NUMBER: 5.1/111 ISSUED: January 1980 REVISED: PRODUCT: Centaur MODEL(S): Specifics: SUBJECT: RECUPERATOR ACCELERATION TEMPERATURE CONTROL (RATC, Z139) P/N 946734C92 - CALIBRATION AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURES Type of Change: Product Information Recommended Compliance: Information Purpose: To provide a procedure for installation, checkout and calibration of the Recuperator Acceleration Temperature Control (Z139). This bulletin is being published as a supplement to the Operation and Maintenance Instructions manual. GENERAL INFORMATION: MONITOR OPERATION DESCRIPTION: The Recuperator Accelerator Temperature Control (RATC) is a solid state device mounted in the control console. It’s function is to control the engine’s acceleration schedule during start to limit the temperature differential across the recuperator. The RATC senses inlet air temperature (T1), combustor inlet temperature (T2C), and power turbine inlet (T5) to T2C differential temperature ( T = T5 - T2C). Based on these parameters, the RATC biases the 0 to 5 V dc analog signal from the T5 temperature monitor to the Main Fuel Actuator Control (MFAC) during starts only (Between 0 and 90 percent Ngp). SERVICE BULLETIN Page 1 of 11 NUMBER: 5.1/111
The control phases on start are: Phase 1 - Phase 1 is the acceleration and temperature control between 0 and 60 percent Ngp. From crank initiation to lightoff, the Main Fuel Actuator (which controls the throttle valve) is controlled by the Ramp Generator (Z149). When the engine lights off, the differential temperature ( T) sensed by the RATC increases. AT 225 F, the T switch transfers control of the Main Fuel Actuator from the Ramp Generator to the Main Fuel Actuator Control (MFAC), which in turn is controlled by the RATC monitor (Z139). At lightoff the temperature is controlled by low speed ( T) topping with the controlling parameter being T2C and T with T1 bias. When the engine lights off with a cold recuperator (low T2C) the RATC limits the T to a low value ( Figure 1). ( T = 260 F at T2C = 80 F, when T1 = 80 F). As the recuperator warms up and T2C increases, the T limit is increased to a proportionately higher value. (For example, T = 300 F at T2C = 110 F, and T = 600 F at T2C = 300 F when Tl = 80 F.) T is also allowed to increase as Tl decreases. (For example, T = 300 F at T2C = 110 F, when Tl = 80 F; but T = 400 F at same T2C of 110 F when T1 decreases to -40 F.) As T2C increases, T is allowed to increase to a value that will allow T5 to increase to 975 F. From this point through 60 percent Ngp, the temperature is controlled by low speed T5 topping, which is limited to 975 F. Phase 2 - At 60 percent Ngp, temperature control transfers to medium speed topping, which allows T5 to increase to a higher value. To prevent overtemperature shutdown from a rapid increase in the fuel schedule, a ramp voltage is introduced which initiates a smooth transition to the higher topping setting. From 60 to 90 percent speed, Ngp topping is controlled by T5 with a T1 bias. The T1 bias varies the T5 topping limit from 850 F at -40 F T1 to 1150 F at 80 F T1. Phase 3 - At 90 percent Ngp, the ramp voltage initiates a smooth transition to the normal high speed T5 topping limit of 1150 F. INPUTS TO THE RATC: 1. T5, power turbine inlet temperature: 0 to 5 volts dc analog from engine temperature monitor Z182. 2. T2C, combustor air inlet temperature: from TC339-1 thermocouple. 3. T, differential temperature T5 - T2C: from thermocouple TC382 - TC339-2. 4. T1, air inlet temperature: from R339 resistance temperature detector RTD. 5. 60 percent Ngp switch: from gas producer speed monitor Z183. 6. 90 percent Ngp switch: from gas producer speed monitor Z183. 7. 24 volts dc: from control battery.
