Support systems include induction, cooling and exhaust systems. Refer to engine and engine component manufacturer’s maintenance publications for product specific inspection, repair, and maintenance procedures. 6.002 Description R22-series helicopters are powered by one of four different Lycoming engines. O-320- A2B or O-320-A2C engines are installed in standard model R22s and are normally rated at 150 horsepower. O-320-B2C engines are installed in R22 HP, R22 Alpha, and R22 Beta models and are normally rated at 160 horsepower. Beta II/Mariner II helicopters have an O-360-J2A engine capable of 180 horsepower, derated by Lycoming to 145 horsepower. All engines are derated to 124 maximum continuous horsepower (MCP) by limitation of manifold pressure and RPM. Beta, Mariner, and Beta II/Mariner II helicopters have a 5-minute takeoff rating of 131 HP (see Pilot’s Operating Handbook). Starting assist for O-320-A2B engines is provided by an impulse coupling installed on the engine-

left (helicopter-right) magneto. Starting assist for O-320-A2C, O-320-B2C, and O-360- J2A engines is provided by a starter vibrator system and retard points in the engine-left magneto. Tachometer points in the engine-right magneto supply engine RPM information to the governor controller and engine tachometer. At 104% engine tachometer indication the engine is turning 2652 RPM. Induction is through an air filter located in a carburetor-mounted air box assembly. Carburetor heat is supplied by an exhaust-pipe-mounted scoop and duct. Carburetor heat is controlled through a cable-operated guillotine valve in air box. Carburetor inlet air is filtered, even with carburetor heat on. Provision for an obstructed air filter is provided by a spring loaded bypass valve mounted on the air box cover, or by air box flexing. On Beta II/Mariner II aircraft, application of carburetor heat is correlated with changes in collective setting through a friction clutch to reduce pilot work load. Lowering collective mechanically adds carburetor heat and raising collective reduces carburetor heat. The pilot may override the friction clutch and increase or decrease carburetor heat as desired. A latch is provided at the carburetor heat control knob to lock carburetor heat off when not required. Cooling is supplied by an engine-mounted fanwheel enclosed by a fiberglass scroll. The scroll ducts cooling air to engine-mounted panels which in turn direct air to cylinders, external oil cooler, alternator, and main rotor gearbox. Power is transmitted through a vertically mounted sheave-and-belt system which is engaged by an electric belt tension actuator. Battery charging and electrical power is supplied by 60-amp belt-driven alternator. A 70- amp alternator is optional.
