D. OIL SYSTEM

The oil system for K-3 thru K-74 includes a 30-gallon

oil storage tank below the deck of the car, and two

14-gallon oil service tanks, one in each engine na~elle,

and a transfer pump with necessary fittings.

In K-75 and future, the oil storage tank, transfer

pump and fittings are removed and the oil service tanks in

the nacelles are enlarged to the 26-gallon 'size.

The oil is cooled by a radiator which is located in

the nacelle for the K-3 thru K-8 airships, and which is

suspended from the lower outriggers for the K-9 and sub­

sequent ships.

The service tanks are equipped with electrical heating

units to heat the oil in cold weather.

The amount of oil in the service tanks is read on two

oil gages located on the mechanic's panel. The amount of

oil in the storage tanks is read directly on the tank

through a trap door in the deck of the car.

RE!IfARKS

Fill storage tank through

connection inside car and fill

service tanks by means of transfer

pump.

Use transfer pump.

Turn knob on top of filter one

full revolution every ten (10)

hours operation.

Adjust opening of scoops by means

of control on mechanic's stand.

Plug in electrical heating unit.

Fill each 26-gallon service tank

thru filler neck which extends

thru inboard for 'N?..rd nacelle at

end of c a twall{.

Remove and clean oil filters at

each major overhaul, interim

overhaul, or oftener if conditions

are unfavorable. See Oil System

diagram for location of filters.

A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION .. '

The electrical system comprises an 800-cycle, 120-volt

AC supply, and a 24-volt DC supply. The DC supply operates

in connection vd th two 12-vol t storage batteries. The

batteries are connected in series.

The system as a whole includes three separate power

producers, namely, the port generator, starboard generator,

and Lawrance auxiliary power plant.

B. DISTRIBUTION

The electrical system is distributed from two panels,

the auxiliary panel on the starboard side of the car between

frames 5 and 6, and the mechanic's main panel. All the AC

system and the DG ol:ltput of the auxiliary generator come to

the auxiliary panel. The DC output o.f the ·port and star-

board generators come to the mechanic's panel. See Fig.

XVIII and Fig. XXXIII.

NOTE: K-3 thru K-29 - as stated below.

K-30 & Future - see installation of Lawrance

auxiliary generator.

The auxiliary panel e arries a selector switch to connect

the AC loads to the generators in various combinations in

a,ccordance with the following table which is reproduced on

the panel:

The cooking loads consist of a roasterette, a hot ·plate

and ~percolator. A cooking panel equipped with a selector

switch makes it impossible to connect more than one load at

a time.

The battery can be disconnected from the system by

means of a safety switch located in the main junction box

under the mechanic's panel and controlled both from the

pilot's instrument panel and from the mechanic's stand.

§

• t!)

r:r..

The generator switches of K-11 ships and future are

equipped · with the thermal overload devices which operate

when the normal load is exceeded.

To reset a generator switch after it has tripped open,

wait until the overload device has cooled, and close the

switch again.

C. CONTROL BOXES AND CUTOUTS

There is a control box and a cutout for each generator.

The control boxes are ·the -carbon pile type. See Fig. XXXIV.

(1) Carbon Pile Regul~tor

No adjustment or repairs should be attempted in

flight on the carbon pile regulator.

(2) Service Troubles

(a) If the DC -voltage output is erratic or low,

check all connections to be sure they are clean and tight,

and examine voltage regulator plug in connections for cor­

rosion or poor contact. Spread plug in prongs, if necessary,

to insure contact. If the regular contacts are dirty or

pitted, th~y should be cleaned as instructed under "CONTROL

BOX INSPECTION."

(b) If at any time the voltmeter shows a reversal

of polarity by r2ading off scale in the wrong direction, or

if the voltage reading is not more than 4 or 5 volts, the
