Hydraulic System

System Description

System Description
GREEN Is being pressurized by an Engine Driven Pump (EDP) which is connected to Engine N1. Hence the Green EDP can only produce pressure when the engine is running.
BLUE Is being pressurized by an Electric Pump. In an emergency the blue system can also be pressurized by the RAM Air Turbine (RAT).
YELLOW Is being pressurized by an Engine Driven Pump (EDP) which is connected to Engine N2. As a backup power source, an electriv driven pump is also available on the ground and is used for short term usage only. If this pump fails, there is a handpump with which the cargo doors can be opened.
PTU Power Transfer Unit. Is built in to allow system pressure transfer (not fluid transfer) from the yelow to green system and vice versa.
