LOW OIL PRESSURE AND HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The low oil pressure and high oil-temperature warning-system together with the ECB 59KD monitor the APU oil pressure and the oil temperature. The system protects the APU against low oil pressure and high oil temperature.
When the ECB 59KD receives the low oil pressure or a high oil-temperature signal, it starts the APU automatic shutdown-sequence (Ref. AMM D/O 49-61-00-00).

3. System Description
A. Low Oil Pressure and High Oil Temperature Warning
The low oil pressure and high oil-temperature warning-system comprises of:
  • a Low Oil-Pressure Switch (LOP SW),
  • an Oil Temperature Sensor.
The LOP SW is installed on the gearbox next to the fill port. The Oil Temperature Sensor is installed on the lower side of the gearbox next to the magnetic plug. They measure the oil-pressure and -temperature. If the temperature is too high or the oil pressure is too low the sensor or the switch transmits a signal to the ECB and starts the automatic APU shutdown sequence.

5. Operation/Control and Indicating
The Oil Temperature Sensor measures the temperature of the oil in the gearbox. The ECB 59KD receives the temperature signal and monitors the APU oil temperature. It starts the APU automatic shutdown sequence if the oil temperature is more than the limit (Ref. AMM D/O 49-61-00-00).
The LOP SW monitors the pressure downstream of the oil pressure filter. It transmits a low oil-pressure signal to the ECB 59KD when the oil pressure decreases below the limit (Ref. AMM D/O 49-61-00-00). The ECB 59KD then starts the APU automatic shutdown sequence.
