CECO Power Turbine Governor Flushing Procedure to Remove Suspected Inkrnal Contamination

nternal contamination in the governor can lead to an array of performance roblems: uncontrollable N2, sluggish response, high power lever torque, rratic operation, or uncompensated N2 droop. As a result, the unit is prenaturely removed and retul ned to the distributor for corrective action. In nany cases, investigations of prematurely removed governors revealed that ontamination may have been sufficient to affect performance. &ter reviewing the different operating environments and fuel handling techniues, the most practical approach to the problem is to flush the governor with lean, filtered calibrating fluid or engine fuel after overhaul or removal from torage. In the event of premature removal from the aircraft/engine for one f the aforementioned problems, operators may elect to flush the unit or reurn it to the distributor for corrective action. Thefollowing flushing procedure,

therefore,

is recommended at

Operator maintenance facilities or distributor facilities on all model MC-40 Power Turbine Governors, P/L 104100 or 104500, removed from service for suspected contamination or performance problems of uncontrollable N2, sluggish response, high power lever torque, erratic operations, or uncompensated N2 droop. Distributor facilities on all governors processed for overhaul or after removal from storage. Purging should also be accomplished prior to preset calibration. It is estimated that approximately be required to flush one unit. 0.4 man-hour will

Prepare the power turbine governor for flushing. port identification. 1.

Mount the governor on STD67180 Holding Fixture (or equivalent), secured to flushing stand (see Figure 2). Plug or cap all open ports and thoroughly wash all external surfaces with calibrating fluid or engine fuel. Blow dry with dry filtered compressed air. Remove the following pressure port plugs and fittings: BG, SS, AL, AG, PO, Bypass and Speed Set Access Port. Remove the Speed Sense Rotor Group using STD67229 Wrench and the SS restriction. NOTE: Do not remove O-rings from port plugs, fittings, and speed sense rotor group unless damaged.

3.

Connect the Flushing Stand fluid supply line to the Fuel Inlet Port (see Figure 1, sheet 1). NOTE: Calibrating fluid or engine fuel that is flushed through the governor shall not be recirculated or reused for flushing unless it is refiltered to 10 microns or better.

B.

Flush the governor as follows: CAUTION BE SURE THAT THE FUEL OUTLET AND BYPASS PORTS AREOPEN. COVERTHEGOVERNORWITHACLEAN PLASTIC BAG TO PROTECT AGAINST FLUID SPRAY. 1. Supply flushing fluid to the Governor Fuel Inlet as required to obtain a steady flow from the open pressure ports (approximately 100 psig at a flow rate of 325 phr).

Cycle the governor power lever through its travel range while purging through the AL port. Install AL pressure port plug. On early Model Governors only, remove AD pressure port plug and Response Lag Jet. Purge and cycle PC pressure ambient to 80 psia, if air supply is available. Install AD pressure port plug and Response Lag Jet. On later models, the AD pressure port and Response Lag Jet are eliminated. Purge and cycle PC pressure ambient to 80 psia, if air supply is available. Install AG pressure port plug. Remove the Fixed Orifice located through the Fuel Outlet. Purge md reinstall the Fixed Orifice. Cycle the governor power lever through its travel range and install the speed set access cover. Temporarily restrict the Fuel Outlet and Bypass ports. Install the PO pressure port plug. Purge through the Bypass and Fuel Outlet Ports. NOTE: Whenever possible, position the governor and holding fixture in such a way as to have purging fluid directed to test stand sink.
