  1. UH-60A/L Fuel System

  2. Components • Main Fuel Cell (2x) • Fuel Lines • Fuel Selectors • Fuel Cell Boost Pump (2x) • Prime Boost Pump • 30 Micron Fuel Filter (2x) • Engine Driven Fuel Pump (2x) • Hydromechanical Unit (2x) • POU/ODV • Oil Cooler (2x)

  3. Fuel Cell • 181 Gallon Capacity Ballistic Tolerant Self-Sealing Rubber Compound W/Nylon Filament • High-Level Shut-Off Valve • Low-Level Shut-Off Valve • Pressure Refuel/de-fuel Valve • Fuel Quantity & Low Level Sensor • Cell Vents

  4. Fuel Lines • The fuel lines are self-sealing, and have self-sealing, breakaway-type valves. These prevent the loss of fuel in the event of a crash or if the lines are severed. • Check valves to prevent loss of engine prime. • Fuel selector valves.

  5. Fuel Selectors • Two fuel selectors in the engine control quadrant • Connected by low friction push-pull cables • Off, dir(direct), XFD (cross-feed) positions • Fuel from no. 1 tank to no. 1 engine • Fuel from no. 2 tank to no. 2 engine • Fuel from either tank to supply both engines • Fuel from either tank to supply opposite engine.

  6. Fuel Boost Pump • Electrically-operated submerged • Provide pressurized fuel to the engine fuel inlet port • Two position switch • Pressure activated pump-on advisory light(25 psi) • Check valve to prevent loss of engine prime

  7. Prime Boost Pump • Located in front of the no 1 fuel cell component plate. • Controlled by the PRIME BOOST PUMP switch on the upper console. • 5 psi rated output.

  8. Fuel Filter • 30 micron replaceable filter • Impending bypass indicator (LRB)

  9. Engine Driven Boost Pump • Mounted on the Engine Accessory Module. • Negative (suction) 6-8 psi. • Positive 45-90 psi output.

  10. Hydromechanical Unit • Main Fuel Control Device. • Mounted on the rear of the engine accessory gear box. • Contains high pressure (832 psi) pump to deliver fuel to POU/ODV. • Also controls Inlet Guide Vanes and engine Anti-Ice/Start Bleed Valve

  11. POU • On the left aft side of the engine accessory module • Fuel to primer nozzles and main fuel injectors for engine start and operation • Purges fuel from primer nozzles • Drains main fuel manifold • Reduces fuel flow to prevent engine overspeed ODV • The ODV replaces the POU with the same functions, in addion: • Sends fuel through the main fuel manifold to the injectors • Shuts off fuel flow to prevent an overspeed condition • Shuts off fuel to prevent a hot start • Purges fuel injectors on shutdown

  12. Oil Cooler • The Oil Cooler is a heat exchange unit that cools engine oil and pre-heats the fuel for better atomization the ensure proper ignition and burn.

  13. L Model • Hot Start Prevention • Np Overspeed Protection System • Fuel Burn Rates

  14. Summary • Components • A Model/ L Model differences
