The purpose of the free turbine protection system is to shut down the engine in case
the free turbine rotational speed Hft reaches the maximum permissible limit by out-
ting off the fuel flow into the combustion chamber.
The purpose of the drains system is to remove the fuel seeped via the seals of the
engine accessories as well as the fuel drained from the combustion chamber and pres-
surizing air valve.
2.6. Piping
The pipes are intended for delivery of fuel to the fuel system accessories.
3. Operation
The fuel is fed from the helicopter fuel system to the inlet of the centrifugal fuel
pump (Ref. Fig. 1). The centrifugal fuel pump raises the fuel pressure to the required
value and supplies it to the fine fuel filter. The filtered fuel is delivered to the
inlet of the PCU wherein its pressure is raised and then the fuel is metered as requir-
ed and supplied in two flows via the drain valve/drain valves unit into the primary
and main fuel manifolds. Initially, the fuel supply is effected via the primary fuel
manifold, but as soon as the engine comes to run at a power condition higher than the
idling, the fuel is admitted into the main fuel manifold.
To exercise the control over the functioning of the engine accessories and units, the
high-pressure fuel is fed from the FCU to the el. actuator of the turbine protection
system, pressurizing air valve and engine hydraulic power cylinder, wherefrom it is
supplied to the air bleed valves.
The fuel seeped past the seals of the engine accessories is supplied along the pipes
of the drains system into the ejector and then expelled into the exhaust stack.
The fuel drained from the combustion chamber and pressurizing air valve when the engine
is cut off, is admitted into the drain valve/drain valves unit and then is expelled out-
board.

The purpose at the pipes is to ensure supply of fuel to the accessories and assemblies
of the fuel system.
The pipes are attached to the engine accessories and to each other with the aid of
standard connections shown in Figure 1.
Location of the pipes on the engine is shown in Figure 2. On some engine models there
are differences in location and configuration of pipes as well as in their attachment
hardware (Ref. Book 3, 073.00.00).
The pipes are fitted to the engine without mounting stresses and, depending on the
length, are secured on the engine with the aid of one or several clips (Ref. Fig. 2).
The pipes are made of stainless steel and each pipe has a respective numerical code
made by the electrochemical method on the pipe and an identification of the liquid
which it conveys.

General
The purpose of the drains system is to remove the fuel and oil seeped past the seals
of the fuel system accessories, the fuel drained from the fuel manifold into the engine
combustion chamber when shutting the engine down, as well as the fuel leaked from the
pressurizing air valve.
The fuel and oil leaked past the seals of the engine accessories are delivered into the
ejector through which they are expelled into the engine exhaust stack. When the engine
is shut down, the fuel leaked from the pressurizing air valve as well as that drained
from the fuel manifold into the combustion chamber is conveyed via the drain valve/
drain valves unit overboard.
The drains system consists of either drain valve or drain valves unit (15) (Ref.
073.01.00, Fig. 2), ejector (12) and pipes (3), (5), (13), (14), and (34).
The drain valve (Ref. Fig. 1) serves to drain the fuel seeped from the pressurizing air
valve and combustion chamber. The drain valve is mounted on the lower flange of the
combustion chamber casing and secured with four screws.
The drain valve comprises casing (2) (Ref. Fig. 2), valve body (8), and connections (3),
(4), (5), and (6).
Casing (2) is made of an aluminium alloy and provided with fuel passages. The connect-
ions and valve body (8) are screwed into the threaded holes. The tightness of the
joints at the manifold is ensured by rubber sealing rings (1). Gasket (12) and
shield (11) provide for thermal insulation of the sealing rings.
When the engine is at a standstill, valve (9) is kept open by the force of spring (7).
At engine starting, when the secondary air pressure within the combustion chamber
builds up to 1.2 kgf/cm , the valve is closed. When the engine is running, the fuel
is drained from the pressurizing air valve via connection (5) overboard.
Unlike the drain valve, the drain valves unit is provided additionally with three
valves (6) (Ref. Fig. 3) identical in design, two of which serving to drain fuel from
the fuel manifold during the engine shutdown and one serving to drain fuel from the
combustion chamber. Filter (8) serves to clean the fuel drained from the combustion
chamber.
When the engine is at a standstill, valve (6) is kept open by the force of spring (7).
When the engine is running, valves (6) are kept closed by the pressure of the fuel
delivered to the face of plunger (3) from the chamber aft of the pumping section of
the PCU.
In the course of engine starting, as soon as the fuel pressure downstream of the pump-
ing section builds up to 5 to 6 kgf/cm , plunger (3) overcomes the force of spring (7)
and moves to close valves (6) via pivot (2).
When the engine comes to a standstill, the fuel pressure downstream of the pumping
section becomes equal to the drain pressure and the force of spring (7) opens
valves (6), thus connecting the fuel manifold, combustion chamber and pressurizing
air valve with the drain chamber of the drain valves unit.
Ejector
The purpose of the ejector is to remove fuel and oil from the chambers of the fuel
accessories. The ejector is installed on the housing of the fourth and fifth support
assemblies and secured with four screws (4) (Ref. Pig. 4).
The ejector comprises ejector connection (1), swivel connection (2) and casing (3).
The air tapped from the compressor, while passing via ejector connection (1),
creates rarefaction within swivel connection (2) and the drain pipe attached to the
connection; owing to which, the fuel and oil are expelled into exhaust stack (5)
through ejector casing (3).
Piping
For location of pipes and their attachment to the engine, refer to 073.01.00 (Ref.
Fig. 2).

- Pipes.
For the low-pressure fuel system diagram, refer to 073.00.00 (Ref. Fig. 1).
The purpose of the centrifugal fuel pump is to ensure the required fuel pressure at
the inlet to the FCU. The pump torsion shaft receives rotation from a drive located
in the engine external drive gearbox.
The centrifugal fuel pump is fitted on the front left side of the engine external
drive gearbox and secured to it with a clamp.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter serves to clean the fuel supplied to the FCU inlet of foreign
particles.
The fuel filter is mounted on the left-hand side (looking forward) of the engine
first support assembly housing and attached to it by two studs.
For the description and operation of the fuel filter, refer to 073.11.04.
Pipes
For the location and attachment of pipes on the engine, refer to 073.01.00 (Ref.
Fig. 2).
General
Purpose
The purpose of the centrifugal fuel pump ia to ensure the required fuel pressure up-
stream of the FCU. The pump is installed on the engine external drive gearbox.
Main Data
The centrifugal fuel pump ensures the parameters quoted in Table 1, when it operates
on fuel TC-1 at a temperature of +(20+10) °C
T a b l e 1
NOTES: When operating on fuel of other grades, the pressure differential built up
by the pump varies in proportion with the fuel density.
In the course of operation of the pump, a seepage of fuel arid oil into the
drains system up to 0.5 cm/min is considered acceptable. A seepage of oil
from the external drive gearbox into the drain chamber is also acceptable.
When inoperative, the pump shall be leak-tight.
When operating the ДЦН-70А on fuel of the T-1, TC-1 , or PT grade, the fuel
inlet pressure is equal to at least 0.3 atm (abs); whereas, when the pump
is operating on the T-2 fuel, the fuel inlet pressure is not less than
0.4 atm (abs).

into it, and bushing (19).
The pumping section of the pump comprises shaft (14) and impellers (3) and (33) mounted
onto the shaft. All the parts assembled on shaft (14), that is shims (22), (23), (24)
and (25), key (2), and impellers (3) and (33), are secured with nut (1) which is locked
with tab washer (26).
Shaft (14) rotates in two ball bearings (7) and (10) with distance bushing (8) sand-
wiched between them.
The surface on shaft (14) intended for location of collar (17) is chrome-plated and po-
lished to a high degree of surface finish. At one end, shaft (14) terminates in a
thread to suit nut (1), whereas at the other end it terminates in a square location
which serves for mounting splined bushing (15), with the help of which shaft (14) is
engaged with the engine external drive gearbox coupling, thus receiving a torque from
the latter. Shaft (14) transmits the torque through key (2) to impeller (3).
Impellers (3) and (33) are cast from aluminium alloy. Impeller (3) is basically a disc
having ten impeller vanes at one side and eight straight pressure relief vanes at the
other side, which during rotation of the impeller are throwing the fuel from the gap to
the periphery, thus reducing the pressure aft of impeller (3) Impeller (33) is basic-
ally a wheel with ten vanes.
To prevent seepage of working fluid from the pump chamber, use is made of seal hous-
ing (13) with collar (17).
Screwed into one of two bosses (the lower one having a thread) is adapter (32) with seal-
ing ring (20) which serves to connect the engine drains system to the pump.
To prevent damage to the pump during transportation and to protect it against corrosion
during storage, the following items are fitted to the pump: cap (4) (Ref. Fig. 2) with
gasket (5), rubber ring (3), plugs (8) and (9), end transportation plug (2).
Operation
For the operation diagram of the centrifugal fuel pump, refer to Figure 3.
During operation of the centrifugal fuel pump, the fuel is fed from the service tank
along a pipe into the pump Inlet branch pipe and then further to the vanes of the ro-
tating impeller (1) fitted to shaft (4).
The rotating vanes of the impeller (1) are imparting a rotary motion to the fuel. Under
the action of the centrifugal force, the fuel is tossed to the periphery of impeller
(1), acquiring in the process an additional amount of kinetic energy.

Having reached the periphery of the impeller (1), the fuel enters the collector-volute
(5) with progressively increasing sectional areas and then finds its way to outlet branch
pipe (2).
The velocity of the fuel drops in the outlet branch pipe (diffuser), whereas the pres-
sure increases. Thus, the kinetic energy acquired by the fuel while passing the impeller
is transformed into the pressure energy.
On leaving the outlet branch pipe (2), the working fluid enters the engine fuel line.

General
The purpose of the fuel filter ie to clean the fuel of foreign matter in the fuel sys-
tem.
The operating principle of the filter is based on the capability of its gauze partition
to trap the foreign particles present in the fuel flow.
The engine may be equipped either with filter 11TФ30CM-1 or with filter 8Д2.966.236.
The characteristics and designations of the elements for filter 11ТФЗОСМ-1 are given
in brackets.

2.2. Design
Filter bowl (2) (Ref. Fig. 1), cover (1), return valve (4), drain valve (9), by-pass
valve (12), filter element (3), differential pressure switch (10).
Filter 11ТФЗОСM-1 is not provided with the drain valve and differential pressure switch.
Drain plug (4) is installed instead of the return valve and head piece (1) instead of
the cover.
Filter bowl (2) is made of aluminium alloy and has a threaded portion and a circular
groove in its upper section. Fitted into the groove is rubber sealing ring (7) which
ensures leak-tightness of the cover/head piece-to-filter bowl joint. Screwed into the
bowl lower section is return valve/drain plug (4).
Filter element (3) is housed within the filter bowl. Bowl (2) is jointed to cover/head
piece (1) with the aid of a thread.
Cover/head piece (1) is made of aluminium alloy. Located inside the cover/head piece
are the following items:
- Drain valve (9) intended to vent air from the interior of the filter and consisting
of a valve body with a ball loaded to it by a spring.
- By-pass valve (12) intended to by-pass the fuel leaving aside the filter element in
case it gets clogged and consisting of seat (11), valve (12) with a rod, spring (15).
- Differential pressure switch (10) intended to send a signal to the annunciator when-
ever a preset pressure differential across filter element (3) is reached.
Filter element (3) is basically a gauze crimped cylinder fitted onto a perforated frame
and welded to its flanges. Fitted onto the filter element is protective perforated
shroud (5).
3. Operation
In the course of operation, the fuel enters the filter inlet chamber via the inlet con-
nection. Passing through the filter element filtering gauze, the fuel ie cleaned of fo-
reign particles and admitted into the filter element inlet chamber. Then it enters the
filter outlet chamber and flows through the outlet branch pipe into the engine fuel sys-
tem.
Fuel Filter
Figure 1
Whenever the filter element gets clogged and the pressure differential across the filter
element reaches a level of 0.4+0.08 kgf/cm2, the differential pressure switch completes
the circuit of the helicopter's warning light.
When the pressure differential rises to a level of 0.7+0.1 (O.5+0.2)kgf/cm2, the by-
pass valve gets open and a proportion of the fuel is directed to the filter outlet
chamber by-passing the filter element.

Book 3.
Description
The main fuel system drain valve/drain valves unit serves to supply fuel into the fuel
manifold and to drain fuel from the pressurizing air valve and combustion chamber.
For the description and operation of the drain valve, refer to 073.02.00.
The purpose of the fuel control unit is to supply and meter the fuel into the combus-
tion chamber at all operating power conditions of the engine, to effect control over
the compressor VGV's and to provide a signal to cut out the air starter.
The FCU is mounted on the rear left side of the engine external drive gearbox and se-
cured to it with a clamp.
The fuel manifold together with the fuel nozzles is fitted in the combustion chamber
and secured to combustion chamber casing (5) (Ref. Fig. 1) with the aid of three
mounts (2) screwed into the fuel nozzle body (18) and locked with tab washer (6).
Pitted to the mounts are mount bushings (4) secured to combustion chamber casing (5)
with nuts (3). This type of attachment provides for freedom of movement due to thermal
expansion of a running engine.
The fuel manifold is basically a ring-shaped assembly consisting of twelve fuel nozzles
interconnected by two rows of pipes.
The main fuel nozzles are of a two-jet, duplex, centrifugal type. Pitted inside each
fuel nozzle are atomizing and filtering elements of the primary and main fuel manifolds
supplying fuel into the combustion chamber. These elements are secured with the aid of
sleeve (9) provided with shroud (14) soldered onto it.
Acting as the atomizing elements of the primary fuel manifold are conical swirler (13)
and nozzle-swirler (12), whereas nozzle-swirler (12) and nozzle (11) serve as the ato-
mizing elements of the main fuel manifold.
The nozzle and the conical swirler have a design ensuring minimum dimensions of the
swirl chamber and, hence, an adequate atomization of fuel at starting and at sub-
zero temperatures. Nozzle-swirler (12) of the primary fuel manifold is, at the same
time, a part of the swirler of the main fuel manifold. The nozzle-swirler is provided
with an external locating collar having four spiral grooves machined in it. Nozzle-
swirler (12) together with nozzle (11) press-fitted onto it form swirl passages.
Gauze filter (7) acte as a filtering element of the primary fuel manifold; whereas,
sleeve (10), having a fine thread and several splines cut in its cylindrical portion
to ensure a required filtration rating, serves as the filtering element of the main
fuel manifold.
The internal leak-tightness of the fuel flow metering components of the primary and
main fuel manifolds is ensured by the ground-in faces of the components and tigh-
tening them with the aid of sleeve (9). The alignment of swirler (13) is ensured by
pressing it to nozzle-swirler (12) with spring (17) via filter (7). The external leak-
tightness is ensured by a pressure-controlled crimping of tapered copper ring (16)
between thrust ring (15), fuel nozzle body (18) and nozzle (11). Sleeve (9) is locked
by rolling over sleeve shroud (8) into the special recesses milled in nozzle body (18).
The fuel supply along the primary fuel manifold is effected both at engine starting and
at all operating power conditions, whereas, the fuel supply along the main fuel mani-
fold is effected at all operating power conditions above the idling setting.
The fuel ia admitted into the primary fuel manifold via fuel supply pipe (21), passes
T-connection (22) and flows in both directions along the manifold. Then the fuel enters

chamber Б, passes through filter (7) and flows to conical swirler (13). Passing via two
inclined slots, the fuel enters the swirl chamber wherefrom it is injected in atomized
condition into the flame tube through the outlet port in nozzle-swirler (12).
Fuel is supplied into the main fuel manifold via fuel delivery pipe (20) and T-con-
nection (19), and then flows along the manifold in both directions. Then, the fuel is
admitted into annular chamber A, passes via filtering sleeve (10), enters the chamber
upstream of the swirler, wherein the spiral passages impart to it a swirling motion,
and is injected in atomized condition into the flame tube through the central port pro-
vided in main fuel manifold nozzle (11).
To prevent carbon deposition on nozzle (11), the nozzle is being blown with the air ad-
mitted through the ports provided in shroud (14).
The purpose of the hydraulic power cylinder (Ref. Fig. 2) is to change the angular set-
ting of the VIGV's and compressor stages 1 through 4 VGV's as well as to effect control
over the compressor air bleed valves.
The hydraulic power cylinder is mounted at the bottom of the compressor casing and at-
tached to it with the aid of a bracket and bolts.
The hydraulic power cylinder includes the following elements: cast aluminium anodized
casing (1) (Ref. Pig. 3) with rubber-fluoroplastie seals (8), power piston (2), lever
(3) with slide block (4), and air bleed valves control limit switch with control valve
(5) moving within sleeve (6).
Adjusting screws (7) and (9) act as stops when adjusting the extreme positions of
hydraulic power cylinder power piston (2).
When starting the engine, the operational pressure is fed from the FCU to connection A
causing power piston (2) to move to the extreme right-hand position and displace con-
trol valve (5) to the extreme right-hand position, thus ensuring the high-pressure
fuel supply from connection Г via connection В into the air bleed valves. This causes
the air bleed valves to open. Lever (3) connected through a leverage ensures the
angular setting of the VGV's required at engine starting.
Air Conduit
Air conduit (3) (Ref. Fig. 4) serves to blow off temperature-sensing probe (8) (Ref.
Fig. 5) of the POT with the air delivered from the helicopter's air intake.
The air conduit is attached with one flange to air intake flange (1) and with another,
to FCU flange (7).
The air conduit is a split structure made of Al-alloy and comprises air conduit (2),
shroud with coupling (5), and flange with shroud (11). Flange with shroud (11) is
connected to air conduit (2) by screws (10), whereas the shroud with coupling (5) is
connected to air conduit (2) by means of a telescope joint to compensate for various
deformations (misalignments) which may occur during removal/installation of the air
conduit. The air conduit is provided with the internal, isolated from each other,
passages A and Б supplying and tapping off air, as well as chamber 3 into which the
hot air is supplied via connection (9). The air conduit has special well (3) providing
accommodation to a temperature-sensing probe. The tightness of the joints is ensured
by sealing rings (4) and (6).
On a running engine, a proportion of the air passing through the helicopter's air in-
take finds its way into air delivery passage A, flows around the temperature-sensing
probe and is delivered along the air offtake passage Б to the engine inlet. When the
engine anti-icing system is selected, the hot air is supplied from it into chamber В
to prevent accretion of ice on the inlet edges of flange with shroud (11) (Ref.
075.10.00).
Piping
Por location and attachment of the pipes on the engine, refer to 073.01.00, Fig. 2.
Operation
To start the engine it is necessary to set engine control lever (22) (Ref. Fig. 6)
to the idle stop, to cut in the engine auto start control unit by depressing the start
button and to shift the shut-down valve to the OPEN (ОТКРЫТО) position.
The engine auto start control unit signals the air starter solenoid valve to cut in
and the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine starts supplying compressed air to the air starter air tur-
bine. As a result, the air starter and gas generator rotor begin to rotate.
In the course of the gas generator rotor cranking bу the air starter, the pumping
section of high-pressure pump (71) is building up a fuel pressure in the fuel pump
chambers, and throttle valve (54) is moving to a position corresponding to the minimum
fuel flow. In this case, control valve (55) of the throttle valve is kept open by a
spring while the fuel is being forced out of chamber Ю into the spill line. When con-

trol valve (55) reaches the extreme upper position, it thrusts onto minimum fuel flow
adjusting screw (20) and gets closed, the pressure in the chamber Ю increases and, as
the result, the throttle valve starts moving towards increasing the-fuel flow.
As soon аз the gas generator rotor rotational speed reaches a level of 15 to 20 56, the
capacity of the pumping section becomes sufficient to build up the fuel pressure up-
stream of shut-off valve (43) to a value at which the valve gets open and the fuel
starts flowing via back-up valve (42) into primary fuel manifold fuel duct (48). To
improve the atomization of fuel and ensure its reliable ignition in the combustion
chamber at all altitudes and climatic conditions and particularly at sub-zero OAT, the
compressed air is supplied from the air starter via pressurizing air valve (46) into
main fuel manifold fuel duct (47), thus providing for fine atomization of the fuel
supplied through the primary fuel manifold.
The atomized fuel admitted into the combustion chamber is lit up by two ignition plugs
and the gas flow starts producing an excess power in the compressor turbine.
The magnitude of the fuel pressure in the primary fuel manifold at the moment of the
fuel ignition in the combustion chamber is governed by a loading of the spring of the
auto start control and adjusted within the limits of 2.5 to 3.0 kgf/cm at ground con-
ditions in order to ensure the reliable ignition of fuel and steady running of the
compressor.
As soon as the fuel pressure in the primary fuel manifold comes to be within 5 to
6 kgf/cm2 , pressurizing air valve (46) cuts off the compressed air supply into the
main fuel manifold. Due to a combined action of the air starter and compressor turbine
excess power, the rotational speed of the gas generator rotor is increasing and the
compressor delivery pressure (PC) is rising.
As the air pressure increases, auto start control (37) re-sets itself to schedule the
fuel flow in proportion to the compressor delivery pressure and throttle valve (54)
moves to increase the area of the metering orifice.
Thus, the fuel flow delivered into the combustion chamber at starting during the time
period from the commencement of the ignition to the moment when the gas generator
rotor rotational speed reaches 45 % is a function of a setting of auto start control
(37).
As soon as the gas generator rotor RPM come to exceed 45 %, the acceleration time con-
trol unit starts limiting the fuel flow, whereas the auto start control gets discon-
nected due to the fact that the setting of the acceleration time control unit for
maintaining the fuel pressure is lower than that of the auto start control.
The acceleration time control unit schedules the fuel flow depending on the gas gene-
rator rotor RPM and the compressor delivery pressure, which allows to ensure the
required compressor stall margin at the acceleration characteristic at various alti-
tudes and climatic conditions. Simultaneously with the scheduling the fuel flow in
the course of engine starting, fuel control pressure transmitter (59) produces a fuel
control pressure which is proportional to the square of the gas generator RPM.
At starting conditions, the fuel control pressure serves to produce a signal for cut-
ting out the air starter, thereby preventing the air starter RPM from exceeding the
maximum permissible value.
As soon as the gas generator RPM reach a 60 to 65 % level, air starter cut-out control
valve (52) connects the fuel pressure from the constant pressure valve to air starter
cut-out control mechanism (50) which on opening its microswitch contacts de-energizes
the solenoid valve supplying air to the air starter.
When the gas generator rotor RPM reach a level corresponding to the idle setting of
gas generator speed governor (60), the latter comes into action and reduces the fuel
pressure in throttle valve (54) chamber Ю, thus repositioning the throttle valve so
as to schedule the fuel flow in accordance with the idle power requirements (Ngg = 75 %
at Tinl = +15 °C).
Apart from the effect of the compressor delivery pressure, the fuel flow at starting
is directly affected by the ambient pressure which is delivered to the altitude-sensing
unit of auto start control (37).
When starting the engine on a high-level pad or in flight, the auto start control (37)
setting varies in proportion to the ambient pressure due to the action of the altitude-
sensing unit, which is especially essential when the fuel is being lit up in the com-
bustion chamber. As the altitude of flight increases, the fuel flow required to main-
tain the gas generator idling RPM decreases in proportion to the ambient pressure.
When the altitude increases considerably (above 3 km), the fuel flow may become insuf-
ficient to ensure stable combustion in the combustion chamber.
To avoid this, the PCU is provided with low fuel pressure valve (34). that does not
allow the gas generator speed governor to reduce the fuel pressure below 12 kgf/cm2
which corresponds to a fuel flow of 90 kg/h. Therefore, when the altitude increases
above 3 km, the idle power will be controlled by the fuel flow, whereas the gas gene-
rator rotor rotational speed will be increasing.
The fuel flow into the combustion chamber at the steady-state operating conditions is
scheduled by the following units of the fuel and electric automatic equipment:
НОТЕ: The engine electronic governor is not fitted to some engine models (Ref.
Book 3).
In the course of operation of the engines in the helicopter, each of the above units,
as a rule, operates at certain operating conditions only.
The engine electronic governor (the gas generator circuit) schedules the fuel flow into
the engine at the maximum power condition by affecting the functioning of FCU el. ac-
tuator (24). Gas generator speed governor (60) controls the fuel flow into the engine
at the idle power.
The fuel flow into the engine at the maximum power condition, when the gas generator
circuit of the engine electronic governor fails or gets cut out, is controlled by gas
generator speed governor (60) or by maximum fuel flow limiter stop (15) before the
gas temperature controller comes into action.
Main rotor speed governor (28) schedules the fuel flow into the engine at the opera-
tional power conditions, starting from the condition when the twist grip is turned
fully clockwise (AUTO) and at higher power conditions (excepting the maximum power)
including the power glide. The gas temperature controller, operating in conjunction
with the PCU el. actuator (24), comes into operation when the compressor turbine
inlet gas temperature reaches a limit value, that is at a high OAT.
The engine electronic governor (the gas generator circuit) schedules the fuel flow
into the combustion chamber at the maximum power condition.
The setting of the engine electronic governor gas generator circuit is lower than
that of PCU gas generator speed governor (60).
As the gas generator rotor rotational speed comes to exceed the setting of the gas
generator circuit, the engine electronic governor produces a signal to PCU el. ac-
tuator (24). Depending on the duty cycle of the signals, the FCU el. actuator
increases the fuel spillage from chamber Ю of throttle valve (54). As the result,
the pressure in chamber В decreases and throttle valve (54) moves to reduce the
fuel flow into the combustion chamber and, correspondingly, to reduce the gas ge-
nerator rotor RPM.
For the operation of the engine electronic governor gas generator circuit, refer to
073.15.00 and 073.15.04.
Operation of Main Fuel System at Power Conditions Controlled by Gas Generator Speed
Governor
As indicated above, gas generator speed governor (60) (Ref. Pig. 6) comes into ope-
ration as the engine accelerates in the course of starting to the idle power. The
engine throttle control lever is set against the IDLE detent, the speed governor
setting being therewith at its minimum level, corresponding to the idling RPM. At
starting and idling conditions, the helicopter main rotor and the free turbines of
the RH and LH engines of the power plant are rotating at equal RPM not exceeding
65 percent while the main rotor speed govenors (28) of both engines are inoperative.
When advancing the engine control lever into the operational power conditions zone
(aecl>10deg),the setting of the gas generator speed governor increases and the
engine power increases in response to a throttle movement.
When throttling up the engine to aecl>70 deg, the setting of the gas generator
speed governor reaches a maximum value and remains unchanged at further movements
of the throttle (the maximum setting section of the gas generator speed governor
characteristic curve).
NОТЕ: Some engine models feature an additional maximum setting section (Ref. Book 3,
073.12.05).
To obtain the maximum gas generator rotor RPM corresponding to the maximum power, it
is necessary to reduce the main rotor RPM by stepping up the collective pitch to a
value corresponding to the maximum power condition at which the main rotor speed
governors get disengaged.
When operating within the outside air temperature range of minus 60 °C to a value
quoted in 073.12.05, "Fuel Control Unit - Description and Operation", Para 2.1, the
setting of the speed governor (60) is automatically corrected with respect to the
engine inlet air temperature.
The air is supplied to temperature-sensing probe (62) from the engine air intake
through a special air conduit owing to a difference between the pitot and static
pressures of the air upstream of the compressor.
The compensation for the gas generator speed governor setting with respect to the
engine inlet air temperature is also ensured at transient power conditions, in-
cluding the idling. The value of the temperature compensation for the governor (60)
setting for the different engine models is given in Book 3, 073.12.05, "Fuel Con-
trol Unit - Description and Operation", Para 2.1. At the same time, the inlet air
temperature compensation for the gas generator RPM limits the gas generator maximum
corrected RPM at a level not above the required one. As the OAT reaches a certain
level, the leverage transmitting forces from the temperature-sensing probe abuts
screw (21) and no temperature compensation of the RPM occurs at a further increase
in the OAT.
Operation of Main Fuel System at Power Conditions Controlled by Main Rotor Speed
Governor
The main rotor speed governor schedules the fuel flow and maintains the main rotor
RPM over the whole range of the operational power conditions starting from that at
which the twist grip ia turned fully clockwise (AUTO) and at higher power settings
except for the maximum power.
The main rotor speed governor controls the fuel flow into the engine combustion cham-
ber in a way similar to that of gas generator speed governor (60).
As the main rotor rotational speed rises, the main rotor speed governor trims the
fuel flow and rice versa, thus maintaining the main rotor rotational speed at all
operational power conditions within the limits specified in Book 3, 072.00.00,
"Engine - Description and Operation", Main Data.
The lower level of the fuel flow is limited by low fuel pressure valve (79) which
prevents uncoupling of the overrunning clutch at high main rotor RPM, whereas the
higher level of the fuel flow is limited by the engine electronic governor, gaa
generator speed governor (60) or the gaa temperature controller.
On some engine models, the lower level of the fuel flow is limited by low fuel
pressure valve (34) (Ref. Book 3, 073.12.00).
At the power conditions controlled by the main rotor speed governor, the engine
electronic governor and the gas generator rotor speed governor remain inoperative
since their setting is higher. Since the power available, preset by the engine
electronic governor (by the gas generator circuit) and by the gas generator speed
governor, exceeds the power consumed by the main rotor, the excess power (that is
the excess fuel flow) is cut down by the main rotor speed governor. When the heli-
copter's engines are running concurrently, the free turbines rotate at the same
speed controlled by the main rotor, whereas the settings of the governors of the
LH and RH engines do not coincide completely, which results in the engines operat-
ing at different power conditions, that is at different RPM of the gas generators.
Since the characteristic curve of the main rotor speed governors is made slanted,
the main rotor rotational speed varies with the fuel flow, that is with the power
conditions, which brings about a worsening of the main rotor operating conditions
and hampers the handling of the helicopter.
To provide more favourable operational conditions for the main rotor and to facili-
tate the handling of the helicopter, the main rotor rotational speed is maintained
within the limits specified in Book 3, 072.00.00, "Engine - Description and Opera-
tion". To achieve this, a provision is made in governor (28) (Ref. Fig. 6) for cor-
rector (27), which provides means for correcting (eliminating) a 6 percent static
error Ъу varying the speed governor setting.
The required value of the correction is ensured by a specific profile of the cor-
rector cam. A change in the main rotor pitch causes a simultaneous change in the
angle of turning of engine control lever (22), the corrector cam being secured on
the ваше axle with the engine control lever. As the control lever setting changes
from the angle of 30 deg to the angle of 114 deg, the corrector cam changes the
setting of the main rotor speed governor by 6 percent, thus shifting the speed
governor characteristic curve shown in Figure 7.
If the correction were not provided, then with the fuel flow increasing from G1 to
G2 (Ref. Fig. 8), the main rotor speed would be decreased by the ДН value
(points 1 and 2.1). But owing to the existence of the correction, the governor set-
ting is shifted towards higher RPM by the value of dN, which results in the main
rotor RBI remaining unchanged (point 2) despite the static nature of the governor
characteristic.
Thus, the 6 % correction cam helps to maintain the main rotor RPM at all operational
power conditions within the limits specified in Book 3, 072.00.00, "Engine -
Description and Operation".
TheFCUincorporates resetting mechanism (30) (Ref. Fig. 6), which provides for a
manual adjustment of the main rotor RPM on a running engine. The resetting mechanism
is controlled with the aid of resetting lever (23).
As the lever is turned from the 0-deg position to the 100-deg position, the cam
located on the axle of lever (23) varies the main rotor speed governor setting by
15 56.
With the engine running in the helicopter, the resetting lever is set to a position
near the 66-deg mark and the main rotor rotates at a speed close to the rated value.
When the TIT comes to exceed the setting of the temperature controller, the latter
starts sending signals to FCU el. actuator (24). At the same time the annunciator
starts flashing.
As the TIT grows further, the duty cycle of the signals and the frequency of flesh-
ing of the annunciator increase, which results in an increase in the fuel spillage
from throttle valve (54) chamber Ю through FCU el. actuator (24) and, therefore, in
a reduction in the fuel flow to the engine combustion chamber. The on-speed power
condition of the engine running concurrently and the gas temperature controller at
all operational conditions lies within a range of the TIT equal to 975 to 990 °C.
The FCU is provided with interlock control valve (25) of the FCU el. actuator, which
comes into action in case of a failure of the gas temperature controller, caused by
a false continuous signal or a high overtemperature signal fed to the FCU el. actua-
tor, which would have resulted in a substantial reduction in the engine power condi-
tion. As the gas generator RPM drop to (85+/I) percent, the control pressure is sup-
plied from transmitter (59) to interlock control valve {25) causing the latter to
isolate the chamber D of throttle valve (54) from POT el. actuator (24), thus ter-
minating the reduction in the power condition.
For the operation of the gas temperature limiting system, refer to 073.17.00.
With the engine running at transient conditions of power increase (that is at the ac-
celeration), the main fuel control system shall provide for the scheduling the fuel
flow into the combustion chamber so that it will ensure freedom from gas overtempera-
ture and sufficient engine performance stability margin.
The control over the functioning of the compressor VGV's and air bleed valves is ef-
fected simultaneously with the fuel flow scheduling.
The acceleration time control unit, as it was indicated when the engine starting pro-
cess was described, comes into action before the engine attains the idle power. At
the idling conditions the acceleration time control unit is cut off, because the fuel
flow into the engine is controlled by the gas generator speed governor, whereas the
acceleration time control unit is pre-set so as to maintain a higher fuel flow, that
is the control valve of pressure differential valve (51) isolates chamber Ю of throt-
tle valve (54) from the spill line.
When shifting engine control lever (22) towards higher power settings, the gas genera-
tor speed governor (60) cam compresses the governor spring which causes a lever to
close the spill valve in chamber Ю of throttle valve (54). As the result, the pressure
within chamber Ю will increase and throttle valve (54) will start moving towards in-
creasing the fuel flow. As the speed of travel of throttle valve (54), which is a fun-
ction of the flow rates of jet (35) and flow restrictor (36), is considerably higher
than the rate of a fuel flow growth demanded by the engine, the travel of throttle
valve (54) is slowed down by the acceleration time control unit.
As the fuel flow passing through throttle valve (54) increases, the fuel pressure drop
across acceleration time control unit throttle valve (39) rises, which leads to a pro-
portional increase in the pressure applied upon differential valve (51) diaphragm and
causes the control valve of the differential valve to move to the left.
Chamber Ю of throttle valve (54) gets connected to the spill line and the movement of
throttle valve (54) towards increasing the fuel flow is slowed down.
However, due to the fact that valve (51) limits the fuel flow at в higher level than
that at the steady-state operating conditions, the gas generator rotor RPM and the
compressor delivery air pressure (Pc) keep on growing, which brings about a further
readjustment of the acceleration time control unit towards ensuring a higher fuel flow
in consistence with the increase in the gas generator rotor RPM and compressor deli-
very air pressure. As the result, throttle valve (54) is enabled to continue its move-
ment towards opening the orifice.
As soon as the engine accelerates to a power condition limited by any of the governors
(that is gas generator speed governor or main rotor speed governor) or by the gas
temperature controller, the excess fuel delivered by the acceleration time control
unit is cut off and the engine comes to operate at the steady-state operating condi-
tions.
Control of Compressor Variable Guide Vane Assemblies and Air Bleed Valves
To ensure the engine basic performance parameters and stability margin, the engine is
provided with the variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV's) and variable guide vanes (VGV's)
of the compressor stages 1 through 4 and has a provision for the air bleed from com-
pressor stage 7 into atmosphere by means of air bleed valves (64) (Ref. Fig. 6).
The control over the compressor VGV's is effected by the VGV control mechanism with
respect to the corrected gas generator RPM.
At the starting conditions and when Ngg corr is below 81 percent, the VGV's are set
against the upper stop (i.e. the VGV's are closed). Starting from Ngg corr>81 per
cent, the VGV's are getting open in accordance with a linear relationship. At
Ngg corr = 100 percent, avgv is equal to 0 deg, and when Ngg corr comes to exceed
102 percent, the VGV's come to rest against the lower stop.
The reversal of the VGV's is effected by two hydraulic power cylinders (63) and (66),
one of which (cylinder (63)) being built into the FCU.
Hydraulic power cylinder (66) is provided with limit switch (65), which produces a
command signal for closing compressor air bleed valves (64) when the hydraulic cylin-
der sets the VGV's to a position corresponding to avgv = 22 deg, i.e. at Ngg corr = 84
to 87 percent.
Operation of Main Fuel System when Engine Gets Shut Down by Free Turbine Protection
System
At all engine operating power conditions, the high—pressure fuel is delivered from
chamber M of FCU constant-pressure differential valve (53) (Ref. Fig. 6) to el. actua-
tor (78).
When the free turbine protection system comes into operation, el. actuator (78) con-
nects chamber M of constant-pressure differential valve (53) to the spill line, which
leads to an increase in the pressure differential across the diaphragm of constant-
pressure differential valve (53). Constant-pressure differential valve (53) moves to
the right and causes the fuel upstream of the throttle valve to spill, thus reducing
the fuel pressure aft of the throttle valve to a level at which shut-off valve (43)
gets closed. Shut-off valve (43) gets closed and terminates the fuel flow into the
combustion chamber.
For the operation of the free turbine protection system, refer to 073.16.00.
The engine shut-down is effected by moving the shut-down valve (44) (Ref. Fig. 6)
lever of the FCU to the SHUT-DOWH (СТОП) position. In this case, the fuel line up-
stream of shut-off valve (43) gets connected to the spill line and shut off.
The operation of the main fuel system in the course of concurrently-running engines
in the helicopter power plant is described in Book 3, 073.12.00.

Principle of Operation
(Ref. 73.12.00, Fig. 6)
Used as working medium for the fuel control unit automatic equipment elements is the
engine fuel.
The automatic equipment elements operating pressure is the excess pressure over that
of the spillage in the fuel control unit.
The supply of fuel into the combustion chamber is a function of a position of throttle
valve (54), as the pressure differential across the throttle valve orifice is main-
tained constant by constant-pressure differential valve (53)
The position of throttle valve (54) is determined by the governors varying the fuel
pressure within chamber Ю.
Departure of any of the controlled parameters, for example, towards a higher value
causes the valve of the respective governor to open still more. As the result, the
pressure in chamber Ю drops and throttle valve (54) is shifted upwards, thus reducing
the metering orifice and the fuel flow to a value required for the recovery of the con-
trolled parameter and vice versa.
The auto start control and acceleration time control unit exercise the control over
the position of throttle valve (54) at starting and acceleration by scheduling the fuel
flow in compliance with the pre-set schedules. The maximum fuel flow limiter ensures
the maximum fuel flow consistent with the maximum permissible power.
Minimum fuel pressure valve (34) controls the position of throttle valve (54) at an
engine deceleration ensuring the limitation of minimum constant fuel flow. Each gover-
nor of the steady-state power conditions controls the position of throttle valve (54)
scheduling the fuel flow required to sustain the pre-set value of the controlled para-
meter. The operating range of the governors controlling the steady-state operating
conditions is limited at one side by the program of the acceleration time control unit
and at the other side by the low fuel pressure valve.
Main Data
Voltage (27+2.7) V
Temperature range:
The inlet fuel filter ia intended to filter the fuel supplied to the FCU.
The filter oonsita of brass housing (7) (Ref. Fig. 3) with gauze (6), the mesh size
of 0.160 mm and bottom (8) soldered to it.
Provided on filter housing (7) are six radial slots and one axial hole which forms
a passage to the filtered fuel. The filter is inserted into the FCU casing and tight-
ened with straight-through connection (3). The clearance between the filter and the
connection is taken up with the aid of shims (5). Rubber ring (4) serves to seal
straight-through connection. Pitted onto straight-through connection (3) is swivel
connection (2) with two sealing rings (10). The swivel connection is tightened to
the straight-through connection (3) collar by plug (1). Fuel is delivered to swivel
connection (2) from the engine low-pressure fuel system.
The HP fuel pump serves to supply fuel into the main fuel manifold and to feed the
automatic system units.
The HP fuel pump (Ref. Fig. 4) incorporates a casing, a pumping section, a face seal,
a spacer, and a FCU-to-engine attachment flange.
The pumping section of the pump consists of rotor (8), plungers (4), cage (3), thrust
disc (2), and distributor control valve (7).
Rotor (8) is mounted in the casing in two bearings: copper-carbon bearing (6) located
in the casing chamber, and roller bearing (11) press-fitted into spacer (9) bushing
(18). The spillage pressure presses the rotor to distributor control valve (7). The
rotor is provided with one axial hole and seven inclined holes. Pressed into the in-
clined holes from the extension side and then opened out are brass bushings (5) whicn
provide accommodation to moving plungers (4).
Machined in the mid portion of the axial hole are splines for rotor drive torsion
shaft (15) and the gas generator rotor speed transducers drive. A retaining ring
prevents the torsion shaft from axial movement, whereas the transducers drive is
loaded from the top by a spring. The rotor axial hole is sealed by rubber rings
fitted into the grooves of the GG rotor speed transducers drive extension. Secured by
rolling over to the heads of steel plungers (4) are steel footstep bearings with a
brass plate, the footstep bearings resting upon a spherical inclined surface of the
thrust disc. The plungers and the footstep bearings are pressed to the thrust disc by
the fuel pressure, the guides press-fitted into the rotor holes providing the second
support for the plungers. To improve the working conditions, the plunger heads and

footstep bearings are provided with holes supplying the high-pressure fuel from under
the plungers to the contact points of the footstep bearings and the thrust disc. The
footstep bearings cylindrical portions enter the ports made in cage (3) which ensures
a proper bedding of the footstep bearings and thrust disc (2).
Thrust disc (2) is made of steel, its one face being flat and the other shaped as a
sphere with its axis positioned at an angle to the thrust disc axis. Made in the
centre of the thrust disc is a hole providing a passage for the rotor extension and ac-
commodation to cage (3) and its support. The external surface of the thrust disc has
an attachment collar and a slot for a key preventing rotation of the thrust disc.
Distributor control valve (7) of the rotor is made of brass and its surface contacting
the rotor is machined to a high degree of surface finish. The control valve has two
shaped ports which serve to deliver fuel to and tap fuel from the rotor, and an axial
hole providing accommodation to the gas generator speed transducer drive.
The face seal ensures tightness of the FCU at the rotor extension. The seal unit com-
prises cover (16), floating ring (14),bushing (13), a spring, and bushing (12). On
some versions of the FCU, floating ring (14) is substituted for bushing (18) (Ref.
Detail 1) and additional seal (19) is introduced. Cover (16) is secured to spacer (9)
with six studs. The spacer-to-cover joint is sealed with a paronite gasket. Bushing
(13) is put onto the rotor extension and rotates together with the latter. The active
surfaces of cover (16), floating ring/bushing (14) and bushing (13) ere machined so
that a close bedding is provided over the whole surface. A spring presses bushing (13)
and floating ring/bushing (14) to cover (16).
The fuel seeped through along the adjoining surfaces of the bushing, floating ring/
bushing and cover finds its way into the grooves of the floating ring/bushing, then
passes through the holes in floating ring/bushing (14), cover (16) and spacer (9) and
flows through the drain connection and ejector into the exhaust stack.
Having passed through the FCU inlet fuel filter, the fuel flows via port 'a' (Ref.
Fig. 4) of distributor control valve (7) into rotor (8) under the plungers. Acted
upon by the fuel pressure, the plungers are constantly pressed to the spherical sur-
face of thrust disc (2). The spherical surface of the disc is inclined at an angle
to the rotor rotation plane and, owing to this, when the rotor is rotating, the
plungers are eliding with their footstep bearings over the thrust disc, thus perform-
ing a reciprocating motion in the recesses made in the rotor. Having passed port 'a'
of the distributor valve, the plungers, while moving, are drawing in the fuel from
the low-pressure line and on passing port 'б' are forcing the fuel into the high-
pressure line.
The output of the pumping section is a function of the gas generator rotor RPM: as
the RPM rise, the output increases.
The purpose of the throttle valve is to supply fuel into the engine.
The throttle valve comprises spool (3) (Ref. Fig. 5), barrel (2), servopiston (5), and
fuel valve (9).
The middle portion of spool (3) is milled in two places to make a profiled active por-
tion of the control valve. A through hole is made along the control valve axis. One
side of the control valve is threaded to accommodate servopiston (5) attachment
bolt (12).
The metering orifice of the throttle valve is shaped by a clearance between the bar-
rel (2) middle collar and the profiled portion of spool (3). Double-sided fluoroplastic
servopiston (5) of the throttle valve is secured to the spool with bolt (12) and pre-
vented from turning by two flats made on the control valve end face.
Bolt (12) has an axial channel with a dia 1.2 mm orifice which serves for passage of
fuel and a head with a hex, the head butt end acting as a seat for valve (9). Fuel
valve (9) is mounted on servopiston (5) of the throttle valve with the aid of sleeve
(10) fitted into a circular groove made in the piston bottom and pressed to the latter
by spring (6).
The opening of the fuel valve is ensured by the spring which presses valve (9) to the
collar of sleeve (10). The closure of the valve occurs during the upward movement of
throttle valve spool (3) when it comes in contact with low fuel flow adjustment
screw (8) fitted in a boss of body (7).
The downward travel of throttle valve spool (3) is limited by maximum fuel flow adj-
ustment screw (14).
The fuel flow control into the combustion chamber is effected by varying the section-
al area of orifice 'Ц' with the pressure differential across the throttle valve main-
tained constant with the aid of the constant-pressure differential valve. The section-
al area of the orifice is varied by displacing spool (3) with the aid of servo-
piston (5). acted upon from the bottom by the throttle valve downstream pressure and
from the top by the force of spring (6) and the fuel pressure in chamber Ю.
Fuel is admitted into chamber Ю through feed jet (35) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6) and
flows out of the chamber via flow-through valves of the main rotor speed governor as
well as through the auto start control valve and the acceleration time control unit
differential valve.
In order to ensure the stable operation of the gas generator and main rotor speed
governors, their valves are made of the "flow-through" type, that is when the said
speed governors are closed, some small amount of fuel still flows through the valves
so as to prevent sticking of the valves at their lapped surfaces.
As the pressure in chamber Ю increases (due to a partial closure of one of the gover-
nor valves) spool (3) moves downwards and increases the throttle valve orifice area
and, consequently, the fuel flow. As the pressure in chamber Ю decreases, the throttle
valve moves upwards and decreases the fuel flow.
With the engine at a standstill, the servopiston and the throttle valve, acted upon by
the force of spring (6), come to rest against maximum fuel flow adjustment screw (14).
At the initial stage of engine starting, the fuel pressure delivered from the pumping
section acts upon the servopiston bottom and moves It upwards to abut low fuel flow
adjustment screw (8). The fuel is spilled from chamber Ю through fuel valve (9),
opened by the spring. This causes fast displacement of spool (3). As the spool comes
to bear upon screw (8), fuel valve (9) gets closed, the pressure in chamber Ю rises,
and spool (3) starts moving towards increasing the fuel flow, while fuel valve (9),
acted upon by the increased pressure in chamber 10, remains closed until the engine
comes to a standstill.
One butt end of cylindrical piston (5) is provided with a collar and a hole for
diaphragm (1) attachment screw (2). Diaphragm (1) is made of rubberized fabric and
secured to the piston (5) butt end by means of screw (2).
Pitted into a recess in the diaphragm disc is valve support (11), the force of
spring (9) being applied to the support via valve disc support (10) and spring
disc (7). Cover (8) provides the second support for the spring. The tension of the
spring is adjusted by selective fitment of shims (13).
A proportion of the fuel supplied by the high-pressure fuel pump to the throttle
valve and the face of piston (5) is directed by the face of piston (5) to the return
line. Piston (5) with diaphragm (1) is in equilibrium due to the balance of the fuel
pressure upstream of the throttle valve, acting from the left, and the fuel pressure
downstream of the throttle valve plus the force of spring (9), acting from the right.
When the equilibrium state is disturbed, that is when the pressure differential across
the metering orifice of the throttle valve changes, diaphragm (1) moves together with
piston (5) and changes the amount of the fuel being spilled. In the case of the throt-
tle valve moving towards increase of the metering orifice, the pressure differential
across the metering orifice decreases, the fuel pressure upstream of the throttle valve
drops, while that downstream of the throttle valve rises and, ae the result, valve
piston (5) moves to the left thus reducing the amount of the fuel being spilled until
the equilibrium state is recovered, which happens when the pre-set pressure differ-
ential is regained. When the metering orifice is being decreased, the fuel pressure
upstream of the throttle valve increases and that downstream of the throttle valve
drops, piston (5) moves to the right and the fuel spillage increases until the requir-
ed pressure differential is regained. Therefore, by varying the amount of fuel being
spilled, the constant-pressure differential valve maintains the constant fuel pressure
differential across the throttle valve regardless of its position.
Shut-Down Valve
The shut-down valve provides the mechanical means for cutting-off the fuel flow into
the engine and by-passing the fuel from the fuel line downstream of the shut-down valve
into the spillage line.
The shut-down valve consists of sleeve (2) (Ref. Pig. 7), shaft (3) and lever (1).
Shaft (3) is basically a steel component having an axial blind bore and two pairs of
ports: a pair of rectangular ports 'c' being used for delivery of the fuel from the
acceleration time control unit throttle valve to the system of valves supplying fuel
to the engine primary and main manifolds, and a pair of circular ports 'б' serving to
by-pass the fuel into the spill line. Made on the surface of the shaft are two grooves
accommodating rubber sealing rings. Secured to the splines provided in the outer end
of the shaft is shut-down valve lever (1).
Steel sleeve (2) of the shut-down valve has two grooves with rectangular ports provid-
ing passages for fuel. A larger port allows fuel to flow to the engine main fuel
nozzles whereas a smaller one serves to by-pass fuel into the fuel spill line.
Stamped on the sleeve flange are letters P and С which stand for the OPERATING POSI-
TION (РАБОЧЕЕ ПОЛОЖЕНИЕ) and STOP (СТОП) and identify the respective steps on the shut-
down valve lever.
Lever (1) is cast of steel and has two bosses, one being splined to secure the lever
to shaft (3) by means of a coupling bolt, and the other having a smooth hole which

serves for attachment of the engine control rods. The lever is provided with a rectan-
gular lug entering the slot in the sleeve and serving as a stop restricting the range
of travel of shut-down valve lever (1) within 90 degrees. In this case, the masking of
the passage begins when the lever has been turned through 4 degrees.
The high-pressure fuel is delivered from downstream of the acceleration time control
unit throttle valve along passage 'e'. The rectangular port 'c' and passage 'Д' serve
to supply fuel to the system of valves supplying fuel to the primary and main fuel
manifolds.
With the shut-down valve open, the circular spill ports 'б' are masked with sleeve (2).
As lever (1) is turned through an angle of approximately 40 degrees into the upper
position, the ports 'б' are connected with passage 'a' and the high-pressure fuel ad-
mitted through passage 'e' is by-passed to the spill line. Owing to this, no surging
shock occurs when the fuel flow is abruptly cut off. As the result, the fuel pressure
in the passage drops. As the lever continues to move downwards, sleeve (2) masks the
rectangular ports 'c', thus cutting off the fuel flow to the system of valves supply-
ing fuel to the primary and main fuel manifolds.
Shut-off valve spool (3) (Ref. Fig. 8) is intended to supply fuel to the primary fuel
manifold and to shut off the fuel flow into the primary fuel manifold when the engine
is brought to a standstill.
The shut-off valve comprises spool (3) sliding inside barrel (2), seat (4) and
spring (11). Barrel (2) has two rows of holes allowing fuel to pass to spool (3) from
the acceleration time control unit throttle valve and a passage upstream of the
throttle valve. Spool (3) is pressed to seat (4) by spring (11) fitted with one end
into a blind boring of spool (3), the other end resting against the pilot fillet of
spring disc (12).
Shut-off valve seat (4) is made in a form of a threaded sleeve with a through stepped
bore providing accommodation to the back-up valve and a connection supplying fuel to
the primary fuel manifold.
The back-up valve serves to create additional hydraulic resistance in order to main-
tain the required fuel pressure downstream of the throttle valve which is necessary
to move the servopiston of the throttle valve at starting.
The back-up valve of the primary fuel manifold incorporates spool (9), barrel (10)
and spring (5). Inserted into a central hole of barrel (10) is the extension of
spool (9)i resting with its head against the barrel fillet. Barrel (10) has an axial
hole with two profiled ports which serve to deliver fuel to the back-up valve
spool (9) head. Spool (9) is provided with a spherical head carrying a support of
valve spring (5). Acting as the second support of spring (5) is step (6) fitted into
a bore in straight-through connection (7) and intended to restrict the travel of
spool (9).
The fuel, passing through the throttle valve and the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve, enters recess 'a' in shut-off valve spool (3). As the fuel pressure
2
builds up to a level of (3-0.5) kgf/cm , spring (11) gets compressed and the valve
becomes open. At the instant of valve opening, the gas generator speed shall be equal
to 15 to 20 %, which ia ensured by selective fitment of special jet (к) (Ref. 073.12.00,
Fig. 6) installed in the fuel pressure line supplying the throttle valve upstream fuel
pressure to ports 'б' made in barrel (2) (Ref. Pig. 8). When the valve is closed, the
high-pressure fuel ia by-passed from the pumping section to the spill line through
jet (к) and port 'б' in the barrel. When the valve becomes open, port 'б' gets masked
by spool (3) and the fuel spillage Is discontinued.
When the engine is shut down, the fuel pressure upstream of the shut-off valve drops
and the shut-off valve gets closed by the spring thus ensuring reliable and prompt
cut-off of the fuel flow into the primary fuel manifold.
Pitted in the shut-off valve outlet is the back-up valve creating additional hydraulic
resistance controlled by a tension of spring (5).
On a running engine, spool (9) is resting against the stop and does not affect the
operation.
The distributor valve serves to Initiate the fuel flow into the main fuel manifold
depending on the fuel pressure downstream of the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve.
The distributor valve includes barrel (6) (Ref. Pig. 9), spool (5), plug (2), adjust-
ment screw (1), and spring (3). Barrel (6) has ports providing passage to fuel.
The high-pressure fuel is delivered from downstream of the acceleration time control
unit throttle valve via port (7) and then flows through passage 'a' and the shut-off
valve to the connection tapping fuel to the main fuel manifold. The high-pressure fuel
tapped from upstream of the throttle valve is delivered into passage 'б' in order to
build up a counterpressure with the aid of reducing leakages of the metered fuel. The
two extreme lower collars have spiral grooves to provide for damping the spool in
order to eliminate fluctuation of the fuel pressure. Spring (3) loads spool (5) from
the top, the spring (3) tension being adjusted by screw (1) driven into plug (2) and
resting against the second disc of spring (3).
The shut-off valve is intended to completely cut off the fuel flow into the main fuel
manifold when the engine is being shut down.
The shut-off valve of the main fuel manifold is fitted in fuel outlet connection (9).
It comprises valve (14), valve seat (15), spring (13), and guide bushing (12).
Valve (14) is of the disc type and has an extension entering the hole in guide bush-
ing (12). The working end face of valve (14) incorporates a shoulder, with the help of
which the spool rests against the butt end of seat (15). Valve (14) is pressed to
seat (15) by spring (13). Valve seat (15) is basically a steel bushing having a central
hole providing passage to fuel.
Having passed the acceleration time control unit throttle valve, the fuel is delivered
to port (7) and then supplied further along the damping clearance between spool (5) and
barrel (6) to the underside of spool (5) end face. When the fuel pressure builds up to
a pre-set level, spool (5) overcomes the force of spring (3) and moves upwards, thus
starting to unmask two rectangular ports 'a' in barrel (6). Having passed through
ports 'a', the fuel flows through the central hole in valve seat (15) to valve (14)
which overcomes the force of spring (13) and moves to the left, thus allowing fuel to
flow through connection (9) into the main fuel manifold. Aa the fuel pressure down-
stream of the acceleration time control unit throttle valve grows, ports 'a' in bar-
rel (6) are progressively unmasked and the fuel flow to the main fuel manifold in-
creases.
The initiation of fuel flow into the main fuel manifold, which depends on a fuel pres-
sure upstream of the distributor valve, is pre-set by tensioning spring (3) with the
aid of adjustment screw (1). The throttle valve upstream fuel pressure delivered to
spool (5) along passage (4) prevents the metered fuel from flowing along the clear-
ance between spool (5) and barrel (6) into the spring chamber under spool (5).
The air bleed valve serves to bleed air from the PCU and is also used to fill the FCU
with oil during the inhibiting procedure.
The air bleed valve includes connection (4) (Ref. Fig. 10) which houses bushing (1),
ball (2) and spring (3). The connection is threaded at both ends, one threaded end
used for screwing the valve into a threaded hole in the PCU body, while the other
threaded end is intended for nut (5). Bushing (1) acts as a seat for ball (2) and is
secured in the connection by rolling over its collar.
The filters of the fuel flow regulator and throttle valve are intended for additional
cleaning of the fuel delivered to the precision pairs of the fuel flow regulator and
throttle valve and to ensure a higher standard of reliability of FCU operation.
The central filters of the throttle valve and fuel flow regulator comprise fourteen
sections (6) (Ref. Fig. 11) fitted onto filter frame (5) and tightened by bushing (10)
and shims (9). Each section consists of a corrugated disc and two gauzes-attached to
each other by rings. Should the filter get clogged, the fuel will open valve (8) and
by-pass the capsules. The valve is pressed to the seat by spring (7). The valve in-
corporatea magnetic ring (4) which serves to catch metallic particles released into
fuel in the course of the running-in of the FCU friction components.
Constant-Pressure Valve
The constant-pressure valve serves to reduce the fuel high pressure downstream of the
pumping section into a constant one, used to feed free turbine fuel control pressure
transmitter (29) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6) and gas generator fuel control pressure
transmitter (59) as well as the passages controlling acceleration time control unit
throttle valve (39).
The external surface of spool (2) (Ref. Fig. 12) has two wide grooves providing pas-
sages for fuel, interconnected by a passage and a row of loading grooves providing
a labyrinth type seal along the clearance. The spool terminates in a head with e col-
lar with the help of which the spool rests against barrel (1) and which at the same
time acts as a support for spring (3). The spring tension is adjusted by shims (5).
The initial position of constant-pressure valve spool (2) is the extreme upper posi-
tion when the spool acted upon by spring (3) comes to bear with its collar upon bar-
rel (1). After passing fine filter (56) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6), passage'r'(Ref.
Fig. 12} and a port in barrel (l), the high-pressure fuel tapped from downstream of
the pumping section is throttled by spool edge 'Д' and admitted into passage '6',
a portion of the fuel being directed therewith into chamber 'B' above the face of
spool (2) through a groove and a damping clearance between the spool (2) collar and
barrel (1).
The value of the fuel throttled pressure IP established by a balance of forces acting
upon spool (2): the fuel pressure in chamber 'B' equal to that throttled by edge 'Д'
above the spool and the summary force of spring (3) and the fuel spillage pressure in
chamber 'a' acting on the spool underside. A change in the throttled pressure in
chamber 'в' causes a displacement of the spool, which changes the throttling of the
fuel at its edges, thus ensuring the constant pressure in passage ' б'. The value of
the fuel pressure is established by a tension of spring (3).
The gas generator fuel control pressure transmitter serves to reduce the constant-
pressure fuel into the control pressure Pcont gg which is proportional to the square
of the gas generator rotor rotational speed. The control pressure Pcont gg used to
control the air starter cutout control valve and the FCU el. actuator cutout control
valve, and to provide for operation of the acceleration time control unit and the
compressor VGV control mechanism. The fuel control pressure Рcont gg which is pro-
portional to the square of the main rotor rotational speed, is used to control the
power synchronizer cutout control valve.
The gas generator fuel control pressure transmitter consists of spool (1) (Ref.
Fig. 13), barrel (2) and a centrifugal flyweights assembly. Barrel (2) has two exter-
nal grooves provided with radial ports, the upper groove having eight ports and the
lower groove, four ports.

Spool (1) has two external grooves. The соnstant-pressure fuel is delivered to the
wide lower groove 'a' through the ports in barrel (2). The middle groove of the spool
is separated from the lower one by means of a working collar and connected to spill
chamber 'б' via an axial port in the spool.
Upper groove 'c' of the spool is connected with a passage located opposite the spool
working collar and, owing to a portion of the constant-pressure fuel being by-passed
into the spill line by the spool working collar, the control pressure Pcont gg is
built up in the said passage. The control pressure Pcont gg is supplied into groove
'c' and the chamber above the spool upper end face. Soldered to the spool lower end
face is support (3) with a spherical recess. Needle (4) bears upon this recess and
transmits the force developed by flyweights (5) to spool (1). The second support of
needle (4) is soldered into flyweight (5).
The centrifugal flyweights assembly consists of fork (6) with two flyweights (5).
The flyweights are fitted on axles between two jaws of the fork and have a freedom
to turn through a certain angle. The flyweights axles are prevented from falling out
by means of shroud (12) which is rolled over to fork (6). Pork (6) and sliding bear-
ing (7) are fitted in the bore of the FCU body and located axially with nut (11) which
is prevented from turning by retainer (10). Retainer (10) is sandwiched between
nut (11) and washer (9). The sliding bearing made as a bronze sleeve is provided with
a row of spiral grooves and lubricated with the fuel supplied through the inclined
holes in fork (6) in order to reduce the friction between the sleeve and the fork.
The main rotor fuel control pressure transmitter comprises the same structural ele-
ments, but the pressure Pcont gg is delivered to the underside of the spool upper end
face via a damping clearance which reduces the fluctuation of the Pcont mr pressure
during variation of the main rotor rotational speed (Nmr).
One centrifugal flyweights assembly is driven by torsion shaft (25) (Ref. Fig. 18)
which receives a drive from the gas generator rotor, whereas the other is driven by
torsion shaft (26) coupled to the free turbine via a reduction gear.
Spool (1) ie in equilibrium state due to the balance existing between the force of
the flyweights acting from below and fuel control pressure Pcont acting on the spool
end face from above. When the equilibrium is disturbed, e.g. when the speed increases,
the spool moves upwards and decreases with its working collar the amount of fuel being
by-passed into the spill line. As the result, the fuel control pressure Poont will be
increasing until the force of the flyweights comes to equal the control pressure
acting on the spool end face. When the rotational speed decreases, the spool moves
downwards, thus increasing the amount of fuel being spilled and decreasing the fuel
control pressure until the equilibrium state has been regained. Since the centrifugal
force of the flyweights is proportional to the square of the rotational speed, the
fuel control pressure is also proportional to the square of the rotational speed.
The air starter cutout control valve is intended to supply the fuel pressure delivered
to the diaphragm of the air starter cutout microswitch. The air starter cutout control
valve consists of barrel (1) (Ref. Fig. 14), spool (2), spring (4), and adjustment
screw (7). Barrel (1) is provided with four pairs of straight and two pairs of incli-
ned ports and pressed into a bore in the POT body.
The external surface of spool (2) has two wide and two narrow grooves providing pas-
sages for fuel. The upper groove serves to spill fuel into the spring chamber via
a port in the spool. At one side the spool has a spherical surface with the aid of
which it rests upon the bottom of the bore in the FCU body, whereas at the other side
the spool is provided with a head, with spring (4) disc (3) fitted onto it. Acting as
the second support of the spring is support (5) which is fitted with its spherical
surface onto the spherical surface of adjustment screw (7).
The travel of spool (2) is restricted by skirt of plug (6). The tension of spring (4)
is adjusted with the aid of adjustment screw (7) driven into plug (6).
As long as the rotational speed remains below the level of the air starter cutout
control valve actuation RPM, the said control valve acted upon fay the force of
spring (4) rests upon the atop in the extreme lower position. As soon as the air
starter cutout pre-set speed equal to 60 to 65 % has been reached/the Pcont gg
pressure which is supplied to groove 'K' and then flows via damping clearances
between barrel (1) and spool (2) into the chamber under the spool, builds up the
force required to shift the spool upwards.
In this case, the constant-pressure fuel gets connected via groove 'П' with groove
'p' which communicates with the microswitch diaphragm chamber. At the same time, the
micrоswitch diaphragm chamber becomes isolated from the spill chamber to which it
was connected via drilling 'c' provided in spool (2).
The fuel pressure under the diaphragm increases and the diaphragm gets deflected
thus causing the actuation of the microswitch.
The air starter cutout control mechanism is intended to break the air starter sole-
noid valve electric circuit on receiving a signal from the air starter cutout control
valve. The air starter cutout control mechanism comprises diaphragm (6) (Ref.
Fig. 15) and microswitch (11).
Diaphragm (6) is a circular component made of rubberized linen clamped between two
discs.
The steel discs are coupled together with the aid of a screw made integral with the
upper disc. Diaphragm spring (5) rests upon the upper disc. Acting as the second sup-
port of the spring is a disc placed via shim (3) on the bottom of a bore in adap-
ter (8). The tension of spring (5) is adjusted by shims (3).

At zero fuel pressure in the chamber under diaphragm (6), the diaphragm is deflected
downwards under the action of spring (5) and its rod does not bear upon microswitch
button (2). Microswitch (11) completes the electric circuit to the air starter sole-
noid valve.
When the air starter cutout control valve comes into operation, the high-pressure fuel
is delivered to the underside of diaphragm (6) and the diaphragm overcomes the force
of spring (5), deflects upwards and its rod depresses microswitch (11) button (2).
The microswitch breaks the electric circuit to the air starter solenoid valve.
The purpose of the gas generator speed governor is to maintain the gas generator
rotor rotational speed at the idle and maximum power conditions to the pre-set accu-
racy as well as to set the power conditions with respect to the gas generator rotor
rotational speed by operating the engine control lever when the main rotor speed
governor is inoperative. The gas generator speed governor incorporates valve (4)
(Ref. Fig. 16), a centrifugal flyweights assembly, spring (7), engine control lever
shaft (21), engine control lever (24), cam (30), lever (12) with temperature com-
pensator (15), lever (29), idling power adjustment screw (38), and gas generator
rotor maximum rotational speed adjustment worm (52) with adjustment screw (46).
Valve (4) consists of flow-through valve (53), spring (54), retaining ring (55),
sleeve (56) and disc valve disc (57). Steel flow-through valve (53) has
in its lower portion an orifice-jet. Provided between the valve end face and bearing
surface 'М' is a clearance of about 0.1 mm. Sleeve (56) has in its side surface six
ports providing outlets for the fuel. The sleeve is fitted onto the flow-through
valve and secured to it by rolling over its upper rim. Retaining ring (55) prevents
disc valve disc (57) from falling out.
The design of the gas generator centrifugal flyweights assembly is similar to that
described in Para 2.12 (Ref. Fig. 13).
Engine control lever steel shaft (21) (Ref. Fig. 16) has an axial hole providing
accommodation to main rotor adjustment lever shaft (20). Provided on the external
surface of the shaft are two grooves for rubber sealing rings and two keyways in-
tended for attachment of gas generator speed governor cam (30) and main rotor speed
governor 6 % correction cam (39). Machined on one end of the shaft are teeth en-
gaging with the worm of engine control lever (24), whereas the other end is threaded
to accommodate nut (41) which serves to secure cams (30) and (39). The middle por-
tion of the ahaft has a collar that serves to prevent its longitudinal displacement.

Provided on cover (23) are four projections having threaded holes in their upper
portions to accommodate stop screws that serve to restrict the angle of travel of
engine control lever (24) and main rotor speed governor adjustment lever (25). To
register the angular positon of the levers, dials are placed under the cover (23)
attachment nuts, the engine control lever (24) dial graduated from 0 to 145 degrees
and the main rotor speed governor adjustment lever (25) dial graduated from 0 to
100 degrees. Welded to the above levers are pointers provided with notches to re-
gister the angular position of levers on the dials.
NOTE: On some engine models, the dials are graduated from 0 to 120 degrees (Ref.
Book 3, 073.12.05).
Flat cam (30) of the gas generator speed governor is made of steel and has a profile
of a variable radius. The cam surfaces are machined to a high degree of surface fi-
nish and nitrided. The radii of the cam profiles terminate in flats.
The cam has an axial hole which provides accommodation to shaft (21) and a keyway for
key (31) to secure the cam on the shaft. Cam (30) is profiled in such a manner, that
when engine control lever (24) is turned from 0 to 70 degrees (as read off the FCU
dial), the radius of the cam increases, thus ensuring variation of the speed gover-
nor setting within the range of operating power conditions from the idle power to the
maximum power by increasing the tightening of spring (7). Within a range of 70 to
120 degrees (as read off the FCU dial) the profile of the cam has a constant radius
which provides for a maximum setting of the speed governor.
NOTE: Some engine models have a provision for additional max. power setting deadband
at angles of 105 to 120 degrees (Ref. Book 3, 073.12.05).
Within a range of 135 to 145 degrees (as read off the FCU dial) the cam profile radius
is also constant differing approximately by 6 % (with respect to GG rotational speed)
from that within a range of 70 to 120 degrees, so as to provide for adjustment of the
gas generator maximum RFM on the ground (at checking conditions).
NOTE: The fuel control units with dials graduated from 0 to 120 degrees has no "check"
deadband.
Cam (39) is identical in design to cam (30). The maximum setting of the speed gover-
nor is adjusted by varying the tightening of spring (7) with the aid of adjustment
screw (46) via worm (52), worm bushing (33) and lever (29). Worm (52) is made of
steel. One end of the worm is provided with a square intended for adjustment
screw (46), whereas at the other end the worm is fitted in bushing (51) press-fitted
into the FCU body. Machined on the thick portion are worm teeth, with the aid of
which the worm engages with worm bushing (33). The worm has a collar by means of
which it bears upon threaded sleeve (49) that serves to prevent its longitudinal dis-
placement.
Bronze bushing (33) has worm teeth machined on its head to engage with worm (52).
The idling power is adjusted by varying the tightening of spring (7) with the aid of
adjustment screw (38) through lever (29). Screw (38) rotates within threaded sle-
eve (28) provided in its upper portion with nine spline grooves accommodating
balls (26), which enables the adjustment screw during its rotation to have eighteen
fixed positions.
Acted upon by the centrifugal forces, flyweights (9) of the centrifugal flyweights
assembly, which receive rotation from the gas generator rotor, tend to move apart and
transmit the force via needle (8) to lever (3) loaded by spring (7).
At the steady-state power condition, the centrifugal forces of flyweights (9) balance
out the load of spring (7) and move lever (3) with valve (4) to the equilibrium posi-
tion, ensuring the required rate of fuel spillage from throttle valve chamber Ю in
order to set the throttle valve into a position when the fuel flow rate, required to
sustain the gas generator rotor rotational speed pre-set by the speed governor, is
maintained.
As the gas generator rotor rotational speed changes towards an increase, the fly-
weights (9) centrifugal forces increase and, overcoming the load of spring (7), turn
lever (3) about its axis counterclockwise, thus opening valve (4) still more, which
brings about a pressure drop in chamber Ю above the throttle valve. As the result,
the servopiston together with the throttle valve control valve will move upwards
and decrease the fuel flow. The gas generator rotational speed will drop and the
system will regain the equilibrium state at a new position of the throttle valve,
thus restoring the gas generator rotor rotational speed pre-set by the speed
governor.
As the gas generator RPM change towards a decrease, the whole control process pro-
ceeds in a similar way but towards an increase in the fuel flow.
As engine control lever (24) is turned, the tension of spring (7) changes, with the
tension of the spring at the basic operational conditions (that is at aECL >70 deg)
corresponding to the maximum RPM. Since the gas generator RPM at the operational
power conditions starting from those when the twist grip is turned fully clockwise
(AUTO) and up to the maximum continuous power (incl.) are below the maximum RPM,
whereas the tension of spring (7) is in consistence with the maximum RPM, flow-
through valve (4) is loaded by spring (7) at the above power conditions to the closed
position and the fuel flow into the engine is controlled by the main rotor speed
governor.
When the gas generator maximum pre-set RPM have been reached, the centrifugal forces
of flyweights (9) will overcome the loading of spring (7), turn lever (3) and open
flow-through valve (4) (Ref. Pig. 16). The fuel spillage from chamber Ю of the throt-
tle valve will commence, that is, the gas generator speed governor will begin maintain-
ing the maximum power RPM, its operation being similar to that at the idle power.
As engine control lever (24) is turned, cam (30) turns lever (29) changing the ten-
sion of spring (7). Hence, when engine control lever (24) is turned to increase the
power setting, lever (29) turns clockwise and compresses spring (7). Spring (7) over-
comes the centrifugal forces of flyweights (9) and turns lever (3) clockwise, thus
closing valve (4) and, therefore, reducing the amount of the fuel spillage from the
throttle valve chamber Ю. A decrease in the spillage of the fuel from chamber Ю causes
an increase in the fuel pressure therein and brings about a displacement of the servo-
piston together with the control valve of the throttle valve downwards towards an in-
crease in the fuel flow. Ae the result, the gas generator RPM begin to increase.
When the gas generator RPM reach a level corresponding to new setting of the speed
governor, the centrifugal forces of flyweights (9) overcome the tension of spring (7),
turn lever (3) counterclockwise and slightly open valve (4). This will initiate the
spillage of the fuel from the throttle valve chamber Ю and the servopiston together
with the throttle valve control valve will stop their downward movement towards
increasing the fuel flow and find a position which will ensure a fuel flow required
to maintain the gas generator RPM in consistence with the new setting of the speed
governor.
Temperature Corrector
The purpose of the temperature corrector is to correct the setting of the gas genera-
tor speed governor with respect to the engine air inlet temperature in order to main-
tain a constant power at the maximum power within an OAT range of minus 60 °C to
a value specified in Book 3, 073.12.05, "Fuel Control Unit - Description and Opera-
tion", Para 2.1, as well as to provide correction to the setting of the compressor
VGV's with the air inlet temperature ranging from minus 60 to plus 60 °C.
The temperature corrector includes temperature-sensing probe (3) (Ref. Fig. 17).
a rod assembly and a leverage.

With nut (7) backed off, casing (2) may be turned about its axis until the bolt holes
provided in the square flange get aligned in order to attach the flange of the air
conduit supplying cooling air to the temperature-sensing probe.
The air admitted into the temperature-sensing probe casing is divided into two flows
by shroud (18), flows around the temperature-sensing probe and discharges via the
external passage.
During heating or cooling, rod (17) of the temperature-sensing probe is shifted and
transmits the force through the leverage and springs to lever (3) (Ref. Fig. 16),
thus varying the passage area of flow-through valve (4) of the gas generator speed
governor.
As the engine air inlet temperature increases, flow-through valve (4) is getting
closed and, therefore, the fuel flow and the gas generator rotor RPM are increasing.
When the engine air inlet temperature reaches a pro-determined level, lever (12)
comes into contact with adjustment screw (16) of the temperature corrector stop and
the correction with respect to the engine air inlet temperature ceases. During a
further increase in the engine air inlet temperature, the setting of the gas genera-
tor speed governor remains unchanged, but when the engine air inlet temperature
rises to plus 60 °C, the gas generator RPM slightly increase due to the static cha-
racteristic of the gas generator speed governor.
To compensate for the variation in the setting of the gas generator speed governor
caused by the variation in the fuel temperature, the leverage between the temperature-
sensing probe and lever (3) incorporates temperature compensator (15) which is basic-
ally a pack of bimetallic plates.
As the fuel temperature in the FCU chambers changes, temperature compensator (15)
changes the height of its pack and conveys a force to lever (3), thus changing the
passage area of flow-through valve (4) and, therefore, the fuel flow. Simultaneously
with the correction of the setting of the gas generator speed governor, the force is
transmitted from temperature-sensing probe rod (17) (Ref. Fig. 17) via fork (12) to
the compressor VGV control mechanism, thus ensuring correction to the angular sett-
ing of the VGV's with respect to the variation in the engine air inlet temperature.
The purpose of the main rotor speed governor is to maintain the free turbine rotor RPM
constant irrespective of a main rotor loading within a power range from the power con-
dition when the twist grip is turned fully clockwise (AUTO) to the max. continuous
power (excepting the maximum power) by controlling the operation of the throttle
valve, thus varying the,fuel flow into the engine and varying the gas generator operat-
ing conditions respectively. At the said operating conditions, the gas generator speed
governor has no control over the position of the throttle valve since flow-through
valve (4) (Ref. Pig. 16) remains closed.
The main rotor speed governor incorporates valve (13) (Ref. Fig. 18), a centrifugal
flyweights assembly, cams (17) and (48), springs (8) and (47), face seal bushing (28),
torsion shaft (26), main rotor speed resetting lever shaft (20) (Ref. Pig. 16), and
adjustment screws (2) (Ref.Fig.18) and (39).
The design of cams (17) and (48) ie similar to that of cam (30) (Ref.Fig.16), the
only difference being a uniform profile of cam (17) (Ref. Fig. 18).
The main rotor centrifugal flyweights assembly comprises fork (37) with two fly-
weights (38) mounted within the FCU body and supported by a eliding bearing - bush-
ing (36). The flyweights are fitted on axles between two jaws of the fork and have
a freedom to turn through a certain angle.
The torque is transmitted to the centrifugal flyweights assembly from the engine free
turbine via toraion shaft (26), which is engaged with one end with the internal
splines of fork (37) extension and inserted with the other end into a drive square
port provided in the external gearbox.
During rotation of the centrifugal flyweights assembly, the centrifugal forces of fly-
weights (38) are transmitted via needle (1), bearing upon a spherical recess made in
one of the flyweights, to valve (13).
The design of adjustment screw (2) is identical to that described in Para 2.15.
Adjustment screw (39) which serves to tighten spring (47) of 6 % correction cam (48)
is similar in design to idling adjustment screw (38) (Ref. Fig. 16), except for
a collar provided in its upper portion to prevent its turning by means of locking
nut (40) (Ref. Pig. 18).
Within a range of the operational conditions starting from the power condition when
the twist grip is turned fully clockwise (AUTO) and to the maximum continuous power
inclusive, the gas generator speed governor is adjusted to supply a fuel flow into
the engine in excess of the engine demands. The excess amount of fuel at the said
operating conditions is cut off by the main rotor speed governor. In this case, the
engine power condition is established by varying the main rotor pitch, whereas the

To raise the operating power condition, the main rotor pitch must be increased. In
this case, the main rotor RPM and, therefore, the free turbine RPM will start decreas-
ing. In accordance with its static characteristic, the main rotor speed governor steps
up the fuel flow into the engine in such a manner, that the main rotor RPM at the
newly selected power condition are established at a level close to the initial rota-
tional speed. Hence, at a larger main rotor pitch, the main rotor speed governor
provides a higher fuel flow into the engine thus ensuring a growth of the gas genera-
tor RIM, with the main rotor RPM slightly decreasing.
Similarly, with the main rotor pitch decreasing, the main rotor speed governor coun-
ters the increase in the main rotor RPM by decreasing the fuel flow into the engine
in accordance with its characteristic. At the new power condition of the engine, the
main rotor rotational speed is establlohed at a level close to the initial RPM.
Therefore, depending on a loading of the main rotor, the main rotor speed governor
controls the fuel flow into the engine, thus maintaining the main rotor rotational
speed within a рге-set range.
The main rotor speed governor varies the fuel flow by changing the fuel pressure in
the throttle valve chamber Ю by means of valve (13). The passage area in valve (13)
is controlled by lever (7) which is sensitive to the centrifugal forces of fly-
weights (38) and the forces of springs (8) and (47). At the steady-state operating
conditions, the flyweights centrifugal forces are balanced out by a combined force
of both springs.
When the loading of the main rotor changes, its rotational speed changes as well, and
this results in a change in the free turbine rotational speed. The centrifugal
forces of flyweights (38) consistent with the new value of the RPM change the force
applied to lever (7), and, as the result, the lever is turned and changes the pas-
sage area of valve (13), which causes the pressure in chamber D of throttle valve
(54) (Ref. 073.12.00, Pig. 6) to change as well. The throttle valve keeps on changing
the fuel flow until the рге-set rotational speed has been restored, that is until
valve (13) (Ref. Pig. 18) has regained its equilibrium at a new position of the
throttle valve. A preset level of the main rotor rotational speed is determined by
tensioning springs (8) and (47) with the aid of cams (17) and (48) as well as adjust-
ment screws (2) and (39), respectively. To improve and increase stability of the
transient power conditions when the main rotor pitch is being decreased or during
a slam acceleration, the main rotor speed governor has a static characteristic (that
is a eloping characteristic curve) equal to 6 percent, that is, when the main rotor
pitch is decreased from its maximum to its minimum with the engine control lever set
against the maximum power stop, the main rotor RPM are increased by 6 percent.
In order to maintain the main rotor RPM at the operational power conditions within the
pre-set limits, ensuring the required performance with due regard for the 6 % static
characteristic, the main rotor speed governor incorporates a means providing for a 6 %
correction of its setting.
The correction of the main rotor speed governor setting is effected by means of
cam (48).Correction cam (48) is structurally coupled with the engine control
lever (24) (Ref. Fig. 16) and when the engine control lever is moved from the 30-deg
angle to the 114-deg angle, cam (48) tensions spring (47) (Ref. Fig. 18) to a value
equivalent to a 6 * increase in the main rotor RPM. Therefore, the 6 % static cha-
racteristic of the main rotor speed governor is compensated for by the 6 % correction,
which enables maintaining the pre-set main rotor RPM at the power conditions control-
led by the main rotor speed governor.
To enable the engine to gain the maximum power, it is necessary to reduce the main
rotor RPM to a level prescribed in the Specifications by increasing the collective
pitch. To maintain the pro-set RPM, that is, to increase the fuel flow, the main
rotor speed governor will close valve (13) by its springe. As the result, the fuel
pressure in chamber 0 will increase and the throttle valve will be repositioned, thus
increasing the fuel flow, which will lead to an increase in the gas generator RPM.
Following the coarsening of the collective pitch, when the main rotor RPM have drop-
ped, the main rotor speed governor will close its valve and terminate the fuel
metering.
When the gas generator rotor rotational speed attains a level equal to the maximum
setting of the gas generator speed governor, flyweights (38) (Ref. Fig. 16) will
overcome the force of spring (7) and open valve (4). As the result, the control over
the throttle valve chamber Ю will be taken over by the gas generator speed governor.
Power Synchronizer
The purpose of the power synchronizer is to equalize the power of the engines during
their concurred operation by equalising the compressor delivery air pressures PO.
The power synchronizer includes two basic portions: a fuel portion and an air one. The
fuel portion incorporates barrel (10) (Ref. Pig. 19) and spool (11).
Spool (11) has an external groove providing a passage for the fuel and a row of cir-
cular grooves, forming a labyrinth type seal along the clearance between the spool and
the barrel. Provided in the end face of the spool are two blind holes with spheres.
Thrusting onto their bottoms are bearing needles (9) and (12). The force of spring (7)

compressed by plug (6) is transmitted via needle (9) to the spool. Needle (12) couples
spool (11) to lever (13). Lever (13) aervee to convey the displacements of synchro-
nizer air portion diaphragm (5) to spool (11). To couple the diaphragm to the spool,
the ends of the lever are provided with spherical recesses accommodating bearing
needles (12) and (15). Fitted in the middle portion is an axle.
Diaphragm (5) is made of a rubberized linen. Bearing upon the upper disc of the dia-
phragm is spring (4). The tension of the spring is established by adjustment screw (2)
screwed into threaded sleeve (3). The deflection of the diaphragm is limited at one
side by the bottom of the bore in FCU body (8) and at the other side by the face of
the plug.
The diaphragm is secured to the FCU body by means of cover (18). The external surface
of the cover carries a boss with a compressor delivery pressure connection screwed
into a threaded hole of the boss. Made in the centre of the cover is a hole providing
accommodation to threaded sleeve (3) with adjustment screw (2).
The fuel is delivered from chamber Ю via passage 'a' (Ref. Fig. 19) to a groove in
spool (11) and tapped along passage'б'to the main rotor speed governor. Supplied
to connection (1) is the compressor delivery pressure PC of its 'own' engine, whereas
supplied to connection (17) is the compressor delivery pressure of the neighbouring
engine. When both compressor delivery pressures are equal, the forces acting upon
diaphragm (5) are balanced out and spool (11) is located in such a position that it
throttles the spilled fuel by the main rotor speed governor from throttle valve
chamber Ю.
When the Pc of the neighbouring engine fed to connection (17) increases, the balance
of the forces acting upon diaphragm (5) becomes disturbed. Diaphragm (5) deflects
to the right and releases lever (14). Acted upon by the loading of spring (7),
spool (11) moves to the left, masking with its edge passage 'б' tapping fuel to
the main rotor speed governor, which causes an increase in the fuel pressure in
chamber Ю, and, as the result, the throttle valve is repositioned to increase the
fuel flow. The increased fuel flow leads to an increased gas generator RPM and,
therefore, to a higher compressor delivery pressure.
Рог the operation of the power synchronizer during concurred operation of the en-
gines, refer to 073.12.00.
With the engine running at the operating power conditions, when the compressor deli-
very pressure of the neighbouring engine exceeds that of its 'own' engine by approx.
0.12 kgf/cm2 , spool (11) moves all the way to the left and maeke passage 'б' tapping
fuel from chamber Ю to the main rotor speed governor, thus completely shutting off the
fuel spillage from chamber Ю of the throttle valve, effected by the main rotor speed
governor.
In the course of engine starting, even a minute fuel spillage from throttle valve
chamber Ю via closed valve {13) (Ref. Fig. 18), with the main rotor speed governor
inoperative, will bring about repositioning of the throttle valve and, therefore,
will change the fuel flow.
To make the fuel flow unaffected by the power synchronizer at starting, when the
neighbouring engine is running, a provision is made for by-pass jet (32) (Ref.
073.12.00, Pig. 6) installed in parallel with spool (11) (Ref. Fig. 19), thus ensur-
ing a required degree of the fuel spillage from throttle valve chamber Ю via closed
valve (13) (Ref. Pig. 18), when it is disconnected by the power synchronizer from
the main rotor speed governor. When the engine is running at various operating
power conditions controlled by the main rotor speed governor, the jet slightly de-
creases the efficiency of the functioning of the power synchronizer, but it has no
noticeable effect on a mismatch in the power conditions of both engines during their
concurred operation.
The purpose of the power synchronizer emergency cutout control valve is to disengage
the power synchronizer in case the main rotor RPM reach a level of (107+2) percent.
The power synchronizer emergency cutout control valve incorporates spacer (1) (Ref.
Fig. 20), barrel (2), spool (3), spring (5), and adjustment screw (8).
Barrel (2) is provided with six pairs of radial ports. Spool (3) has two external
grooves providing passages for fuel. The spool has an axle hole which communicates
the space below the spool end face with the spring chamber, that is with the spill
line.
Spacer (1) has spherical surfaces at both sides, by means of which it bears upon the
bottom of the bore in the FCU body at one side, and upon the spool end face at the
other. The spacer has a row of grooves forming a labyrinth type seal along the clear-
ance.
At one side, the spool is provided with a head onto which disk (4) of spring (5) is
fitted. Serving as the second support of the spring is support (6), which bears with
its spherical surface upon that of adjustment screw (8). The travel of the spool is
limited by a skirt of plug (7). The tension of the spring is varied with the aid of
adjustment screw (8) screwed into plug (7).
When the main rotor RPM reach a pro-set level, the fuel control pressure Pcont ft
delivered to the underside of the face of spacer (1) will shift spool upwards. In

this case, the high-pressure fuel supplied from the passage located upstream of the
throttle valve to passage 'к' is admitted into the space below the lower end face of
spool (3). This pressure overcomes the force of spring (5) and lifts spool (3) into
the top position.
When spool (3) is in the extreme top position, throttle valve chamber Ю becomes con-
nected through passages 'л' and'м'with the main rotor speed governor, by-passing
the power synchronizer and Jet (32) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6).
Spool (3) is held by the throttle valve upstream fuel pressure in the extreme top po-
sition until the engine gets shut down, following the engine shutdown, spring (5)
forces spool (3) into the extreme bottom position.
The purpose of the FCU el. actuator is to effect control over the throttle valve on
receiving signals from the electronic governors.
The FCU el. actuator consists of el. actuator (1) (Ref. Fig. 21), valve body (9) and
adjustment screw (6).
El. actuator (1) is a mechanism which serves to convert an electrical signal received
from the electronic governors into an angular displacement of armature-shutter (3).
Made along the axis of valve body (9) is a passage with an orifice of 1-mm die. The
lower portion of the valve body has a head with a fillet by means of which the valve
bears upon the shoulder provided in FCU body (2) at one side and upon the sleeve ac-
commodating valve (4) with a spring at the other side. Spring (8) bears upon arma-
ture-shutter (3) at one side, the collar in the bore of plug (7) providing the second
support to the spring. The spring tension is adjusted with the aid of shims (5). The
travel of armature-shutter (3) is restricted at the bottom by the face of valve (4)
and at the top, by adjustment screw (6).
Chamber 'a' of the PCU el. actuator communicates with throttle valve chamber Ю (Ref.
Fig. 6, 073.12.00). Chamber 'б' is connected with the spill line. When FCU el. actua-
tor (1) is de-energized, the force of spring (8) acts upon armature-shutter (3) and
moves valve (4) into the bottom position, which results in throttle valve chamber Ю
being isolated from the spill chamber 'б '. When an electrical signal is delivered
from the electronic governor, armature-shutter (3) starts vibrating, thus alterna-
tively opening and closing valve (4) with a certain duty cycle, and connects chamber
'a' with the spill line, thus causing the fuel pressure in throttle valve chamber Ю
to drop and the throttle valve to move towards decreasing the fuel flow.
The FCU el. actuator interlock control valve is intended to disengage the FCU el. ac-
tuator whenever the gas generator rotor rotational speed drops below 84 percent.

The FCU el. actuator interlock control valve consists of barrel (1) (Ref. Fig. 22),
spool (2), spring (4)1 and adjustment screw (7).
Barrel (1) has six pairs of radial ports and is press-fitted into a bore made in the
FCU body. Spool (2) has a wide external groove providing a passage for fuel and a row
of pressure-relief grooves forming a labyrinth type seal along the clearance.
Spool (2) has at one side a spherical surface which bears upon the bottom of the bore
in the PCU body, and a head at the other side. Disc (3) of spring (4) is fitted onto
the spool head. Serving as the second support of the spring is support (5) which is
fitted with its spherical surface onto that of adjustment screw (7). The upward travel
of spool (2) is restricted by the skirt of plug (6). The tension of spring (4) is
adjusted by adjustment screw (7) screwed into plug (6).
The fuel control pressure Pconst gg, proportional to the square of the gas generator
RPM, is supplied from chamber 'a' to the underside of the face of spool (2). Acted
upon the top of spool (2) are combined forces of compressed spring (4) and the spil-
lage pressure. Chamber 'Г' is connected via the low fuel pressure valve with throttle
valve chamber Ю.
When the gas generator RPM come to exceed the pre-set level, the fuel control pressure
Pcont gg delivered to chamber 'a' overcomes the force of spring (4) and moves spool
(2) upwards, thus interconnecting chambers T' and 'б'. Chamber'б'communicates with
FCU el. actuator valve (4) (Ref. Fig. 21) via a passage.
When the gas generator RPM drop to a level below 84 percent, the fuel control pressure
P
cont gg is reduced and spooled (2) (Ref. Fig. 22) acted upon by the force of spring (4)
moves downwards and closes chamber'Г'with its collar 'B', thus cancelling the effect
of the FCU el. actuator on chamber Ю.
The purpose of the low fuel pressure valve is to prevent the fuel flow into the engine
from dropping below a minimum value required to ensure normal operation of the engine,
without a flame-out in the combustion chamber.
The low fuel pressure valve includes barrel (1) (Ref. Fig. 23), spool (2), spring (6),
stop (5) and plug (4).
Barrel (1) has ports 'a' and 'б' through which fuel is delivered to spool (2).
Spool (2) has on its spring-facing surface a wide groove providing a passage to fuel
and a row of pressure-relief grooves, forming a labyrinth type seal along the clear-
ance. Stop (5) serves to restrict the travel of spool (2). The tension of spring (6)
is adjusted by fitting shims onto stop (5).
The low fuel pressure valve is fitted in the line between throttle valve chamber Ю
and the speed governors and the FCU el. actuator. Delivered to the underside of

spool (2) is the fuel pressure tapped from downstream of the acceleration time control
unit throttle valve, whereas the force of spring (6) and the spillage pressure are
acting upon the top of the spool.
When the fuel pressure tapped from downstream of the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve exceeds the force of spring (6) and the spillage pressure, spool (2)
locates in the top position and connects throttle valve chamber Ю with the speed
governors and the FCU el. actuator via ports 'a' and'б'of barrel (1).
When the fuel pressure downstream of the throttle valve of the acceleration time
control unit below the pre-set loading of spring (6), spool (2) moves downwards and
masks port 'б' of barrel (1), thus isolating throttle valve chamber Ю from the speed
governors and PCU el. actuator.
The purpose of the air filter with a pressure reducer is to clean the air tapped aft
of the engine compressor and to feed a reduced pressure to the air chambers of the
auto start control unit and acceleration time control unit.
The air filter with the pressure reducer includes titanium casing (3) (Ref. Pig. 24).
Screwed into the bore of the titanium casing is connection (4) with frame (2) and
filtering gauze (1) soldered to it.
The air filter is secured to the bellows flange via copper sealing rings by means of
connection (7).
Steel pressure reducer (8) (i.e. a bellows flange) is made by stamping and provided
with two threaded holes and a cylindrical bore. One threaded hole serves to accommo-
date connection (?) and the ether hole, to accommodate adapter (6) with adjustable
jet (5) of the acceleration time control unit.
The purpose of the cylindrical bore is to communicate the pressure reducer chamber
with the bellows casing chamber. The pressure within the chamber may be adjusted by
varying the diameter of the orifice of adjustable jet (5). The jet is screwed into
the threaded hole in adapter (6), which is a constant flow jet. The presence of two
jets located one after the other provides for a more precise adjustment of the ac-
celeration time control unit.
A pipe conveys the air from the air filter connection to the auto start control unit
diaphragm chamber.
The air filter casing features a threaded hole that has an adapter and an auto start
control unit jet screwed into it.
The purpose of the auto start control unit with the altitude sensing unit is to sche-
dule the fuel flow into the primary fuel manifold at the initial stage of a starting

cycle (until the Ngg reaches 45 percent) and to make the necessary correction in the
fuel flow with the aid of the altitude sensing unit in accordance with changes in the
atmospheric pressure (Pamb). The control over the fuel flow is effected by varying the
passage area of the throttle valve with the aid of the auto start control unit.
The auto start control unit with the altitude sensing unit consists of two basic por-
tions: a fuel portion housed within the FCU body and an air portion. The fuel portion
includes an auto start control unit fuel valve and a transmitter measuring the fuel
pressure aft of the acceleration time control unit throttle valve.
The fuel valve includes valve seat (12) (Ref. Fig. 25), disc valve (13), and a spring.
The travel of the fuel valve is limited by a retaining ring fitted in a bushing secured
within the valve seat. Valve seat (12) has an axial stepped hole conveying fuel to disc
valve (13).
Drilled in cover (11) is a row of passages that serve to deliver fuel to the fuel valve
and fuel pressure transmitter. The transmitter sensing the fuel pressure aft of the ac-
celeration time control unit throttle valve includes diaphragm (9), eliding block (10),
rod (16), and bushing (14). The fuel is tapped from downstream of the acceleration time
control unit throttle valve and supplied to the underside of diaphragm (9) fitted in
the bore of cover (11) and tightened by bushing (14) via the ring of sliding block (Ю)
Rod (16) slides within bushing (14) and bears with one end on sliding block (10), and
with the other end, on the face of adjustment screw (15) of lever (17).
Lever (17) connects the fuel portion of the auto start control unit with the aid por-
tion. One arm of the lever has a hole and a boss with a threaded hole. Press-fitted
into the hole is a stop which contacts the fuel valve, whereas screwed into the
threaded hole of the boss is adjustment screw (15). Provided in the other arm of the
lever is a spherical recess to suit bearing needle (19) of auto start control unit
diaphragm (20).
A rubber ring is used to seal the lever (l7)-to-bushing (18) joint. Provided at the
right side of casing (22) is a circular boss with a circular bore to accommodate
aneroids (1) and a stepped bore to house a bushing of rod (24). The boss is provided
at its top with circular port 'a' which is closed with a gauze and serves to provide
a passage to the air delivered at the Pamb pressure to the underside of auto start
control unit diaphragm (20).
The altitude sensing unit incorporates the following major components: aneroids (1),
rod (24), lever (23) with adjustment screw (26), and lever (21). As the altitude
increases, the force acting upon diaphragm (20) is corrected by aneroids (1) via
rod (24) and levers (23) and (21). The aneroids consist of two hollow capsules with
two ball ends. The aneroids are tightened from the right side by adjustment screw (2),
and from the left side, by rod (24).
Diaphragm (20) of the auto start control unit is made of a rubberrized linen and
clamped between two discs. Spring (7) is resting upon the diaphragm upper disc. The

tension of the spring is pre-set by adjustment screw (6) screwed into plug (5). The
deflection of the diaphragm is limited at one side by the bottom of the bore in the
FCU body and at the other side, by the face of plug (5).
The connection supplying air at the PC pressure is screwed into the hole made in the
boss provided on the external surface of cover (4). The cover has a central hole ac-
commodating plug (5) with auto start control unit adjustment screw (6).
The fuel flow at starting is scheduled by the auto start control unit in accordance
with the compressor delivery pressure (Pc ).
When the engine is inoperative, disc valve (13) is loaded by spring (7) via lever (17)
into the closed position. As the gas generator RPM increase, the main fuel nozzle pres-
sure starts rising. This fuel is pressure-fed along passage 'б' to sliding block (10)
of the fuel pressure transmitter. Acted upon by the fuel pressure, the sliding block
will turn lever (17) clockwise and open disc valve (13) which will connect throttle
valve chamber Ю with the drain line and reposition the throttle valve so as to
decrease the fuel flow.
As the gas generator RPM increase, the compressor delivery pressure P increases. The
air pressure acting upon diaphragm (20) overcomes the fuel pressure acting upon pres-
sure transmitter sliding block (10) and partially closes disc valve (13), thus reduc-
ing the amount of fuel being spilled from the throttle valve chamber Ю. As the spil-
lage decreases, the fuel pressure in throttle valve chamber В builds up and the servo-
piston repositions the throttle valve control valve so as to increase the fuel flow.
In case of an excessive increase in the fuel flow, the increased main fuel nozzle pres-
sure turns the lever clockwise with the aid of sliding block and partially opens disc
valve (13). The rate of the spillage from throttle valve chamber Ю increases and the
growth of the fuel flow will slow down until the subsequent increase in the compres-
sor delivery pressure (Pc) occurs. Thus, the control over the fuel flow is effected
in relation to the compressor delivery pressure.
At the initial stage of starting, when the compressor delivery pressure is low, the
rate of the fuel flow is established by the tension of spring (7) and may be adjusied
by adjustment screw (5). As the compressor delivery pressure rises, the rete of the
fuel flow is controlled by varying the air pressure in the diaphragm chamber through
changing the diameter of the air bleeder jet (A) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6). Upon
engine acceleration to the steady-stste idling RPM, the coapressor delivery pressure
reaches such a value that its pressure upon the diaphragm overcomes the effect cf
the main fuel nozzle pressure, thus closing disc valve (13) (Ref. Pig. 25).
At the power conditions above the idle power setting, the auto start control unit has
no effect on the fuel flow. To avoid overtemperature of the gases at the turbine
inlet in the course оГ an engine starting, the fuel flow into the engine must be cut
down in accordance with a decrease in the ambient pressure. This function is perform-
ed by the altitude sensing unit. As the altitude increases, aneroids (1) are expand-
ing. While moving, rod (24) is acting upon lever (21) via lever (23) and opening disc
valve (13), thus causing fuel to spill from throttle valve chamber Ю, thereby reducing
the fuel flow when starting the engine at altitude.
The purpose of the acceleration time control unit ie to schedule the fuel flow into
the engine at transient conditions of starting and engine acceleration, ensuring
a fast acceleration of the engine without excessive overtemperature and surging, as
well as to limit the maximum fuel flowGfmax.On some engine models the maximum fuel
flow limiter is not fitted (Ref. Book 3, 073.12.05).
The acceleration time control unit schedules the fuel flow into the engine by varying
the orifice area of the acceleration time control unit throttle valve in relation to
the value of the corrected compressor delivery pressure and variation in the fuel
pressure differential across the acceleration time control unit throttle valve in
accordance with the gas generator RIM. The throttle valve of the acceleration time
control unit comprises the following basic elements: spool (13) (Ref. Fig. 26),
barrel (11), servopiston (7), fuel valve (17), vacuum bellows (2), and air bellows (5).
The metering orifice of the throttle valve is established by a clearance between the
middle collar of barrel (11) and the profiled portion of spool (13). The profiled
portion of spool (13) ensures a proportional change in the area of the metering
orifice in relation to the corrected compressor delivery pressure F .
Servopiston (7) of the acceleration time control unit throttle valve is a reinforced,
double-sided piston attached to spool (13) by means of a nut.
Bearing upon the servopiston left-hand side is spring (10), with threaded sleeve (9)
being the second support of the spring. The tension of spring (10) is adjusted by
shimming. Spool (13) is loaded by spring (19) at the right-hand side, the spring
tension being controlled by adjustment screw (21) through spring (20) and lever (18).
Secured to the underside of cover (16) is bellows casing (1). Welded to the flange are
two steel bellows: vacuum bellows (2) and air bellows (5). Two ball bearings are
press-fitted into a flange. Axle (3) of lever (18) is fitted inside the inner races
of the ball bearings. The compressor corrected delivery pressure is fed to bellows (5).
Fuel valve (17) is located in the left-hand portion of cover (16) to the left of
lever (18). The axle of swinging of lever (18) is rigidly connected with the body of
cover (16). A sealing ring separates the spill chamber of the throttle valve from the
bellows chamber.
On an inoperative engine, spool (13) of the throttle valve is loaded by spring (10)
into the extreme right-hand position corresponding to the maximum fuel flow. In this
case, fuel valve (17) is kept open by spring (19) and connects chamber Ж with the
spill line. In the coarse of the engine acceleration the fuel pressure aft of the
constant fuel pressure valve, acting on the right-hand side of servopieton (7),
overcomes the force of spring (10) and spool (13) moves to the left until it comes
to abut low fuel flow adjustment screw (8).
As the corrected compressor delivery air pressure delivered to the chamber of air bel-
lows (5) rises, air bellows (5) expand and turn lever (18) counterclockwise. Lever
(18), while moving, partially closes the fuel spillage from chamber Ж through fuel
valve (17). The pressure in the spring chamber rises. The combined force of
spring (10) loading and the increased fuel pressure overcomes the fuel pressure
acting on the right-hand side of servopiston (7) and moves spool (13) to the right to
increase the fuel flow. While moving to the right, spool (13) turns lever (18) clock-
wise by increasing the compression of spring (19) and partially opens fuel spillage
through fuel valve (17). The movement of spool (13) towards increasing the metering
orifice area is slowing down.
When the engine attains a power condition corresponding to an engine control lever
setting, the respective speed governor comes into operation and, due to the fact that
the fuel flow established by the throttle valve is decreased, the engine power condi-
tion is no longer being increased. The acceleration time control unit throttle valve
therewith is set into a position determined by the actual value of the compressor
delivery pressure. In this case the fuel flow rate of the acceleration time control
unit throttle valve exceeds the engine demands at the steady-state power condition
established by the main throttle valve. Therefore, the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve does not affect the fuel flow at the steady-state power conditions. As
the compressor corrected delivery pressure decreases, air bellows (5) get compressed
and, overcoming the loading of spring (20), turn lever (18) clockwise, thus increasing
the fuel spillage from chamber Ж to the left of servopiston (7) through partially
opened fuel valve (17).
A decrease in the fuel pressure in chamber Ж causes spool (13) to move to the left to
decrease the metering orifice area and, therefore, the fuel flow.
The rate of travel of spool (13) is a function of the flow capacity of damper (12)
and the speed of variation of the compressor corrected delivery pressure. The flow
capacity of damper (12) is not adjustable in service. The corrected compressor de-
livery pressure may be adjusted by changing the diameter of the bleeder jet (П)
(Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6).
The fuel pressure differential across the acceleration time control unit throttle
valve is maintained in accordance with the gas generator RPM.
The mechanism maintaining the fuel pressure differential across the acceleration time
control unit throttle valve includes adjustable flow restrictor (Д) (Ref. 073.12.00,
Fig. 6), zero-pressure differential diaphragm (45), differential valve (51), and
constant spill jet (75).
The adjustable flow restrictor consists of casing (5) (Ref. Fig. 27) enclosed in
filtering gauze (4), adjustment screw (1) and bushing (2). Casing (5) has four
radial ports 'a' providing passage for fuel. Bushing (2) is pressed with it a collar
to casing (5) by means of nut (3). The sealing ring fitted inside the bushing pro-
vides for tightness of the mating surfaces.
Acceleration Time Control Unit Throttle Valve with Maximum Fuel Flow
Reset ing Mechanism
Figure 26
Provided in the lower portion of bushing (2) is a profiled recess. The adjustment
screw (1) and flow restrictor casing (5) are connected together by means of a thread-
ed joint. The adjustable flow restrictor is fitted in the PCU body and fixed in posi-
tion by plug (6).
The high-pressure fuel tapped from upstream of the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve passes through filtering gauze (4) and enters casing (5) via four
ports 'a'. The fuel flows from casing (5) through the orifice formed by a profiled
recess made in bushing (2) and adjustment screw (1) and enters the passage supplying
the fuel pressure to the zero-pressure differential diaphragm. The area of the ori-
fice formed by the profiled recess in bushing (2) and adjustment screw (1) determines
the value of the fuel pressure differential across the adjustable flow restrictor.
When adjustment screw (1) is turned clockwise, the area of the orifice decreases and
the fuel pressure differential across the flow restrictor increases and vice versa.
Diaphragm (3) ia basically a flat disc made of a rubberized linen clamped between
two metallic discs. The deflection of the diaphragm is limited from one side by
a bore in cover (2) and from the other side, by valve (4). The diaphragm is secured
to PCU body (5) with the aid of cover (2).
Valve (4) is a steel circular component, the left-hand portion of which provided
with a thread intended for screwing the valve into PCU body (5). The right-hand face
of the valve has narrow collars that serve to prevent the valve from sticking to the
hard-facing alloy plate of the diaphragm left-hand disc. Valve (4) has an axial
orifice.
The purpose of the differential valve is to compare the fuel pressure proportional
to the fuel pressure differential across the acceleration time control unit throttle
valve with that proportional to the gas generator RPM.
Spool (2) has two wide external grooves providing passages for fuel and a row of
pressure-relief grooves in its middle portion which form a labyrinth-type seal
along the clearance.
The right-hand face of spool (2) is shaped as a head with a collar. Diaphragm (6)
bears upon the right-hand side of the collar via stop (10), whereas the other side
of the collar experiences the pressure of spring (3). Barrel (1) provides the
second support for spring (3). The relative position of spool (2) and barrel (1)
is adjusted with the aid of shims (4). Diaphragm (6) ±a made of a rubberized linen
and clamped between two discs.

The discs and diaphragm (6) are clamped together with the aid of a screw. Spool (2)
rests upon the left disc through stop (10) having a spherical surface. Spring (7)
rests upon the right disc of diaphragm (6), adjustment screw (9) providing the
second support for spring (7) and serving to adjust the tension of spring (7).
The deflection of the diaphragm is restricted at the left-hand side by the bottom of
the bore in FCU body (5), and at the right-hand side, by the bottom of the bore in
cover (8). The right-hand chamber of the differential valve diaphragm Is connected
with the spill line by means of constant spill Jet (75) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6).
The fuel pressure is tapped from downstream of the adjustable flow restrictor Д
and supplied to the left side of zero-pressure differential diaphragm (45), whereas
the fuel pressure tapped from downstream of the acceleration time control unit
throttle valve is supplied to the right side of the diaphragm. The valve of sero-
pressure differential diaphragm (45) occupies a balanced position at wich the re-
quired fuel spillage from upstream of throttle valve (39) is ensured through the
adjustable flow restrictor(Д),the right-hand chamber of differential valve (51),
and constant spill jet (75) in order to maintain in the left-hand chamber of the
zero-pressure differential diaphragm a fuel pressure equal to that downstream of
throttle valve (39).
Since the fuel pressure upstream of the adjustable flow restrictor (Д) is equal to
that upstream of throttle valve (39) and the fuel pressure downstream of the adjust-
able flow restrictor is equal to that downstream of throttle valve (39), the fuel
pressure differential across the adjustable flow restrictor (Д) is equal to that
across throttle valve (39).
Since the spillage pressure in the FCU is constant and the fuel flow through the
adjustable flow restrictor(Д)and constant spill jet (75) are equal, the fuel
pressure differential across constant spill jet (75) and the fuel pressure in the
right-hand chamber of differential valve (51) are proportional to the fuel pres-
sure differential across the adjustable flow restrictor (Д) and, therefore, to the
fuel pressure differential across throttle valve (39).
Therefore, the right-hand side of differential valve diaphragm (6) (Ref. Fig. 29) is
subjected to the fuel pressure proportional to the fuel pressure differential across
throttle valve (39) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6) plus the force of spring (7) (Ref.
Pig. 29), whereas the left-hand side of the diaphragm is subjected to the fuel con-
trol pressure Poont gg. As the result, the pressure differential maintained across
throttle valve (39) is proportional to the fuel control pressure Pcont gg (that is
to the square of the gas generator RPM).
When shifting the engine throttle lever towards a higher power setting, the setting
of the governor controlling the operating power condition changes and it shuts off
the fuel spillage from chamber D of throttle valve (54) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6).
The fuel pressure in chamber Ю increases and the control valve of the throttle valve
starts moving towards increasing the passage area. As the fuel flow through the
throttle valve grows, the fuel pressure differential across acceleration time con-
trol unit throttle valve (39) rises and the fuel pressure in the right-hand chamber
As the gas generator RPM increase, the fuel control pressure Pcont gg rises, which
leads to an increase in the pressure acting on the left side of the diaphragm of
differential valve (51). This pressure will move the spool of differential valve (51)
to the right and the spool collar will partially mask the grooves in the barrel, thus
decreasing the fuel spillage from chamber Ю. The increased pressure in chamber Ю
repositions main throttle valve (54) so as to increase the fuel flow. The increase
in the fuel flow through main throttle valve (54) will cause the fuel pressure up-
stream of acceleration time control unit throttle valve (39) to rise, thus increasing
the fuel pressure differential across the throttle valve. The fuel pressure in the
right-hand chamber of the differential valve (51) diaphragm will rise and the dia-
phragm, while deflecting to the left, will shift the spool of differential valve (51)
to the left and the spool will connect chamber Ю with the spill line through its
groove. The movement of the main throttle valve (54) towards increasing the fuel
flow will be arrested.
When the engine attains a gas generator RFM equal to a level pre-set by the engine
throttle lever, the fuel flow will stop increasing and one of the steady-state speed
governors will take control over main throttle valve (54).
To make the maximum fuel flow unaffected by the setting of the acceleration time
control unit, the fuel control units on some engine models are provided with the
system effecting the resetting of the characteristic of the acceleration time con-
trol unit. The system comprises solenoid valve MKT-163 [83], additional jet [82],
and adjusting screw-stop(15). When the gas generator comes to run at the rota-
tional speed which is 5 percent below the maximum RPM, the engine electronic gover-
nor sends a signal to solenoid MKT-163 [83] , which opens and drains fuel via ad-
ditional jet [82], thus reducing the pressure under the diaphragm of the differen-
tial valve from the right side. The diaphragm together with the spool of the dif-
ferential valve moves to the right, masking the drain port in chamber Ю. The main •
throttle valve increases the pressure differential across the acceleration time
control unit throttle valve, thus increasing the flow rate through the throttle
valve of the acceleration time control unit.
When the gas generator RPM are reduced to a level of 7 percent below the maximum
RPM, the solenoid valve gets cut out by the command signal from the engine electro-
nic governor, as a result of which the fuel spillage from the underside of the
differential valve diaphragm is terminated, which brings about a reduction in the
pressure differential across the throttle valve of the acceleration time control
unit.
On some engine models, the electronic governor sends a signal to the MKT-163 solenoid
valve at different gas generator rotational speeds (Ref. Book 3, 073.15-04).
The decrease in the characteristic of the acceleration tine control unit at disengage-
ment of the solenoid valve ie used as a limiter of the fuel flow in case of a failure
of the engine electronic governor.
In case of a failure of the system, the solenoid valve is also de-energized and the
system is reset to reduce the flow rate of the acceleration tine control unit, ensur-
ing the fuel flow necessary to maintain the limited power.
On some engine models, the resetting units of the acceleration time control units
characteristic are not provided (Ref. Book 3, 073.12.05).
On these engine models, no signal is sent to the МКТ-163 valve Ъу the electronic
governor.
Compressor Variable Guide Vanes (VGV) Control Mechanism
The compressor VGV control mechanism is designed to effect angular setting of the
compressor VIGV's and stages 1 through 4 VGV'в in relation to the corrected value of
the gas generator RBI.
The compressor VGV control mechanism comprises a hydraulic power cylinder located in
the FCU, a hydraulic power cylinder with a limit switch, a control valve assembly,
a lever-balance assembly, a control pressure Pcont gg piston assembly, a temperature
compensation leverage, a feedback system, power control levers, a spring, and a
feedback dial.
The hydraulic power cylinder incorporates bushing (23) (Ref. Fig. 30), piston (22),
adjustable stops (27) and (34), lever (25), sliding block (26), and power shaft (24).
Bushing (23) and piston (22) are made of steel. The internal surface of the bushing
is machined to a high degree of surface finish and chrome-plated to improve its wear
resistance. The middle portion of the bushing has a slot to provide passage for
lever (25) which is secured to the middle portion of piston (22) with the aid of
eliding block (26). Piston (22) has at its both sides cylindrical chambers providing
accommodation to plug (21) and cover (28) with adjustable stops (34) and (27) re-
stricting the travel of piston (22).
Each end of piston (22) has an external cylindrical grooves with collars intended to
secure cup (30) by means of retaining rings (33).
The gaps between cup (30) and retaining ring (33) is taken up by means of shim (32).
To ensure tightness of the joint, rubber sealing ring (31) is placed under cup (30)
which is made of fluoroplastic.
The control valve assembly consists of barrel (18), spool (2) and spring (12). The
middle portion of barrel (18) has four radial ports 'a' that serve to admit the
high-pressure fuel through the groove into the FCU body.
Made on the left and right sides of holes 'a' are grooves 'б' and 'в', through which
the high-pressure fuel is fed to the left and right-hand chambers of piston (22)

(Ref. Pig. 30, Sheet 2). The other end of barrel (18) has a collar which serves to
prevent transverse displacement of spring (12) (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 1).
Spool (2) has in its middle portion a wide groove providing a passage to fuel. Two
middle cylindrical collars are working (cut-off) ones, that by-pass the high-pressure
fuel through the wide middle groove alternatively to the left or to the right-hand
chambers of piston (22). To ensure a more accurate control over the hydraulic power
cylinders, the middle cut-off working collars of the spool are made with negative
overlapping of barrel (18) grooves 'б' and 'в', that is the working collars of the
flow-through type. Two extreme fillets are provided with flats and have a trihedral
shape. They serve to provide a better alignment of the spool, whereas the ports
formed by the flats direct the fuel from the piston chambers into the spill line.
The spool (2) right-hand end has a collar that provides the second support for
spring (12). Fuel control pressure piston assembly (20) includes a steel bushing
mounted in the FCU body and a piston. The piston has a row of grooves which serve to
seal the piston and increase its response. Pitted to the piston end face is a needle
that serves to transmit the force developed by the piston to lever-balance (11) as-
sembly. The lever-balance assembly consists of lever-balance (11), adjustment
screws (4) and (5), and bracket (3). The lever-balance assembly is basically a steel
component, the lower end thereof having a slot, wherein variable arm lever (10)
moves on two rollers. The middle section houses a ball bearing with an axle intended
for attachment of the lever to bracket (3) and located close to it is a boss which
houses adjustment screw (5).
Mounted in the upper portion of lever-balance (11) is screw (4) designed to resist
the forces produced by the control pressure Рcont gg piston assembly. The lever-
balance assembly serves to compare a signal delivered from the temperature-sensing
probe with that produced by the fuel control pressure Pcont gg transmitter, and to
set control spool (2) into the equilibrium position.
The feedback system consists of one compressor VIGV (69) (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6),
feedback lever (70), feedback rod (72), FCU feedback lever (73), a dial, shaft (15)
(Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 1), feedback cam (16) and rod (17), variable arm lever (10),
spring (13), and adjustment screw (14).
Steel cam (16) is attached to shaft (15) with the aid of a coupling bolt. Shaft (15)
together with feedback cam (16) is turned in the coaxial hole of power shaft (44)
(Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 3) by feedback control lever (46) from one of VIGV's (69) (Ref.
073.12.00, Pig. 6) through feedback adjustable lever (70) and feedback rods (72).
The rods incorporate spring (77) which serves to take up the clearance.
The contour of cam (16) (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 1) is so profiled, that it transforms
a quadratic dependence of the fuel control pressure Pcont gg into a linear dependence
of a travel of piston (22) (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 2), that is the turning of the VGV's
proceeds in accordance with a linear relationship as a function of the gas generator
RPM.
Саш (16) (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 1) has a correlation line,on the cut portion of the boss
lateral surface, which is required to position cam (16) and lever (46) square to each
other in the course of assembly. Cam (16) is engaged with shaft (15) by means of worm
toothing and attached to the shaft by a coupling bolt.
The worm toothing allows to adjust the position of the cam by turning it about the
axis with the aid of adjustment screw (14). Cover (43) (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 3) has
two projections with threaded holes intended for stop screws restricting the travel
of feedback control lever (46).
To provide means for checking and adjusting the angular position of the VGV's,the
PCD body is fitted with a dial graduated in 1-deg increments, whereas power
lever (47) and feedback control lever (46) have ports and notches opposite the dial,
which allows to read the values of the setting angle. Lever (8), rotating about its
axle, spring (9) and bracket (6) provide the means for transmitting the force from
the rod of the temperature-sensing probe to lever-balance (11).
As the gas generator RPM increase, the positioning of the VIGV's and compressor
stages 1 to 4 VGV's with reapect to the value of the gas generator corrected RPM
is effected with a linear relationship (Ref. 072.00.00, Fig. 512) with a tolerance
of +1 degree within the pre-set engine inlet air temperature range of -60 to +50 °C.
The above mentioned accuracy of positioning the compressor vanes allows to obtain
a high-pressure compressor with a sufficient gas-dynamic stability, keeping at the
same time the compressor vanes stresses at the level as low as possible.
The fuel pressure is delivered from downstream of the pumping section via ports 'e'
provided in barrel (18) to the central groove in spool (2) and tapped to the
hydraulic power cylinder via grooves 'б' and'в'made in barrel (18) which are masked
by the working collars of spool (2) with a negative hydraulic overlap, that is when
the working collar is in a neutral position, fuel flows via the grooves in barrel (18)
both into the spill chamber and into the hydraulic power cylinder chambers.
Since the values of the pressure, in the chambers of the hydraulic power cylinders are
equal, the whole system is at equilibrium. Thanks to a continuous fuel flow, the
spool-hydraulic power cylinder system has no stagnant static zones and becomes sen-
sitive to a linear displacement of the spool, that it to a re-distribution of the
fuel flow.
This ensures a high accuracy of positioning of the VGV's. Lever-balance (11) controls
the movement of spool (2) which is pressed by spring (12) to the lever-balance. The
arms of lever-balance (11) are subjected to the control pressure Pcont gg at one side,
and to the pressure of spring (9) at the other side, varying with the amount of the
extension of the temperature-sensing probe rod in accordance with variation of the
OAT and the pressure of spring (12).
When the OAT is constant and the gas generator RPH are increasing, the fuel control
pressure Pcont gg acting on lever-balance (11) is rising. Lever-balance (11) is
turned counterclockwise and moves spool (2) to the right, thus admitting the high-
pressure fuel through ports 'a' and groove 'б' in barrel (18) into hydraulic power
cylinder chamber Ж (Ref. Fig. 30, Sheet 2) and allowing fuel to flow from chamber И
of the hydraulic power cylinder through groove 'B1 of barrel (18) into the spill line.
Piston (22) moves to the right (that is, in the direction of adjustable stop (27)),
thus turning the VGV's towards opening through power lever (47) (Ref. Pig. 30,
Sheet 3) and the lever plates. The turning of VIGV's (69) (Ref. 073.12.00, Pig. 6)
is transmitted through lever (70), feedback rod (72) and lever (46) (Ref. Fig. 30,
Sheet 3) to feedback cam (16) (Ref. Pig. 30, Sheet 1) and rod (17) causing them to
turn also. Rod (17) turns clockwise and displaces variable arm lever (10), which
increases the arm of the force transmitted from spring (9) to lever-balance (11).
Lever-balance (11) turns counterclockwise and displaces spool (2) to the left until
it comes to occupy a neutral position but at a new angular setting of the VGV's.
When the gas generator RPM are equal to or below 80 percent, lever-balance (11)
will shift spool (2) to the left with the aid of the force of spring (9) and, as
the result, hydraulic power cylinder chamber И becomes connected through ports 'a'
and groove 'B' in barrel (18) with the high-pressure fuel passage, whereas hydraulic
power cylinder chamber Ж becomes connected via groove 'б' of the barrel with the
spill line.
Piston (22) moves to the left until it touches adjustable stop (34) thus turning
the VGV's and setting them to the fully closed position.
When the gas generator RPM are constant and the OAT rises, the extension of the
temperature-sensing probe rod increases and lever (8) turns counterclockwise and
compresses spring (9). Acted upon by the force of spring (9), lever-balance (11)
turns'clockwise, thus shifting spool (2) to the left.
Spool (2) connects hydraulic power cylinder chamber И with the high-pressure fuel
line via ports 'a' and groove 'B' in barrel (18) and chamber Ж with the spill line
through groove 'б'. Аs the result, piston (22) moves to the left and partially closes
the VGV'e. While being shifted by the leverage towards the closed position, the VGV's
are turning feedback oant (16) clockwise and the feedback cam is moving variable arm
lever (10) by means of rod (17) upwards, thus shortening the arm of the force trans-
mitted from spring (9) to lever-balance (11). Lever-balance (11) turns counterclock-
wise and moves spool (2) to the neutral position. Thus, the VGV setting angles are
changed in accordance with the gas generator corrected RPM.
The linear relationship between setting angles of the VGV'e and the gas generator cor-
rected RPM is ensured by the profile of feedback cam (16).
The VGV setting angle characteristic is adjusted by varying length L1 of lever (70)
arm (Ref. 073.12.00, Fig. 6) and length L2 of feedback rod (72). In this case, the
variation of the length of arm L1 changes the slope of the characteristic, while the
variation of the length of arm L2 accomplishes a parallel shift of the characteristic.

General
The purpose of the free turbine protection system is to shut down the engine if the
free turbine RPM сошв to exceed (118+2) percent.
- Engine electronic governor (EEG) (free turbine circuit breaker) or limit power con-
dition governor (free turbine circuit).
The block diagram of the free turbine protection system is presented on Figure 1.
Description
The purpose of the free turbine circuit breaker of the engine electronic governor or
the free turbine circuit of the limit power condition governor is to produce command
signals to shut down the engine whenever the free turbine accelerates to the шах.
limit RPM.
The purpose of the speed inductive transducer is to produce electrical signals with
a frequency proportional to the free turbine RPM.
Fitted in the engine exhaust stack power cone are four speed inductive transducers,
two of which being used as stand-by units.
The purpose of the el. actuator is to direct the high-pressure fuel to the spill line
when an electrical signal is sent to the solenoid of the free turbine RPM el. actua-
tor.
The el. actuator is mounted on a bracket attached to the left-hand side of the engine
first support assembly housing (looking forward).
For the description and operation of the free turbine RPM el. actuator, refer to
073.16.10.
For the description and operation of the constant pressure differential valve, refer
to 073.12.05.
Operation
The free turbine circuit breaker (FT CB) of the engine electronic governor (or the free
turbine circuit of the limit power condition governor) keeps track of the values of the
engine turbine RPM. Should the free turbine RPM (Nft) reach the maximum limit speed
(Nftlim),theFT CB/FT circuit produces a command signal to shut down the engine by
means of the solenoid of the free turbine RPM el. actuator and a signal illuminating the
respective annunciator.
To minimize the possibility of a false output of the signals, the free turbine circuit
comprises two identical circuits.
The signal is delivered to the free turbine RPM el. actuator only when both circuits
have been actuated.
The free turbine high RPM signal is produced and the respective annunciator is illumi-
nated in case even one of the circuits has been actuated. As soon as the signal is
produced, the el. actuator effects an immediate spillage of the fuel from spring
chamber M of the throttle valve constant pressure differential valve (Ref. 073.12.00,
Fig. 6), which brings about the displacement of the valve resulting in the fuel spil-
lage from upstream of the throttle valve and the engine shutdown.
The free turbine protection system has a provision for testing the free turbine circuit
breaker/free turbine circuit, which may be carried out both for testing each circuit
separately by setting the selector switch either to the TEST 1 (КОНТРОЛЬ 1) or TEST 2
(КОНТРОЛЬ 2) position without the engine shutdown and for carrying out a common test
of both circuits with effecting the engine shutdown that is by putting out a signal
to the free turbine RPM el. actuator and the annunciator. When testing each circuit
individually, the annunciator is illuminated but no signal is sent to the free turbine
RPM el. actuator.
General
The ИМ-ЗА electric actuator (further on referred to as free turbine RPM el. actuator) is
intended to direct the HP fuel to the spill line whenever an electrical signal ia ap-
plied to ite solenoid.
Main Data
- Voltage (27+2.7) V
The free turbine RPM el. actuator incorporates casing (1) (Ref. Fig. 1), filter (2),
valve (3), and solenoid (4) with a flap.
As soon as an electrical signal is delivered to the solenoid its flap moves to the
right and opens valve (3), thus permitting the HP fuel to pass from chamber A through
filter (2) and valve (3) and enter el. actuator chamber Б connected with the spill
line via connection (д).

Depending on the method of packaging of the free turbine RPM el. actuators supplied to

Рог the instructions on storage of the free turbine RPM el. actuators, refer to 072.00.00,
"Engine - Storage Instructions".
During shipment of the electric actuators observe the requirements laid down in Section
072.00.00, "Engine - Shipment".
General
The purpose of the turbine inlet gas temperature (TIT) limiting system is to enaure
automatic limitation of the oompresaor turbine inlet gas temperature at a pre-deter-
mined level.
- Thermocouple harness.
Description
The purpose of the gas temperature controller is to amplify and convert the input
signal supplied from the thermocouples into voltage which controls the operation of
the FCU el. actuator.
For the description and operation of the gas temperature controller, refer to
073.17.02 and to the Helicopter Maintenance Manual.
The purpose of the thermocouple harness is to produce signals proportional to the TIT.
The thermocouple harneee has two circuits. One circuit is used to monitor the TIT on
a running engine and the other serves to put out signals for the gas temperature con-
troller. The thermocouples are connected to the gas temperature controller via the
terminal block with the aid of the compensating chromel-alumel wires. The temperature
compensation of the cold junction is effected inside the gas temperature controller.
The thermocouple harness is mounted on the casing of the compressor turbine NGV as-
sembly.
The FCU el. actuator is intended to change the fuel flow into the engine depending
on the magnitude and duty cycle of the signal delivered from the gas temperature
controller.
For the description and operation of the FCU el. actuator, refer to 073.12.05.
Operation
If the TIT comes to exceed the level pro-set by the gas temperature controller, the
value of the mismatch between the thermal electromotive force produced by the thermo-
couples and the setting device reference voltage increases. This difference between
the signals is fed to the input of the amplifier stage control winding, wherein it is
amplified, converted in the subsequent stages of the amplifier and applied via the
engine electronic governor to the polarized relay in the PCU el. actuator in the shape
of the high-frequency pulses. When the FCU el. actuator is energized, the fuel flow
is reduced and the TIT drops.
NOTE: On engines equipped with the limit power condition governors, the difference in
signals is fed to the polarized relay by-passing the limit power condition
governor.
To ensure a steady-state operation of the TIT limiting system, its circuit employs an
inertial negative feedback, which ensures a pulsating operation mode of the el. actua-
tor.
Shown on Figure 2 is the voltage pattern at the output of the temperature controller at
different magnitudes of the input signal.
When the gas temperature increases, as it was noted above, the temperature controller
applies a signal to the el. actuator. This signal is applied simultaneously to the
inertial negative feedback winding in the amplifier stage. In this case, the signal
applied to the el. actuator disappears, but if the TIT remains above the pre-set level,
the signal will appear again.
The process described will repeat until the TIT drops below the limitation level.
The duty cycle of the el. actuator relay varies from 0 to 100 percent depending on the
amount of excess of the actual TIT over the pre-set value.
If the output of a signal with a large duty cycle causes the gas generator RPM to drop
below 84 percent, the el. actuator and, hence, the gas temperature controller get dis-
connected from the control circuit. As soon as the gas generator RPM come to exceed
a level of 84 percent, the el. actuator and, hence, the gas temperature controller
again become connected to the control circuit.
General
The gas temperature controller is employed as a component part of the engine fuel flow
control system and is fitted to the helicopter.

Voltage Stabilizer
The DC voltage stabilizer serves to ensure a stability of the gas temperature control-
ler output parameters irrespective of variations in the supply voltage.
With the supply voltage varying within a range of 20 to 30 V, the DC voltage stabi-
lizer ensures the 17-V output voltage.
DC Inverter
The DC inverter is intended to transform the DC into the AC and to provide for conduc-
tively uncoupled DC and AC power sources with different voltage levels.
The purpose of the max. limit temperature setting device of the controller with com-
parison circuits is to set the TIT limiting system with a high degree of accuracy and
stability.
The max. limit temperature setting device ie energized from an Individual power source
conductively uncoupled from the DC circuit.
The purpose of the input magnetic amplifier la to amplify the DC voltage signal pro-
duced after comparison of the thermal electromotive force supplied by the thermoco-
uples with the reference voltage of the max. limit temperature setting device and to
invert it into the AC signal.
Then the signal, amplified and inverted into the alternating current with a frequency
of the supply magnetic amplifier, is applied to the input of the two-stage, phase-
sensitive detector-amplifier.
The purpose of the summing magnetic amplifier is to amplify the correction circuit,
output magnetic signal and then to sum it up with the signals produced by the inertial
negative feedback and the built-in self-testing circuit as well as to convert them
into the AC signal.
The amplified signal is supplied from the summing magnetic amplifier to the input of
the УТ-7А phase-sensitive detector-amplifier.
Similarly to the УТ-7 unit, the purpose of the УТ-7А phase-sensitive detector-ampli-
fier is to amplify and convert the AC control signal into the DC voltage whose pola-
rity is determined by the phase of the control signal and the value is proportional
to the amplitude of the control signal. The amplified and rectified output signal of
the phase-sensitive detector-amplifier is delivered to the input of the flip-flop.
ТГ-14А Flip-Flop
The purpose of the ТГ-14А flip-flop is to convert the linear command signal both
into the relay-type signal and into the command signal effecting control over the
output amplifier of the gas temperature controller. Acting as the load of the flip-
flop is the winding of the FCU el. actuator.
Check/Protection Unit
The check/protection unit serves to produce a command signal to the actuator relay in
case of continuous un-controlled actuation of the FCU el. actuator caused by a mal-
function in the TIT control system (including the gas temperature controller) or in
case the excess of the max. limit gas temperature over the acceptable level reaches
a danger level.
In case of an un-controlled actuation of the solenoid and if the TIT comes to exceed
the value set by the max. limit temperature setting device by more than (100+30) °C,
a command signal is applied to the actuator relay of the check/protection unit with-
in 0.8 s.
The protection system of the stages serves to cut off automatically all amplifier
stages in case the thermocouple harness circuit becomes open.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
General
The purpose of the air bleed system is to prevent icing of the power plant inlet portion,
to ensure a steady-state operation of the engine at transient power conditions, to ensure
normal functioning of the seals of the engine support assemblies, and to provide the
helicopter systems with hot air.
To protect the engine inlet portion from icing when it is operated In ice-forming con-
ditions, the engine is equipped with the anti-icing system. The engine anti-icing
system uses the secondary-flow hot air tapped from the combustion chamber (that is
from the space formed by the diffuser outer casing and the combustion chamber flame
tube outer fairing).
Рог the description and operation of the anti-icing system, refer to 075.10.00.
Рог the description and operation of the compressor control system, refer to
075.30.00.
The purpose of the engine support assemblies pressurization system is to ensure re-
liable functioning of the rotors support assemblies and it effects both the pressu-
rization of the seals and the relief of the pressure in the air chambers of the sup-
port assemblies.
The pressurization of the first support assembly seal is effected by the air tapped
from the fifth stage of the compressor along pipe (2) (Ref. Fig. 1).
The pressurization of the second support assembly seal is effected by the air taken
from aft of the compressor via the labyrinth seal and by the combustion chamber
secondary air.

The preasurization of the seal of the fourth aad fifth support assemblies is effected
by the air supplied from the fifth stage of the compressor along pipe (5) (Ref.
Fig. 1).
The values of the pressure required for the pressurisation of the seals of the support
assemblies are obtained by selective fitment of the jets in the pressurising air sup-
ply pipes.
The required operational pressure differential across the second support assembly
carbon seals is ensured by a provision for the air pressure relief from the air cham-
ber of the second support assembly via two pipes (4) (Ref. Fig. 1) and (1) (Ref.
Fig. 2) into the exhaust stack.
The pre-set value of the pressure within the air chamber of the second support as-
sembly has been established proceeding from the requirement of ensuring the neces-
sary axial force acting upon the second support assembly bearing.
The engine has a provision for bleeding air for the following helicopter services:
- An air-conditioning system.
The air bleeds for the anti-icing system of the dust-protection device and for heat-
ing of the air conduit supplying cooling air to the FCU temperature-sensing probe are
effected via flange (5) (Ref. Fig. 2). the air bleed for the ejector of the dust-
protection device is effected via air bleed connection (2). The air bleeds for the
air-conditioning system and for heating the pilots' suits are effected via flange (3)
(Ref. Fig. 1) or flange (4) (Ref. Fig. 2).

General
The purpose of the engine anti-icing system ia to protect the engine inlet section from
icing when operating in ice-forming conditions. The engine anti-icing system is making
use of the hot air tapped from the combustion chamber housing.
The hot air ia used to heat the surfaces of the inlet fairing, front edges of the first
support assembly housing horizontal struts, compressor VIGV'a and inlet aection of the
air conduit supplying cooling air to the FCU temperature-sensing probe.
The anti-icing system may be cut in both automatically (on receipt of a command signal
from the radioisotope ice detector) and manually.
- Pipes.
Description
The purpose of the radioisotope ice detector is to cut in automatically the anti-
icing system as soon as ice begins to accrue in the engine air intake. The ice de-
tector belongs to the helicopter equipment.
The purpose of the hot air valve is to supply and shut off the hot air from the
combustion chamber to the elements of the engine air intake duct, that is, it
functions only in two extreme positions: open and closed.
When an electrical signal is delivered from the radioisotope ice detector or selector
switch (in case of manual control), the hot air valve el. actuator reverses the shut-
off device to the open or closed position. When the hot air valve is fully open, the
limit switch of the el. actuator delivers a signal to the check light indicating the
activation of the anti-icing system.
The hot air valve is secured with the aid of clamps (3) (Ref. Section 072.00.00,
Fig. 809) via sealing gaskets (4) at one side to elbow (8) fitted to the first sup-
port assembly housing and at the other side to flexible pipe (5) conveying air from
the combustion chamber. Elbow (8) has a flange used for attachment of the pipes tap-
ping hot air for the helicopter services and for heating the air conduit supplying
cooling air to the temperature-sensing probe of the FCU.
Рог the description and operation of the hot air valve, refer to 075.10.02.
The temperature control device is designed to limit the hot air flow from the compres-
sor to the intake duct elements being heated in order to reduce the power looses in
the course of engine operation with the anti-icing device out in at the power condi-
tions above the idle setting. The temperature control device is installed in the line
supplying hot air to the anti-icing system and attached with its flanges to the pipes.
The temperature control device includes casing,(4) (Ref. Fig. 2), movable segment (2)
with bimetallic spring (3), fixed segment (1), and ball supports (5).
When the engine is operating with the anti-icing system cut in, the compressor hot air
passes through the temperature control device and heats bimetallic spring (3), which
turns movable segment (2) thus changing the passage area. As the temperature of the
hot air delivered into the anti-icing system increases, the passage area of the tempe-
rature control device decreases, and vice versa. Movable segment (2) rotates in the
temperature control device on ball supports (5), one of which is located in casing (4)
and the other in fixed segment (1). One end of bimetallic spring (3) is fixed statio-
nary within the casing of the temperature control device whereas the other end is
riveted to movable segment (2).
- Pipe (8) (Ref. Fig. 1) bleeding air from the combustion chamber.
- Elbow (2).
Pipe (8) tapping air from the combustion chamber is secured at one side with its
flange to combustion chamber flange (10) and at the other side to the flange of tempe-

tope ice detector), the el. actuator of the hot air valve reverses the shut-off device
and sets it to the open position.
The hot air is aupplied to elbow (2), passes via the horizontal strut and enters the
first support assembly housing. The hot air is delivered via a system of passages and
ports to the inlet fairing and second horizontal strut and then discharged into the
engine flow-path via ports in the inlet fairing and the struts.
A portion of the air gets into the annular chamber of the first support assembly housing
accommodating the lower trunnions of the compressor VIGV's. Passing through the ports
provided in the trunnions of the compressor VIGV's, the air enters the inner chamber of
the vane front portion and, flowing around its thin-walled skin, discharges via special
passages into the flow-path. Two vertical struts of the first support assembly housing
are heated with oil.

1. General
The purpose of the compressor control system is to exercise control over the angular
position of the VIGV's and VGV's of the compressor first four stages as well as to
bleed air from the compressor seventh stage to atmosphere.
The VGV control mechanism serves to effect the angular positioning of the VIGV's and
VGVs of the compressor first four stages in compliance with the pre-set program in
relation to the gas generator rotor corrected RPM.
The control over the angular position of the vanes is effected by means of the FCU and
hydraulic power cylinder which is hydraulically connected to the FCU.
- Upper lever plate (21) (Ref. Fig. 1) and lower lever plate (14).
The VGV control mechanism is located on the compressor casing in the region of the
compressor 1 to 4 stages.
Upper lever plate (21) is connected with the aid of adjustable rod (24) to FCU power
lever (23).
Lower lever plate (14) is connected to the lever of hydraulic power cylinder (17).
Attached to the lever plates are identical double-arm levers (22) which are jointed
with the aid of rods (25) and (26) to the lugs of slewing rings (10).
Rods (25) and (26) are made adjustable to compensate for the manufacturing errors of
the parts of the mechanical system.
Slewing rings (10) are fitted to special axles (5) provided with rollers (7).
The VGV'e and the slewing rings are jointed together with the aid of VGV levers (2)
inserted into the respective slots of the rings and secured by pins (3) passed
through the holes made in the rings and levers. Clamps (15) serve to protect pins (3)
from falling out.
To ensure a pre-set accuracy of angular positioning of the VGV'e, one of the VIGV's
has feedback lever (16) fitted to it. The feedback lever is jointed via adjustable
rod (11) to FCU feedback lever (12). The backlashes in the feedback lever joints are
taken up by spring (13) connected with the lug of feedback rod (11) and the bracket
rigidly secured to the compressor casing.
Bracket (20) included into the VGV control system provides an additional support to
the vane trunnions in order to reduce the rocking of the VIGV having the feedback
lever.
The installation and adjustment of the VGV control mechanism is performed with refer-
ence to dial (18) and pointer (19) fitted to a VIGV.
FCU power lever (23) and the lever of the hydraulic power cylinder effect a simulta-
neous displacement of upper lever plate (21) and lower lever plate (14) which, in
turn, reposition slewing rings (10) (via double-arm levers (22) and adjustable
rods (25)) and the VIGV's and VGV's of the compressor first four stages (via VGV
levers (2)).
The purpose of the air bleed valves is to convey a proportion of 'the air from the
seventh stage of the compressor into atmosphere.
Two simultaneously operating air bleed valves are mounted on the flanges of the com-
pressor stage 7 housing.

General
The purpose of the ДТА-10 speed Inductive transducer (Ref. Fig. 1) is to produce elec-
trical pulses of voltage that have a pulse recurrence frequency proportional to the
engine free turbine rotor RPM.
The transducer is designed for operation in temperate, cold and tropical climatic con-
ditions.
Description
Main Data
Design
The ДТА-10 speed inductive transducer includes permanent cylindrical magnet (1) (Ref.
Fig. 2) which carries heat-resistant wire coil (2). The ends of the coil winding are
soldered to pins (3) of contact block (4) made of moulding material.
The component parts of the transducer are enclosed in case (5) made of stainless
steel.
Operation
The speed inductive transducer is basically a voltage pulse generator. Due to variation
in the resistance of the magnetic circuit which occurs in the course of rotation of the
inductor, the electrical pulses of voltage are induced into the generator winding. The
pulse recurrence frequency is proportional to the engine free turbine rotor RPM,
The relationship between the voltage pulse recurrence frequency and the angular speed is
as follows:
where
f is frequency of electrical pulses, Hz.
Z is number of teeth of indicator.
H is inductor rotational speed, RPM.

General
The purpose of the ДЧВ-2500 speed inductive transducer (Ref. Fig. 1) is to effect a
proportional conversion of the gas generator rotor RPM into the frequency of electri-
cal signals supplied via two electrically independent circuits into the control system.
The principle of operation of the inductive transducer consists in inducing the elect-
rical pulses of voltage into the transducer winding due to variation in the magnetic
circuit resistance occurring during rotation of the inductor secured under the end face
of the transducer on the shaft mechanically engaged with the gas generator rotor.
The transducer operates in conjunction with the inductor which is an integral part of
the engine.
NOTE: Some engine models are not equipped with transducers (Ref. Book 3, 072.15.04 or
072.16.04).
Description
Main Data
- Operating medium:
NОТЕ: An increase in the temperature up to +300 °C for a mar. period of two mi-
nutes per engine operating cycle is acceptable with the total time not
exceeding 1.5 percent within the service life.
Design
The speed inductive transducer includes the following basic units and parts: coil (1)
(Ref. Pig. 2), case (2), block (3), magnet (4), insulation gasket (5), and cover (6).
Coil (1) is of the frameless type and comprises two heat-resisting wire windings. The
ends of the coil outlets are brought out to the terminal lugs of block (3).
Fоr the schematic diagram of the speed inductive transducer, refer to Figure 3.
Case (2) (Ref. Pig. 2) is made of a non-magnetic stainless steel. Machined in the
middle portion of the case is a blind stepped bore providing accommodation to coil (1),
permanent magnet (4), and block (3).
The side surface of the bore has a slot to suit the projection of block (3) and the
shoulder of cover (6) to locate them in position.
The cylindrical surface of the case has two ports intended for filling the space form-
ed by the case, coil (2) and block (3) with an insulating material. Provided on the
external surface of the case is a cylindrical flange that serves for attachment of the
speed inductive transducer to the engine by means of a special coupling flange.
Provided in the flange end face is a slot ensuring location of the transducer with re-
spect to the register pin on the engine casing. Block (3) is made of a moulding mate-
rial. Moulded in the block are four contact pins that are coupled in the lower portion
with the terminal lugs. The leads of the windings are soldered to the terminal lugs,
while the el. connector receptacle serves to supply current to the pins. The block has
four longitudinal slots and a radiused projection. On soldering the winding leads to
the terminal lugs, the latter are bent into the longitudinal slots of the block. The
radiused projection serves to locate the block with respect to the slot provided in
the case.
Cover (6) presses the block via insulation gaskets (5) to the end face of magnet (4)
and the magnet to the bottom of the case. Magnet (4) is made of a magnetic alloy and
is shaped as a circular rod with magnetic poles at its end faces.
Insulation gasket (5) IB made of an electrical insulating material and serves to seal
the interior of the transducer when filling the case.
Cover (6) is made of stainless steel and provided with a threaded connection designed
for coupling with the four-pinned el. connector receptacle having pin sockets to suit
the contact pins and a circular flange for location within the case.
Casing (7) and plug (8) are intended to protect the external surfaces of the transducer
from mechanical damage during shipment and storage.
Operation
During rotation of the inductor mechanically coupled to the gas generator rotor, each of
it a teeth, while passing in the immediate proximity to the end face of the speed induc-
tive transducer assembled on the permanent magnet, changes the magnetic field surround-
ing the loops of the coil. As the remit of this, the electrical pulses of voltage are
induced into the transducer coil. The pulse recurrence frequency is proportional to the
number of teeth of the inductor and to its rotational speed and, therefore, to the gas
generator rotor RPM.

thermoelectrode is a positive thermoelectrode of the thermocouple and the alumel
electrode is a negative one. The thermoelectrodes are embedded in the thermocement
mass contained in sleeve (3) welded to stagnation chamber (1). The stagnation cham-
ber has inlet port В and outlet port A. The thermoelectrodee are insulated in thermo-
couple casing (4) by means of the thermocement mass. The axis of the flange attach-
ment holes is offset relative to the axis of the stagnation chamber by 2 mm, which
ensures correct installation of the thermocouple with respect to the gas flow (inlet
port В shall be facing the incident gas flow).
Welded to thermocouple casing (4) is cover (5) that carries two screws (8) and (9)
attached to it. The screws are made of the same material as the thermoelectrodee and
have thermoelectrodes (2) welded to it.
The electrical connection between the thermocouples as well as between the thermo-
couples and the secondary instruments (i.e. the measuring equipment) is carried out
by means of flexible compensating wires of grades ФК-Х and ФК-А or ПКФ-МТ and ПКФ-НМ.
The wires are connected to contact screws (8) and (9) of the thermocouple with the
aid of terminals made of the respective thermoelectrode alloys. The terminals are
welded to the compensating leads and secured by self-looking nuts (6) and (7).
3. Operation
3.1. When the hot junction of two thermoelectrodes of the thermocouple is being heated, a
thermo-emf is created at the thermocouple free ends, its magnitude being dependent on
the material of the thermoelectrodee and a temperature difference between the thermo-
couple hot junction and free ends.

Description
Two chromel (positive) M4 screws (9) and two alumel (negative) M5 screws (10) are used
as the contact points of the terminal block.
Screws (10) are connected to each other by a piece of 1.2-mm dia alumel wire (7) while
screws (9) are connected by a piece of 1.2-mm dia chromel wire (8) bent so as to exclude
the possibility of bridging the chromel and alumel screws when fitting them into ceramic
insulator (11).
The contact screws inserted into the ceramic insulator and attached to it with nuts (3)
and (6) shall be located in casing (2) in a certain position. The insulator with the
contact screws is secured in the casing by means of rolling over the casing edges.
Self-locking nuts (5) and (4) are fitted to M4 screws (9) and M5 screws (10), respecti-
vely.

1. General
The purpose of the П-77 (Ref. Fig. 1) temperature bulb is to measure the FPU temperatu-
re-sensing probe air inlet temperature.
The principle of operation of the temperature bulb is based on employing the property
of metals (platinum wire) to change its electrical resistance with temperature.
Each value of the measured temperature corresponds to a certain value of the electric-
al resistance.
A set of the П—77 temperature bulb includes a temperature bulb and a copper-asbestos
sealing ring.
The temperature bulb is screwed into a special socket provided in the air conduit
supplying air to the FCU temperature-sensing probe.
Main Data

Т is absolute temperature value of medium being measured in °C.
dT = +(0.3 + 6.0*10-3)°C
where
T is absolute temperature value of medium being
measured in °C
Design
The temperature bulb is a non-detachable unit and includes the following main compo-
nents: thermoelement (1) (Ref. Pig. 2), fitting (2), and el. connector (3). Thermo-
element (1) consists of platinum wire (4) wound over mica plates (5).
Pasted up to both sides of the thermoelement are mica insulating gaskets (6). Pitted
over the insulating gaskets are thermally conductive, bronze, spring strips (7). The
assembled thermoelement is inserted into fitting (2) made of stainless steel and se-
cured with nut (8).
The temperature bulb is connected to the gaa temperature controller by means of two-
pinned el. connector (3).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
General
The purpose of the cranking system is to crank up the gas generator rotor in the course
of a starting to a certain rotational speed enabling the engine thereupon to gain the
idle power condition without assistance as well as when carrying out wet and dry motor-
ing runs.
- Air starter.
Description
The АИ-9В/AИ-9 turbine engine ia designed to supply compressed air to the air starter.
For the description and operation of the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine, refer to the respective
Maintenance Manual.
The purpose of the air starter is to crank the gas generator rotor at starting. Ihe
air starter is operated by the compressed air supplied from the АИ-9В/АИ-9 turbine en-
gine.
The air starter is installed in the upper portion of the engine and secured with a
clamp to the flange on the rear wall of the external drive gearbox and with a bracket
provided with a rubber shock mount to the compressor casing aft flange.
Рог the description and operation of the air starter, refer to 080.12.00.
Operation
The engine cranking is controlled by the auto start control unit mounted in the helicop-
ter.
The cranking of the gas generator rotor is performed by the air starter operated by the
compressed air supplied from the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine.
Upon the acceleration of the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine to the operational power condition and
depression of the START (ЗАПУСК) button, the auto start control unit puts out a signal
to the air starter solenoid valve which admits the compressed air into the starter tur-
bine.
As the gas generator rotor RPM attain a level of 60 to 65 percent, the FCU microswitch
de-energizes the air starter solenoid valve thus shutting off the air flow to the air
starter.
If by the 55th second after the depression of the START (ЗАПУСК) button, the engine fails
to attain the rotational speed of 60 to 65 percent, the cranking system gets disconnected
together with the auto start control unit.
If the air starter falls to get cut out at the rotational speed of (66+1) percent, it
shall be disconnected by depressing the START DISCONT (ПРЕКРАЩЕНИЕ ЗАПУСКА) button. In
this case, the AIR STARTER ON (CB РАБОТАЕТ) annunciator shall go out.
In cases of emergency, when the starter turbine RPH come to exceed the max. limit value,
the air starter centrifugal switch de-energizes the solenoid valve thus shutting off the
air flow to the air starter.
General
The purpose of the air starter is to crank the gas generator rotor in the course of a
dry motoring run, a wet motoring run and an engine starting.
- An air valve.
- A control unit.
- A turbine.
- A reduction gear.
- An air filter.
Description
The air valve is an actuating mechanism that serves to admit and to shut off the com-
pressed air flow from the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine into the starter turbine.
Air valve casing (4) is secured with studs to middle casing (12).
Attached to the air valve casing are the control unit and air filter (3). Located in-
side air valve casing (4) is valve sleeve (5) with bronze bushings for piston (6).
Valve sleeve (5) provides accommodation to piston (6), piston rod (7), piston spring
(8), a mechanism of electrical contact points intended to provide an indication of the
open position of the valve, and the contact points of the air starter max. limit speed
flyweights assembly. Piston (6) is provided with a sealing element comprising two
fluoroplastic cups. Located inside piston (6) in a guide casing is rod (7) with &
thrust ring. Rod (7) slides together with piston (6). When the piston is shifted to
a distance of (0.6+0.2) mm from the closed position, the mechanism of electrical con-
tact points providing an indication of the air valve open position comes into action
and the AIR STARTER ON (СВ РАБОТАЕТ) annunciator comes on. When the pressure in the В
and Г chambers becomes equal, the piston acted upon by spring (8) closes the air
valve.
2.2. The purpose of the control unit is to control the operation of the air starter air
valve. The control unit is located in the upper portion of the air starter and secured
to the casing of the air valve with the aid of studs.
The control unit incorporates the following major parts and assemblies:
Located inside the control unit casing is disc valve (21) with a tappet.
Secured with studs to the control unit casing is solenoid valve (28).
Rod (26) of the solenoid valve is coated with fluoroplastic and loaded by spring (27).
The pressure limiter together with rod (23) serves to limit the air pressure upstream
of the starter turbine if it exceeds the pre-set level. Attached to rod (23) is laby-
rinth seal bushing (24). The pressure limiter is adjusted by changing the tightening
of spring (22).

Operation
The compressed air is delivered from the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine to the inlet of air starter
air valve casing (4) (Ref. Fig. 1) (chamber B). The purpose of two ports (1) is to bleed
the compressed air into atmosphere, thus ensuring the supply of the heating air to the air
valve. At the same time, the air from chamber В is supplied through pipe (2) via air
filter (3) to disc valve (21) of the control unit and then further via the pasaages pro-
vided in air valve casing (4) to inner chamber Г of air valve piston (6). The forces of
the air pressure acting upon both aides of piston (6) are balanced out and spring (S)
keeps the piston in the closed position.
On depressing the START (ЗАПУСК) button, the power is supplied to control unit solenoid
valve (28) which extends rod (26) and shifts disc valve (21) to the right. The passage
delivering air into chamber Г gets closed, whereas the passage bleeding the air from
chamber Г through bleeder jet (25) to the atmosphere gets open.
Bleeder jet (25) ensures delayed opening of piston (6) and progressive increase in the
air pressure upstream of turbine (10). The pressure within chamber Г drops and piston
(6) acted upon by the air pressure supplied from the АИ-9В/АИ-9 engine moves to the
right thus initiating the air flow to the turbine.
Rod (7) complete with a thrust ring moves together with piston (6) within the guide eas-
ing. Rod (7) closes the contact points located in air valve sleeve (5), thus energising
the AIR STARTER ON (CB РАБОТАЕТ) annunciator.
The compressed air starts rotating turbine (10) which transmits a torque to the engine
rotor via planetary reduction gear (14).
The air pressure in front of the compressor turbine is conveyed through a pipe to cham-
ber A in the control unit. If the air pressure upstream of the starter turbine cones to
exceed a pre-set level, the pressure in front of labyrinth seal bushing (24) rises caus-
ing rod (23) to overcome the force of spring (22) and to shift. As the result, the air
from chamber В is admitted into chamber Г via by-pass passage K, thus by-passing disc
valve (21), through a port having a larger sectional area than that of bleeder jet (25).
The pressure in chamber Г starts building up causing piston (6) to move to reduce the
air flow into the turbine, which leads to a reduction in the air pressure upstream of the
starter turbine.
The air pressure drop in front of the starter turbine leads to a pressure drop in front
of labyrinth seal bushing (24). As the result, spring (22) shifts pressure limiter rod
(23) towards masking the port supplying air into chamber Г. In this case, air valve pis-
ton (6) comes to rest in a new equilibrium position.
The air starter cut-out is effected by de-energizing solenoid valve (28). In this case,
spring (27) presses solenoid valve rod (26) into the solenoid valve, whereas disc valve
(21) gets pressed out by its own spring, thus allowing air to flow into chamber Г. At
the same time, the passage relieving the air pressure from chamber Г through bleeder jet
(25), gets closed. The air pressure in chamber Г comes to equal that upstream of piston
(6) and spring (8) causes piston (6) to return to the closed position, thus shutting off
the air flow to the starter turbine.
The air starter cut-out signal is supplied from the following units:
- The FCU microswitch (on engine acceleration to the RPM at which the air starter is to
be cut out).
- The auto start control unit (on completion of its operating cycle)c
If the air starter turbine RPM in the course of an engine starting reach the max. limit
value for some reason (such as a shear of the safety shaft, a late disconnection of the
air starter, etc.), the centrifugal switch cuts out the solenoid valve power supply cir-
cuit which leads to a closure of the air valve.

General
The purpose of the ignition system is to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion
chamber in the course of an engine starting both on the ground and in flight.
The engine employs a low-voltage capacitance ignition system including the following ele-
ments :
- An ignition unit.
Description
The purpose of the ignition unit is to transform the power source voltage into a volt-
age required to produce an electrical spark at the moment of a discharge occurring be-
tween the electrodes of the ignition plug.
The ignition unit is shaped as a rectangular box and secured to the casing of the com-
pressor and first support assembly with the aid of plate brackets and rubber shock
mounts.
Рог the description and operation of the ignition unit, refer to 080.21.01.
The engine is fitted with two ignition plugs installed on the combustion chamber cas-
ing.
Por the description and operation of the ignition plug, refer to 080.21.02.
The purpose of the HV wire is to feed a high-voltage electrical discharge to the igni-
tion plug.
- An HV wire.
- A protective hose.
High-Voltage Wire
Figure 1
Two HV wires, differing in a length only, serve to connect the contact points of the
ignition unit with the contact pointe of the ignition plug and are located on the en-
gine in the region of the turbine stage 1 NGV's.
HV wire (7) (Ref. Fig. 1) differs from the remaining wires of the engine electrical
equipment by a high value of the resistance of its insulation, since it is used to con-
vey a high-voltage discharge. The HV wire is enclosed in protective braiding (5). Sol-
dered to the ends of the HV wire are terminal lugs that serve to provide & contact be-
tween the ignition plug and the ignition unit.
Terminal lug (2) intended for coupling with the ignition unit is of the pinned type. HV
wire (7) extends to the tip of pin (1) of the terminal lug and is soldered there to
the pin. The HV wire is protected at the terminal lug by insulator (4). Terminal lug
(2) is secured to the ignition unit by means of round coupling nut (3).
Terminal lug (11) intended for coupling with the ignition plug is of the elbow bend
type and provided with a plug. HV wire (7) is soldered to plug (8) that is protected
with insulator (9). Coupling nut (10) secures terminal lug (11) to the ignition plug.
The purpose of the pressurizing air valve is to supply air from the turbine engine to
the main fuel manifold at engine starting.
The pressurizing air valve is mounted on the compressor outlet guide vanes housing
with the aid of brackets.
For the description and operation of the pressurizing air valve, refer to 080.21.06.
Operation
On the 5th second after depression of the START (ЗАПУСК) button, the auto start control
unit energizes the ignition unit which transforms the supplied energy into a voltage
required to ensure functioning of the ignition plug.
This voltage is supplied via two HV wires to the ignition plugs which produce sparks at
the moment when a discharge occurs between the ignition plug electrodes, thus causing
the fuel-air mixture to ignite.
Simultaneously with the energization of the air starter solenoid valve and initiation
of the air supply for cranking of the air starter, air is delivered via a pipe from the
air starter to the pressurizing air valve. From the pressurizing air valve the air is
delivered to the main fuel manifold of the fuel nozzles to improve the atomization of the
fuel fed into the primary fuel manifold of the fuel nozzles. When the fuel-air mixture
has been lit up and the fuel pressure within the primary fuel manifold has built up to
a level of 5 to 6 kgf/cm2, the pressurising air valve get в closed by this pressure thus
terminating the air flow to the main fuel manifold of the nozzles.
The ignition system gets out out on the 30th second by the command signal produced by
the auto start control unit.

General
The purpose of the capacitance ignition unit is to transform the voltage of the power
source into a voltage required to ensure functioning of the semi-conducting ignition
plug.
The ignition unit has two independent equivalent electric circuits and in conjunction
with two ignition plugs, shielded HV wires, HV fittings, and the starting system is
used to ignite the fuel-air mixture at engine startings on the ground and in flight.
The ignition unit incorporates the P-26 dischargers with radioactive isotopes.
Since the radiation doze rate on the outer surface of the ignition unit does not ex-
ceed the permissible safety rate, the ignition unit and its packaging bear no sign of
radiation hazard for the maintenance personnel and no special protective means are re-
quired.
Description
Main Data
Design
The external view of the ignition unit is presented in Figure 1. The design of the ig-
nition unit includes two identical groups of units, secured within the casing by means
of screws with the aid of clamps and fittings press-fitted into plastic cases of the
units.
Provided on the external surface of the ignition unit casing (1) are PWR SUPPLY (ПИТА-
НИЕ) el. connector (3), TEST (КОНТРОЛЬ) el. connector (5), and HV output ferrules (4)
intended for connection of shielded HV wires having a maximum length of 1.5 m and pro-
vided with sealing bushings. In service, the ZEST (КОНТРОЛЬ) el. connector is blanked
off with a plug. The casing has four mounting lugs with holes intended for attachment
of the ignition unit to the engine. The ignition unit is closed with cover (6) welded
to the casing after assembly of the ignition unit.

Operation
On connection of the ignition unit to the power source, the current starts flowing
via the normally closed contacts of two solenoid tremblers and primary winding L1
of induction coil E. Аз the current gradually grows in intensity, it creates an in-
creasing magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit of the coil. As the magnetic flux,
creating the electromagnetic force attracting the armature of the tremblers to the
core, reaches a level when the electromagnetic force overcomes the opposing force of
the trembler springs, the contacts of both tremblers become open. The circuit of the
contact points becomes de-energized and, owing to the electromagnetic energy stored in
primary winding L1 of induction coil E, the electrical oscillations of the current and
voltage are set up in the primary circuit. These oscillations induce a high voltage in
secondary winding L2 of induction coil E. Reservoir capacitor C2 is charged through
rectifier V. Aa the oscillations in the primary circuit get damped, the magnitude of
the electromagnetic force in the primary circuit, attracting the armatures to the core,
is reduced and, as the result, the forces of the springs cause the armatures of the
tremblers to return to the initial position and remake their contacts. She current in
the primary winding again starts growing to a value sufficient to break the contacts.
The processes of making and breaking the contacts are repeated with a frequency of
about 700 cycles per second. Bach cycle ensures some portion of the electrical charge
built up on reservoir capacitor C2.
The charging of capacitor C3 proceeds through safety resistor R1 and occurs simultane-
ously with that of the reservoir capacitor. As capacitor C3 voltage builds up to a le-
vel equal to discharger F breakdown voltage (about 3 kV), the discharger gap breaks

down. The resistance value of the safety resistor is selected so that by the moment
the breakdown of the discharger gap occurs, capacitor C3 voltage should only slightly
differ from the voltage of reservoir capacitor C2. Following the breakdown of the dis-
charger gap, the voltage of the reservoir capacitor is applied to the ignition plug,
thus ensuring its 'training' period, following which the energy stored on reservoir
capacitor C2 dissipates through the discharger and ignition plug.
Then (within the same number of cycles of trembler actuations), the charging of the
reservoir capacitor, breakdown of the discharger gap, and dissipation of the energy
stored by the reservoir capacitor takes place again. These processes are repeated
with the frequency of discharges across the ignition plug of 1 to 25 discharges per
second as long as the ignition unit remains connected to the power source. The elect-
rical discharges occurring on the ignition plug serve to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
The ignition unit circuit includes a special test transmitter. The functioning of the
test transmitter is based on a principle of operation of the current transformer. Ac-
ting as a primary winding of transformer T1 is a wire connecting the discharger with
HV output Ж3 and passed through the hole in the toroidal transmitter. At each dis-
charge across the ignition plug, due to a discharge current equal to several hundred
amperes passing through the connecting wire, a pulse of current is induced in the
transmitter winding, thus setting up a certain voltage on resistor R2 connected in
parallel to the transmitter winding. The resistance value of the resistor is selected
so that when the transmitter is off-load, the output amplitude voltage of the trans-
mitter should be ensured within a range of 50 to 150 V. The shape of the transmitter
voltage pulse is the same as that of the discharge current and corresponds to a dam-
ped sine curve. The transmitter leads are connected to one contact point of the TEST
(КОНТРОЛЬ) el. connector and to the ignition unit casing.
When the power is applied to contacts 1 and 2 of the PWR SUPPLY (ПИТАНИЕ) el. connec-
tor X1, the circuit connected to lower HV output 23 (looking from the side of the HV
leads with the Ignition unit mounting lugs facing downwards) becomes activated, where-
as the test pulses are applied to contact 1 of the TEST (КОНТРОЛЬ) el. connector Ж3;
when the power is applied to contacts 3 and 4, the circuit connected to the upper HV
lead becomes activated and the test pulses are supplied to contact 2 of the TEST (КОН-
ТРОЛЬ) el. connector.

General
The purpose of the СП-26ПЗТ ignition plug is to ignite in conjunction with the ignition
unit and HV fittings the fuel-air mixture at engine starting on the ground and in flight.
Main Data
-Mass 0.070 kg
The ignition plug remains serviceable after exposure to decontaminating agents, except
for such chemicals as alkalis, acids and solvents.
Design
The ignition plug is of the one-piece, shielded design and it is provided with ceramic
insulation. The operational portion of the ignition plug includes central electrode
(1) (Ref. Fig. 1) and side electrode (5) with semiconducting element (4) sandwiched
between them. An electrical discharge occurs in a spark gap of ignition plug A across
the surface of the semiconducting element and it is shaped as an elongated flare due
to the existence of a guide passage in ignition plug body (3). The electrical contact
of the ignition plug with the contact unit is effected via contact rod (2) of the
central electrode.
Body (3) of the ignition plug is provided with the M16x1 thread intended for fitting
an elbow bend to the ignition plug and a flange for attachment of the ignition plug
to the engine.
The ignition plug is connected to the ignition unit by means of an HV shielded wire
having a copper conductor. The shielding of the HV wire incorporates a copper braid-
ing brazed/welded to the contact threaded sleeves.
To cool the operational end face of the ignition plug by air which is not discharged
into the combustion chamber, body (3) of the ignition plug is provided with two dia-
metrically opposite ports Б.
Operation
The HV pulsating voltage is fed from the capacitance ignition unit to the ignition
plug. This high voltage causes an electrical discharge to take place between the igni-
tion ping electrodes асross the surface of the semiconducting element. The semiconduc-
ting element ensures a decrease in the ignition plug spark gap breakdown voltage aad
its stabilisation in the course of operation.

General
The purpose of the pressurizing air valve is to supply air in the course of engine start-
ing into the main fuel manifold.
Description
The pressurizing air valve incorporates the following basic elements: cast aluminium bo-
dy (2) (Ref. Fig. 1), spool (4), barrel (5), spring (8), inlet filter (9), and non-re-
turn valve (11). The pressurizing air valve is shown is the Figure in the closed positi-
on.
Operation
When the engine is at a standstill, the pressurizing air valve is in the open position
due to the fact that spring (8) causes spool (4) to move to the extreme left position.
In the course of engine starting, the air is supplied from the air starter to connecti-
on (10), then it passes through air filter (9) and, pressing non-return valve (11) away
from the valve seat, flows via a clearance between spool (4) and barrel (5), and gets
into the main fuel manifold through connection (6). The fuel pressure of the primary
fuel manifold is delivered via fuel connection (1) to the left end face of spool (4).
As soon as the pressure builds up to a level of 5 to 6 kgf/cm2 , spool (4) overcomes
the force of spring (8), moves to the right, and cuts off the air flow to the main fuel
manifold.
On de-energization of the air starter, the air supply to connection (10) terminates and
non-return valve (11) gets closed.
When the engine is being brought to a standstill, the fuel pressure fed to fuel inlet
connection (1) abruptly drops and spool (4) moves to the left and connects the main fuel
manifold via connection (6), jet A, and connection (12) with the drains system. Non-re-
turn valve (11), being in the closed position, prevents the fuel from getting into the
air line connecting the pressurizing air valve with the air starter.
