Servicing of the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) after Oil Chemical Contamination

TASK 24-21-00-612-044-A
Servicing of the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) after Oil Chemical Contamination

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.

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.

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: USE ONLY NEW CANS OF OIL WHEN YOU FILL THE IDG WITH OIL OR ADD OIL TO THE IDG. THE CONTAMINATION IN OIL THAT STAYS IN OPEN CANS CAN CAUSE FAST DETERIORATION OF THE OIL AND WILL DECREASE THE LIFE OF 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT DO THE SERVICING OF A DISCONNECTED IDG. CONTINUED OPERATION OF A DEFECTIVE IDG CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.

CAUTION: DO NOT LET ENGINE OIL FALL ON THE ENGINE. UNWANTED OIL MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. THE OIL CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE PROTECTION AND TO SOME PARTS.

NOTE: Airbus recommends that you do not do the servicing for more than one IDG at a time.

4. Procedure
Subtask 24-21-00-864-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Depressurization of the IDG Case
(1) Let the IDG temperature decreases to 120 DEG.F (49 DEG.C) or less before you drain the oil.

WARNING: POINT THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HOSE INTO A CONTAINER WHEN YOU CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF-COUPLING. THIS WILL PREVENT BURNS FROM THE HOT OIL SPRAY. HOT OIL CAN CAUSE BURNS TO EYES AND SKIN.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE DEVICES OTHER THAN THE APPROVED OVERFLOW DRAIN-HOSE FITTING. HARD METAL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWDRIVERS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF-COUPLING SEAT.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT THE HOSE OF THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF- COUPLING CORRECTLY. THIS HOSE LETS THE OIL IN THE IDG DRAIN TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IF THERE IS TOO MUCH OIL IN THE IDG THE IDG WILL BECOME TOO HOT.

(2) Put the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL) (9) below the IDG (7).
(3) Remove the dust cap (3) from the overflow drain half-coupling (5).
(4) Put the end of the HOSE - DRAIN (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL in the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL) (9).
(5) Do this step to depressurize the IDG case:
(a) Connect the overflow drain hose (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the overflow drain half-coupling (5).

NOTE: Some oil can come out of the overflow drain hose (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL when you connect it.

B. Draining of the IDG Oil

WARNING: USE PROTECTIVE GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL LOCKWIRE. EACH TIME YOU CUT LOCKWIRE, REMOVE AND DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. LOOSE LOCKWIRE CAN CUT YOU OR MAKE YOU BLIND, AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.

(1) Cut and discard the lockwire from the case drain plug (1).

NOTE: Approximately 5.72 l (1.5111 USgal) of oil will flow into the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL).

(2) Remove the case drain plug (1).
(3) Remove and discard the O-ring (2).
(4) Drain the oil.
(5) Remove the dust cap (4) from the pressure fill half-coupling (6).
(6) Connect the pressure fill hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the pressure fill half-coupling (6).
(7) Use the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to fill the IDG (7) with new Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine - - (Material No.03ABA1) and drain the used oil:
(a) Make sure that the filling pressure is not more than 2.41 bar (34.95 psi).
(8) Continue to fill the IDG (7) with Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine - - (Material No.03ABA1) until 1.85 l (0.49 USgal) of oil flows out of the case drain.
(9) Stop the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL.
(10) Let the oil drain from the case drain until the flow of oil decreases to drops.
(11) Disconnect the pressure fill hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL from the pressure fill half-coupling (6).
(12) Install the dust cap (4) on the pressure fill half-coupling (6).

(2) Remove and discard the IDG oil charge-filter-element (Ref. AMM TASK 24-21-51-000-011) and install the filter cover with a new O-ring (Ref. AMM TASK 24-21-51-400-011).

Subtask 24-21-00-612-106-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

CAUTION: USE ONLY APPROVED TYPES/BRANDS OF LUBRICANTS. DO NOT MIX TYPES//BRANDS OF LUBRICANTS.

D. Flushing of the IDG

NOTE: Approximately 3.8 l (1.00 USgal) of oil will flow in the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL).

NOTE: This procedure gives a list of approved oil-brand names for the IDG (Ref. AMM D/O 20-34-00-00).

(1) Remove the dust cap (4) from the pressure fill half-coupling (6).
(2) Connect the pressure fill hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the pressure fill half-coupling (6).
(a) Use a pump to fill the IDG (7) with filtered Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine - - (Material No.03ABA1) until:

The color of the oil that flows from the case drain is the same as the color of the oil that you put in the IDG (7), or
You collect approximately 3.8 l (1.00 USgal) of oil from the case drain.
