3. System Description
A. LH and RH Wing Tanks
(Ref. Fig. Tanks - Component Location SHEET 1)

The fuel tanks and the vent surge tanks are between the front and the rear spars of the wing box, and
the wing top and bottom skins. Ribs connect the front spar to the rear spar and divide the wing into
compartments. Some of these ribs are sealed, and thus divide the wing box into the different tanks. The
tanks are located as follows:
· the LH(RH) wing tank (inner cell) is between RIB1 and RIB15
· the LH(RH) wing tank (outer cell) is between RIB15 and RIB22
· the LH(RH) vent surge tank is between RIB22 and RIB26.
Access to the wing and vent surge tanks is through the access panels in the wing bottom skin
(Ref. AMM D/O 57-27-00-00) .

B. Center Tank

The center tank is located between:


· the RIB1 (LH) and the RIB1 (RH)
· the front spar FR36 and the rear spar FR42
· the center wing top and bottom skin.
Access to the center tank is through the access panels in the rear spar (Ref. AMM D/O 57-10-00-00) .

28-11-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - TANKS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Each tank has one or more water drain valves. These are used to:
· drain the water from the fuel in the fuel tanks
· drain all the remaining fuel from the tank (for maintenance).

The water drain valves are installed at the lowest part of each tank as follows:
· outboard of RIB22 (vent surge tank drain)
· outboard of RIB15 (wing-tank outer-cell drain)
· outboard of RIB1 (wing-tank inner-cell drain)
· inboard of RIB1 LH and RH (center tank drain).
D. Clack Valves
(Ref. Fig. Tanks - Component Location SHEET 1)

Clack valves are at the bottom of the RIB2.


The clack valves in the RIB2 let the fuel enter the area between RIB1 and RIB2 but do not let fuel outboard
of the RIB2. This makes sure that the main fuel pumps are always in fuel (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) .

21QM(22QM), 23QM(24QM), 25QM(26QM), 94QM, 95QM
(Ref. Fig. Water Drain Valves - Component Location SHEET 1)

The primary components are:


· the body, which has a mounting flange
· a remote inlet (wing-tank water drain only)
· an outer valve and spring
· an inner valve and spring
· a support guide.

B. Water Drain Valve


The mounting flange connects the valve to the aircraft skin. The body contains the inner and outer valves
and springs. The inner valve is installed in the outer valve and the springs keep the two valves in the closed
position. The support guide keeps the two valves aligned when they operate. The remote inlet has a short
pipe connected to it, which goes to the lowest part of the fuel tank.

The water drain valves in the center tank and the vent surge tanks do not have a remote inlet. Thus they
only drain their adjacent area.

7. Operation/Control and Indicating


The operation of the tanks is fully automatic. There is no control of the vent system and it gives no indications.

28-12-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - TANK VENTING SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. General
The tank venting system keeps the air pressure in the fuel tanks near to the external air pressure. This function
prevents a large difference between these pressures which could cause damage to the fuel tank/aircraft
structure. This function is most important:
· during the refuel or defuel operations
· when the aircraft climbs or descends.

The operation of the tank venting system is fully automatic. There are no manual controls.

3. System Description
The tank venting system lets the air in or out of the fuel tanks as necessary. This function lets the fuel storage
and the fuel distribution systems operate correctly.

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-025, 201-201, 203-207, 209-212, 215-250, 350-350


The fuel tank venting system has these components:
· the vent protector (flame arrestor) 48QM(49QM)
· the surge-tank overpressure protector 46QM(47QM)
· the wing tank overpressure protector 102QM(103QM)
· the center tank overpressure protector 96QM
· the wing tank vent float valve 15QM(18QM), 16QM(17QM)
· the check valves 50QM(51QM), 52QM(53QM), 93QM, 120QM(121QM).
The LH(RH) wing has a vent surge tank (surge tank) between the RIB22 and the RIB26. The vent surge tank
is open to the external air through a stack pipe which is connected to a NACA duct. The NACA duct is on the
access panel 550AB(650AB) in the bottom of the vent surge tank. The vent surge tank lets the air flow through
it in each direction. It is also a temporary reservoir for the fuel that can come into it from the vent pipes. The
vent surge tanks have a capacity (before fuel can flow overboard) of 190 l (50 USgal).

28-12-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - TANK VENTING
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The vent protector 48QM(49QM) is installed in the stack pipe. If a ground fire occurs, it prevents the ignition of
the fuel vapour in the surge tank (and thus the tank venting-system). It also lets the air flow freely through it in
two directions, and prevents ice formation.
If a failure occurs in the fuel system (which causes large quantities of fuel to enter the surge tank), then the vent
protector lets the fuel flow freely overboard.

** ON A/C ALL
The overpressure protector 46QM(47QM) in the vent surge tank makes sure the pressure in the vent surge tank
is not more than the specified limit. If the flow of air into (or out of) the surge tank is blocked, the overpressure
protector breaks to release the pressure. If fuel enters the vent surge tank and causes the overpressure
protector to break, then this fuel will go overboard. The overpressure protector is on the access panel
550CB(650CB).

During flight, fuel can collect in the vent surge tank. If this occurs, a jet pump (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00)
moves the fuel into the related wing tank outer cell.
Each wing tank and the center tank has a vent system. The vent pipes in the LH wing tank and the center
tank connect to the LH vent surge tank through the LH stringer vent duct. The vent pipes in the RH wing tank
connect to the RH vent surge tank through the RH stringer vent duct.

The vent for the LH(RH) inner cell between RIB2 and RIB3 is a 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) dia. pipe. One end of the pipe
is open and turned to face the upper wing at the highest point adjacent to RIB2/front spar. The other end of the
vent pipe is connected to the stringer vent duct outboard of RIB2.

The vent for the LH(RH) inner cell between RIB14 and RIB15 is a 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) dia. pipe. A float valve
is connected to the inboard end of the pipe between RIB14 and RIB15. The other end of the vent pipe is
connected to the stringer vent duct between RIB17 and RIB18.

The stringer vent duct is an integral pipe that starts inboard of RIB2 and ends in the surge tank at RIB22.

Check valves are installed at the lowest points of the vent pipes and the stringer vent ducts. The check valves
let the fuel that has entered the wing tank vent system return to the related wing tank.

The vent for the center tank is a 38.3 mm (1.5 in.) dia. pipe which is open at each end. The pipe has an up-
turned end fitting in the center tank to make sure the fuel does not enter the vent pipe. The pipe connects the
middle of the center tank to the LH vent surge tank at RIB22. A check valve is installed on the pipe at its lowest
point. The check valve lets the fuel that has entered the vent pipe return to the center tank.
The center tank has an overpressure protector 96QM installed on the inner face of the LH RIB1. The
overpressure protector makes sure that the pressure in the center tank is not more than the specified limit. If
the pressure in the center tank increases to a specified value, the overpressure protector breaks to release the
pressure (into the LH wing tank).

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the overpressure protector are:


· a body
· a carbon disc (burst disc)
· a collecting grid with a retaining ring.

One end of the body has a mounting flange which attaches it to the access panel 550CB(650CB). The burst
disc is located at the other end of the body and is held in place with a flange. The collecting grid is held next
to the burst disc with the retaining ring.

If a difference between external pressure and internal pressure occurs (which is more than the permitted
tolerance), the burst disc breaks. If the burst disc breaks (because of low internal pressure), then the
collecting grid does not let the pieces of the disc go into the vent surge tank.

The burst disc has a white cross painted on its lower side. When you can see this, the burst disc is not
broken. The burst disc pressures are given in Table 001.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the overpressure protector are:


· a body
· a carbon disc (burst disc)
· a basket
· a collecting grid.

The body has a mounting flange which connects the overpressure protector to the inner face of the LH
RIB1. The burst disc is installed in the body between the collecting grid and the basket.

If a center tank to wing tank overpressure occurs, the burst disc breaks to release the pressure to the
LH wing tank. The collecting grid prevents the movement of particles into the wing tank. The burst disc
pressures are given in the Table 003.

3. System Description
(Ref. Fig. Center Tank - Vapor Seal Area Venting SHEET 1)
The system has:
· a vapor seal
· a ventilating air supply pipeline
· a drainage line.
The vapor seal is a fabric membrane that isolates the center tank from the air conditioning compartment below.

Pressurized air from the air conditioning system flows through the space between the vapor seal and the center
tank. A continuous flow of air is caused by the difference of air pressure (of the air conditioning system) and the
ambient air pressure.

A system of drains at the rear of the vapor seal move the drainage and ventilating (exhaust) air through a drain
mast. A leak monitor in the drain line keeps a small quantity of drainage for fuel leak analysis.

4. Component Description
Vapor Seal
The vapor seal membrane is a sheet of composite material (Nomex fabric with Viton rubber) attached to 'Z'
members on the underside of the tank with aluminum clamp strips and bolts.

Formed aluminum edge strips, seal the membrane to the perimeter of the tank. Aluminum fittings are used
where the ventilating air supply pipe and the manual magnetic indicator (Ref. AMM D/O 28-43-00-00) pass
through the membrane.

the drainage to be taken to show if there is any fuel leakage from the root-ribs of the wing tank. The valve is
operated to release the fuel by depressing the valve piston. This lifts the check valve and lets the fluid flow
through the outer valve assembly.
Drain Mast
The drain mast is an aluminum fairing bolted to the underside of the fuselage. The vapor seal drainpipe and the
belly fairing drain to atmosphere through the drain mast.
5. Operation/Control and Indicating
The operation of the wing center tank external ventilating system is fully automatic. There is no control of the
system and the system gives no indications.

TRANSFER - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The intercell transfer system has:


· two intercell transfer valves 27QM(29QM), 28QM(30QM)
· two intercell-transfer-valve actuators 9QP(10QP), 11QP(12QP)
· two intercell-transfer-valve drive shafts 70QM(72QM), 71QM(73QM).
The intercell transfer valve 27QM(29QM) is on the outboard side of RIB 15 near to the bottom of the rib and the
wing front spar.
The intercell transfer valve 28QM(30QM) is on the inboard side of RIB 15 near to the bottom of the rib and the
wing rear spar.
The intercell-transfer-valve actuator 9QP(10QP) is on the front face of the wing front spar. The intercell-transfer-
valve actuator 11QP(12QP) is on the rear face of the wing rear spar. Thus the actuators can be replaced
without access to the related fuel tank.
The actuators are connected to their related intercell transfer valve by the intercell-transfer-valve drive shaft
70QM(72QM) and 71QM(73QM). The actuators are attached to their related drive shaft by the V-band clamps
76QM(77QM) and 78QM(79QM).
The intercell transfer system is controlled automatically by the FLSS and the FQIC. When one of the two low
level sensors 15QJ1/16QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) becomes dry, the FLSCU1/2 will send an open
signal to the two actuators 9QP and 10QP. When one of the two low level sensors 16QJ1/15QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/
O 28-46-00-00) becomes dry, the FLSCU1/2 will send an open signal to the two actuators 11QP and 12QP.
When open the intercell transfer valves stay latched open until the next refuel operation. At the start of a refuel
operation the intercell transfer valve actuators are de-latched by the FQIC.
During a refuel using battery power, the intercell transfer valves are not energized and will not operate. If the
intercell valves are in the open position, they will not close and it is not possible to refuel to maximum capacity.
During a refuel using APU or External power the intercell transfer valves are energized and it is possible to
refuel to maximum capacity.
Intercell transfer valve position information is sent to the Display Management Computer (DMC) (Ref. AMM D/
O 31-62-00-00) by the FQIC. The DMC sends intercell transfer system and valve position data to the ECAM.
The intercell transfer valve position is shown on the SD FUEL page.
If specified failures occur:
· a warning is shown on the EWD
· the Flight Warning Computer (FWC) (Ref. AMM D/O 31-60-00-00) operates the audible warning and causes
the MASTER CAUT light to come on.

TRANSFER - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

A. Intercell transfer valve 27QM , 28QM , 29QM , 30QM


The intercell transfer valve has:
· a housing
· a ball valve
· a valve spindle
· two end retainers.
The ball valve is in the housing and is kept in position by the two end retainers. One of the end retainers
has four threaded holes for installation to the RIB 15. The ball valve has a master key-way that engages the
valve spindle, and a 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) hole to allow fuel through when open.
The valve spindle has splines at one end for installation of the related drive shaft 70QM(72QM) and
71QM(73QM).
B. Intercell-transfer-valve drive shaft 70QM(72QM), 71QM(73QM)
The intercell-transfer-valve drive shaft has:
· a drive shaft
· a mounting plate
· an actuator mounting
· a bearing.
The drive shaft is in three pieces that are connected by two universal joints. The universal joints permit
lateral movement of the drive shaft in its installed position.
One end of the drive shaft has internal splines that engage the splines of the valve spindle of the of the
intercell transfer valve. The other end of the drive shaft has a master key-way to engage the intercell-
transfer-valve actuator.
The mounting plate is on the drive shaft and attaches to the inner face of the related fuel tank. The actuator
mounting is also on the drive shaft, but attaches to the outer face of the related fuel tank. The mounting
plate and the actuator mounting are connected through the tank wall by studs and nuts. The actuator
mounting has a flange for installation of the intercell-transfer-valve actuator 9QP(10QP), 11QP(12QP).
C. Intercell-transfer-valve actuator 9QP(10QP), 11QP(12QP)
The intercell-transfer-valve actuator has an electrical motor that drives a differential gear. The differential
gear engages a drive spindle that has a master key-way to engage the intercell-transfer-valve drive shaft.
One operation of the electrical motor will turn the ball valve through 90 deg. to open and close the valve.
Limit switches in the actuator control this 90 deg. movement and set the electrical circuit for the next
operation.
A V-band clamp 76QM(77QM), 78QM(79QM) attaches the actuator to the flange of the actuator mounting of
the drive shaft. A location dowel makes sure that the actuator engages the actuator mounting correctly.
The actuator has a see/feel indicator. The indicator gives the valve position, without removal of the actuator
or entry to the fuel tank.

TRANSFER - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

** ON A/C ALL

(Ref. Fig. Intercell Transfer System - Interfaces SHEET 1)

A. Operation/control
The intercell transfer system is operated and controlled automatically by the FQIC and the FLSS. To
operate the system it is necessary to have:
· the 28VDC BUS 2 206PP and the 28VDC ESS SHED BUS 801PP energized
· the circuit breakers 1QP, 2QP, 3QP, 4QP, 1QT and 2QT closed.
At the start of a normal refuel procedure (Ref. AMM D/O 28-25-00-00) the four intercell transfer valves will
be open. When the two low level sensors 15QJ1/16QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) become wet, the
FLSS will send a close signal to the two actuators 9QP and 10QP. When the two low level sensors 16QJ1/
15QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) become wet, the FLSS will send a close signal to the two actuators
11QP and 12QP. The wing tanks are then refueled in the sequence; outer cells first followed by the inner
cells.
During flight, the main fuel pumps (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) supply the fuel from the inner cells to the
engines. When one of the two low level sensors 15QJ1/16QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) becomes
dry, the FLSS will send an open signal to the two actuators 9QP and 10QP. When one of the two low level
sensors 16QJ1/15QJ2 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) becomes dry, the FLSS will send an open signal to
the two actuators 11QP and 12QP.
When open, the intercell transfer valves will stay open until the next refuel operation, when they will be
allowed to close by a signal from the FQIC.
During a refuel using battery power, the intercell transfer valves are not energized and will not operate. If
the intercell transfer valves are in the open position, they will not close and it is not possible to refuel to
maximum capacity.
During a refuel using APU or External power the intercell transfer valves are energized and it is possible to
refuel to maximum capacity.
B. Indication
The position of the intercell transfer valves is shown on the ECAM SD FUEL page.
If specified failures occur (a valve fails open or both the valves in a wing fail closed) in the intercell transfer
system:
· the ECAM SD FUEL page is shown
· a warning is shown on the ECAM EWD
· an audible warning occurs in the cockpit
· the MASTER CAUT light, on the cockpit glareshield panel, comes on.
If the two intercell transfer valves in a wing tank fail to open when commanded:
· the Fuel Quantity Indication (FQI) (Ref. AMM D/O 28-42-00-00) for the related outer cell goes amber in
color
· the FQI for the related outer cell is shown boxed. This is to indicate that the outer cell fuel is not available
· the Fuel On Board (FOB) FQI on the SD FUEL page is shown amber and boxed. This is to indicate that
the FOB is not fully usable.
· the FOB FQI on the ECAM EWD is shown amber and half boxed. This is to indicate that the FOB is not
fully usable.
8. Test
The intercell transfer valves are tested during the FLSCU BITE test (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) . The test
results are shown (on the ground) on the Multi-purpose Control and Display Units (MCDUs) (Ref. AMM D/
O 22-82-00-00) .

The Refuel/Defuel system controls the flow of fuel into or out of the aircraft. Refuel/defuel operations are
controlled from a refuel/defuel control panel in the RH lower belly fairing. A refuel/defuel coupling (installed in
the leading edge of the RH wing) is the interface between the fuel tanks and the external fuel source.

There are two different procedures available to refuel the aircraft, these are:
· a pressure refuel (automatic or manual)
· a gravity overwing refuel.

NOTE: It is recommended that you keep to one type of fuel. Although approved types can be mixed if ne-
cessary to continue operation. Refer to Section 2 of your Flight Manual (Ref. FM Section 2) for a
complete list of approved fuels. Refer to Airbus Cold Weather Operations Information and Opera-
tions Policy Fueling Procedures for safety precautions with mixed fuel.

** ON A/C ALL
To fill the fuel tanks to their maximum capacity, the aircraft must be level at zero degrees. It is possible
to refuel an aircraft that is not more than two degrees from level, but it is possible that the tanks will not
completely fill.
B. Defuel

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-094, 101-150, 201-201, 203-250, 350-350


The main fuel pumps (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) remove the fuel from the fuel tanks and supply it to
the refuel/defuel coupling where it can be removed from the aircraft. The defuel/transfer valve, when open,
connects the main fuel pump system (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) to the refuel/defuel system.

The refuel/defuel control panel has:
· a control panel 800VU
· a fuel quantity indicator 6QT
· a fuel quantity preselector 5QT.
Access to the refuel/defuel control panel is through a quick-release door 192MB. This panel controls the

The backing plate 117QM attaches the refuel/defuel coupling shroud 116QM to the refuel/defuel coupling. The
shroud is also attached to the inside face of the wing skin. The shroud makes sure that fuel does not go into the
leading edge of the wing.

** ON A/C ALL
The refuel valves 7QU(8QU) and 10QU are the interfaces between the refuel gallery and the related fuel
tank. Each valve is solenoid controlled, but pressure operated. Thus when the solenoid is energized, and a
refuel pressure is supplied, the valve opens. The refuel valve has a manual override-button. If the solenoid
does not operate correctly, the manual override-button can be used to open the valve. The valve 7QU(8QU)
is on the leading edge of the wing in the refuel valve canister 19QM(20QM). The valve is behind the access
panel 522JB(622JB). The valve 10QU is installed on the rear spar (FR42) of the center tank in the refuel valve
canister (88QM).

28-25-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - REFUEL/DEFUEL
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The defuel/transfer valve (11QM) is in the center tank, on the rear spar. The defuel/transfer valve connects
the main fuel pump system (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) to the refuel gallery. When open, the valve lets
the fuel in the main fuel pump system be moved into the refuel gallery. This lets the fuel be:
· moved from one tank to another
· delivered to the refuel/defuel coupling for removal from the aircraft.
A single motor actuator (11QU) operates the defuel/transfer valve. A V-band clamp (82QM) attaches the
actuator to the defuel/transfer valve.
A MODE SELECT switch (3QU), on the refuel/defuel control panel (800VU), controls the operation of the
defuel/transfer valve (11QM). The actuator (11QU) will open the defuel/transfer valve (11QM) when the
switch (3QU) is moved to the DEFUEL XFR position. When the defuel/transfer valve is open, an OPEN light
(21QU), adjacent to the switch (3QU) will come on. The actuator will close the defuel/transfer valve when
the switch (3QU) is in the OFF or the REFUEL positions.
The air inlet valve 161QM(162QM) is on the inboard face of RIB16. A pipe connects the air inlet valve to the
refuel gallery. The air inlet valve lets air into the refuel gallery after a refuel procedure. Thus fuel can drain
from the refuel gallery through the fuel drain valve 31QM(32QM).
A fuel drain valve 31QM(32QM) is installed at the lowest point of the refuel gallery in each wing (the
outboard face of RIB1). Fuel pressure in the refuel gallery closes the fuel drain valves. When the pressure
source is removed the valve opens to allow fuel to drain into the wing tank from the refuel gallery.

The refuel gallery is a fuel pipe that connects from the LH wing tank refuel valve through to the RH wing
tank refuel valve. From this pipe, other branch pipes supply fuel, through diffusers, to the fuel tanks.

The sealed RIB15 (Ref. AMM D/O 28-11-00-00) divides the wing tank into an inner and an outer cell.
During a refuel operation the outer cell is filled first. The refuel spill pipe connects the wing tank outer cell to
the wing tank inner cell. Thus, when the wing tank outer cell is full the spill pipe lets the fuel move into the
wing tank inner cell. A diffuser, on the spill pipe, makes sure that the fuel goes into the inner cell smoothly.
The spill pipe has a check valve 54QM(55QM). During flight the check valve makes sure that fuel that goes
into the spill pipe goes back to the outer cell.

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-026, 201-201, 203-207, 209-212, 215-250, 350-350


Each wing tank has an overwing refuel adapter 42QM(43QM). This can be used to refuel the aircraft when
a pressure refuel source is not available. During an overwing refuel, the fuel only goes into the wing tank.
It is then necessary to do a ground fuel transfer to get the fuel into the correct fuel-load configuration. The
adaptor has an overwing refuel cap 44QM(45QM) which gives access to and seals the adaptor. The refuel
adaptor and cap are installed in the upper wing surface (between RIB19 and RIB20) and has an electrical
ground point adjacent to it.

** ON A/C ALL
The pressure relief valve 97QM is installed in the RH RIB1. If a center tank overflow occurs the pressure
relief valve releases the fuel into the RH wing tank.

28-25-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - REFUEL/DEFUEL
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The refuel coupling has an L-shaped hollow body. At one end of the coupling is a mounting flange for
attachment to the aircraft. At the other end a refuel adaptor is installed. The refuel adaptor contains:
· an inner and outer compression spring
· a valve
· a valve seal
· a coupling ring.
An O-ring seal, between the refuel coupling body and the adaptor, prevents fuel leaks. When the refuel
coupling is not in use, spring pressure holds the valve against the seal. This prevents a leakage of fuel from
the coupling. The refuel coupling cap 41QM attaches to the coupling ring, and gives a secondary seal to the
refuel/defuel coupling.
The coupling ring has a groove around its circumference. The groove lets the coupling ring break away from
the refuel/defuel coupling if a specified force is applied to it. This prevents damage to the aircraft structure.
When the refuel hose engages the coupling ring, the valve moves off the seal. This opens the fuel system to
the external fuel supply and seals the refuel hose to the coupling.

41QM
(Ref. Fig. Refuel Coupling and Cap SHEET 1)
The refuel coupling cap has:
· A cover plate
· A handle assembly
· A guide ring assembly
· Three rollers
· A chain assembly.
Two screws attach the handle assembly to the cover assembly. When the trigger is pushed a torsion spring
lifts the handle assembly.
The guide ring assembly and the rollers are in the cover body. The guide ring assembly is spring-loaded
and has an O-ring. When the cap is installed the O-ring seals the cap to the refuel/defuel coupling and the
rollers engage three bayonet lugs on the coupling. The cap is attached to the refuel/defuel coupling with the
chain assembly. The chain assembly is spring-loaded inside a tube, this makes sure the chain goes safely
into storage when the cap is installed.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the refuel valve are:


· the body
· the piston and compression springs
· the electro-magnetic valve (solenoid valve)
· the manual command button and valve
· the flap valves.

E. Refuel Valve 7QU(8QU), 10QU and 41QU


The piston and the body make an internal (piston) chamber. The solenoid valve controls the flow of fuel
from the piston chamber to the refuel gallery. The manual command valve can also control the flow of fuel
from the piston chamber to the refuel gallery. The flap valves stop fuel returning from the refuel gallery into
the refuel valve. The refuel valves are installed in canisters:
· the refuel valve 7QU in the refuel valve canister 19QM
· the refuel valve 8QU in the refuel valve canister 20QM
· the refuel valve 10QU in the refuel valve canister 88QM.

Operation

When the solenoid valve is de-energized a hydraulic-lock (fuel) is made behind the refuel valve piston. This
hydraulic-lock and the compression springs hold the piston in the closed position.

When the solenoid valve is energized, the hydraulic-lock is released. The fuel pressure then pushes the
piston (against the spring pressure) to the open position. The fuel that made the hydraulic-lock is pushed
through the solenoid valve and into the refuel gallery. When the solenoid is de-energized, the hydraulic-lock
is made again. Fuel pressure behind the piston increases and (together with the spring pressure) moves the
piston to the closed position.

The manual command button (on the front of the valve body) connects directly to the manual command
valve. If the solenoid valve does not operate, the manual command button can be pushed in (and held) to
release the hydraulic-lock. The refuel valve then operates as usual.

G. Refuel Valve Canister 19QM(20QM), 88QM and 164QM


The primary components of the refuel valve canister are:
· the canister body assembly
· the check valve housing assembly
· the sleeve
· the spring
· the check valve assembly.

Four screws and four nuts join the canister body assembly to the check valve housing assembly to make
the refuel valve canister.
The refuel valve canister has an inlet port, an outlet port and a mounting flange for installation to the aircraft
fuel tank.

The inlet and outlet ports have square mounting flanges, with four holes, for installation to the applicable
aircraft system fuel-pipes. The mounting flange has four holes for installation to the aircraft and four
threaded studs for installation of the refuel valve.

PTFE sealing rings prevent fuel leaks between the refuel valve, the sleeve, and the canister body.

When the refuel valve is removed the spring moves the sleeve over the inlet port to stop fuel flow into the
canister. When the refuel valve is installed it pushes the sleeve away from the inlet port to open it to the
canister.

The check valve assembly is in the check valve housing. The check valve assembly has two flaps and a
torsion spring. When there is no fuel flow through the refuel valve the torsion spring moves the two flaps to
close the outlet port. When there is fuel pressure in the refuel valve canister the flaps open against spring
pressure.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The diffuser has:


· a casing assembly
· a diffuser pipe
· a connector.
The diffuser pipe is installed in the casing assembly. Three bolts attach the connector and the diffuser pipe
to one end of the casing assembly. The connector is attached to the refuel gallery.
When fuel enters the diffuser pipe from the connector it is passed out through many small holes in the
diffuser pipe. The fuel travels along the bottom of the casing assembly and out into the fuel tank. The
diffuser makes sure that the fuel enters the fuel tank smoothly.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the air inlet valve are:


· the body
· the end-housing
· the poppet-valve and spring
· the float assembly.

The body and the end-housing connect together to make a valve chamber. An O-ring seals the joint
between the body and the end-housing. The poppet-valve and the spring are in the valve chamber. The
float assembly attaches to the end-face of the body (with a hinge-pin). The float assembly closes the valve
when the fuel level in the tank is at a given level.
If there is no fuel pressure in the chamber, the spring holds the poppet-valve open and lets air into the
chamber, and thus into the refuel gallery. When a fuel pressure more than 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) is felt in the
chamber, the poppet-valve closes against the spring. When the pressure decreases to less than 0.14 bar
(2.0 psi) the spring opens the poppet-valve.

N. Fuel Drain Valve 31QM(32QM)


(Ref. Fig. Air Inlet Valve 161QM(162QM) and Fuel Drain Valve SHEET 1)

The primary components of the fuel drain valve are:


· the body
· the end-housing
· the poppet-valve and spring
· the flap-valve and a torsion-spring.

The body and the end-housing connect together to make a valve chamber. An O-ring seals the joint
between the body and the end-housing. The poppet-valve and the spring are in the valve chamber. The
flap-valve attaches to the end-face of the body (with a hinge-pin) and is kept closed with the torsion-spring.
If there is no fuel pressure in the chamber, the spring holds the poppet-valve open. When a fuel pressure
more than 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) is felt in the chamber, the poppet-valve closes against the spring. When
the pressure decreases to less than 0.14 bar (2.0 psi) the spring opens the poppet-valve. This lets the
remaining fuel pressure open the flap-valve and decrease to zero. When the pressure is zero, the torsion-
spring closes the flap-valve to prevent a fuel flow in the opposite direction.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the pressure relief valve are:


· the mounting flange assembly
· the valve pad assembly
· the spider
· the spring
· the spring retainer
· the bolt.
The mounting flange assembly is on the RH RIB1 of the center tank. The mounting flange assembly has
a hole to let the fuel pass through it. The valve pad assembly seals this hole. Spring pressure holds the
valve pad assembly against the mounting flange assembly. The spring is between the spider and the spring
retainer. The bolt keeps all these items on the valve pad.
Fuel pressure in the center tank greater than the spring pressure on the valve pad assembly will open the
valve. The fuel then moves from the center tank to the RH wing tank. When the fuel pressure in the center
tank is less than the spring pressure on the valve pad assembly, the valve will close.

A. Pressure Refueling

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-150, 201-201, 203-204, 206-209, 211-250, 301-342, 350-350


When you use manual pressure refuel, the total quantity of fuel put into the aircraft (and the supply to each
tank) is controlled at the refuel/defuel control panel (800VU).
When you use automatic pressure refuel, the total quantity of fuel put into the aircraft is controlled at the
preselector (5QT). The fuel supply to each tank is monitored at the indicator (6QT).

** ON A/C ALL
B. Pressure Refueling
The maximum refuel pressure at the refuel/defuel coupling is 3.45 bar (50 psi). This refuel pressure will give
an all tank refuel rate of approximately 1130 l/min (299 USgal/min). At this refuel rate you can refuel the
aircraft (from its usual reserves to full) in approximately 20 minutes.
The necessary total quantity of fuel is set when you move the rocker switch, on the preselector, to INC
(increase) or DEC (decrease). The quantity of fuel that is set is shown in the PRESELECTED display. The
total contents actually in the tanks is shown in the ACTUAL display.

When the conditions that follow are met the tanks will start to fill:
· the PRESELECTED display is greater than the ACTUAL display
· the REFUEL VALVES switches set to NORM
· the MODE SELECT switch set to REFUEL.
Where the preselected quantity is greater than the maximum capacity of both the wing tanks fuel will
automatically be added to the center tank.
The END annunciator, on the preselector 5QT, will come on when the refuel procedure is complete.
That is when the ACTUAL value is the same as the PRESELECTED value +/- 100 kg (220 lb). If the
refuel procedure stops before the ACTUAL value and the PRESELECTED value are the same, the END
annunciator will flash to show a fault.
To control pressure refuel manually, the MODE SELECT switch on panel (800VU) is set to REFUEL and
the REFUEL VALVES switch(es) are set to OPEN. The quantities of fuel that go into the tanks are then
monitored at the indicator (6QT). When the tank(s) have the required amounts, the REFUEL VALVE
switch(es) are set to SHUT.
C. Automatic-Refuel Abort Conditions
The system will abort the automatic refuel if one of the conditions that follow occurs continuously for 4 +0/-1
seconds:
· All high level sensors are wet and the ACTUAL display shows 100 kg (220 lb) less than the
PRESELECTED display.
· The pre-selector that controls the automatic refuel transmits a fault signal.
· A wing tank contains less than 5800 kg (12800 lb) of fuel and the center tank contains more than 250 kg
(600 lb) of fuel.
· The center tank contains less than 6100 kg (13400 lb) of fuel and an ACT contains more than 250 kg (600
lb) of fuel.
· ACT1 contains less than 2100 kg (4600 lb) of fuel and ACT2 contains more than 250 kg (600 lb) of fuel.
· The wing tank fuel quantities are out of balance by more than 200 kg (400 lb) and their high level sensors
are not wet.
· The ACTUAL display shows 100 kg (220 lb) more than the PRESELECTED display.
· The increase and decrease discrete inputs from the pre-selector that controls the automatic refuel are
active at the same time.
· The fuel volume in a wing tank is 100 l (26 USgal) more than the maximum volume.
· The fuel volume in the center tank is 105 l (28 USgal) more than the maximum volume.
· The fuel volume in an ACT is 50 l (13 USgal) more than the maximum volume.
The system will abort the automatic refuel if the Fuel Quantity Indicating Computer (FQIC) is at grade 4 or
higher.

The main fuel pump system supplies the fuel from the fuel tanks to the engines. The system has six main fuel
pumps (main pumps):
· two in each wing tank
· two in the center tank.
The main pumps in each wing operate together continuously to supply fuel to their related engine.
The Fuel Level Sensing Control Units (FLSCUs) (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) normally control the main
pumps in the center tank automatically. They supply fuel to their related engine during flight when the fuel in
the wing tank is below a specified level. The wing tank pumps each have a sequence valve that makes sure the
center tank fuel is supplied to the engines first.

** ON A/C ALL
The crossfeed system (Ref. AMM D/O 28-23-00-00) , when closed, divides the main fuel pump system into
two parts, one part for each engine. If one wing tank main pump has a failure (or it is set to OFF) the other will
continue to supply fuel to its related engine.
When the crossfeed system is open, it is possible for one fuel pump to supply fuel to the two engines.

The system has valves that automatically bleed the air from the engine feed-pipes during fuel pump operation.

The Engine/Warning Display (EWD) (Ref. AMM D/O 31-66-00-00) and the System Display (SD) (which
together make the ECAM) give system data to the crew. If specified failures occur:
· a warning is given on the EWD
· the FUEL page shows on the SD.
When necessary the crew can make a selection on the ECAM control panel (Ref. AMM D/O 31-56-00-00) to
look at the FUEL page.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

** ON A/C ALL
Each wing tank has a closed area which is a collector cell. The collector cell is made between RIB1 and RIB2,
the front and the rear spars and the top and bottom skins. Clack valves, in the bottom of RIB2, let the fuel go
into the collector cells but do not let the fuel go out. The collector cells make sure that the main pumps are
always fully in fuel during all flight manoeuvres. In the collector cells are:
· two fuel pump canisters and their related fuel pump elements (which together make the main pumps)
· two fuel strainers
· a suction valve
· two check valves.

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-094, 101-150, 201-201, 203-250, 350-350


The canisters 1QM(3QM) 2QM(4QM) are attached to the wing bottom skin and fully contain the fuel pump
element. Each canister has:
· an upper outlet that connects to the engine feed line
· an upper outlet that connects to a sequence valve
· a (smaller) outlet that connects to the scavenge jet pumps 66QM(69QM), 67QM(68QM) and the fuel pump
pressure switches 23QA(28QA), 27QA(24QA)
· a vent valve installed on the top of the canister
· a lower inlet that connects to the fuel strainers 6QM(8QM), 5QM(7QM).
The engine feed outlet from each canister has an internal check valve.
The check valves 33QM(36QM), 34QM(35QM) are in the line to the scavenge jet pumps.
The vent valve is installed in a flametrap at the top of the canister. Gas or air that is removed from the fuel by
the pump, is sent back to the fuel tank through the vent valve. The valve prevents fuel flow in the opposite
direction and is opened by a probe in the related fuel pump.
When the fuel pump is not in operation the check valves prevent a flow of fuel back through the pump.
The canisters 84QM(85QM) are attached to the center tank bottom skin and fully contain the fuel pump
element. Each canister has:
· an upper outlet that connects to the engine feed line
· a (smaller) outlet that connects to the scavenge jet pumps 89QM(90QM), and the fuel pump pressure
switches 39QA(40QA)
· a vent valve installed on the top of the canister
· a lower inlet that connects to a fuel strainer.
The vent valve is installed in a flametrap at the top of the canister. Gas or air that is removed from the fuel by
the pump, is sent back to the fuel tank through the vent valve. The valve prevents fuel flow in the opposite
direction and is opened by a probe in the related fuel pump.
When the fuel pump is not in operation the check valves prevent a flow of fuel back through the pump.

** ON A/C ALL
The canister makes it possible to replace the fuel pump element when there is fuel in the fuel tank. When the
fuel pump element is replaced, the internal check valve, the second check valve and a slide valve seal the
canister.

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-094, 101-150, 201-201, 203-250, 350-350


The pressure switches 23QA(28QA), 27QA(24QA) and 39QA(40QA) monitor the output pressure of the fuel
pumps. They are installed on the rear face of the wing and center tank rear spar. A banjo-connection and
pressure pipe connect the pressure switch to the fuel pump. If the pressure from the main pump decreases to
less than 0.41 bar (6 psi) the pressure switch:
· puts on the amber FAULT light in the related main pump P/BSW
· sends a signal to the Fuel Level Sensing Control Unit (FLSCU) (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00)
· sends a signal to the ECAM system.

The air release valve 86QM(87QM) releases the air caught in the engine fuel feed-line. The valve is installed at
the high point between the pump and the LP valve (Ref. AMM D/O 28-24-00-00) .

A suction valve is in the engine feed line in each of the collector cells. If all the main pumps fail the engines can
use suction pressure to remove the fuel from the applicable tank through the suction valves.
The suction valve includes drain paths that transfer excess fluid into the collector cell from the tank which
pressurizes the engine feed line.

The scavenge jet pumps 66QM(69QM), 67QM(68QM) are in the wing tank on the rear spar between RIB15 and
RIB16.
Fuel can enter the surge tank (Ref. AMM D/O 28-11-00-00) through the venting system (Ref. AMM D/O 28-
12-00-00) when this occurs, the scavenge jet pumps 66QM(69QM) move fuel to the rear intercell transfer
valves 28QM(30QM) (Ref. AMM D/O 28-15-00-00) .
The check valves 37QM(38QM) are in the fuel line between the surge tank and the related jet pump. They
make sure that fuel cannot enter the surge tank through the related jet pump if the main pumps fail or are set to
off.
The scavenge jet pumps 67QM(68QM) move fuel caught in the wing tank outer cell to the rear intercell transfer
valve.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

** ON A/C ALL
The fuel pump canister has:
· a body
· an outlet valve
· a slide valve.

The body is hollow to contain the fuel pump. A mounting flange at the bottom of the body attaches the
canister to the fuel tank. The fuel entrance to the canister is immediately above the mounting flange and a
wire mesh strainer protects it. The slide valve closes to seal the fuel entrance to the canister when the fuel
pump is removed. When the pump is installed it holds the slide valve in the open position.

** ON A/C 016-022, 024-094, 101-150, 201-201, 203-250, 350-350


The canister has two primary fuel outlets. One outlet contains the outlet valve and is the fuel supply to
the engine feed pipe. The other outlet has a sequence valve. A small opening in the side of the canister
connects the fuel pump to:
· the pressure switch
· the jet pumps.

** ON A/C ALL
The primary components of the outlet valve are:
· the inlet body
· the outlet body
· the valve seat
· the valve assembly.

The inlet body of the outlet valve connects to the fuel pump canister outlet and an O-ring seals it. The inlet
body includes the valve seat which seals the poppet-type valve assembly (installed in the outlet body). The
valve assembly has:
· the spider assembly
· the valve head
· the spring.

The spider assembly has four legs with a spindle through the center. Each leg contains a steel ball which is
held in place with a small spring. When the valve is closed, the four balls locate in a recess on the spindle.

When there is no fuel pressure, the spring holds the valve head against the valve seat. If the fuel pressure
increases (but is less than a specified value) the force of the spring on the valve head (plus the force of the
balls on the spindle) does not let the valve open. When the fuel pressure is more than 0.17 bar (2.5 psi) it
pushes the valve head off its seat. The fuel then flows through the valve.

Rev. Date : Nov 01, 2017
28-21-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - MAIN FUEL PUMP
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The pump element is assembled vertically. The rotor assembly is at the top. The impeller assembly is in the
center and the inducer assembly is at the bottom. The shaft connects the three assemblies together.

The rotor assembly is a 3 phase 115VAC electrical motor. When energized it turns the shaft and the
impeller and inducer assemblies. The inducer makes a suction that causes fuel to come through the
impeller assembly. The impeller assembly pressurizes and pushes the fuel out of the canister.
The three thermal switches are in the electrical circuit of the fuel pump element. If the temperature of the
pump element increases to more than 175 deg.C (347 deg.F) the switches operate. This causes the pump
element to stop. It cannot operate again and must be replaced.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

** ON A/C ALL
The primary components of the fuel-pump pressure switch are the body and the banjo adapter. The body
contains:
· a flexible diaphragm
· a switch mechanism
· an electrical microswitch.

The flexible diaphragm isolates the switch mechanism and the microswitch from the fuel. When the fuel
pressure increases to 0.55 bar (8 psi), the flexible diaphragm moves to operate the switch mechanism
(which opens the contacts of the microswitch). When the fuel pressure decreases to 0.41 bar (6 psi),
the flexible diaphragm moves (in the opposite direction) to operate the switch mechanism and close the
contacts of the microswitch.

· a Non-Return Valve (NRV)
· a jet nozzle.

The NRV has a spring and a valve assembly. If the related main pump has a failure, or is set to off, the
spring closes the NRV. Thus fuel cannot enter a main pump that is set to off.
When the related main pump is on, fuel goes into the jet pump through the opening X. The fuel moves
through the NRV and the jet nozzle. The jet nozzle decreases the pressure and increases the velocity of the
fuel that goes through it. This decrease in pressure and increase in velocity causes a suction pressure at
the inlet Y. The fuel at the inlet Y is moved through the jet pump, with the fuel from the main pump, and out
at the opening Z.

The sequence valve has:


· a valve body
· a poppet valve
· a spring
· a valve guide
· an upper and a lower cover.

The valve body contains the poppet valve, the spring and the valve guide. The poppet valve closes the
valve body inlet and a spring keeps it in this position. The valve guide is in the top end of the valve body.
The shank of the poppet valve goes through the valve guide, this makes sure that the valve is kept in
position during its operation.
The valve body has four openings to let the fuel out and back into its related fuel tank.
The covers prevent damage to the valve and make sure that the fuel enters the tank smoothly.
When the fuel pressure at the valve inlet is more than 1.74 bar (25.2 psi), the valve opens. The fuel
then moves from the valve inlet back into its related fuel tank. When the fuel pressure at the valve inlet
decreases to a specified value, the valve closes.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The air release valve has:


· a valve body
· a diaphragm and vent valve assembly
· a rubber check valve
· an annular float.

The body of the air release valve has a mounting flange at the bottom and the rubber check valve at the top.
Internally the valve has three chambers, which are:
· a vent chamber
· a diaphragm chamber
· a float chamber.

The float chamber contains an annular float. The openings in the bottom of the chamber let in the fuel and
the air. A small opening at the top of the float chamber connects to the diaphragm-chamber. The vent valve
(attached to the center of the diaphragm) closes the vent port between the float chamber and the vent
chamber. The valve has these conditions of operation:
· the stable or suction condition
· the air in fuel condition
· the bled-of-air condition.

Stable or suction condition.


When the pressure in the valve is equal to (or less than) the pressure in the fuel tank, the rubber check
valve closes (to seal the valve).

Air-in-fuel condition.
If air (which is caught in the fuel pipe) goes into the float chamber, the float falls. This opens the opening to
the diaphragm chamber. During the fuel pump operation this air becomes pressurized which causes:
(1) the diaphragm/vent valve assembly to move to the open position
(2) the rubber check valve to open
(3) the air to bleed from the valve (and thus from the fuel pipe).

Bled-of-air condition.
When the fuel goes into the float chamber:
(1) the float lifts and seals the opening to the diaphragm chamber
(2) the diaphragm/vent valve assembly moves to the closed position
(3) the rubber check valve closes to seal the valve.

SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The primary components of the Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) are:


· a 3 Pole Single Throw relay and
· an auxiliary Single Pole Double Throw contact.
Operational functions of the GFI are as follows:
If a ground fault occurs in the load or on the wiring, downstream of the GFI:
· the GFI micro-contactor will operate to isolate the load and ground fault from the power supply
· the GFI will trip and the RESET P/BSW's metallic shaft will be visible.
The GFI will operate to close the main contacts when the load is selected to ON (relay coil
supplied with 28 VDC or 100 VDC). When the load is selected to OFF the main contacts of the
GFI will open.
When the RESET P/BSW is in the normal position, the RESET P/BSW's metallic shaft is not
visible.
The GFI micro-contactor can be tripped when the auto-test P/BSW is pushed. If the RESET
P/BSW is in the normal position, the GFI function is defective. The GFI micro-contactor can
be unlatched when the RESET P/BSW is pushed. The pins connection A1 and C1 must be
energized to perform the auto-test of the GFI.
The GFI will trip when the:
· maximum differential current is between 1.35 A and 1.65A
· detection time of the GFI is between 2.9 and 3.1 milli seconds
· total reaction time of the GFI (detection time and the opening time of the contactor to isolate the system)
is more than 20 milli seconds.

(Ref. Fig. Center Tank Pumps Automatic Control - Electrical Schematic)
The wing tank pumps of the main fuel pump system are manually controlled. The FLSCUs normally control the
center tank pumps automatically. For the system to operate it is necessary to:
· energize the 115AC BUS (101XP), (103XP), (202XP) and (204XP), and the 28VDC BUS (101PP), (103PP),
(202PP), (204PP) and (401PP)

32QA, 47QA and 55QA.
The main fuel pump system has six main pumps. The main fuel pump system is divided into two sub-systems
(LH/RH). Each sub-system has three main pumps that supply fuel to their related engine. The circuit for each
sub-system contains (and connects to) the same type of equipment. As the other sub-system is the same, only
the operation of the No. 1 sub-system/circuit (LH) is given here.

28-21-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - MAIN FUEL PUMP
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The fuel supply to one engine is controlled independently of the other. Thus, the wing tank pumps can
supply the fuel for one of the engines and the opposite center tank pump can supply the other engine.
The center tank pumps are set to give a higher pressure of fuel than the related wing tank pumps. A
sequence valve (installed on each wing tank pump canister) reduces the output pressure of the related wing
tank pump. When all the pumps operate, the center tank pump will supply fuel to its related engine.
When the wing tank pumps are set to ON, the pumps will operate continuously during the flight until
switched off manually.
The center tank pumps have two modes of operation, manual and automatic. The MODE SEL P/BSW
(48QA), on the FUEL panel (40VU), controls these modes of operation.
In manual mode (MODE SEL P/BSW released out), the operation of the center tank pumps is controlled by
the CTR TK PUMPS 1 and 2 P/BSWs (33QA and 34QA).
In automatic mode (MODE SEL P/BSW pushed in), and with the CTR TK PUMPS 1 and 2 P/BSWs set to
ON:
· the center tank pumps are set to on and off automatically during specified flight phases
· the center tank pumps will supply fuel to the engines, as required, when the fuel is at specified levels
(Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) .
At engine start-up, the automatic fuel feed system operates as follows:
· a signal from the interface units (1KS1 and 1KS2) energizes the center tank control relays (51QA, 52QA)
· the AUTO CTL relays (41QA, 42QA) are de-energized
· if the center tank LOW LVL sensors are wet with fuel the two center tank pumps operate
· two minutes after the first engine reaches idle speed, the center tank pumps stop
· if the second engine is started during the two minutes, the center tank pumps will operate for two more
minutes. They will operate for two more minutes from when the second engine reaches idle speed and
then stop
· if the second engine is started after the two minutes are over, the center tank pumps will operate again for
two minutes. They will operate from the time that the second engine reaches idle speed
· the position of the slats now controls the operation of the center tank pumps
· the center tank pumps will not operate again until the slats are retracted
· until then the wing tank pumps supply fuel to the engines.

After take-off, the automatic fuel feed system operates as follows:
· the AUTO CTL relays (41QA and 42QA) de-energize when the slats retract
· the center tank pump control Ground Fault Interrupters (GFIs) (69QA and 70QA) energize and the center
tank pumps are given signals to operate, independently of each other
· a center tank pump will stop when the two FULL LVL sensors in the related wing tank are wet. The pump
will not operate again until at least one UNDERFULL LVL sensor in the related wing tank is dry. The
related center tank LOW LVL sensor must also be wet for the pump to restart
· a signal is given to the time delay relays (45QA and 46QA) when a center tank LOW LVL sensor
becomes dry. When the LOW LVL sensor has been dry for five minutes, the related center tank pump is
latched off
· the latch is released and the related pump(s) come on when MANUAL mode is selected or when the
refuel panel access door is opened
· FAULT INHIBIT relays do not let the FAULT annunciators come ON during the five minute cycle
· when a center tank pump stops, an engine is supplied with fuel from the related wing tank pumps.

** ON A/C ALL
In the electrical smoke configuration (Ref. AMM D/O 24-24-00-00) the contactor 17QA is de-energized.
The L (R) TK PUMP 1 P/BSW then connects a 28VDC supply to the contactor 53QA (No. 1 fuel pump
emergency contactor-control). The contactor 53QA connects a 115VAC supply to energize the fuel pump
21QA (22QA).

- COOLING - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. General
The Intergrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil-cooling system (Ref. AMM D/O 24-21-00-00) and engine oil system
(Ref. AMM D/O 79-00-00-00) use part of the fuel supply to each engine. During oil cooling the temperature of
the fuel increases. The fuel recirculation for the cooling system (recirculation system) moves the warm fuel from
the engine to the wing tank.

Each engine has a recirculation pipe which moves the warm fuel to the wing tank. The interface between each
engine and each recirculation pipe is a Fuel Return Valve (FRV) (Ref. AMM D/O 73-10-00-00) .

The operation of the FRV is controlled by the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system
(Ref. AMM D/O 73-20-00-00) .

- COOLING - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

6. Component Description
A. Recirculation Check Valve 122QM , 123QM

The recirculation check valve has:


· a valve body with a mounting flange
· an end connection
· a valve-plate, arm and spring.

The end connection is bolted to the valve body. An O-ring seal, between the valve body and the end
connection, seals the joint. The valve-plate, arm and spring are attached to the end connection with a dowel
pin.

The mounting flange attaches the valve body (through an adapter, insulating block and mounting block) to
the lower surface of the wing bottom skin. An O-ring seal is installed (in a groove in the mounting flange) to
prevent a fuel leak through the mounting flange. A bonding lug is attached to the mounting flange.

The valve body contains the valve-plate, arm and spring. A dowel pin connects these items to the valve
body and the spring holds the valve-plate in the closed position. Inlet fuel pressure lifts the valve-plate which
lets the fuel flow through the check valve. When the fuel pressure comes from the outlet direction, the valve-
plate closes and prevents a fuel flow back through the check valve.
B. Recirculation Pressure-Holding Valve
124QM(125QM)
(Ref. Fig. Pressure Holding Valve 124QM(125QM) SHEET 1)

The recirculation pressure-holding valve has:


· a valve body
· a poppet valve
· a screwed end
· a spring
· a seal.

The screwed end attaches to the valve body and is locked with a pin. This assembly contains the poppet
valve, the seal and the spring. If the fuel pressure is less than 1.07 bar (15.5 psi), the spring keeps the
poppet valve in the closed position against the seal.

If the fuel pressure becomes larger than 1.07 bar (15.5 psi) the poppet valve lifts from the seal. This causes
the pressure in the recirculation pipe to decrease to the set pressure. When this occurs, the spring moves
the poppet valve to the closed position.
7. Operation/Control and Indicating
Some of the fuel supply to the engine is used to decrease the temperature of the oil in the engine and IDG.
The fuel goes through the heat exchangers to the FRV. The recirculation system then moves the heated fuel
along the recirculation pipe and into the wing tank outer cell. The pressure holding valve keeps the fuel in the
recirculation pipe to a specified pressure, thus the fuel does not boil.
The control of the recirculation system operation is fully automatic. Level and temperature sensors
(Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-00) in each wing tank send the fuel data to the FLSCUs (Ref. AMM D/O 28-46-00-
00) . The FLSS includes two computers:
· the Fuel Level-Sensing Control Unit 1 (FLSCU1)
· the Fuel Level-Sensing Control Unit 2 (FLSCU2).

The fuel data from the LH wing goes to the FLSCU1, while the fuel data from the RH wing goes to the
FLSCU2. Thus the FLSCU1 (together with the No. 1 engine FADEC) (Ref. AMM D/O 73-20-00-00) controls
the recirculation system in the LH wing. The FLSCU2 (together with the No. 2 engine FADEC) controls the
recirculation system in the RH wing.

Rev. Date : Nov 01, 2017
28-16-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - FUEL RECIRCULATION
- COOLING - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Each FRV controls the fuel flow from the engine fuel-distribution system (Ref. AMM D/O 73-10-00-00) to the
recirculation system. It will only open when the related FADEC sends an open signal.

The FLSCU1 or FLSCU2 sends a signal to close the related FRV (through the FADEC) if one of these
conditions occur:
· the fuel temperature sensor in the wing tank inner cell sends a high fuel temperature signal ( 52.5 deg.C
(126.50 deg.F) approximately)
· the fuel temperature sensor in the wing tank outer cell sends a high fuel temperature signal ( 55 deg.C
(131.00 deg.F) approximately)
· low fuel pump pressure occurs on that side of the aircraft (Ref. AMM D/O 28-21-00-00) (that is gravity fuel
supply is in operation with the crossfeed valve closed)
· low fuel pump pressure occurs on two sides of the aircraft (that is gravity fuel supply is in operation with the
crossfeed valve open)
· the surge-tank overflow sensor becomes 'wet'
· the sensor 38QJ1 or 38QJ2 becomes 'dry' (wing tank fuel-contents decreases to 280 kg (617 lb)).

The FADEC closes its related FRV if the IDG oil temperature is not between certain limits (Ref. AMM D/O 73-
20-00-00) .
A. Cockpit Indications

The temperature of the fuel in the wing tank inner and outer cell is given on the ECAM System Display (SD)
FUEL page.
Fuel temperature warnings are given on the Engine/Warning Display (EWD) (Ref. AMM D/O 31-66-00-00) .

28-22-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - APU FUEL PUMP
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The APU usually takes its fuel supply from the LH engine-feed line, but when the cross-feed valve is open, the
RH engine-feed line can also supply the APU with fuel.
Normally, the necessary fuel pressure is achieved by the main-engine fuel pumps. The fuel pressure is
monitored by the APU fuel-pressure switch 7QC. If the fuel pressure in the APU fuel line drops below 1.5 bar
(22 PSI), the APU fuel pressure switch energizes the APU fuel pump to ensure a stable fuel supply to the APU.
To purge the APU fuel line, it is possible to operate the APU fuel pump by the APU Fuel-Line Vent-Pushbutton
8QC, installed on the APU compartment firewall. The APU fuel pump operates as long as the pushbutton is
pushed.

28-22-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - APU FUEL PUMP
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

(1) The pump canister (9QM) contains the pump and is attached to the wing-box rear spar. The
engine fuel crossfeed and the APU fuel lines are bolted to the canister within the tank.
D. Description of the Pressure Switch
(1) The pressure switch (7QC) has a cylindrical chamber with a banjo type head. A bolt secures
it to a check valve on the rear spar. The fuel pressure in the crossfeed line goes through the
check valve and the banjo head to operate a microswitch in the chamber.
(2) When the fuel pressure drops below 1.5 bar (22 PSI) the microswitch closes and transmits
28VDC to APU fuel pump relay, to energize the APU fuel pump.
E. Description of the VENT APU FUEL LINE Pushbutton-Switch
(1) The VENT APU FUEL LINE pushbutton-switch (8QC) permits the APU fuel pump to operate
on the ground. You press and hold the pushbutton-switch to purge the fuel line during ground
maintenance. This energizes the APU fuel line vent relay (6QC) to start the pump. The
pump is supplied with 115V AC from the essential busbar 801XP. The pump stops when the
pushbutton is released.
F. Description of the APU Inlet Low Pressure Switch
(1) The APU inlet low pressure switch (5030QM) is installed in the APU compartment at the fuel
inlet connection to the FCU. It operates on fuel absolute pressure in the APU fuel-feed line
at the inlet to the FCU. When it operates, it transmits a signal to the Electronic Control Box
(ECB) 59KD.
(2) The switch closes when the inlet pressure decreases to 1.09 +0.06 bar or -0.06 bar (15.8091
+0.8702 psi or -0.8702 psi). The switch opens when the inlet pressure increases to 1.19
+0.06 bar or -0.06 bar (17.2595 +0.8702 psi or -0.8702 psi).
G. Description of the Drain and Vent Valve
(1) The fuel drain and vent valve (5040QM) is installed in the APU compartment at the fuel inlet
connection to the FCU. It permits the APU fuel-feed line to be drained of fuel and bled of air
during maintenance of the system.

28-22-00 PB 001 CONF 00 - APU FUEL PUMP
SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

(1) The APU fuel-feed line connects the engine fuel-feed line with the APU fuel distribution
system. The APU fuel-feed line installation includes:
· a aluminium-alloy tube, installed from the crossfeed line to the top of the wing center tank
(immediately forward of FR42),
· a double-walled vented hose, installed from FR42 to FR80,
· high-pressure Teflon flexible hose which incorporates spacing rings to support and locate the hose in
its tube,
· a fire sleeve from FR80 to the APU fuel inlet connection,
· a drain tube, which connects to the vented shroud, at its lowest point (top of the wing center-box,
immediately forward of FR42) with the drain mast,
· a drain mast at FR47, which connects to the drain tube. It permits the fuel to drain overboard if a fuel
leak occurs in the hose.
7. Operation/Control and Indicating
(Ref. Fig. APU Fuel Pump - Electrical Schematic SHEET 1)
When the APU MASTER SW is set to on, the Electronic Control Box (ECB) 59KD energizes the APU MAIN
RELAY 4KD. This causes the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Actuator 3QF to open the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve
9QM. The APU fuel-feed line is now connected to the main-engine fuel-feed line.
The necessary fuel pressure is achieved either by at least one of the main-engine fuel pumps or by the APU
Fuel Pump 4QC.

As long as one of the main-engine fuel pumps is operating and the fuel pressure in the APU fuel feed line is
higher than 1.5 bar (22 PSI), monitored by the APU Fuel-Pressure Switch 7QC, the APU Fuel Pump 4QC is in
standby mode (not operating).
As soon the main-engine fuel pump stops and/or the fuel pressure in APU fuel-feed line drops below 1.5 bar (22
PSI), the APU fuel pump, energized by the APU Fuel-Pressure Switch, takes over/supports the fuel supply of
the APU.

If an APU shutdown occurs, either manual or automatic (APU failure), the ECB de-energizes the APU MAIN
RELAY 4KD. This causes:
· the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve Actuator to close the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve. The APU fuel feed
line is now disconnected from the main-engine fuel feed line;
and
· the APU Fuel Pump to be de-energized, if it was operating.

If an emergency shutdown of the APU occurs (e.g. due to fire) the FIRE EMER RELAYS 5WF and 6WF
immediately causes the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve-Actuator to close the APU Fuel-Low Pressure Valve and
they de-energize the APU Fuel Pump, if it was operating.

To purge the APU fuel-feed line during ground maintenance, it is possible to energize the APU fuel pump with
the APU-Fuel Vent-Line Pushbutton 8QC. When the pushbutton 8QC is pushed the APU FUEL VENT LINE
RELAY 6QC energizes. This causes:
· the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve Actuator to open the APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve. The APU fuel feed
line is now connected to the main-engine fuel feed line;
and
· the APU Fuel Pump to be energized.
The APU Fuel Low-Pressure Valve is open and the APU Fuel Pump is operating as long as the pushbutton
8QC is pushed.
