A system that combines the use of hydraulics and pneumatics is known by what term?
|
Hydropneumatics.
|
|
Hydraulic flight control system design specifications require what total number of separate systems for operation of the primary flight controls?
|
Two.
|
|
What type of hydraulic system has fluid flow but no pressure in the system when the actuating mechanisms are idle?
|
An open-center system.
|
|
What is the major difference between an open-center hydraulic system and a closed-center hydraulic system?
|
The closed-center hydraulic systems selector or directional control valves are arranged in parallel and not in series.
|
|
What is the advantage of the open-center hydraulic system over the closed-center hydraulic system?
|
Continuous pressurization of the system is eliminated.
|
|
The hydraulic control valves and actuators that operate the primary flight controls are of what type construction?
|
Tandem construction.
|
|
There are a total of how many classes of hydraulic reservoirs?
|
Two.
|
|
The fluid quantity of a non-pressurized reservoir is indicated by a float and arm
liquidometer. The liquidometer is operated by what means? |
Mechanically operated.
|
|
In an air-pressurized reservoir, the fluid quantity is indicated by what means?
|
The distance the piston rod protrudes from the reservoir end cap.
|
|
Hydraulic systems that require the use of hand pumps are classified as what type of system?
|
Emergency systems.
|
|
What type of hydraulic pump does not require the use of external pressure regulators or unloading valves?
|
Variable displacement pumps.
|
|
What type of hydraulic pump is usually driven by a dc wound electric motor?
|
Gear-type pump.
|
|
The piston-type pump (Stratopower variable displacement), Model 65WB06006, rated at
3,000 psi is capable of delivering how many gallons of fluid per minute? |
13 gallons of fluid per minute at 3,800 rpm.
|
|
Why are relief valves installed in aircraft hydraulic systems?
|
To relieve excessive pressurized fluid caused from thermal expansion, pressure surges, and the failure of a hydraulic pump’s compensator or other regulating devices.
|
|
To increase the opening pressure of a thermal relief valve, what action must you take?
|
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
|
|
In a hydraulic system, what is the purpose of the motor-operated shutoff valve?
|
To shut off the flow of hydraulic fluid to the engine in case of an engine fire.
|
|
What is the maximum allowable temperature for any type of military aircraft hydraulic system?
|
400°F.
|
|
A radiator-type hydraulic fluid cooler uses what medium for cooling?
|
Engine fuel.
|
|
What component is used to conserve space and provide a means where common fluid lines may come together?
|
A manifold.
|
|
What are the three basic units of a hydraulic filter assembly?
|
A head assembly, a bowl, and a filter element.
|
|
What type of noncleanable filter element is used on most naval aircraft?
|
5 micron (absolute).
|
|
The differential pressure indicator on a filter assembly is reset by what means once the button is extended?
|
Manually.
|
|
To prevent fluid loss when the bowl has been removed, most filter assemblies incorporate
what item in the head? |
An automatic shutoff valve.
|
|
How many general types of accumulators are used on naval aircraft?
|
Two.
|
|
What is the correct method to preload an accumulator?
|
Pressurize the fluid chamber with compressed air to a predetermined charge.
|
|
To indicate the amount of pressure in a hydraulic system, naval aircraft use what two types of pressure gauges?
|
Direct reading and synchro (electric) type.
|
|
What component is used to damper out system pressure surges that could cause possible damage to gauges and pressure transmitters and prevent cockpit hydraulic indicators from oscillating and fluctuating?
|
A gauge and pressure transmitter snubber or snubbers.
|
|
What are the three methods currently used for driving emergency system pumps on naval aircraft?
|
Electric-motor driven, ram-air turbine driven, or hand-operated.
|
|
What component initiates extension of the ram-air turbine assembly?
|
A spring-loaded turbine actuator.
|
|
A chemical air dryer cartridge is NOT contaminated when it is what color?
|
Blue.
