INTRODUCTION The hydraulic power system provides pressure for actuation of several airplane components. It is composed of two fully independent systems (HYD 1 and HYD 2 systems) operating simultaneously and powered by:
-
three engine-driven pumps with a regulated pressure output of 3,000 psi (+/- 200 psi), one electrical stand-by pump.
Hydraulic system is a set and forget type. After initialization for flight (ST-BY PUMP set to AUTO) no crew action is required for the rest of the flight if no failure occurs.
SOURCES Each hydraulic system has its own hydraulic fluid reservoir located in the mechanic servicing compartment. Each reservoir is pressurized by its corresponding hydraulic system. The reservoirs are pressurized to avoid pump cavitation. HYD 1 RESERVOIR 2.38 USG (9 l) 1.58 USG (6 l) HYD 2 RESERVOIR
Main hydraulic power is provided by three engine-driven mechanical pumps. HYD 1 system is supplied by two pumps:
-
engine 2 hydraulic pump, electrical stand-by pump, automatically activated in case of HYD 2 engine-driven pump failure (fail-safe system).
EQUIPMENT LOCATION
Instrument panel
The hydraulic system components are mainly installed in the hydraulic racks in the mechanic servicing compartment. Except for very few items, the HYD 1 system components are located on the left side of the airplane, the HYD 2 system and stand-by components on the right side. External hydraulic cart connections are provided for ground checks and maintenance tests of each system.
SUB-SYSTEMS HYDRAULIC ENGINE DRIVEN PUMPS The three self-regulating, piston-type pumps are driven by the accessory gearbox of the corresponding engine. They automatically regulate the output pressure at 3,000 psi ( 200 psi). The pumps are not controlled from the cockpit. The pumps are lubricated by the hydraulic fluid. A shear section in the pump drive shaft protects the engine gearbox in case of pump seizure. STAND-BY ELECTRICAL PUMP In case of HYD 2 pump failure, a stand-by electrical pump (A1 bus) allows operation of components powered by the HYD 2 system. In AUTO mode, the stand-by pump starts automatically as soon as a pressure drop (pressure below 1,500 psi) is detected in the HYD 2 system: the stand-by pump cycles continuously between 1,500 and 2,150 psi and stops operating as long as pressure stays above 2,150 psi. The stand-by electrical pump may also be used, on ground only, to pressurize the HYD 1 system for maintenance checks. The mechanical selector that switches the pump between HYD 1 and HYD 2 systems is located in the mechanic servicing compartment (right side). CAUTION The stand-by pump selector must be set to IN FLIGHT position prior to flight.
NOTE The stand-by pump must be switched off in case of HYD 2 system leakage.
ACCUMULATORS Each system includes a hydraulic accumulator to dampen pressure surges in the system and provide instantaneously available reserve power. Each accumulator is fitted with a refiller port and a nitrogen pressure gage. The HYD 2 system includes two additional accumulators to provide reserve power for the parking brake system and the thrust reverser operation in case of HYD 2 system failure. NOTE After engine shutdown or hydraulic failure, hydraulic pressure in each system accumulator drops to zero. Check valves maintain the pressure in the parking brake and thrust reverser accumulators. Pressure holding valves keep the reservoirs pressurized.
DISTRIBUTION
HYD 1 SYSTEM HYD 1 system is pressurized by two self-regulating (constant pressure) hydraulic pumps driven by the No 1 and No 3 engine gearboxes (PUMP 1 and PUMP 3). Both pumps draw operating fluid from the No 1 hydraulic reservoir and feed the system at a rated pressure of 3,000 psi ( 200 psi). The output pressure of the pumps hydraulically charges the HYD 1 system accumulator and supplies pressure to: - pitch servoactuator (one barrel), - rudder servoactuator (one barrel), - aileron servoactuator (one barrel), - pitch feel unit, - normal slats (inboard and outboard), - landing gears and corresponding doors, - No 1 brake system, - nose wheel steering. HYD 2 SYSTEM HYD 2 system is pressurized by one self-regulating (constant pressure) hydraulic pump (same characteristics as No 1 and No 3 pumps) driven by the No 2 engine gearbox (PUMP 2). PUMP 2 draws operating fluid from the No 2 hydraulic reservoir and feeds the system at a rated pressure of 3,000 psi ( 200 psi). HYD 2 system can be pressurized by an automatic electrical pump (ST-BY PUMP) connected to A1 bus. The output pressure of the pump hydraulically charges the No 2 system accumulator and supplies pressure to : - pitch servoactuator (one barrel), - rudder servoactuator (one barrel), - aileron servoactuator (one barrel), - flaps, - airbrakes, - emergency slats (outboard only), - No 2 brake system, - parking brake (with one monitored pressure accumulator), - thrust reverser (with one pressure accumulator, not monitored).

Examples of equipment status In normal operation, symbols are green. If a failure occurs in a system, the symbols of equipment powered by this system become amber. NOTE As flight control actuators are connected to HYD 1 and HYD 2 circuits, the corresponding symbols are (see figure below): - green, in normal operating conditions, - amber, in case of total hydraulic power loss, - half green / half amber in case of loss of one system.
STATUS synoptic
DIRECT READING INDICATORS Fluid level indicator Each reservoir is equipped with a built-in fluid level indicator with two scales labeled PRESSURIZED and UNPRESSURIZED. Each scale includes two red ranges for low and excessive fluid quantity and one green range for optimum level at temperature between 40C and + 90C when the system has been unpressurized for several hours. They are located in the mechanic servicing compartment.
Accumulator nitrogen pressure gages Visual check of accumulator nitrogen pressure gages is not possible from the outside. It has to be done through the mechanic servicing compartment door, except for the gage of the parking brake accumulator, which is located at the root of the RH wing.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
RELIEF VALVES Reservoir overpressure is prevented by a relief valve. Entrapped air is automatically purged through a vent valve. When engines are shut down, reservoirs pressurization is maintained by an accumulator in the pressure valve.
