FUEL Flashcards
AVGAS
Higher octane - higher max compression ratio (eff)
Octane rating characterizes the;
Anti knock capability
Resistance to corrosion
Low lead
The alloys used in aviation engine construction are chosen for their durability and synergistic relationship with the protective features of lead.
Yüksek oktan olursa detonasyon (vuruntu) ya da anti knock önleyici özelliği olur
Low lead - az kurşunlu yakıt yüksek rpmde kullanmayı sağlıyor uçaklarda pozitif.
Aviation Kerosene- AVTUR
Denser than AVGAS - low volatility
Freezing point & flash point = JETA>A1>B
FLASH POINT = The fuel temperature at which under std conditions the vapor ignites in contact with a flame and extinguishes immediately,
Donma ve parlama noktalari a’dan b’ye dusuyor
Baffle - reduces unwanted movement of fuel in the tanks and prevent surge of fuel
Feed box - pompa boş çalışmasın diye sıvı iletir.
Fuel Vent
To breathe the fuel tank, so when you overfill the tank it has a place to excape.
On a transport type aircraft the fuel tank system is vented through ram air scoops on the underside of the wing.
ATMOSFER HAVASIYLA HAVALANDIRDIĞI İÇİN SU PARTİKÜLLERİ YAKIT TANKININ İÇİNDE OLUŞABİLİR. BUNU SABAHLARI DRAIN EDİYORLAR.
Yakıt tankı basınçlandırılması - nitrogen purging ile sağlanır.
FUEL CHECK
Water, air or some microorganisms can develop inside the tank and endanger the engine due to blockage in feeding lines, icing or corrosion
The fuel tanks of aircraft must be checked for water before the first flight or after a long turnaround time.
Üstten kanatlı uçaklarda mekanik yakıt pompası KULLANILMAZ. Yakıtı gravity sayesinde motorlara rahat rahat iletebilir.
Elektrikli yardımcı pompası kalkış aşamasında yardımcı olması amacıyla kurulur
Mekanik, motorun dişlilerine bağlı…. seyrüsefer sırasında pompa
Vapor lock
High atmospheric temperature cause gas to vaporize and block fuel flow in the line.
Vapor lock - heat produces bubbles in fuel line.
Vapor lock forming are
High fuel temp
Critically low fuel level
Low ambient pressure
Booster pump (low p - centrifugal pump)
BP fuel supply system 20-50 psi
3ph 115-200VAC 400Hz
Avoid vapour locking and prevent cavitation of the HP fuel pump
On most transport aircraft, low pressure pumps of the fuel system are: centrifugal pumps, driven by electric motor.
Uçaklarda 115-200 VAC 400Hz kullanılıyor.
Low pressure pump - centrifugal»_space; electrical pump
Pressure is measured in the line between the booster pump and the engine or at the outlet of the high pressure filter
Ingition is activated before fuel is delivered by the HPSOV (hi-pressure shut-off valve) to the fuel nozzles
Önce çakmak kıvılcımı, sonra gaz.
Cross-feed valve
To supply of any jet engine from any fuel tank
Adjust fuel distribution
Heat Exchanger
Fuel supply system on a jet engine includes a fuel heating device to prevent icing formation from water contained in the fuel
Oil is cooled, and fuel is heated in HX
Fuel heaters are located at the engines
Fuel for gas turbine engines is usually heated in order to prevent icing-up of the LP filter.
Automatic fuelling shut off valve stops fuelling as soon as a certain fuel level is reached in tank
During refueling the auto shut off valves will switch off the fuel transfer system when the fuel has reached a predetermined mass.
