Applicability

All

Common Information

TASK 71-00-00-700-012-B00 Test No. 12 - Functional Test, Testing-012

General

CAUTION

DO NOT REMOVE THE PLUGS FROM THE ACC VALVE. ENGINE OPERATION WITH THE PLUGS REMOVED CAN CAUSE TOO MUCH RUB BETWEEN THE HPT BLADES AND THE AIRSEAL THIS WILL CAUSE A DECREASE IN ENGINE PERFORMANCE BEFORE THE USUAL TIME.

For general information refer to Engine Safety Precautions and Engine Operation Limits, Guidelines, and Special Procedures. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-050-B00 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002) and TASK 71-00-00-700-051-B00 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002).

Use this test to get the performance data on an in-service engine when a module/section is removed and installed without overhaul, rework, repair or replacement.

If you did not operate the engine before, do Test No.3, the Idle Leak Check before you do this test. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-003 (TESTING-003).

You can do other tests which are not done in the functional test, during engine operation before this test.

The applicable test data must be corrected by the specified test cell correction (before you use the curves given in the test procedure).

Refer to TEST No.20 for the installation of the seal drain bottles needed for this test.

Definitions

The definition given below will be used in this procedure

EPR

The engine pressure ratio from the Electronic Engine Control instrumentation system with the data entry plug.

Operation Procedures - General

Do all the tests on the engine with a data entry plug in the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) with the correct class. For engines tested with software version SCN22 and above use PW PN 2A4378. For engines tested with earlier versions of the software, use part number PW PN 2A3106.

There is logic in the EEC for operation of the engine in one of two modes.

EPR - The primary control mode.

N1 - An alternative mode which lets you have faults in the EPR mode.

NOTE

Operate in the EPR mode to do this performance test unless specified differently.

Do all intentional channel failures/resets at idle power.

Make sure that all instrumentation was calibrated by the necessary procedures given in Electronic Engine Control (EEC) and Test Cell Interface Requirements. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-063-B00 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002).

Do a comparison of the engine flowmeter to the test facility flowmeters. The engine mass fuel flowmeter must be compared to the test facility flowmeters for all steady-state points of three minute stabilization or more, above APPROACH IDLE. The engine flowmeter must agree with the facility flowmeters within plus or minus 150 pph. The engine flowmeter must be repaired if it is not within these limits.

NOTE

The requirement to compare the engine flowmeter to the test facility flowmeter does NOT apply to those engines tested to the V2533-A5 rating for Band A only.

2. Prepare and start the engine by the Normal Engine Automatic Start Procedure or the Normal Engine Manual Start Procedure. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-053-B01 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002) or TASK 71-00-00-700-053-B02 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002).
3. Let the engine become stable at MIN IDLE for three minutes.
4. Do not continue to operate the engine if any indications are unusual.
5. Make a record of the EEC status. Refer to the Fault Isolation V2500-A0-71-00-0000-01A-009A-B (FAULT ISOLATION-000) for more information on faults.

Differences that are greater than this level should be investigated to be sure that there are no indication problems. If after you replace individual EGT probes and wiring harness to the probes, the EGT level continues to be greater than 10 deg F (5.6 deg C) between channels A and B, as determined by engine test, then you can accept the engine data.
3. Refer to Figure, Figure and Figure for the EEC output status messages.
4. 1. Be prepared to make a record of the data at all the test points when the engine is stable (before you move the thrust lever to the subsequent point).
  2. Make sure that at all thrust positions, the delta main oil pressure is in the limits given. Refer to Figure and Figure.
  3. Make sure at all power conditions that the No. 4 bearing compartment scavenge pressure is not more than the limits that follow:
    Maximum Allowable Transient Limit:
    All testing conditions: 205 psig (1413.4 kPa)
    Maximum Allowable Steady-State Limit (3 Minutes Stabilization Or More):
    Idle and Approach Idle: 9 psig (62.1 kPa)
    Table 2.
    Band D:
    17 psig (117.2 kPa)

    Minimum: 55 psig (379.2 kPa)
    Maximum: 145 psig (999.7 kPa)
    If the scavenge pressure limit is exceeded at any time, you must shut down the engine as given in TASK 71-00-00-700-054-A00 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-001).
    Do the checks that follow if the P4SCAV limit is exceeded:
    Inspect the gasket for leaks at the interface between the No. 4 bearing compartment external scavenge elbow and internal scavenge line. (This potential cause more likely will increase P4SCAV in between 130 to 160 psig (896.3 to 1103.2 kPa)).
    Disconnect the No. 4 bearing compartment external scavenge elbow.
    Check and record signs of leaks from the gasket.
    Replace the gasket. Refer to TASK 72-42-00-430-001 (ASSEMBLY).
    Do the Performance Test again to check for correct No. 4 bearing compartment scavenge pressure. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-010-B00(TESTING-010, CONFIG-002).
    If the scavenge pressure is still not normal, do a No. 4 Bearing Compartment Vacuum Check. Refer to TASK 72-00-43-420-001 (INSTALLATION)
    If the vacuum check is more than 17 pph, disassemble, inspect and reassemble No. 4 Bearing compartment.
    If the vacuum check is less than 17 pph, contact IAE Technical Services for instructions.
  4. Do the Normal Engine Automatic Start Procedure or the Normal Engine Manual Start Procedure. Refer to TASK 71-00-00-700-053-B01 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002) and TASK 71-00-00-700-053-B02 (TESTING-000, CONFIG-002).
  5. Make a record of the data after five minutes at MIN IDLE.
  6. Make sure that there are no faults in the EEC in Channel A and Channel B.
  7. Refer to Test No.8 (Vibration Survey) or Testing-000 (Engine operating limits).
  8. Make a selection of APPROACH IDLE and operate at APPROACH IDLE for 3 minutes. Refer to Figure to set APPROACH IDLE.
  9. Make sure that the EEC operates in the EPR mode.
  10. Do a snap acceleration (as quickly as the thrust lever will move) from APPROACH IDLE to Band A. Refer to Figure.
    Make a record of the time to go from the start of the thrust lever movement to 90 percent of the lower line of Band A thrust. Refer to Figure.
    The acceleration time cannot be more than 6.6 seconds or less than 5.3 seconds for the V2533-A5 model and not more than 6.2 seconds or less than 4.9 seconds for the V2530-A5 model.
    Let the engine become stable for one minute before you continue.
  11. Do a snap deceleration (as quickly as the thrust lever will move) from Band A to MIN IDLE. Refer to Figure.
    Make a record of the time from the start of the thrust lever movement to a corrected thrust of 8166 plus or minus 30 lbs.
    The deceleration time cannot be more than seven seconds.
    NOTE
    During subsequent acceleration and deceleration (Step thru Step), check and record the position of the No. 4 bearing scavenge valve for the correct operation. Refer to Figure.
  12. Slowly increase the engine speed and set the thrust of Band A. Refer to Figure.
    Operate the engine for five minutes with the thrust lever set in one position. Make a record of the data.
    If the minimum required corrected take-off thrust or EPR for Band A is not shown at full TLA and PAMB is more than 14.696 PSIA, the correction method that follows must be used:
    FNTR2 (Modified Band A) = (FNTR2 Band A)/(PAMB/14.696), where FNTR2 is obtained from Figure.
    If you do not get the minimum required take-off thrust (after you apply the correction if necessary), stop the test and tell the test engineer.
  13. Set the thrust of Band B. Refer to Figure.
    Operate the engine for three minutes with the thrust lever set in one position.
    Make a record of the data.
