o man I remember the days on the flight line when I was in the Airforce having to listen to those screeching loud APU's 8-12 hrs a day, Yes I had (double) hearing protection. Its louder than the turbofan engine is (at idle). We used the APU to generate electrical & hydraulic pressure to load the gun system with ammo while at the same time removing the spent shell casings. There was a machine to connect to externally for electricity and hydraulics, it was taught to us in practice. But in real world use, it was never used, well at least not at the base I was at.

Heading been a ramp agent for a certain amount of time for a regional carrier, who used CRJ200's that had the APU exhaust at ground level, you had to walk quickly past all the heat if you were walking back there. (However in frigid temps it was a nice heat source outdoors lol)

Is the alternator permanently geared in or does it have an electric clutch to engage it once the APU gets up to speed? Presumably the APU drives a hydraulic pump as well. Does that have a clutch? I'm just wondering if the starter motor has to spin all that stuff or is all of that disengaged during starting?

Thanks. Question: Does the pawl clutch run the ratchets continuously after starting or is there some sort of disengagement mechanism once the APU is up to speed? Seems that there would be a lot of wear otherwise.
@AircraftScience
@AircraftScience 4 місяці тому
The clutch disengages once the motor stops at 50% RPM. As the engine speed increases, the pawls move outward against their spring tension due to centrifugal force. This eliminates contact and thereby reduces wear.

And apu with an air starter as an option ? That’s a wrong stament. The igniters work before fuel is added. Fuel nozzles are mostly duplex. Meaning they have two stage function for starting and normal operations, you can’t dump all fuel less the 40 %.

Get a truck mechanic to sit in class with paper notes version of this And similar to this, gas-turbine notes And also turbo-fan notes and turbo-prop notes and turbo-shaft notes Tell him to treat 28vDC as 24v truck battery. Impeller start as air-brakes of truck. Cascading battery to air tank to brakes to impeller to battery then battery and impeller the thingy. The thingy should impeller flow lub and fuel by crank and the battery should blow the bloody thing up. Redraw something over the weekend by combining 2 shafts like a cockster turboshaft into a 2 shaft turbo prop and use air around duct-in-duct to cool itself, vanes support. 2 shaft can exhaust thrust straight and rotor big. See what happens.

Double shaft designs of turbo prop and turbo shaft allows intake to be almost anywhere and angle, same for exhaust and resultant thrust and also shaft. 3 items put almost anywhere and almost any angle. Terminology of variable geometry is expensive. Same for variable pitch and variable thrust vector (TVC - thrust vector control) Life hack = anti name-dropping, anti brand-dropping, anti deep-meaning, anti fancy wording, anti university terminology...
