24. There are ten non-return valves in the system (see Fig 1 and 4), they are used to isolate sections
of the system for servicing purposes and directing the fuel to the generating unit engine when the
emergency tap is opened.
Gravity check valve
2.5. The gravity check valves (Fig 4(12) and (35» differ from the non-return valves only in respect of
valve opening pressure. The spring setting is calibrated to 34.5 kN/m2 (5 Ibf/in2) pressure.
26. The valves prevent any loss of fluid when the engine supply feeds are disconnected and the fuel
pumps are switched off. The valve opening pressure is greater than that of the gravity head in the
system.

OPERATION OF A SIMPLE EPICYCLIC GEAR TRAIN
23. Each train in the compound change-speed train is a simple epicyclic gear train (Fig 6)
comprising an annular wheel and a sun wheel geared together by equally spaced planet pinions
freely mounted on pins secured to a planet carr1er.
24. When the sun wheel is held by a brake and the annular wheel is driving, as in Fig 7(a), the
planet carrier is driven in the same direction as the annular wheel at a speed equal to:-
Revs of annular wheel x number of teeth on annular wheel
F 1 revs
Sum of teeth on annular and sun wheels
25. When the annular wheel Is held and the sun wheel is driving, as in Fig 7(b), the planet
carrier is driven in the same direction as the sun wheel at a speed equal to:-
Revs of sun wheel x number of teeth on sun wheel
F revs
Sum of teeth on annular and sun wheels 2
26. When the annular wheel and the sun wheel are driving in the same direction as in Fig 7(c),
the planet carrier will be driven in the same direction at a speed equal to F1 + F2 revs.
27. Should the annular wheel and sun wheel be driving in opposite directions as in Fig 7(d),
the planet carrier will be driven in the same direction as the annular wheel when F1 is greater
than F2 • ie when the speed of the annular wheel exceeds:
Speed of sun wheel x number of teeth on sun wheel
Number of teeth on annular wheel
Operation of change-speed gear trains
28. A diagram of the gear trains in Fig 8 shows how the trains are interconnected. The sun
wheels of trains 1,2 and 3 (also described as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trains), are integral with a
gear which is driven as a constant ratio of the engine speed. The3rd train planet carrier is
integral with the 2nd train annular wheel while the planet carriers of the 2nd and 1st trains and
that of the high train are integral with each other. The sun wheels of the high (H), reverse (R)
and low (L) trains are also integral with each other and with a brake drum. Another brake drum
is attached to the reverse train planet carrier. The annular wheels of the reverse and low trains
are shown as an integral unit and the high train annular wheel and low train planet carrier as both
being integral with the cross-shaft. Finally, each train is surrounded bya brake.

AUTOMOTIVE HYDRAULICS
GENERAL
1. The automotive hydraulic system shown diagrammatically (Fig 1) is provided to start the
main engine when cold, or if the hull main batteries are in a low state of charge. The system
also operates the left fan of the power pack to cool the generating unit engine when it is run
independently for long periods.
2. The variable delivery hydraulic pump (11) is driven by the generating unit engine through a
dog clutch. The pump supplies the fixed capacity hydraulic starter motor (2) with fluid at a
flow and pressure dependent upon the load required to turn the main engine. The pump del ivery
is varied automatically to suit the load.

TRANSMISSION
GENERAL
1. The power of the engine is transmitted rearward through a flexible coupling, gearbox, quill
shafts to the final drives. The main and parking brakes are fitted to the final drives. Steering
brakes are fitted at the sides of the gearbox.
GEARBOX
2. The TN12 gearbox combines the Wilson gear-change principle with a Merritt steering system,
housed in an aluminium alloy casing, and provides six forward and three reverse ratios. Oil
operated band brakes are used to hold the reaction members of the gear trains.
3. By means of an input driven pump, oil pressure for gear engagement is available whenever
the engine is running. Thus the take-up of the drive from rest is confined to a centrifugal clutch
thereby reducing the duty of the gear change bands. Oil pressure for gear engagement is also
provided by an output driven pump which, in conjunction with a ramp and roller type free wheel,
permits tow starting.
