available through the switch to energize the coil of the
solenoid to open the valve. The valve is closed by
positioning the switch to OFF.
c.
Pressure regulator. The pressure regulator (6,
figure 1-27) installed in the pneumatic control assembly
9A2 (10) is a pneumatic unit used in the METS air
system to control inlet air pressures to a remote water
brake assembly. The regulator consists of a spring
case, tee handle, adjustment screw, primary spring,
diaphragm, stem and disc holder assembly, secondary
spring, and a bottom plug. Turning the control knob
clockwise increases outlet air pressure. Air at 150 psig
pressure enters the inlet port of the regulator and the
pressure
is
reduced
to
an
outlet
pressure
of
approximately 25 psig. Refer to the applicable engine
overhaul technical manual for exact outlet pressures.
Output of the regulator is delivered to a water brake
assembly to aid operation. The water brake assembly is
used as a power absorption device, simulating actual
loads imposed on the engine during use. The pressure
regulator is self-relieving; therefore, system air bleed is
not required during adjustment of the unit to deliver a
different outlet pressure.
2. Ancilliary panel assembly 9A3. The
ancillary panel assembly (3, figure 1-27) consists of a
rectangular panel mounting a barometer (11), and
ENGINE FUEL LEVEL indicator gage (4), and a 24-hour
clock (5). The panel is 19.00 inches wide and 8.72
inches high. The panel is provided with left and right
handles and is secured to the right hand castle
assembly enclosure with four sets of flush-mounted
screws and washers.
a.
Barometer. The barometer (11, figure 1-27) is a
circular scale aneroid instrument having a full scale
range of 28 to 31 inches hg, through one revolution of
the pointer. The six-inch diameter scale has a total
length of 17 inches with graduations in 0.01-inch
increments, and a TM 55-4920-328-13 full scale
range accuracy of 0.3 percent. The unit is panel-
mounted with three sets of screws, washers, and nuts.
The barometer movement is operated by the expansion
and contraction of a bellows type capsule. Expansion
and contraction of the capsule is caused by barometric
pressure fluctuations. The mechanism attached to the
capsule causes the pointer to rotate by movement of a
pinion and sector gear.
b.
Engine fuel level indicator gage. The engine
FUEL LEVEL indicator gage (4, figure 1-27) is a liquid
level instrument that provides display of fuel level in a
remote tank. The indicator is electrically excited by a
transmitter which is immersed in the tank, using 28v dc
electrical power for subsystem operation. The indicator
dial divisions range from E (empty) to F (full) in 1/8th
graduations. The position of a float in the fuel
transmitter causes a resistive change in transmitter
output to the indicator, varying from 0 to 28v dc. This
output voltage is sensed by the indicator. Rotation of
the needle provides liquid level quantity indication,
depending on the magnitude of the voltage input to the
indicator.
c.
24-Hour clock. The 24-hour clock (5, figure 1-
27) is a spring-operated unit used to display actual times
which are record during a test. No maintenance is
required for the unit.
(12) Engine test dolly assembly. The engine test dolly
assembly (figure 1-28) includes a frame assembly (1),
running gear assembly (2), mount stand assembly (3),
engine mount ring assembly (4), data acquisition
assembly (5), and four tiedown rings.(6).
(a) Dolly. The dolly permits engines to
be dressed in a convenient area, towed to the test site,
and lifted to the engine test trailer bed for testing. The
aluminum structure, with mount ring, can support
engines and water brake assemblies weighing up to
2,000 pounds. The aft running gear has two 15-inch
wheels with pneumatic tires. The forward running gear
has a steerable front axle assembly with a removable
drawbar (7) and two 15-inch wheels with pneumatic
tires. The aft parking brake is manually controlled by
operating a lever on the left side of the engine test dolly.
The dolly axles are secured to four latch arm guide
assemblies (17 through 21, figure 1-3) on the test trailer
deck for support and stability during testing. The ring on
the engine mount ring assembly (4, figure 1-28) is used
for lifting the dolly to the test trailer bed, with most
engines installed.
A special sling is provided in the T73 engine accessories
for lifting the dolly with this engine installed.
