IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Ignition Boxes
S Upper Box for system A.
S Lower box for system B.

Lufthansa Technical Training

The ignition boxes trasform 115VAC-400Hz into high voltage (15 to 20 KV),to
charge internal capacitors .The discharge rate is of one per second and energy
delivered is 1,5 joules.

Ignitors
S Right igniter for system A.
S Left igniter for system B.
S Precautions have to be taken before removel / installation
S An ignition test is available through MCDU menus to verfy the ignition cir-
cuit.

The starting system of the engine utilizes pressurized air to drive a turbine at

high speed. This turbine drives the engine high pressure rotor through a reduc-
tion gear and the engine accessory drive system.
The air which is necessary to drive the starter comes from :
- either the APU
- or the second engine
- or a ground power unit.
The starter supply is controlled by a starter shut-off valve (SOV)
pneumatically operated and electrically controlled. In case of failure, the SOV
can be operated by hand.
The starter valve closes when the N2 speed reaches 50 %.
The starter centrifugal clutch disengages when N2 speed is higher than 50%.
Engine starting is controlled from the ENG start panel 115VU located on center
pedestal and ENG/MAN START switch on the overhead panel.

STARTER AIR VALVE
Make an entry in the log book.
The starter air valve is electrical controled ( by a solenoid )and pneumatic oper-
ated. (diaphram and actuator) .
It will open when the solenoid is energized (28VDC) and airpressure is avail-
able. Starter Valve Manual Operation
Visual position indicator operation
The override handle aligns with markings on the valve to provide an external
indication of butterfly position.
Position switch operation
The normally open redundant electrical position switches are actuated by the
closing end of the actuator to provide remote indication when the butterfly is in
any position except closed.
Redundant solenoid
The solenoid has two independent coils, either one of which when energized
will open the valve.

STARTER VALVE MANUAL OPERATION

TASK 80-11-00-040-041

CAUTION :
DO NOT OPERATE THE MANUAL HANDLE OF THE PNEUMATIC
STARTER VALVE, IF THE STARTER SYSTEM IS NOT PRESSURIZED.
IF NOT DAMAGE TO THE PNEUMATIC STARTER VALVE CAN OCCUR.
