FUEL IDG COOLING SYSTEM PRESENTATION (3)
PRINCIPLE
The Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil is cooled by the fuel; a
recirculation system is installed. To provide adequate cooling of the IDG
oil the Return to Tank (RTT) solenoid valve is used. The RTT provides
the lowest possible IDG oil temperature at all operating conditions without
overheating the fuel. The RTT solenoid valve allows the hot fuel to be
returned to the outer cell at low engine fuel flow if the engine oil
temperature is too high. A fuel temperature sensor is used to signal the
EEC the fuel temperature downstream of the Engine Fuel/Oil Cooler in
order to maintain the temperature of the returned fuel below 100°C
(212°F) at steady state and 110°C (230°F) at transient . Fuel Level Sensing
Control Unit (FLSCU) 1 and Electronic Engine Control 1 (EEC) control
the recirculation system in the left wing. FLSCU 2 and EEC 2 control
the right wing system.
FUEL RETURN
The re-circulated fuel is sent to the outer cell through a check valve and
a pressure holding valve in order to prevent the fuel from boiling. The
pressure holding valve maintains a pressure of 15.5 psi in the return line;
if the pressure increases, fuel bleeds through the valve into the outer cell.
The check valve prevents fuel flow from the wing tank to the engine
U7Z08431 - u4PT0EC - UM28P1000000003
when the recirculation system is not in operation.
NOTE: Note: When the outer cell is full, the fuel overflows into the
inner cell through a spill pipe.
PUMP LOGIC
As long as the fuel is being delivered from the center tank, the wing tanks
are still full and will tend to overfill, as the returned fuel is delivered to
the wings tanks. In that case the center tank pump stops when the inner
cell reaches the FULL level. The wing tank pumps will operate until

approximately 500 kg (1100 lbs) of fuel have been used i.e.: under full
sensors reached. The logic circuit then restarts the center tank pump.
RTT CLOSURE
The Return To Tank (RTT) valve solenoid controls the bypass directional
control/RTT valve position for RTT flows. The Engine Interface Unit
(EIU) sends the status of the position of the valve through the EEC.
The return to tank system will be activated (RTT valve open) by the EEC
and will return the fuel back to the wing tank, in order to control the fuel
and oil temperature. The RTT system will be inhibited (RTT valve closed)
in either of the following conditions.
AIRCRAFT SPILL INHIBITION
The RTT valve closes if aircraft spill inhibition is activated by Fuel
Level Sensing Units (FLSCUs) trough the EIU.
FUEL FLOW
The RTT valve closes if the fuel flow is greater than 2000 KG/H (4410
lbs/H). This RTT inhibition will be removed when fuel flow becomes
less than 1810 KG/H (3990 lbs/H).
FUEL FLOW TEMPERATURE
The RTT valve closes if the RTT fuel flow temperature is greater than
109.99°C (230°F) or above 99.99°C (212°F) for 10 minutes cumulated
per flight.
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE
The RTT valve closes if the temperature of engine oil becomes less
than 64.99°C (149°F). This inhibition will be removed when engine
oil temperature becomes greater than 74.99°C (167°F).

N2 SPEED
The RTT valve closes if the speed of N2 is below idle except during
a wet crank or during power-up self-test or interactive tests that check
the RTT system.
