4.2 Maximum Power (Torquemeter Pressure)
Check
The purpose of this check is to determine whether or not the installed engine
will deliver torquemeter pressure (power) equal to or greater than a minimum
specification engine. Since the minimum specification engine is capable of
delivering 1500 horsepower, and the engine as installed in the helicopter is
de-rated to 1290 horsepower, care must be taken not to exceed the power
limitation (55.7 PSI (100%) torquemeter pressure). This “full throttle” power
check, in order to be conclusive, must be made at conditions of altitude and
temperature at which full throttle will produce no more than 55.7 PSI (100%)
torquemeter pressure. This check should be accomplished in the following
manner:
De-ice OFF, Cabin heat OFF
Initiate a climb at best climb speed and 100 percent N
2
Maintain climb and increase collective (not to exceed 55.7 PSI (100%) of
torque) until the N
2
speed drops to 98 percent with the governor RPM switch
“Beeped” to full increase.
Read and record the following
Example
Pressure altitude 6000 ft
Ambient air temperature 30°C
Torquemeter pressure 53.2 PSI (95.5%)
Gas producer speed (N
1
) 96.6%
Enter chart (Figure 4-1) at pressure altitude (Point A), proceed horizontally to
ambient air temperature (Point B), and then proceed vertically down and read
chart torquemeter pressure (Point C). Example: 52.0 PSI (93.4%)
Since the observed maximum torquemeter pressure of the example (53.2
