Phenom 300 Robomule Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)

Embraer validated the Robomule as a Phenom 300 alternative ground power source. The Robomule is used as a power source for performing several hydraulic checks, such as landing gear cycle check. the Robomule is connected to the Engine Drive Hydraulic Pump (EDP) for the Phenom 300 without requiring an adapter or spline change and is designed to work well in all aspects of the maintenance event.

The Robomule utilizes the aircraft’s original equipment aircraft engine driven hydraulic pump, filters pressure regulator, and fluid installed on the aircraft by providing a motorized accessory drive to the aircraft hydraulic pump (EDP), rather than the aircraft’s turbine engine, as shown below.

Phenom 300 Robomule Hydraulic Power Unit

The Robomule’s adaptation substitutes an external hydraulic power cart, does not induce hydraulic system contamination, eliminates the risk of air entering the hydraulic system, and cannot over-pressurize the aircraft’s hydraulic system. Also, the Robomule use does not allow or provide a method for fluid loss or leaks, and is quick and easy to install and utilize.

The Robomule requires aviation experience and aviation technical skill to adapt to the aircraft and use safely, properly, and efficiently. Further information for the operational check using the Robomule is available on Flyembraer AMM 29-10-00-710-803-A as well as it’s characteristics in the Item (3716) – 030 – Non Tool Sheets – List of Standard Tools.

What is Soft Start on Aircraft Ground Power Units?

$

Soft Start on Ground Power Units – What is it and do I need this option?

This is a limiter that can be either added into the power cart during manufacturing or at a later date. It limits the output current of the unit and will allow the voltage to automatically decrease as more current is drawn from the unit.

Its purpose is to “soften” the inrush of current when the starter of a turbine engine is first engaged to protect the starter from being over torqued and the solenoid contacts from arcing. Starting current will be limited to approximately 1000 amps when using the “soft start”.

On inrush, the “soft start” drops the voltage as needed to limit the current to around 1000 amps in order to stay connected. As the engine spools up, the voltage will return to 28 volts. On some aircraft, the battery must be turned on in order to be able to inject external power into the start system. In this type of arrangement the aircraft batteries and power cart are in parallel. On a start, the engine draws power from both the batteries and the power cart. If the “soft start” is switched on the batteries will furnish about 80% of the power and the power cart about 20%. With the “soft start” switched in “normal” position, or out of the circuit, the reverse is true, 80% will come from the power cart and 20% from the aircraft batteries as it should. On aircraft where the start can be supplied from external, the power cart will supply 100% of the power.

Since acquiring the JETPorter line in 2006, Tronair realized that operators weren’t thrilled about getting down on hands and knees, crawling under the aircraft, putting a strap around the landing gear and then pulling the plane into the cradle.

Martin Kurzdorfer, Tronair’s vice president of sales and marketing recounted a number of such stories heard during visits to many JETPorter and TLTV tug operators.

“Man, this a real pain in the butt,” was a common theme heard repeatedly.

In addition, Tronair had received many reports of “negative events,” which means that the use of a strap capture method had damaged the aircraft landing gear.

As a result, Tronair’s engineering department decided to take a hard look at the problem.

What the engineers devised worked out perfectly for US Airways Express last year when new gates opened up at Reagan National Airport for the airline’s regional flights.

“For the first time a GSE manufacturer has brought an interesting product down to our Express world,” says Fred Maslow, analyst for station resource allocation, Piedmont Airlines, Inc. “It is our pushback operator’s tug of choice.”

Before the new gates opened up, the jets parked remotely and the planes relied on their own power to make the turns. With the new gates, the ground crew would be handling pushbacks and also towing planes to hangars with tight space requirements.

With those challenges in mind, Tronair’s engineering department worked closely with US Airways Express to devise a new way to perform these everyday operations.

As a result, US Airways Express became Tronair’s launch customer for the Softcapture® outfitted on the JETPorter JP100S. The innovative cradle allows one operator to capture and move aircraft without straps, without touching the oleo strut – or any part of the nose landing gear – and all without leaving the driver’s seat.

That’s a great way to summarize why we picked the Softcapture and Tronair as the year’s Ground Support Product Leader.

The Cradle: Let’s describe the operational procedure how the SoftCapture works on the model JP100S:

  • The operator drives the tractor to within 2-3 feet of the aircraft’s nose landing gear. The driver then lowers the cradle by holding the “cradle down” switch, until the cradle motion stops.
  • The cradle stops its downward motion when a bottom roller causes a proximity switch to trip. The act of lowering the cradle automatically puts the vehicle to safely approach the aircraft.
  • The operator then opens the cradle by holding both the “cradle down” and the “cradle open” switch at the same time. Both switches are held until the cradle motion stops. Motion is stopped when the side cradle cylinders reach the end of their stroke.
  • The operator proceeds to move the vehicle forward and aligns the upper rollers with the ribs of the nose landing gear’s tire tread. When the tires make contact with the rear cradle bar, the forward throttle shuts off.
  • The operator then presses and holds the “cradle close” switch until the cradle motion stops. When the cradle gates swing past the 45-degree position, the parking brake on the vehicle is released. This allows the vehicle to roll in relation to the aircraft and avoids placing horizontal load on the landing gear.
  • Meanwhile, the cradle gates continue to close until hydraulic fluid flows over a preset relief valve, which stops the cradle motion.
  • The operator then presses the “cradle up” switch until the cradle motion stops. The cradle tilts to a 15-degree angle. Between 13 degrees and 15 degrees, the cradle make contact with the proximity switch. Also, the upper hold-down arms lock in place between 13 degrees and 15 degrees. The fully raised cradle takes the vehicle out of “creep speed.”

Once the aircraft is taken to where it needs to be, the driver presses the “cradle down” button until the cradle movement stops. The start of the downward movement, releases the upper hold-down arms. With the cradle down, the vehicle is again restricted to creep speed. The driver backs straight away with turning the steering wheel until the landing gear is clear.

The cradle must be raised and the driver must be sitting before the vehicle can drive above creep speed.

“Tronair has been fully invested in their customer’s satisfaction and nothing has stood in their way of keeping our units operational and in service,” says Brian Wemple, manager, customer service support for Piedmont Airlines Inc. “They have provided excellent support to our operation and they have been readily available to assist us with any concerns regarding the operation and maintenance of the JETporter SoftCapture units.”

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Of course, the Softcapture, no matter how innovative, just goes along for the ride so to speak. Tronair has also engineered a number of features into the electric vehicle to efficiently and safely perform pushbacks and towing all day long.

“I have been impressed with Tronair’s ability to engineer this device to meet the design requirements and provide the documentation necessary to gain carrier approvals,” says D. Scott Barninger, director, ground support equipment, US Airways Express.

Direct Drive Train System: Two 10-hp 48V DC motors are directly connected inline with the brakes and torque hubs for maximum mechanical efficiency. The maximum combined torque capability for break-away at the gear hub output (36:1) without programmed limits is 6,500 foot-pounds.

Solid rubber traction tires mount to the opposite side of the drive hubs. Digital logic controllers are used to control the drive train.

“Basically, the JETPorter’s direct drive system has less moving parts that other models that use a chain drive,” Kurzdorfer says. “Less moving parts means much less maintenance costs.”

Steering System: There’s more to the direct drive system that comes into play to steer the vehicle. The motors are driven by two separate controllers. The controllers are linked together through a “proportional steering module,” and the PSM delivers the throttle signal to each controller. The signal is based on foot throttle position and steering wheel position.

A hydraulic rotary actuator connected to the steering axle and leaf spring suspension provides a “fifth wheel-type” steering – giving the vehicle a true zero degree turning radius, reduced tire wear, and increased traction and control on snow and ice.

“You can turn on a dime,” Kurzdorfer adds. “The vehicle’s two rear wheels are centered in a way that you can actually rotate about the cradle. That makes it much easier to operate in tight situations.”

The low profile of the vehicle also helps it fit under the bodies of most large cabin aircraft for tighter hangar stacking.

Overload System: The drawbar pull can be controlled by programming maximum amperage limits for a given output. The input signal is provided by a three position selector switch, used as an aircraft type selector. The present limits are set for drawbar pulls of 5,230 pounds and 6,140 pounds. A lower value can be programmed to allow for 3,900 pounds.

Regenerative Brakes: The electric vehicle is charged in part throughout the day thanks to the vehicle’s main regenerative braking system. But the vehicle actually has a total of three redundant braking systems. A foot pedal-actuated brake operates as a secondary braking system. And the emergency/parking brake system is automatically set anytime the operator leaves the platform or when the vehicle loses electrical or hydraulic power.

One-Man Operation: “With the SoftCapture, aircraft pushback and towing can be improved to a one-man, automated operation,” Kurzdorfer says.

Without the strap going on or off, Kurzdorfer figures that alone saves a couple of minutes for each pushback. One hundred pushbacks a day adds up to 200 minutes saved times 365 days.

“It adds up to massive amounts of hours and dollars saved when you consider what that time costs to the airlines,” he adds.

Shear and Shock Protection on Tronair Towbars and Heads

$
0
0

One of the biggest questions we receive on towbars and heads is “What does shear or shock protection mean?” Let us help explain.

Tronair Towbar and Head Shear and Shock Protection

Shear Protection

  • Tension/Compression Shear protects from excessive “pull” or “push” loads to nose gear.
  • Radial Shear protects nose gear from excessive loads while turning. Attachment heads are made to break a shear pin if a safe turning load is exceeded; but head stays secured to towbar.
  • Dual Shear attachment heads are made to break a shear pin if maximum turning load or straight
    overload limits are exceeded; but head stays secured to towbar.

Some towheads will incorporate one of the above shear formats, while others will incorporate tension/compression and/or radial shear protection.

Shock Absorber Protection

All multi-head towbars incorporate a spring type shock absorber that helps protect the nose gear from shock loads encountered during normal towbar operation.

Tronair 5Q11 Falcon 7X HPU

How to test the Falcon 7X with Tronair’s 5Q11 HPU and 5J11 HPU

To fully test the Falcon 7X, you will need 2 separate HPU’s. The 5Q series set up as a triple system and our 5J series set up as a single system.

The models required are:

  • Item 1Tronair 5Q11– Triple system with 3 sets of pressure/return hoses. The unit includes the hour meter, pyrometer, and high displacement hand pump. Systems 1 and 2 are used to connect to pressure/return lines (System A and C) on 7X aircraft for test, and these 2 systems are set up with Falcon couplings and both include return sight glass to monitor any air in the return fluid. The third system is used to connect to the Falcon 7X RAT for Rat test and includes a set of KHC-2046 Falcon 7X couplings to connect to the AGE17075A Ground Test Tool.
  • Item 2Tronair 5J11 – Single system with 1 set of pressure/return hoses and 1 set of Falcon couplings. This unit includes the hour meter, pyrometer and drip pan. This unit is used to connect to the Falcon 7X pressure/return lines (System B) for test. It also includes return sight glass option.

 

Operating Instructions

When testing the Falcon 7X, the operator should connect the 5Q series HPU model to systems A & C for test. They should connect the 5J series to system B for test. For RAT test only, they should use the 3rd system on the 5Q test to connect and test the RAT. Systems 1 and 2 will not be used when performing the RAT Test.

When testing the 7X and using the 5Q HPU, the HPU should be set up to use the “HPU reservoir” to prevent cross feeding on system A and C as well as allowing any air in the system to be vented to the atmosphere. This unit does not include a vacuum degassing system, we rely on the fluid returning to the HPU reservoir and then venting. The return sight glass on the back of the unit allows the operator to visually check for air by viewing the fluid coming from the aircraft. After test is complete, the operator will replenish the fluid in each reservoir using the high displacement hand pump installed on the 5Q HPU model.

Recommendation
We also recommend the following optional items be purchased to assist when using the HPU and testing the aircraft.

  • 13-6615-6000 Ram Air Turbine Actuator Adjustment Tool – Used during 7X RAT test.
  • KHC-4006 – Self Cleaning Circulation Kit – 1 each can be used for both the 5Q and 5J series HPU
  • 06-5051-6500 Fluid Contamination Monitor – 1 each can be used for both the 5Q and 5J series HPU
  • K-2339 Inline Sensor – 2 each – 1 for each HPU – Installed on the return line to take instant fluid samples and test for contamination.
