the front portion of the external drive gearbox at its right-hand side (looking forward).
For the description and operation of the oil scavenge pump, refer to 072.90.04.

2.4. The cutoff valve is designed to prevent the oil from overfilling the fourth and fifi;h_
support assemblies and flowing in.to the exhaust stack in the course of the coast-down
of the free turbine rotor.

The cutoff valve is fitted in the pipe supplying oil to the fourth and firth support as­
semblies. For the description and operation of the cutoff valve, refer to 072.90.12.

2.5. The purpose of the breather is to produce a required degree of rarefaction in the exter­
nal drive gearbox in order to ensure functioning of the fuel accessories an.d carbOil seal
of the first support assembly.

Breather (8) (Ref. Fig. 1, 072.90.04) is located in the housing of the pump scavenging
oil from the external d:t•ive gearbox but ha.S no hydraulic coimection with the working
chambers of the pump.

The bres�her incorporates a housing which is attached w�th its flange to the oil sca­
venge pump housing. Fitted inside· the breather are croBs baffle plates (9) which parti,
ally mask the sectional area of the breather channel and prevent the discharge of oil
from the external drive ges.rbox. The breather is connected. through a port with the ex­
ternal drive gearbox. The predetermined degree of rarefaction within the external
drive geaxbox is maintained by selective fitment of jet -(2). ·

2. 6. The cJrlp detector serves to produce a timely warning about presence of ferromagnetic
particles L� the engine oil. The chip detector is fitted irJ; the helicopter pipe return­
ing oil into the air-cooled oil cooler.

For the description and opexation o.f the chip detector, ref.er to 072. 90.1J.

from the·er.igine rear support assemblies past the air-cooled oil cooler in order �o en­
auxe the required pressure in the oil scavenge line.

fhe oil scavenge system bypass valve ia fitted with:i.:o the connection returning oil to
the oil cooler which is secured with two studs to the flange of the middle housing of
the oil pump block.

2.8. The prota�tive filter serves to prevent ingress of large particles into the oil scav­
enge pumps of the oil pump block.

The protective filter comprises bowl (4) (Ref. Fig. 2), gauze (3) with 1000 micron
(1.0 nm) mesh size, and two frame strips (2).

2.10. The oil tank serves as a container for oil required to ensure normal functioning of the oil system.
The oil tank is installed in the helicopter.
2.11. The purpose of the expansion tank is to vent the oil tank. The expansion tank is fitted
within the oil tank.
2.12. The low oil pressure switch serves to produce an electrical signal whenever the oil gauge
pressure inside the engine oil system drops to a level of 2.5 kg£1cm2•
For the description and operation of the low oil pressure switch, refer to Section 072.90.18. To
prevent illumination of the pressure switch light during engine start, until the engine reaches
idle power, interlocking pressure switch MCTB-1,5 AC is connected into the circuit. For the
description and operation of the interlocking pressure switch, refer to Section 075.42.00.
3. Operation
3.1. Flowing along a helicopter oil system pipe, the oil is supplied from the oil tank to the oil
inlet connection A on the pressure pump of the oil pump block. From the pressure pump the
oil ·is pressure-fed via a pipe to the oil filter.
On passing the oil filter, the oil is supplied:
- Along two passages made in the external drive gearbox to lubricate the external drive
gearbox, the front support assembly and the internal drive gearbox.

EFFECTIVITY: ALL 072.90.00

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

- Via the connection of the oil filter along the external pipes to provide lube oil to the
second, third, fourth and fifth support assemblies, the free turbine speed governor drive,
the air starter and the sliding bearings of the oil pump block reduction gear.
.
The pressure lines terminate in oil jets provided with metered orifices.

The pre-set pressure in the pressure line is maintained by a pressure-reducing valve fitted
within the housing of the pressure pump.

3.2. The oil is pumped from the first support assembly and the internal drive by means of the
OH-1 and OH-2 pumps, from the second support assembly - by means of the OH-5 pump,
from the third support assembly - by means of the OH-3 pump, from the fourth and fifth
support assemblies - by means of the OH-4 pump via the protective filter, and from the
drive gearbox - by means of the OH-6 pump.

The oil is supplied from the OH-3, OH-4, and OH-5 oil scavenge pumps via the shut-off
valve 3K-1 and bypass valve into the air-cooled oil cooler for cooling and then fourther on.
into the oil tank.

Whenever the back pressure at the outlet of the oil scavenge pumps comes to exceed the
permissible value, the bypass valve ensures the bypassing of some portion of the oil into the
oil tank past the oil cooler, thus reducing the back pressure at the outlet of the oil scavenge
pumps of the oil pump block.

Toe oil from the OH-1, OH-2, and OH-6 scavenge pumps is supplied directly into the oil
tank bypassing the air-cooled oil cooler.

To improve the oil scavenge from the fourth and fifth support assemblies in the course of
the coast-down period of the engine rotors, the pipe supplying oil to the fourth and fifth
support assemblies incorporates the cutoff valve which cuts off the oil flow to the support
assemblies at the coast-down and starting as soon as the oil pressure differential across the
2
valve reaches a level of 0.35 kgfi'cm •

3.3. To prevent the oil escape form the oil tank into the engine at a standstill, the oil is
scavenged from the first support assembly and internal drive gearbox into the top portion of
the tank via a pipe and, apart from this, the shut-off valves 3K-2 and 3K-l are fitted at the
outlet of the pressure and scavenge pumps of the oil pump block.

3.4. The measurement of the oil pressure in the pressure line and the engine outlet oil
temperature is taken in order to monitor the functioning of the engine oil system. The oil
pressure is measured in the pipe supplying oil to the fourth and fifth support assemblies aft
of the cutoff valve.

The engine outlet oil temperature is measured in the oil scavenge line upstream of the air­
cooled oil cooler.

Some engine models feature a low oil pressure switch (Ref. Book 3).
