The return fluid from the consumers flows back to the system reservoir through a return filter
manifold, which has:
- a filter
ssure indicator with a switch
- a differential pressure
- a through-pass
pass valve, which is used in case of a clogged return filter
- a check valve
- an anti-cavitation valve. The volume
v lume of the fluid drawn from the system reservoir differs from
the volume that goes back
ba when a piston with different surface areas is operated. The anti-
anti
cavitation valve is to compensate for the difference in fluid volumes.
The fluid, used for lubrication and cooling of the engine pumps, flows to the return system
through case drain lines. Check valves in these lines prevent the fluid from the system reservoir
to drain overboard when a case drain line is damaged.

Hydraulic System
The display on the control panel shows the system pressure when the rotary selector is in the
PRESS (PSI) position.
HYDRAULIC Panel
Normal operation
When the cylinder barrel starts to turn, the hydraulic fluid is
i moved from the inlet to the outlet
port and the outlet pressure increases quickly. The outlet pressure moves a pressure
compensator spool against the force of a spring (3000 psi) and pushes a stroking piston
against the force of a springloaded rate piston
piston through the open pressure compensator spool
and off-loader spool.
As a result, the camplate moves to a smaller angle and less fluid moves now to the outlet port.
When the outlet pressure is 3000 psi, the camplate is in the no-flow-position.
position.
When a consumer er is operated, the outlet pressure decreases lightly and the pressure
compensator spool moves to a more closed position. As a result the pressure on the stroking
piston decreases and the rate piston moves the camplate to a larger angle such that fluid
moves from the inlet to the outlet port; the pressure increases.
When the flow demand increases further, the stroking piston becomes connected to the return
system. The pump operates now at its maximum capacity (full flow).
When the flow demand decreases,
decrease the pressure increases. This causes the spring of the
pressure compensator spool to get compressed and the outlet pressure move the stroking
piston and therefore the camplate to a smaller angle. This goes on until the outlet pressure is
3000 psi.
Pump Operation #1
Pump off-loading
When the L or R ENG PUMP pushswitch on the control panel is pushed to OFF, the related off-
loader solenoid energizes. The pump outlet pressure now controls the stroking piston through
the open off-loader
loader valve and off-loader
oader spool, while the pressure compensator spool is
isolated. This configuration makes sure that the pump outlet pressure becomes 500 psi, which
is necessary for pump cooling and lubrication.
If the pressure decreases below 500 psi, the off-loader spool moves to a more closed position
and the pressure for the stroking piston decreases. The rate piston now moves the camplate to
a larger angle to increase the pump outlet pressure to 500 psi.
Through the open off-loader
loader valve, the 500-psi pressure controls the outlet blocking valve which
closes the pump outlet port.
Pump Operation #2
NOTE: When the two pump outlet pressures are below 2500 psi, an amber HYDR SYST light
on the central annunciator panel comes on, when this panel operates in the back-up
back
(BU) mode.

• Manifolds
In each pressure supply line from the
the engine pump, there is a filter in the pressure filter
manifold.
The head assembly of a pressure filter manifold has a latched-type latched type differential pressure
indicator which controls a magnetic indicator on the hydraulic ground-service
service panel in case of a
dirty filter. Each filter unit has one filter element.
The return filter manifold is very similar to the pressure filter manifold, but, it has a through-pass
valve built into the head assembly. This makes sure that that in case of a clogged return filter,
hydraulic fluid can flow back to the system reservoir, and the pressure in the return system
stays within limits.
The return filter manifold also has an anti-cavitation valve which prevents cavitation in case of
operation
ation of a consumer with different surface areas.
The pressure filter manifolds are in the left and right accessory bays. The return filter manifold
is in the hydraulic bay.

• System Reservoir
The system reservoir is located in the hydraulic bay. It is made of stainless steel; the fluid
capacity is 10 liters (2.6 US gallons).
This reservoir has:
- a sight glass
- an alternate filler plug
- an air pressure connection
- a fluid quantity transmitter
- a temperature switch
- a manifold with supply connections
- a return connection
- a drain plug.
Hydraulic Reservoir
When the temperature of the fluid is above 90°C (194°F), an overheat switch in the system
reservoir closes and supplies a ground signal to the amber OVHT (overheat) light on the
HYDRAULIC control panel. This switch is in a self-closing adapter to make its removal possible
without draining the system reservoir.
Quantity Indication
The accumulator of the normal brake control valves has a piston stop which prevents too much
hydraulic fluid to flow into this accumulator in case of a nitrogen pressure failure.
