Describe the operation of an anti-g system
|
As high-g conditions occur, the anti-g valves activating weight is forced down to close the exhaust valve and open the demand valve. This allows cooled engine bleed air from the refrigeration system service heat exchanger to flow through the anti-g valve, where it is regulated, to inflate the g-suit. Pressure to the g-suit
is varied in proportion to the g-force acting upon the aircraft and crewmembers, to a maximum of 10 psi. As g-forces decrease, the activating weight is forced upward by spring tension. This reduces the pressure of the airflow to the g-suit and exhausts excess suit pressure into the cabin. As this occurs, the demand valve closes, blocking air from the g-suit. |
