Q

What effect would carb-heat have on the air/fuel mixture ?

A
  • Carb-heat heats the air
  • Heated air has less density
  • The same volume of heated air will gave less oxygen than Colleen air

Q

What happens when an aircraft climbs altitude?

A
  • Mass of air will decrease with altitude, air becomes less dense
  • The same volume of air at altitude will have less oxygen than air at sea-level
  • Power reduction

Q

What is Manifold Pressure?

A

Is the pressure in the intake manifold of the engine.

Weight of the fuel/air mixture entering the engine cylinders is measured by manifold pressure and the temperature of the mixture

Q

What is the relationship between MAP and HP ?

A

Directly proportional, as manifold pressure increases, so does horse power

20
Q

What are the two main purpose for turbo-charging?

A
  • Maintain the sea-level horse Power to altitude

- Increase sea-level horse power

21
Q

Critical altitude is ?

A

The maximum altitude which sea-level horsepower can be maintained

22
Q

Boosted manifold pressure is any pressure above ?

23
Q

Super chargers are ___________ driven blowers

A

Engine

Mechanical-gear or belt

24
Q

Turbochargers are _______________ driven blowers?

A

Exhaust gas

25
Excessive manifold pressure will result in ?
Rise in temperature of the charge and result in detonation if not controlled
26
What is the difference between single stage- single speed supercharger; and single stage-two speed supercharger?
The speed of the blower can be changed on the single stage-tow speed supercharger for altitude operation
27
Where Turbochargers are located?
Between the air intake and the fuel metering device
28
What is upper deck pressure
Pressure after the blower but before throttle
29
What is the purpose of the intercooler?
To reduce the temperature of the fuel/air mixture
30
What are the 2 types of turbochargers systems ?
- Normalized - works at higher altitudes not sea-level ( compensate for loss power at altitude) - Ground boosted-sea level up to critical altitude
31
What is the purpose of the waste-gate valve ?
Control the amount of exhaust gas to the turbo system
32
There is an oil flow restriction in the waste-Gate actuator, this restriction is located in the ?
Inlet of the waste-Gate actuator
33
Automatic waste gate control main parts ?
- Waste Gate actuator - Absolute pressure controller - Pressure Ratio Controller - Rate of change controller
34
How waste actuator is controlled?
Spring pressure to open , oil pressure to close
35
Maximum altitude a turbocharged engine can produce its rated horsepower ?
Critical altitude
36
What is the upper pressure ?
From the compressor to the throttle
37
The absolute Pressure controller functions to limit?
The maximum upper deck pressure
38
To provide additional protection against an over boost condition many systems use a ?
Pressure relief valve
39
The rate of the change controller functions to?
Limit the upper deck pressure from 2.0 to 6.5 HG/SEC m, to reduce turbine acceleration overboost
40
The pressure controller setting is _______ times ambient pressure :
2.2 times ambient nacelle pressure
41
Proper operation of the ratio controller can be determined only by flying the aircraft through?
16.000 feet density altitude
42
The APC, rate of change and pressure ratio controllers, control de oil flow trough the waste gate actuator by sensing ?
Upper deck pressure
43
The APC( absolute pressure controller) rate of change and pressure ratio controllers are connected by ?
Parallel
44
The teledyne continental fuel injection pump uses and aneroid bellows to sense the upper deck pressure to prevent ?
An overly rich mixture upon rapid acceleration
45
Density controller vs APC
- Density controller- limit max MP - sense density -APC -limit Max MP- sense the pressure
46
Differential pressure controller vs VAPC
-Differential Pressure Limits UDP to 6.5 “HG above the select MAP Sense the UDP and MAP -VAPC Limits UDP to 2” Hg above selected MAP Mechanical cam lobe to throttle setting
