Visual Inspection of the IDG for Oil Leakage Engine Static and Check of the Electrical Circuits


TASK 24-21-00-210-047-A-01
Visual Inspection of the IDG for Oil Leakage Engine Static and Check of the Electrical Circuits


WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.
WARNING: WEAR GOGGLES, INSULATED GLOVES AND OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHES. HOT OIL CAN BURN YOUR EYES AND SKIN. IF OIL TOUCHES YOUR EYES OR SKIN, GET MEDICAL AID.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE IDG:
  • IF IT CONTAINS TOO MUCH OIL
  • IF IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ENOUGH OIL
IF YOU DO, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE IDG.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS THAT CONTAIN CHLORINE TO CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT (PUMP, HOSES, TANK AND FUNNEL) USED TO FILL THE IDG WITH OIL. CHLORINE CONTAMINATION OF THE OIL CAN CAUSE FAST DETERIORATION OF THE OIL AND WILL DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE IDG.
1. Reason for the Job
To make sure that the IDG oil system is serviceable and to do a check for leakage, staining or wetting.
To make sure that the wiring harnesses are in correct condition.

   (1) On the center pedestal, on the ENG panel 115VU:
     (a) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) in position to tell persons not to start the engine.
   (2) Make sure that the engine 1(2) shutdown occurred not less than 5 minutes before you do this procedure.
   (3) On the overhead maintenance panel 50VU:
     (a) Make sure that the ON legend of the ENG/FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch is off.
     (b) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) in position to tell persons not to energize the FADEC 1(2).

A. Oil Leak Test
   (1) On the tool 753970A CSD IDG SYSTEM LEAK TESTER, turn the drain valve to the off position.
   (2) Set the shut-off valve to OFF and close the regulator valve to prevent pressure release to the IDG fitting.
   (3) Remove the dust cap from the pressure fill half-coupling.
   (4) Connect one end of the pressure fill hose of the tool to the pressure fill half-coupling (pressure fill port) of the IDG.
   (5) Connect the other end of the tool 753970A CSD IDG SYSTEM LEAK TESTER to an AIR SOURCE 2 BAR (30 PSI) - REGULATED, FILTERED, DRY.
   (6) Turn the shut-off valve to ON and adjust the regulator valve to a pressure of 1.72 bar (25 psi) on the system pressure gauge.
   (7) Turn the supply valve to OFF to keep the air in the system.
NOTE: Pressure will become stable in the system, with no leak. When the IDG case is vented:
  • The pressure will decrease to a lightly lower value because of the vent valve setting.
  • The pressure will stay at this setting.
   (8) Monitor the system pressure for five minutes for confirmation of the leak.
   (9) Do a visual inspection of these components in case of confirmed leak(s):
NOTE: There can be different signs of possible leakage:
  • Droplets of oil
  • Wet areas around connections, oil stripes on tubes
  • Stains or discoloration which can occur when oil or grease is in contact with very hot surfaces.
     (a) IDG fittings for leakage:
  • Pressure fill port
  • Overflow drain port
  • Oil-in and oil-out ports (cooling circuit interface with the IDG)
  • Case drain.
If you find an oil leak at:
     (b) External oil circuit (oil lines), for leakage and correct condition:
       1 Tubing
  • No cracks are permitted on tubes, hoses and tube coupling nuts.
  • There is no limit for the number of nicks and scratches if the depth is not more than 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) (after removal of the high metal).
  • Two dents for each tube are permitted if they are of a smooth contour up to 1.27 mm (0.0500 in.) depth.
You must replace all tubes or hoses that are not in these limits.
       2 Attachment
  • Replace broken or cracked brackets.
  • Replace worn clamps.
  • Reinstall missing nuts and bolts.
  • Tighten loose nuts and bolts.
     (c) IDG oil cooler for leakage:
   (10) If you find components wet with oil, make sure that you find and correct all the causes.
If necessary, fill the oil tank (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-24-612-041).
   (11) If the visual check does not locate the leak source, do a check of the system for leaks. To do this, use soap suds or equivalent leak detector fluid:
  • Put an appropriate container below the drain valve and open the valve to release the pressure.
  • Make the necessary corrections and restore the system to an operational configuration.
  • Do the check again to make sure that the leak was corrected.
NOTE: If oil collects in the coalescing filter, use the drain valve a the bottom of the filter housing to drain the oil.
NOTE: If you use an AIR SOURCE 2 BAR (30 PSI) - REGULATED, FILTERED, DRY, it is necessary to install a plug on the port for the compressed air source.
