gte2 Flashcards
most turbine oil is compatible with other oils that meet the same military specification.
Compabilty
essential for the life of engines with carbon seals that lubricant properties prevent wear of the carbon at the carbon seal face
Seal wear
has a relatively low maximum vapor pressure compared to automotive gasoline, only 7 psi.
AVGAS
these are chelating agents and chemical compounds
Meta deactivator
can be added to the bulk fuel and also directly into the aircraft fuel tank, usually during refueling.
*These are basically diethylene glycol solutions that work as antifreeze.
Fuel anti ice additives
engines store the lubricating oil in the engine proper
Wet sump
engines utilize an external tank mounted on the engine or somewhere in the aircraft structure near the engine, similar to reciprocating piston engines mentioned earlier.
Dry sump
Reffered to as secondary airflow
Air cooling
Although the dry-sump systems use an oil tank that contains most of the oil supply, a small sump is usually included on the engine to hold a small supply of oil
Oil tank
designed to supply oil under pressure
Oil pump
discharge side of the pump limits the output pressure of the pump
A regulating relief valve
they remove foreign particles that may be in the oil.
Turbine oil filter
type system that keeps the pressure fairly constant.
Oil pressure regulating valve
A relief valve is used to relieve pressure only if it exceeds the maximum limit for the system.
Oil pressure relief valve
measures the pressure of the lubricant as it leaves the pump and enters the pressure system.
Oil pressure gauge
