In manual mode the R CTR TK PUMP pushbuttons must be selected off when the center tank is empty. FUEL TRANSFER FROM OUTER TO INNER TANKS The transfer valves automatically open when the inner tank fuel reaches the low level {about 750 kg/1650 Ib), thus permitting fuel to drain from the outer to inner tanks. When open, the valves are latched open. They will automatically close at the next refuel operation (MODE SELECT at REFUEL position). Note ; 1. Two level sensors are installed in each inner tank. Each sensor controls two “transfer valves, one in each wing, ensuring that transfer is simultaneous in both wings. 2. The 750 kg/1650 |b value is based on a level aircraft attitude with no acceleration. During steep descents or accelerations/decelerations, the transfer valves may open with more than 750 kg/1650 Ib of fuel in each inner tank and the low level warning may be triggered.

This pump normally runs off the AC ESS SHED, but runs off the AC STAT INV BUS if the AC ESS SHED fails. FUEL RECIRCULATION SYSTEM See also 1.70.40 “IDG COOLING SYSTEM”. Some of the fuel supplied to each engine goes from the high-pressure fuel line in that engine, through the integrated drive generator (IDG) heat exchanger (where it absorbs heat), to the fuel return valve, and to the outer fuel tank. This operation ensures the IDG cooling when the oil temperature is high or when at low engine power. The FADEC controls the fuel return valve. If the outer tank is already full, the fuel overflows to the inner tank through a spill pipe. If center tankis feeding, the wing tank will tend to overfill and the system automatically selects the CTR TK PUMP off when the inner tank is full. The wing tank pumps will feed until the engine have used approximately 500 kg (1100 Ib) of fuel when the fuel level reaches the underfull sensors. The logic circuits then restart the center tank pumps.

[> — REFUEL PANEL», REFUEL COUPLING ‘0 7 REFUEL PANEL <€] REFUEL COUPLING <4] SY REFUEL PANEL <4] NFC5~01-2610-007-A106AA A gallery connects the refuel coupling to the refuel valve of each tank. Refueling is normally automatic, the required fuel load being set on the preselector. Manual control is also available. Automatic refueling starts by the outer cells. If the selected fuel load exceeds the wing tank capacity, the center tank is refuelled simultaneously. When an outer cell is full the fuel overflows into the inner cell through a spill pipe. Refuel valves close automatically when the tanks contain the preselected load or when sensors detect a high fuel level. The aircraft can be refueled when only battery power is available. The wing tanks can be refueled by gravity through refueling points on top of the wings. A transfer valve between the engine feed system and the refueling gallery permits : — tank pumps to transfer fuel from one tank to another. — defueling through the refuel coupling. Approximate refueling time at nominal pressure is : — 17 minutes for wing tanks. — 20 minutes for all tanks. HI LEVEL ‘SENSOR REFUEL COUPLING. REFUEL VALVE.

SYSTEM The FOI is a computerized system that ; — transmits the actual total fuel mass, as well as the quantity and temperature of fuel in the tanks, to the ECAM. — controls automatic refueling. Two channels perform fuel computations : channel 2 activates automatically if channel 1 fails. The FQI system comprises : — an FQ! computer. — a set of capacitance probes in each tank to measure fuel level and temperature. — one densitometer (cadensicon) sensor in each wing inner tank permitting the calculation of the fuel quantity. — one Capacitance Index Compensator (CIC) in each inner tank giving the dielectric constant of the fuel in case of cadensicon failure. — a quantity indicator for each tank installed on the refueV/defuel panel — a preselector on the refueV/defuel panel that shows the preselected and actual total fuel quantity. FUEL LEVEL SENSING CONTROL UNIT (FLSCU) The fuel level system generates fuel-level and fuel-temperature signals in order to operate the appropriate switching functions for refueling and defueling and control the IDG cooling recirculation system and the center-tank-to-wing-tank fuel transfer system. The FLSCU comprises : — fuel level sensors in the tanks to sense high, low, and overfiow levels. — a fuel temperature sensor to control the IDG cooling recirculation. When fuel quantity in one wing tank goes below 750 kg (1650 Ib), the low-level sensor triggers the LO LVL warning on ECAM.
