O Flashcards
What are the three units in a reciprocating engine induction system?
fuel injection system, air scoop, and intake manifold
what is the effect on engine performance when induction system icing occurs
Loss of engine power
what are the three classifications of induction system ice
Impact ice, fuel evaporated ice, and throttle ice
What is the common method used to prevent induction system ice and reciprocating engine
Preheated induction air
What causes fuel evaporation ice?
decrease in air temp on the evaporated fuel that’s in the airstream
When is carburetor, throttle ice most likely to form due to throttle position
Bottle is in partly closed position
what are the two types of supercharged induction systems?
Internally driven and externally driven
what is the function of a sonic venture in a turbo charger system?
Limit the amount of turbo charger airflow
how and at what point does an internally driven, supercharger, boost, air pressure
an impeller compresses the Fuel air mixture, after it leaves the carburetor
from where does an externally driven supercharger, derive its power?
Energy from the exhaust gases
What is the function of a turbo charger wastegate
Controls volume of the exhaust gas
Well, maybe the indication of leaking intake pipes
Engine runs rough
what may be the indication of an induction system obstruction?
Engine fails to start or power is low
What maybe the indication of a turbo charger wastegate will not close fully
Aircraft won’t be able to reach critical altitude
what could be the probable cause of a turbo charged engine that surges?
waste gate malfunction
