Abstract

The Engine Bleed Air system is one of the primary systems in an aircraft and Its components include the Pressure Regulating Shutoff Valve (PRSOV), Bleed Air Regulator (BAR), High Stage Valve (HSV), High Stage Regulator (HSR), Precooler Control Valve (PCCV), and PCCV sensors 390 and 450. Any malfunction in these components can directly impact aircraft safety and flight operations. This research analyzes the performance failures of the system in regulating the temperature and pressure distributed by the bleed air system, particularly focusing on engine bleed trips. This study aims to determine the percentage of necessary component replacements in the air bleed engine system using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method. Primary data is collected from aircraft maintenance databases and interviews. The percentage of main component replacements needed are: thermostat sensor 390 (42.3%), Precooler Control Valve (19.2%), Pressure Regulating Shutoff Valve (11.5%), and Bleed Air Regulator (7.7%). The remaining components account for the other percentages.

Abstract

The Airbus A320 has two main engines and an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) that generate high-temperature, high-pressure bleed air used for cabin cooling, anti-icing, and pressurization. Two temperature sensors, Fire Loop A and Fire Loop B, monitor the bleed air distribution line for hot air leaks. An Air Bleed Maintenance Message signals a malfunction in these fire protection loops and requires quick maintenance to avoid system failure. Leaks, especially near the wing and fuel tank, pose significant hazards. This study uses Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to find the root causes of this message. The main causes identified are damaged interconnecting cables, failure in the Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC), and faults in Fire Loop A or B. The FTA diagram helps technicians trace each component's role in the failure, aiding efficient inspection and maintenance. This method aims to boost system reliability and improve flight safety.
