Q

What are the two purposes of hydraulic reservoir?

Study These Flashcards
A

. Compensate for variations in amount of hyduakid fluid needed from systems
. Keeps reserve of hydraulic fluid incase of a leaks

20
Q

Where would you use static seals?

Study These Flashcards
A

Static seal - used to seal against steady or pulsating pressures

21
Q

What is used to prevent hyduakic fluid moving upwards if regret is a sudden loss of pressure?
(Stops sloshing)

Study These Flashcards
A

A sheet metal baffle

22
Q

When is the drain valve located on resivour?

Study These Flashcards
A

Lowest part to allow emptying

23
Q

Why is the hydraulic reservoir pressurised?

Study These Flashcards
A

To ensure a positive supply of hydualic fluid always reaches the pumps

Prevents, foaming, evaporation, cavitation

24
Q

What colour hydraulic system does electrical pump produce?

Study These Flashcards
A

Blue hydraulic system

25
Once the RAT push button is activated in cockpit how long till it deploys?
Less than 1 second
26
What is the purpose of the priority valve?
Closes the hydraulic circuit ti different users when there is a very high demand in system (Not part of manifold)
27
What does an accumulator do?
Acts as a damper to smooth out pressure fluctuation in the system caused by sudden user demand
28
Where is the sampling valve for fluid sampling located and what is the purpose of it?
. A sampling valve is located in the HP manifold . Checks for water contamination no reduction in fluid performance
29
When doing a leak test, what does it test for and where does it not test?
Tests in main user components such as flight controls Does not test pressurisation or distribution components
30
What pressure do the resivours run at?
50 psi
31
What is the hydraulic system measured in?
Bar
32
What connects reservoir to pumps?
Supply lines
33
What hydaulic fluid is better?
Synethic
34
What psi do vertical displacement pumps run at?
3000psi
35
Why do we need filters?
Stops FOD damaging components Filters also have a screen device
36
When a leak is detected what shuts the valve?
A leak measurement solenoid valve
37
What differs the fixed displacement pump and the variable pump?
Variable has a wobble plate which means the angle of wobble can be changed Fixed doesn’t
38
Where is the depressurised valve located?
At ground service panel
39
Where is the quantity transmitter located in the resivour and how does it operate?
. Located on the side of resivour housing . Uses calamities to measure fluid level for cockpit to see
40
What is the purpose of power transfer unit?
Another method of providing auxiliary pressurisation Transfers hydraulic power between two systems, no fluid is transferred.
41
What is another name for electric pump?
Demand pump
42
What is the leak measurement manifold connected to?
The pressure line supplying to users
43
What does the LP manifold do?
Connects all return lines into a single line going back to the reservoir
44
What does the term high pressure distribution describe?
The process of moving the pressurised fluid from hydraulic pumps to hydraulic users
45
Where would you use dynamic seals?
Dynamic seal - used to seal where stroking or rotational movements
