49 APU PRESENTATION
GENERAL
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a constant-speed gas turbine engine
installed in the tail cone. The APU is a self-contained unit. With the APU,
the A/C is independent of external pneumatic and electrical power sources.
The APU is designed to operate during all the flight envelope.
Electrical power is available while the APU operates, but if a back-up
bleed source is necessary in flight, APU bleed air is available until a
maximum altitude of FL200 for the APIC 3200 and FL225 for the
Honeywell 131-9.
The APU can supply:
- Electrical power for the A/C systems,
- Bleed air for engine starting and air conditioning on the ground,
- Bleed air for air conditioning/pressurization in flight.
The APU is installed in its compartment in the tail cone.
The Air Intake Flap and Duct assembly let air flow to the APU air inlet
plenum.
Different components (the APU Bleed duct, the APU Generator output
feeder cable, the APU fuel supply manifold, etc.) go through the front
firewall.
The Air Intake Flap actuator operates the air intake flap and lets air go
into the plenum.
The hot gases from the power section and unused APU bleed air are
released through the Exhaust pipe.

ENGINE DESCRIPTION - HONEYWELL
The APU is a constant speed, single-shaft gas turbine engine that
supplies mechanical shaft power to operate an accessory gearbox and
a load compressor. The gearbox drives the APU generator.
The Load Control Valve supplies pneumatic power to start the air
conditioning. A Surge Control Valve also gives protection to the load
compressor against insufficient flow.
The APU operation is controlled and monitored by the Electronic
Control Box (ECB). The ECB has full authority over the following
APU functions:
- Starting,
- Acceleration,
- Speed governing,
- Indication,
- Fault monitoring,
- Interface with A/C systems.
The APU is capable of unattended operation; therefore, the ECB
automatically shuts down the APU in case of a FAULT to protect the
APU.

ENGINE DESCRIPTION - APIC
The APU is a constant speed, single-shaft gas turbine engine that
delivers mechanical shaft power to drive an accessory gearbox and a
load compressor. The APU generator is driven by the gearbox.
The Bleed Control valve provides the pneumatic power for starting,
air conditioning and it integrates the protective Surge Control function
required to protect the load compressor against insufficient flow.
The APU operation is controlled and monitored by the Electronic
Control Box (ECB). The ECB has full authority over the following
APU functions:
- Starting,

- Interface with A/C systems.
The APU is capable of unattended operation; therefore, the ECB
automatically shuts down the APU in case of a FAULT to protect the
APU.

CONTROL AND INDICATING
This section will highlight the control panels and indications for the APU.
CONTROL PANELS
The controls used to operate the APU are:
- The APU MASTER SWitch and START P/BSW, on the APU control
panel,
- The APU fire controls, on the FIRE panel,
- Additionally, P/BSWs to deliver the electrical or pneumatic power,
and to test the APU auto extinguishing circuits.

CONTROL AND INDICATING (continued)
EXTERNAL CONTROLS
If an APU FIRE warning occurs on the ground, a loud horn will be
heard in the nose wheel well to alert ground personnel. A red APU
FIRE light will also come on, on the external power control panel on
the lower fuselage. It is possible to do an EMERGENCY shutdown
of the APU from this panel. To do this, lift the guard and push the
APU SHUT OFF P/BSW.

MAINTENANCE/TEST FACILITIES
Using the MCDU, you can have access to the Centralized Fault Display
System (CFDS) fault messages of the APU system. Specific Built-In Test
Equipment (BITE) tests are available as well.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When you work on A/C, make sure that you obey all the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM) safety procedures. This will prevent injury
to persons and/or damage to the A/C. Here is an overview of main safety
precautions related to the APU.
Make sure that you use the correct personal protection when you work
on the APU, as fuel and oil are poisonous.
Do not touch the APU until it is sufficiently cool.
If you operate the APU with the APU access doors open or removed,
make sure that you have the correct fire fighting equipment available.
The onboard APU fire extinguishing system is not sufficient when these
doors are not closed.

AVIONICS VENTILATION
The avionics ventilation system supplements the air conditioning system
to supply cooling air to the avionics equipment. This equipment includes
the avionics compartment, the flight deck instruments and the circuit
breaker panels.
A blower fan and an extraction fan supply the air through the avionics
equipment.
NOTE: Note: These fans operate continuously while the A/C electrical
system is supplied.
The Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer (AEVC) controls the
fans and the configuration of the skin valves in the avionics ventilation
system in relation to the flight/ground logic and the fuselage skin
temperature.
There are 3 configurations for the skin air inlet and outlet valves:
- Open circuit: the two valves are open (on ground only),
- Closed circuit: the two valves are closed (in flight or low outside air
temperature on ground). The air temperature is decreased in the skin heat
exchanger. The skin heat exchanger lets the warm air from the avionics
equipment flow along the cold inner surface of the upper fuselage skin.
Two frames of the aircraft structure are closed to the inside by panels
and make two rectangular ducts,
- Intermediate circuit: inlet closed, outlet not fully open.
