	AUXILIARY POWER UNITS
		The auxiliary power unit is a hydrazine-fueled, turbine- driven power unit that generates mechanical shaft power to drive a hydraulic pump that produces pressure for the orbiter's hydraulic system.
		If the auxiliary power unit is taken to a high speed (by the APU select switch on panel R2), the primary valve is unpow ered and goes to the fully open position while the secondary valve controls the unit's speed.
		At T minus six minutes, the pilot begins the power unit prestart sequence-confirming that the water spray boiler is activated-activates the auxiliary power unit controllers and depressurizes the main hydraulic pump.

	Auxiliary power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Auxiliary power is electric power that is provided by an alternate source and that serves as backup for the primary power source at the station main bus or prescribed sub-bus.
		An offline unit provides electrical isolation between the primary power source and the critical technical load whereas an online unit does not.
		A Class A power source is a primary power source, i.e., a source that assures an essentially continuous supply of power.

	Auxiliary power unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a relatively small self-contained generator used in aircraft to start the main engines, usually with compressed air, and to provide electrical power while the aircraft is on the ground.
		An APU was first used on the Pemberton-Billing P.B.31 Night Hawk Scout aircraft in 1916.
		In most cases the APU is powered by a small gas turbine engine that provides compressed air from within or drives an air compressor (load compressor).

		The forward distribution switchboard, connected to the forward battery, feeds all auxiliary machines in and forward of the control room, while the after distribution switchboard, powered by the after battery or the auxiliary generator, feeds all auxiliary machines aft of the control room.
		During normal operation, the bus-tie circuit is left open and the power for both switchboards is taken from the batteries, with the auxiliary generator often floating on the line.
		Auxiliary motors are direct current motors designed to operate on a voltage ranging from 175 volts to 345 volts.

	Auxiliary Power Units For Greenhouse Operations
		In the winter, electrical power is needed to run heater fans and controls; in the summer, electricity is needed to operate ventilation fans and to keep double-layered, film-covered houses inflated.
		The generator power capacity should be about three times that of the wattage of the largest motor that is to be started, or at least two kilowatts of generator capacity for each brake horsepower as shown on the nameplate of the electrical motors.
		The use of PTO power reduces the amount of money invested in a system, and the tractor can be used for other greenhouse operations when not being used to drive the generator.

		For a case where large power is required rapidly in such a case where power supply to the above-mentioned fixing device, it is possible to achieve rapid power supply by connecting many capacitor cells in series.
		In fact, the number of the capacitor cells to be connected in series or such depends on each required power supply condition, and thus separate design is required and a design load may increase accordingly.

		Although I'm working on re-launching the Auxiliary Power site, what I am referring to in the title of this post is not the site, but the concept.
		Perhaps it is just me, perhaps its just that I'm in an inactive Wing, but it seems that the concept of Auxiliary Power has died down a little, taken a back seat, or fallen out of favor as of late.
		I felt the blog would provide an editorial avenue for Auxiliary Power thoughts and ideas that could be further discussed in blog comments and the forum.

	Transforming the U.S. Army: Fuel-Cell Auxiliary Power Units
		An emerging technology with the potential for diminishing the fuel required to generate electrical power is the fuel cell.
		A "regenerative" capability uses the vehicle's engine to power an eletrolyser which generates hydrogen that can be stored in the metal-hydride matrix for later use in the fuel cell with the engine off.
		Since the fuel cell produces power almost silently, the military vehicle's stealthiness is enhanced significantly.
