PTU — system snapshot

The PTU transfers hydraulic energy through a motor-pump mechanical coupling rather than mixing the two hydraulic fluids.

737 MAX2 minall_levels

Snapshot

System A hydraulic energy → PTU motor → mechanical coupling → PTU pump → System B hydraulic function context.

Control-valve state, pressure-switch inputs and aircraft state matter to when the unit operates.

KEEP IN MIND
  • Energy transfers mechanically
  • Fluids remain on their own hydraulic sides
  • Leading-edge-device context matters
