controls the FMU fuel metering valve to accelerate the engine to ground
idle.

5. IN FLIGHT START
Engine cross-bleed air, APU bleed air, or windmilling can be used for in flight engine starts.
An in flight cross-bleed start is identical to an on ground start, but the FADEC automatically controls
fuel flow to begin (Metering valve opens) if N2 has not reached 15% after 15 seconds.
For windmill starting, the SAV configures the pneumatic system. The engine start is controlled by the
START/STOP selector knob and the FADEC controls ignition at 7% N2 and fuel flow at a minimum of
7.2% N2, or after 15 seconds, whichever occurs first.
The FADEC has no protection for hot starts or hung starts for in flight engine starts.

6. AUTO RELIGHT
The FADEC monitors N2 and automatically turns on both igniters and schedules the relight fuel flow in
the event of an engine flameout. In addition a WML icon is displayed next to the respective engine N2
and represents an auto relight actuation during the engine auto relight attempts.
If the engine relight does not occur within 30 seconds or N2 falls below 7.2 %, the automatic relight can
be considered unsuccessful and should be manually terminated by moving the START/STOP selector
knob to the STOP position.
During ground operations, auto relight attempts are terminated and fuel is shutoff if the engine RPM
falls below 52 percent N2.

THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM

The Thrust Reverser System is hydraulically actuated and controlled from the cockpit via the thrust
lever.
Thrust reverses 1 & 2 operate independently, and are actuated by the respective hydraulic system.

THRUST REVERSER ACTUATION

FORWARD THRUST FORWARD THRUST

EM170AOM140083.DGN
REVERSE THRUST REVERSE THRUST

The FADEC provides an interlock function to protect against inadvertent thrust reverser deployment
and also to protect against inadvertent thrust reverser stowing.
A locking system consists of two actuator locks and the independent cowl lock. The cowl lock prevents
inadvertent deployment of the thrust reverser.

1. REVERSER OPERATION
Moving the thrust lever to Idle enables the lifting of the Thrust Reverser Trigger. Moving the thrust lever
to the reverse position commands thrust reverser deployment.
Thrust reverser deployment occurs only if the airplane is on the ground. The thrust reverser trigger can
be lift up to 30 seconds after an engine inoperative condition is detected. After 30 seconds the engine
inoperative condition does not release the thrust reverse trigger, so the respective thrust lever cannot
be moved to reverse position.
The IDLE REV thrust is commanded until the thrust reverser cowls are not totally deployed, after total
deployment the MAX REV is commanded if thrust levers are held in MAX REV position.
The thrust reverser is not designed to operate in flight. Uncommanded thrust reverser deployment
limits engine thrust to idle.

Page 16
 Embraer 190 - Systems Summary [Powerplant]

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM

The engine control system performs engine control and thrust management, providing information to
the cockpit, maintenance reporting and engine condition monitoring.
The FADEC manages the engine control system, monitoring the inputs from the airplane and engine.
These inputs control the thrust management from the Thrust Lever Angle and Air Data.
The T2 sensor provides engine inlet air temperature for use in FADEC control calculations.
The N1 Fan Speed Sensor provides N1 data for the FADEC and airplane vibration monitoring system.

1. FULL AUTHORITY DIGITAL ELECTRONIC CONTROL (FADEC)

The FADEC controls the operation, performance and efficiency characteristics of the engine through
full authority control over the engine fuel metering unit, variable stator vanes, operability bleed valve,
T2 sensor heater, thrust reverser actuation, engine starting, ignition and also providing engine limit
protection during ground starts.
Fan speed is the parameter used to set engine thrust. The FADEC controls fan speed for the
necessary thrust based on pressure altitude, temperature and Mach number.
The FADEC has two identical isolated channels. During operation with two capable FADEC channels,
the software logic will alternate the channel in control of each engine start.
One FADEC channel operates as the in-control channel and provides electronic control outputs. The
other channel operates as standby and processes all inputs and software, taking control upon a failure
of the active channel. Built in test features shutdown of a channel whenever a critical internal
components malfunction is detected.
The FADEC is primarily powered by the Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) above approximately 50
% N2. Below this value or in case the PMA becomes inoperative, the airplane's electrical system
provides the required backup power.

2. AUTOMATIC TAKEOFF THRUST CONTROL SYSTEM (ATTCS)

The ATTCS, controlled by the FADEC, automatically provides maximum engine thrust reserve (RSV)
according to the current rate (TO-1, TO-2, TO-3, FLEX TO-1, FLEX TO-2, FLEX TO-3 and GA)
previously selected on the Takeoff Data Set page on the MCDU .
The ATTCS status (ON/OFF) may be selected via MCDU on the Takeoff Data Set page. However, if no
selection is made before takeoff the system assumes status ON by default .
Even if ATTCS is selected OFF for takeoff, it will be armed automatically during go-around mode.
The ATTCS automatically commands RSV whenever it is armed, thrust levers are at TOGA position,
and one of following conditions occurs :
• Difference between both engine N1 values is greater than 15% ;
• One engine failure during takeoff ;
• One engine failure during go-around ;
• Windshear detection.
Whenever the ATTCS is activated, the green ATTCS indication on the EICAS disappears and the cyan
thrust mode will be displayed with an additional "RSV" indication.

3. FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF
Flexible takeoff is a reduced takeoff thrust based on assumed temperature. The assumed temperature
is set on the MCDU takeoff page. The FADEC determines flexible takeoff rates for any of three possible
takeoff modes, reducing the takeoff thrust based on assumed temperature set on the FMS.
The indication FLEX TO-1, FLEX TO-2 or FLEX TO-3 will be displayed on the EICAS for the respective
flexible takeoff thrust.
The flex takeoff reduction is limited to 25% maximum rated takeoff thrust. Deselecting the ATTCS on
the MCDU does not change the flex reduction limit.

4. ENGINE N1
The N1 indicates the engine thrust based on Fan speed.
The N1 "target" is the maximum thrust available in any given mode of operation and is obtained
considering fan inlet temperature, pressure, altitude, and engine bleed configuration.
The N1 "Rating" is the maximum N1 value for the current engine thrust mode.
The N1 "Request" is the N1 value requested based on the current TLA position. FADEC may limit the
N1 Request value for some conditions, such as during thrust reverser operation.

Page 18
 Embraer 190 - Systems Summary [Powerplant]

5. ENGINE THRUST RATINGS

Engine thrust ratings are controlled by the FADEC, which automatically provides the required thrust
rating for engine operation.
The thrust rate modes are the following :
• Takeoff (TO-1, TO-2, TO-3),
• Takeoff Reserve (TO-1 RSV, TO-2 RSV, TO-3 RSV),
• Go-Around (GA),
• Go Around Reserve (GA-RSV),
• Maximum Continuous Thrust (CON),
• Maximum Climb (CLB-1, CLB-2),
• Maximum Cruise (CRZ),
• Idle.

5.1. TAKEOFF (TO-1, TO-2, TO-3)

TO-1 is the highest thrust rating available with all engines operating normally considering the thrust
levers at TOGA position.
The takeoff modes are designated as TO-1, TO-2 or TO-3.
TO-1, TO-2 and TO-3 are limited to 5 minutes during the takeoff phase.

5.2. MAXIMUM TAKEOFF RESERVE (TO-1 RSV, TO-2 RSV, TO-3 RSV)
The maximum takeoff reserve (TO-1 RSV, TO-2 RSV, TO-3 RSV) is the highest thrust rating
available according to the TO rate selected. TO-1 RSV, TO-2 RSV and TO-3 RSV are limited to 5
minutes during the takeoff phase.

5.3. GO-AROUND (GA)

The GA mode is the highest thrust rating available with all engines operating normally considering
the thrust levers at TOGA position during a go-around. The GA mode is limited to 5 minutes during
the go-around phase.

5.4. GO-AROUND RESERVE (GA-RSV)

The GA-RSV is the highest thrust rating available considering the thrust lever at TOGA, one engine
inoperative or windshear detected.
Even with dual engine operation, advancing the thrust levers to the MAX position during go-around
mode can also provide GA-RSV. The GA-RSV is limited to 5 minutes during the go-around phase.

5.5. MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS RATING (CON)

The maximum continuous rating is the maximum thrust rating available for continuous dual or single
engine operation.

Page 19
 Embraer 190 - Systems Summary [Powerplant]

5.6. MAXIMUM CLIMB RATING (CLB-1, CLB-2)

Maximum Climb rating is the maximum thrust rating for climb operation. Climb modes are
designated as CLB-1 and CLB-2.
The Maximum Climb rating does not have a fixed thrust levers position. It is selectable through
thrust lever adjustments between the IDLE and TOGA positions, or even manually selecting (CLB-1
or CLB-2) on the MCDU.

5.7. MAXIMUM CRUISE RATING (CRZ)

Maximum Cruise is the maximum thrust for cruise operations with all engines operating and is not
subject to time-limited operation. The Maximum Cruise (CRZ) thrust ratings does not have a fixed
TLA position. It is selectable through thrust lever adjustments between the IDLE and CLB positions.

5.8. IDLE
The idle mode selections are the following :
• Flight Idle,
• Approach Idle,
• Final Approach Idle,
• Ground Idle.
Automatic selection between IDLE modes is accomplished by the FADEC based on inputs from the
airplane.

5.8.1. FLIGHT IDLE

The engine offers the minimum necessary thrust to provide minimum engine bleed pressure to
the airplane. Flight Idle fan speed varies with altitude and can change as a function of ECS
bleed, and anti-ice bleed requirements. The flight idle mode is activated as follows :
• Weight off wheels,
• Approach idle not selected.

5.8.2. APPROACH IDLE

Approach Idle is used in flight to enable rapid acceleration to go-around thrust. Approach idle is
activated as follows :
• Weight off wheels,
• The approach mode set (flaps 1 or greater or landing gear down and locked),
• Altitude less than 15000 ft.

5.8.3. FINAL APPROACH IDLE

The FADEC sets the Final Approach Idle for altitudes lower than 1200 ft and approach mode
configuration. When in Final Approach Idle the FADEC considers anti-ice off, regardless of the
actual anti-ice system status.

Page 20
 Embraer 190 - Systems Summary [Powerplant]

5.8.4. GROUND IDLE

Ground Idle is the minimum thrust setting. Ground Idle provides a stable and minimum engine
thrust level for ground operations.

5.9. MINIMUM REVERSE

Min reverse is the minimum reverse thrust available with the thrust lever set in the MIN REVERSE
position.

5.10. MAX REVERSE

Max reverse is the maximum reverse thrust available with the thrust lever set in the MAX REVERSE
position.

7.1. FADEC ENGINE PROTECTION

The FADEC provides engine start protection on the ground as follows :
• Hung start,
• Hot start,
• No light-off.
Hung and hot start protections are inhibited in the air.

7.2. OVERSPEED PROTECTION

The FADEC monitors N2 and provides overspeed protection. Whenever N2 reaches 101% the
FADEC automatically commands an engine shutdown
In the event of three consecutive overspeed detection events within 30 seconds the FADEC will not
relight the engine.

7.3. OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION

The FADEC will not allow fuel flow if ITT is above 120°C during ground start. In this case a dry
motoring will be performed automatically and the fuel flow is commanded with ITT below 120°C.
ITT limit is variable according to the engine operation phase.
