Feb 14, 2018 · Oil, a hydraulic fluid, is one of the vital components of the IDG. Oil is used for cooling and lubrication, and is also used to by the CSD to regulate the rotation speed of the generator mechanically. IDG is driven by the engine Accessory Gearbox. It is …

Dec 26, 2021 · To reduce oil temperature, before limits are reached, the following are recommended: 1. Low Speed- Increase engine speed to increase fuel flow and thereby cool IDG oil. 2. High Speed- Reduce generator load or turn off generator. If the oil temperature continues to rise, mechanically disconnect the IDG.

Mar 10, 2024 · CSD portion of the IDG is a hydromechanical device that adds to or subtracts from the variable input speed of the engine gearbox. IDG is cooled and lubricated by the oil circulation system. Oil is cooled by an external mounted IDG oil cooler.

Apr 30, 2023 · However, when starting up the engines, I got the message “elec idg 1 oil ovht” on the ECAM. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find a solution. Does anyone know what causes this and what are the steps to fix it.

Fill the IDG with the Oil with the maximum of 35 PSI. ensure there is enough Oil in the reservoir in order to avoid the introduction of the Air in the IDG system. use a transparent tube to...

Oct 5, 2022 · Hydraulic fluids such as oil are critical components of the IDG. Oil is not only used for cooling and lubrication, but also plays a pivotal role within the CSD where it is used to mechanically control the rotational speed of the generator.

Dec 16, 2024 · IDG Oil System Inside the IDG are pumps that move the oil through the IDG and out through two external air/oil heat exchangers. There is a spring actuated vent valve on the IDG to keep constant internal pressure in the housing.

Sep 21, 2009 · Understanding the IDG oil purpose is no more complicated than asking what the purpose of having oil and coolant in your car's piston engine. This thread needs to be moved if it is for the purpose of discussing the inner workings of an IDG.

Oct 4, 2016 · The Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) oil cooling system consists of a self-contained oil circuit and a fuel/oil heat exchanger. OPERATION PRINCIPLE A scavenge pump pumps the oil through the oil filter and the fuel/oil heat exchanger. A charge pump provides regulated oil supply pressure to the users.

IDG - Integrated Drive Generator (NG's only) Check oil level in the sight glass, note different levels for left and right engine as unit is same for both sides. IDG's will auto-disconnect with a high oil temperature, thus no IDG oil temperature gauges on the gen drive panel .
