We have noticed the Garrett engine is pre-maturely withdrawn for torque fluctuation from the air force and navy bases

We have noticed the engine is not able to perform to expected level at the engine test bed after overhaul assembly shop and sent back to assembly shop at RTS mainly due to torque sensor

In hal we mainly focused on torque sensor working in the garrett engine and problems related to it.

We tested a torque sensor at optimum working condition and as per our deduction and detailed testing there weren’t any snags.

The test we performed on the torque sensor was the rig test.

• The engine in this case is the power producer, creating a twisting moment at the propeller shaft. The propeller shaft is connected to a “Dynamometer”. This is a load measuring device in the test cell “Torque” is the twisting force between the power producer and the resistance of the load. This is equally true in the aircraft when the dynamometer is replaced with a propeller. The propeller is a load absorption device.

 • The torque is usually measured in Newton-meter(N-

m)

• The gas generator shaft transmits its high speed, low torque to the gearbox by means of torsion shaft. The torsion shaft is splined inside the main shaft at the rear end. It extends the center of the main shat is splined to the high pinion gear. The high speed pinion gear and torsion shaft rotate at the same speed as the gas generator. The torsion shaft is designed to accept the twisting load and spring back to normal when the load is removed.

• The heavy gear on the left in this picture represents the load being applied to the propeller and the gearbox. As that loading is being applied to the propeller and the

• Gear box. As that loading is being driven by the gas generator the torsion shaft would be twisted.

 • The torque sensor is a mechanical device inside the gear box that

engages with the gears on the main shaft and high speed pinion. The device measures the twist being applied to the torsion shaft and converts it to a corresponding oil pressure signal that is used in torque indicating system.

Under normal condition when the engine is producing power to drive the compressor and the propeller to get thrust, the torque produced is a positive torque

The torque is generated due to wind milling or due to rotation of the propeller when engine power is cut off in mid air is known as negative torque.

The following depict the causes leading to snags in Garrett engine. The most occurring causes are

NTS-Negative torque sensorSFC-Specific fuel consumptionLow oil pressure andgear box vibration

• The function of NTS system is to limit the torque the engine absorb from the propeller during windmill and thereby prevent high propeller drag conditions. The NTS system effects a movement of the propeller blades automatically towards their feathered position (should the engine suddenly lose power while in flight) and precisely modulates the propeller-blade pitch angle during a propeller-wind milled engine air start.

• The torque sensor assembly is internally located. The torque-sensor function in the NTS system is to hydraulically actuate the propeller feathering valve when too much negative torque is applied to the engine.

Page 13: Aditya Torque Ppt

• Negative torque which occurs when the engine suddenly looses powering flight must be restricted to a very low value so that the drag which occurs during wind milling will not cause loss of the aircraft. On the other hand some wind milling capability is necessary so that the propeller can be used to start the engine in flight should the need arise. The value of permitted negative torque is about 20 HP, this is high enough for air starts but not to high as to cause excessive drag should the plot fail to actuate the feather lever following a power failure in flight.

• NTS regulates feather valve and torque sensors from the negative torque sensing system. When the negative torque occurs, the pilot valve in the torque sensor will move to the left to block the oil passage at the left of the pilot valve. This will allow oil to be dumped from the propeller piston permitting the feather spring to drive the propeller forward gather. The minimum NTS oil pressure necessary for operation of the feathering valve is about 32 psi.

Rig testing

Page 16: Aditya Torque Ppt

MATCH SET TESTING: we checked the dimensions of parts of the torque

sensor. we maintained the dimension within the standard limit because if the torque sensor parts dimension were differed from standard it will be hazardous to the engine . 

SPRING RATE TESTING:• In the test stand of DS – 3101726 REV – F 12 – 16 –

81, the inspector check out the spring rating.• Free length = 0.78 inches • Loaded length = 0.73 inches • Test load = 1.65 ± 08 lbs• Spring rating = 28 to 32 lbs /inch• In the test load value 1.65 ± 0.08lbs the spring rating

must be 28 to 32 lbs /inch

RIG TEST:In the test board we completely checked the total unit of the torque sensor. In this we interchanged the index head position according to the different load conditions and we took the pressure difference.

 DATUM CONDITION AT DEGREE SETTING :The index head positioning at zero degree known as datum position. In this position torque sensor must be given the oil pressure which may vary between the values.

INDEX POSITION AT -2 DEGREE INDEX SETTING :In this position the torque sensor must be given the pressure between 75 psi and 105 psi.

Page 20: Aditya Torque Ppt

  INDEX POSITION AT +2 DEGREE : In this position torque sensor must have the oil pressure

less than 18 psi.  TAKE OFF CONDITION AT +6 DEGREE : In this section engine produce the power to rotate the

compressor and all accessories of the engine. At this position the torque sensor must be given the oil pressure of 21.5 ± 1 psi

  TAKE OFF CONDITION AT +16 DEGREE SETTING :

In this position the engine produce power take –off the flight from the ground position. This position torque sensor must be giving the oil pressure Between 59.5 and 64.5 psi.

Thus our project on “analysis on torque sensor” was completed and as per testing we found out that there weren’t any snags in the

Piston and sleeve Helical gear shaftCluster gearSprings and further concluded that most of the

problems are mechanical failure and they can be corrected through thorough inspection and correction.
