a common load control thermostat, a flow control valve,
an air mixing chamber, two recirculating fans and
connecting ducting, tubing and fittings.
4-43. Bleed Load Control Valve
a. Removal.
(1) Remove tube assemblies (fig. 4-28), and
wiring harness connector from load control valve.
(2) Remove clamp holding duct assembly to
valve.
(3) Remove clamp securing load control
valve to turbine plenum and remove load control valve
from power unit.
b. Installation.
(1) Install replacement load control valve in
reverse order of removal procedures using new gaskets
and new clamps if required.
(2) Connect tube assemblies and wiring
harness connector to load control valve.
4-44. Air Pressure Regulator
NOTE
To gain access to the air pressure
regulator, the following interferences
must be removed: inlet air duct, oil
cooler and ducting and upper plenum.
a. Removal. Remove tube assemblies (fig. 4-28),
two attaching bolts, four washers, two nuts, and two
attaching clamps. Remove air pressure regulator from
engine.
b. Installation. Install replacement air pressure
regulator on gas turbine engine in reverse order of
removal procedures using new clamps as required.
Reconnect tube assemblies using new packing.
c. Adjustment. After replacement of regulator,
check regulator output pressure as follows.
(1) Disconnect outlet air pressure line from
air pressure regulator and connect a line between the air
pressure regulator outlet port and the AIR IN connection
(fig. 4-14) on gas turbine engine and analyzer.
(2) Start and accelerate engine to no load
governed speed. Read air pressure regulator outlet
pressure on AIR gauge on analyzer panel.
(3) Air pressure regulator outlet pressure
shall be 19. 0 to 20. 0 psig.
(4) If pressure is not as specified, shut down
engine. Loosen locknut on end of air pressure regulator
and turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase outlet
pressure. Tighten locknut.
(5) Repeat check procedure until satisfactory
adjustment is made. Disconnect and remove gas turbine
engine analyzer.
4-45. Air Pressure Regulator Filter Element
NOTE
To gain access to the air pressure
regulator, the following interferences
must be removed: inlet air duct, oil
cooler and ducting, and upper plenum.
a. Removal.
(1) Without removing regulator from the
engine, remove tube assembly from filter element cover
on lower end of regulator (fig. 4-28).
(2) Remove the clamp from the cover and
unscrew filter cover from regulator body, then remove
filter element, gasket and packing.
b. Cleaning and Inspection.
(1) If filter element is of spun wire design
(coarse threads at base), clean using ultrasonic method
or by washing with an approved cleaning solvent and dry
thoroughly with filtered compressed air.
(2) If filter element is of wire mesh design
(no threads), clean using a paint stripping solution.
(3) Inspect filter element for any obvious
damage.
c. Installation.
(1) Coat threads of regulator housing with
compound.
(2) Install satisfactory or replacement filter
element in reverse order of removal procedures using
new packing and gasket.
(3) Reconnect tube assembly to filter cover.
d. Adjustment. After replacement of filter element,
check regulator output pressure and adjust if required in
accordance with paragraph 4-44c.
4-46. Load Control Thermostat
a. Removal.
(1) Hold flats on thermostat valve assembly
with a wrench and remove tube assembly (fig. 4-28).
(2) Remove one attaching bolt and washer;
remove plate and shim washers, then remove load
control thermostat from turbine plenum flange.
b. Installation.
(1) Coat threads of attaching bolt with a thin
coat of compound (Fel-Pro C-5).
(2) Install replacement thermostat in turbine
plenum flange with side stamped "AFT" facing rearward
or downstream.
(3) Install shim washers to obtain 0. 010 to
0. 020 inch pinch between plate and mounting boss, then
install retainer plate.
(4) Secure with attaching washer and bolt.
Tighten bolt to 50 to 70 inch-pounds torque.
(5) Hold flats on thermostat valve assembly
with a wrench and connect tube assembly.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 150 inch-pounds torque
when tightening tube assembly.
c. Adjustment. Check controlling temperature and
adjust if required as follows.
(1) Connect gas turbine engine analyzer to
power unit as described in paragraph 4-14b.
