Piston Engine Systems Part 3 Flashcards
With throttle ice, ice can form -
on the sides of the manifold, on the venturi and on the throttle.
Throttle ice will form at the point of -
lowest pressure
The temperature range for carburettor ice is between -
+ 5 and up to + 27.
The most critical temperature for carburettor ice is?
+15
Impact icing occurs when -
super-cooled water droplets and freezing rain cause blockage of the air intake.
The fuel injection pump is an -
engine driven, constant displacement rotary vane type.
In the injection system, fuel flow is directly proportional to -
and as the pump is designed to deliver a greater capacity of fuel than is required, re-circulation path is provided which, during idling, routes -
the speed of the engine
Excess fuel through an adjustable metering and a pressure relief valve to the inlet side of the pump.
The component in the fuel injection system that regulates the amount of air?
The throttle butterfly valve
The component in the fuel injection system that regulates the amount of fuel?
Th main metering jet
Altitude boosted means?
A system in which sea level pressure is maintained as an aircraft climbs
Ground boosted means?
A system that is able to provide greater than sea level pressure to an aircraft on the ground at sea level.
Intercooler is used to?
Decrease the intake air temperature
The term used that is similar to full throttle height, but use in the case of supercharged engines?
Rated altitude
Is a supercharge internal or external?
Internal
Is a turbo charge internal or external?
External
