 SECTION 5
 AUXILIARY POWER UNIT (APU)
 1. GENERAL
 Airborne auxiliary power is supplied by a Garrett GTCP-36-100 (E) Auxiliary
 power unit (APU) which supplies pneumatic and shaft power for essential
 aircraft services independent of ground facilities. The unit is cleared for
 in-flight start up to 20,000 feet, and is fully operational from sea level to
 30,000 feet.
 Clean compressed air produced by the APU is used for cabin and flight
 compartment air conditioning on the ground, and ground and in-flight start of
 engines. The shaft power is used to drive an electrical generator for supply
 of ground electrical power and in-flight standby conditions.
 The APU is mounted on a support skid assembly within a banadized aluminum
 enclosure in the rear fuselage behind the rear pressure bulkhead. Access is
 through the rear fuselage equipment bay door. The APU is self-contained and
 requires only a source of fuel and dc electrical power.
 Under normal operating conditions, fuel is provided under pressure from a
 canister type pump mounted in the right main tank. Shrouded fuel lines pass
 the fuel, through an APU fuel selector valve mounted between the wing and the
 fuselage, to the APU fuel control unit. The APU fuel selector valve is
 normally controlled by a START/STOP switch/light on the APU control panel, if
 the PWR-FUEL ON/OFF switch/light is on. The valve will close automatically
 to shut off fuel to the APU whenever the APU fire extinguishing system is
 activated.
 Under negative G conditions, to prevent an abnormal APU shutdown, fuel is
 automatically supplied to the APU from the left main engine fuel supply. A
 tap off in the left main engine fuel supply tube in the left pylon supplies
 fuel, through a shutoff valve and check valve assembly, to a bulkhead
 connector on the APU enclosure left wall. From the bulkhead connector, a
 fuel tube connects with the main fuel inlet tube to the APU fuel control
 unit.
 Electrical power for starting the APU is provided by the aircraft internal
 battery or by an external dc power supply.
 An inlet duct located on the top rear fuselage provides entry for APU inlet
 air. Ducting channels the inlet air through the enclosure roof to the APU
 air inlet. APU exhaust gases are vented from the APU exhaust nozzle through
 the enclosure side wall and, via ducting, to the APU exhaust outlet duct on
 the right side rear fuselage.
 On aircraft 5041 and 5146,
 Ventilation air for the APU enclosure is drawn from outside ambient air
 through an APU enclosure vent duct, mounted on the left side of the aircraft.
 An APU CONTROL panel, located on the flight compartment overhead panel,
 contains essential indicators and control switch/1iqhts. An APU FAULT panel.
 located behind an access door on the left side rear fuselage, contains fault
 flag indicators, a fault flag indicator IND RESET button and a remote APU
 STOP button.

 APU CONTROL (Figure 1)
 An electronic control unit (ECU) is mounted on the APU support beam on the
 left of the APU enclosure. The ECU monitors engine speed, exhaust gas
 temperature, oil pressure and temperature and overcurrent conditions during
 APU operation. Signals from sensors on the APU are relayed through the ECU
 to the appropriate indicators on the APU CONTROL and APU FAULT panels. The
 ECU also shuts down the APU under certain fault conditions (refer to
 paragraph 4.).
 Fire protection is from a single Firex bottle mounted on the fuselage
 structure outside the APU enclosure. Indication and control is from the
 flight compartment (refer to SECTION 9, FIRE PROTECTION).
 START SYSTEM (Figures 1 and 2)
 28-volt dc power from the battery bus is required to start the APU and is
 available from the battery alone, an external dc power source or whenever one
 of the engine driven generators is on line. During start, 28-volt dc power
 is also supplied by the APU auxiliary battery to the ECU. The auxiliary
 power prevents automatic start shutdown that would otherwise occur during
 cold weather starts if the ECU detected a large voltage drop on the battery
 bus.
 On aircraft 5001 to 5134,
 cold weather starting of the APU is improved by the addition of an auxiliary
 battery and by allowing the APU firewall shut-off valve to open when the APU
 fuel pump is selected on. A panel is added to control the auxiliary battery
 charger.
 On aircraft 5135 and subsequent and aircraft incorporating Canadair Service
 Bulletin 601-0418,
 the electronic control unit for the APU receives a source of voltage from the
 IRS battery No. 2 for improved cold weather starting.
 The start cycle is initiated by pressing in the PWR-FUEL ON/OFF switch/light,
 followed by the START/STOP switch/light on the APU control panel. The
 PWR-FUEL ON/OFF switch/light energizes the APU fuel pump, completes an
 electrical power supply circuit to the START/STOP switch/light, and opens the
 engine-mounted fuel shut-off valve. When the START/STOP switch/light is
 pressed in, the APU starter motor is energized and the STARTER legend on the
 switch/light comes on. At 10% rpm, the ignition system is energized. At
 60% rpm, the STARTER light goes out, indicating that the starter has
 disengaged. At 95% rpm, ignition is de-energized and a green APU RDY light
 on the START/STOP switch/light comes on. The engine accelerates to 100% rpm.
 Normally, the engine accelerates to running rpm in not more than 60 seconds.
 SHUTDOWN (Figures 1 and 3)
 Normal shutdown of the APU is accomplished by removing all loads from the
 unit, thpn prpssing nut thp START/STOP switrh/1ight on thp APU CONTROL panel .
 When the APU has completely stopped, pressing out the PWR-FUEL ON/OFF
 switch/light de-energizes the APU fuel pump and disconnects the electrical
 power supply circuit to the START/STOP switch/light.

 OPERATING MANUAL
 PSP 601A-6
 Remote APU shutdown is accomplished by pressing the APU STOP pushbutton on
 the external APU FAULT panel- After a remote shutdown, the PWR-FUEL ON/OFF
 switch/light and the START/STOP switch/light must be pressed out to reset the
 APU starting system.
 The APU electronic control unit shuts down the APU automatically for any of
 the following reasons:
 APU overspeed
 Overcurrent
 High exhaust gas temperature
 Low oil pressure
 High oil temperature
 Generator adapter low oil pressure
 Generator adapter high oil temperature
 White triangle flag indicators on the APU FAULT panel show the fault
 responsible for the automatic shutdown.
 5. BLEED AIR SYSTEM
 The APU supplies compressed air to the 10th stage bleed air manifold and
 shaft horse power to drive the APU generator, which supplies the aircraft
 electrical systems*
 The BLEED AIR switch/light controls two valves: a surge valve, which
 prevents compressor surge by bleeding off air i f there is excessive pressure,
 and a load control valve, which opens to deliver the bleed air to the 10th
 stage bleed air manifold.
 After the EGT and rpm have stabilized and the green APU RDY light comes on,
 bleed air may be selected by pressing in the BLEED AIR switch/light. The
 surge valve then closes and the load control valve opens.
 When bleed air is no longer required, the system is shutdown by pressing out
 the BLEED AIR switch/light.
 6. OIL SYSTEM
 The APU engine oil system provides pressure oil and splash lubrication for
 all drive gears and shaft bearings in the APU engine• If low oil pressure
 occurs during APU operation, a low oil pressure switch, located in the engine
 gearcase, transmits a signal and illuminates the LO PRESS light on the APU
 CONTROL panel- Similarly, a high temperature switch, located near the oil
 pressure switch, transmits a signal to illuminate the HI TEMP light. The APU
 generator adapter has a self-contained oil system for lubrication and
 cooling. Adapter oil LO PRESS and HI TEMP warning lights are also provided.
