The Main Engine Control (MEC)
|
schedules fuel to provide the thrust called for by the Thrust Lever setting.
|
|
thrust control system consists of
|
hydromechanical MEC (main engine control) unit and a PMC (power management control) unit mounted on each engine.
|
|
Power Management Control (PMC)
|
an electronic system with limited authority over the MEC
|
|
PMC uses what to obtain desired N1 speed
|
MEC thrust lever angle, N1 speed, inlet temperature and pressure to adjust, or trim
|
|
a function of thrust lever angle
|
fuel flow
|
|
When thrust is set for the climb
|
PMC automatically maintains that thrust throughout the climb
|
|
thrust lever is repositioned
|
PMC maintains the setting corresponding to the new thrust lever angle
|
|
The PMC includes
|
failure detection and annunciation modules which detect PMC failures and provide a signal to the crew.
|
|
controlled by the hydromechanical MEC only.
|
engine speed
|
|
two engine idle speeds
|
, low idle and high idle
|
|
minimum engine speed for all flight phases
|
high idle
|
|
temperature and airspeed decrease
|
high idle speed also decreases
|
|
average high idle setting
|
approximately 32% N1.
|
|
after touchdown
|
Engine idle speed is reduced to low idle, approximately 22% N1
|
|
Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve is electrically controlled by
|
Engine Start Lever and the Engine Fire Warning Switch
|
|
Illumination of the FILTER BYPASS Light indicates
|
an impending or actual bypass of the fuel filter due to contamination
|
|
The second stage fuel pump provides
|
high pressure fuel to the Main Engine Control (MEC).
|
|
fuel heater uses
|
engine oil to heat the fuel for anti-icing purposes.
|
|
to meter the correct amount of fuel to the combustor
|
the MEC and PMC use thrust lever angle, fan inlet pressure and temperature, N1 RPM and N2 RPM
|
|
Fuel flows from
|
MEC through the MEC fuel shutoff valve.
|
|
mechanically controlled by the Engine Start Lever
|
MEC fuel shutoff valve
|
|
fuel flow transmitter measures
|
rate of fuel flow from the MEC.
|
|
Oil from the engine oil tank is circulated to
|
lubricate the engine bearings and accessory gearbox
|
|
pressurized by the engine driven oil pump.
|
oil system
|
|
engine driven scavenge pumps
|
oil is returned to the oil tank
|
|
engines may be started with air from
|
APU, from a ground source, or by using engine crossbleed
|
|
The Engine Start Switch GRD position uses DC power from the battery bus to
|
open the starter valve and allow pressure from the pneumatic manifold to rotate the starter.
|
|
The starter
|
a turbine-type air motor which rotates the N2 compressor through the accessory drive gear system.
|
|
fuel is supplied to the combustor
|
When the Engine Start Lever is advanced to the IDLE position
|
|
With the Engine Start Switch in the GRD position
|
starter valve opens and the selected igniter(s) are energized
|
|
The CONT position energizes
|
selected igniter(s).
|
|

|
both igniters
|
|
when the Engine Start Switch is in FLT.
|

|
|
IGN L, powered by the AC transfer bus
|
provides single high energy ignition to the left igniter
|
|
IGN R, powered by the AC standby bus,
|
provides single high energy ignition to the right igniter
|
|
Aft movement of the reverser sleeves causes
|
