Hydraulics Flashcards
How are the hydraulic reservoirs pressurized?
By bleed air
How many hydraulic systems?
3; G B Y
Why are the hydraulic reservoirs pressurized?
To prevent cavitation
What is the normal bleed air source for reservoir pressurization?
Engine 1 bleed air
If bleed air pressure gets low for hydraulic reservoir pressure, what will happen?
Bleed air will be taken from the cross bleed duct
What are the hydraulic reservoirs monitored for?
Low level
Low pressure
Overheat
How is the green system usually pressurized?
By engine driven 1 pump
How is the yellow system usually pressurized?
By the engine driven pump 2.
How is the blue system usually pressurized?
By an electric pump
Which electrical system drives the blue electric pump?
AC1
Which pumps may pressurize the yellow system?
Engine driven 2 pump
Electric pump
Hand pump
PTU
Which electric systems drive the Y electric pump?
AC2 and external power
What pressure do the engine driven pumps and electric pumps supply?
3000 PSI
What pressure does the PTU supply?
2500 PSI
When does the PTU activate?
Automatically when differential pressure between the two systems is greater than 500 PSI.
