Juan Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hello ! I couldn't find this one: during engines check, Torque in one engine shows aprox 4000 less than others, TIT normal, RPM normal and Flujometer less than normal. What is the failure? I'm trying to pass this test, any help? thx, Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You can figure this out... What happens when you turn on your wing anti ice? What happens if you leave a engine bleed air regulator valve in override (or one engine bleed air shutoff valve open with all others closed?

Juan Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yes! that´s good but what about flujometer, why should it decrease? I can understand Tq because of the bleed air... Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Think TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvr99 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 less air requires less fuel. Remember your ideal air fuel ratio for combustion = 15:1 Sounds like the speed sensing valve failed, opened 5th & 10th stage bleed valves ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Less air means higher TIT, Higher TIT means a reduction in fuel to maintain TIT, reduction of fuel means lower fuel flow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenten Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 For low torque, accompanied by low fuel flow at normal TIT the probable cause can be: 1- Compressor erosion, dirty and/or FOD. 2- Compressor 5th and 10th stage bleed valve open above 94%. 3- Bleed air leaks. (ref. “Malfunction Analysis†page 70). Booklet Issued by “R-R†1998 Hercules Operations, Safety Briefing and presentation. “Aside of asking†the behaviour of the engine below x-over and above x-over with TD NULL. I may add beside the above the following: 1- Malfunction of engine anti-icing air valve can be one of the causes, but not the only cause (due to the higher drop on the torque “4,000â€) 2- There are some cases caused by (harness malfunction) in which imposing higher than actual temperature signal to both (TD Amp. & Indicator) which also may leads to the same condition.(can be detected by TD null operation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nc97 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Somebody help me out, what exactly is a flujometer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I think perhaps Juan means flukmeter, what we used to know as a PSM-6. Keep in mind he is posting in his second language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsoto Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I think perhaps Juan means flukmeter, what we used to know as a PSM-6. Keep in mind he is posting in his second language. I think he is referring to the Fuel Flow indicator (Torque, TIT, RPM & F/F). Some times communicating in a second language can be difficult for us to understand:-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nc97 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 At first thought, I thought he was a refering to the Frequency Meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you google Flujometer it talks about oil and gas flow so easy crossover to fuel flow meter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Geez, I learned a new word today. My apologies to Juan, turns out he is better at his second language that I am at my first.:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I hated to "beat around the bush" but it sounded like he was taking a test..... Nice car Hope its yours!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes, I meant Fuel Flow indicator, sorry for that. Thanks for your answers, were very very helpful ! I'm Chancha's Capt now ! Juan Chancha=C-130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc 308 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do a flag test on your engine. to do this put a peice of rag on a stick and open the clam shell doors, trhen have your engine running at HSGI and have a person stick it next to the ports at the fire wall. if the flag moves you could have a puck stuck open above 94% RPM.

tenten Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Somebody help me out, what exactly is a flujometer? Seems no body reads our technical dictionary!! Floodometer,flujometer,and flowmeter, each is a compound name of instrument used to measure fluid per unit of time. When fluid passing through is more than suppose to be we call it floodometer. When less than suppose to be we call it flujometer. And when as suppose to be we call it flow-meter. Ref. Captain’s Technical Dictionary.
