AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM

Fuel system is designed for fuel tankage and supply it to engines and APU at all operation modes of aircraft.

Fuel system contains:

- fuel tanks; - fuel usage system;
- tank drain system; - controls and monitoring.
- single point fueling system;  

 

Fuel system is powered from ground or airborne sources of D.C. power supply, voltage 27 V.

Fuel is filled in two wing integral fuel tanks, one per each half-wing. Each tank is divided with ribs Nos. 13 and 15 into three sections: alternate, pump and wingtip part of fuel consumed tank pump section together with wingtip - make the fuel consumed tank. Each engine is supplies with fuel from tank of its wing. Fire shut-off valves are installed in engine supply lines. The pipelines of both engines are connected by means of fuel cross-feed line with valve of cross-feed prior fire shut-off valves. It allows, if necessary, to supply fuel from tank of one engine to another one or to supply two engines from one while opening the cross-feed valve. By three non-return valves, being between tanks and installed in lower parts of ribs No. 3 and 15 allow to flow fuel to pump section from two adjacent with itm.

Drainage tanks system. Drainage of each tank is provided by its autonomous system of drainage. The outward venting of tank sections is ensured by drainage section, located in detachable part of wing.

Air intake is installed in drainage section. To protect the tank from damage at closed air intake, the drainage section is vent through vacuum valve and over pressure valve. The drainage section is connected to alternate fuel tank with pipeline and provides its drainage in any position of aircraft. Drainage of pump section is made through hole in upper part of rib No. 15 as well as through non-return valve being between tanks and is installed in three in lower part of ribs No. 13 and 15.

Fuel, getting into the drainage section at changes of aircraft altitude, drains via the pipeline in alternate fuel tank.

 

 

FUEL GAUGING SYSTEM

Fuel gauging system, installed on aircraft provides the execution of the following functions:

- constant measurement and calculation of fuel mass in each tank; - fuel temperature information issue;
- automatic closing of filling valves at tanks fueling; - issue of information on fails in channels of fuel gauging, temperature measurement and data about pumps failures;
- supply of data concerning fuel mass in tanks to digital indicators of control panels of fuel use and fueling, emergency recorder and transponder;

- manual control of all shut-off valves and electrically operated pump.

- supply of signal concerning reserve of fuel to emergency signaling devices and in recorder  BUR-92A;
