SHOULD BE LEARNED FOR A T2 COURSE.
PRINCIPLE
The temperature of the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil is decreased
by fuel through a recirculation system. Some of the fuel that supplies the
engines is used to decrease the temperature of the IDG oil. A Fuel Return
Valve (FRV) lets the hot fuel return to the outer cell. The FRV opens the
fuel flow back to the aircraft tank in special engine configurations (N2,
fuel flow...). The FRV mixes the "hot fuel" flowing from the IDG fuel/oil
heat exchanger and "cold fuel" from the Low Pressure (LP) fuel pump
to keep the temperature of the returned fuel less than 100°C (212°F). The
Fuel Level Sensing Control Unit (FLSCU) 1 and the Electronic Engine
Controls (EEC A and B) control the recirculation system in the left wing.
FLSCU 2 and EECs (A and B) control the right wing system.

FUEL RETURN
The recirculated fuel is sent to the outer cell through a check valve and
a pressure-holding valve to not let the fuel get to boiling temperature.
The pressure-holding valve keeps a pressure of 15.5 psi in the return line.
If the pressure increases, fuel bleeds through the valve into the outer cell.
The check valve prevents fuel flow from the wing tank to the engine
when the recirculation system is not in operation.
NOTE: Note: When the outer cell is full, the fuel overflows into the
inner cell through a spill pipe.

PUMP LOGIC
While fuel is supplied from the center tank, the wing tanks will stay full
and will possibly overfill because the returned fuel is supplied to the wing
tanks. If this occurs, the center tank transfer valves close when the inner
cell gets to the FULL level sensor. The wing tank pumps will supply the
fuel to the engine until approximately 500 kg (1100 lbs) of fuel are used
and the UNDERFULL sensor is reached. The logic circuit then open the
center tank transfer valves again.

FUEL RETURN TO TANK VALVE CLOSURE
OVERFLOW
The FRV closes if the center tank transfer valves do not obey the logic
signals of the full level sensors. This causes the wing tank to overflow
through the tank ventilation system into the vent surge tank.
The overflow sensor sends an electrical signal to the FLSCU. The
FLSCU sends a closure signal to the EECs through the Engine
Interface Unit (EIU). The EECs close the FRV and stop the fuel supply
back to the outer cell.

OUTER CELL HIGH TEMPERATURE
The FRV closes if the fuel temperature is too high in the outer cell,
i.e. 52.5°C (126.5°F). Because the returned fuel from the engine is
hot, the FLSCU prevents an overtemperature in the wing tanks. The
FLSCU sends a closure signal to the EECs through the EIU. The EECs
close the FRV and stop the fuel supply back to the outer cell.

INNER CELL HIGH TEMPERATURE
The FRV closes if the fuel temperature in the inner cell is too high,
i.e. 55°C (131°F). Thus a large volume of high-temperature fuel will
not go into the inner cell if the intercell valve opens. This also keeps
the fuel temperature at an acceptable level if a tank rupture occurs.

PUMP PRESSURE LOSS
The FRV closes if a fuel pump Low Pressure (LP) is sensed by all
pump pressure switches of one wing for the related engine when the
crossfeed valve is closed, or if a fuel pump LP is sensed by all pump
pressure switches of the two wings when the crossfeed valve is open.
This is to stop the return fuel flow during engine gravity feeding. LP
is sensed by the pump LP switch and a signal is sent to the FLSCU.

LOW LEVEL
The FRV closes when the fuel level in the inner cell decreases to the
INNER LOW LEVEL sensor at 280 kg (620 lbs).
NOTE: Note: When the FRV closes, this decreases the quantity of
fuel that cannot be used.
