Describe the system • Identify the components and their location • List significant specifications • Describe the system interface Objectives
The Temperature Datum (TD) system is used to electronically trim the fuel to the engine. • The TD system will: • a. Provide over-temperature protection during start and in flight. • b. Maintain a selected temperature in flight. Temperature Datum System
Components in the TD system are: • The Speed Sense Control. • The Thermocouples. • The TD Control switch. • The TD amplifier. • The TD valve. • The Co-ordinator/Discriminator. • The electronic Fuel Correction lights. Temperature Datum System

3 things affect the operation of the T.D. system: • Position of the TD control switch. (NULL - LOCKED - AUTO). • Engine RPM. (<94% & >94%). • Throttle position (<66O & >66O). T. D. System Operation
TD Control switch to NULL: • If the TD control switch is in the NULL position, the TD Valve will remain in 20% bypass position. • In NULL, the Fuel Correction lights behave in the same manner as for AUTO but the TD valve will not move. • NB:In ‘NULL’, > 66o throttle, there is NO Overtemperature protection if 1077o is exceeded. T. D. System Operation - Null
TD Control switch in AUTO: • Starting: • LSGI selected: • RPM <94%. • TD system in Start Limiting mode. • Maximum permitted TIT - 830oC. • Maximum ‘Take’ capability - 50%. (Fuel is taken [trimmed] if temp >830oC). • Electronic Fuel Correction light - ON. T. D. System Operation - Start Limiting
TD Control switch in AUTO: • Starting: • NGI selected: • RPM >94%. • TD system in Normal Limiting mode. • Maximum permitted TIT - 1077oC. • Maximum ‘Take’ capability - 20%. (Fuel is taken [trimmed] if temp >1077oC). • Electronic Fuel Correction light - ON. T. D. System Operation - Normal Limiting
TD Control switch in AUTO: On Speed, >66o throttle: TIT @ crossover 820oC (+/- 20oC). Temperature scheduled from 820oC to 1077oC between 66o and 90o throttle position. Maximum ‘Take’ - 20%. Maximum ‘Put’ - 15%. Electronic Fuel Correction light - OUT. T. D. System Operation
TD Control switch in AUTO: • As the throttles are advanced through 66o (crossover), the TD system normally ‘cuts back’ the fuel to set 820oC (+/- 20oC). This is known as the crossover bump. • Between throttle settings of 66o & 90o , a specific temperature is scheduled. The TD valve will either ‘put’ or ‘take’ fuel to achieve the required temperature. T. D. System Operation - Controlling
TD Control switch in LOCKED: • The crossover ‘bump’ can be an inconvenience, especially during formation and tactical flying and also during take-off in very cold weather. • To overcome this, the TD valve is electronically locked in position and will alter the fuel hydro-mechanically with throttle selection. • The TD valves are normally locked in pairs, above crossover.

TD Control switch in LOCKED: • The TD valve will only unlock if an over-temp occurs (>1077oC), or if ‘NULL’ or ‘AUTO’ is selected. • The Fuel Correction lights will remain in the state they were in when locked was selected. • If locked was selected above crossover, when an overtemp occurs the Fuel Correction light will come on to advise that controlling action has occurred. T. D. System Operation
TD Control switch in LOCKED: • If it is required to re-lock the TD valves, the throttles must be selected back above crossover with the TD switches in AUTO then LOCKED re-selected. T. D. System Operation
