A330 fuel leak?
 

saw the TV programme about the Air Transat A330 which had a fuel leak over the atlantic, and glided in to the azores empty.
Can someone explain why with a fuel leak from the right engine, the first ECAM display showed high oil pressure and low oil temp or was this just a computer error?

Short reply.
Answer lies on the fuel/oil heat exchangern which heats the fuel before it enters the FCU and cools the oil.
In our instance,the leak occurred forward/upstream of the heat exchanger which then was doused with a very cold stream of vapourised kerosene .The opil temp dropped to a negative value,which led the crew (apparently) to discard the info.
The oil viscosity is dependant on its temperature.high viscosity brings high pressure...
With hindsight,the two indications Low oil temp + high oil press were very coherent...
These alerts were the first to appear as the imbalance would be shown after quite an amount of fuel was lost.

Thanks forthe explanation
