Generally, when maxium APU shaft output power is being used in conjuction with pneumatic power | Pneumatic loading will be automatically modulated to maintain a safe EGT |
an AOU is usually rotate during start by | an electric starter |
usually, most of the load placed on an apu occurs when | the bleed air valve is opened |
when in operation, the speed of an APU | remains at or near rated speed regardless of the load conditions |
fuel scheduling during APU start and under varying pneumatic bleed and electrical load is maintained | automatically by the APU fuel contol sys. |
on APU's equipped with a free turbine and load compressor, the primary function of the load compressor is to | provide bleed air for aircraft pneumatic sys. |
the function of an APU air inlet plenum is to | stabilice the pressure of the air before it enters the compressor |
frequently, an aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) generator | is identical to the engine-driven generators |
when necessary, APU engine cooling before shutdown may be accomplished by | clossing the bleed air valve |
fuel is normally supplied to an APU from the | Airplane's main fuel tank |
