ATPL Lets Explore More About Hydraulics Flashcards

ATPL lets explore more about hydraulics. Hydraulic energy is present in three forms of energy, which include kinetic, potential, and heat energy. To help you learn more about how hydraulics work and its history, we have prepared the easy to understand flashcards below. How about you give it a try and get to see how well you will do.

The term 'jack stalling' means
Air pressure is preventing full extension of the jack
Compared to hydraulic actuating systems, pneumatic systems of the same operating pressure
Exert less force
In a hydraulic system with an operating pressure of 3000 psi, an actuator measuring 10 inches by 10 inches would exert a force of
300000
A restrictor valve is fitted to the landing gear hydraulic system of a large jet aircraft is to
Prevent hydraulic cavitation during gear extension
Where in the hydraulic system is the restrictor valve located
In the return line of the gear extension system
Restrictor valve
Limits the speed of operation of the actuator in one direction
Two types of hydraulic pumps
Constant displacementconstant pressure (variable displacement)
Which type of pump requires the use of a pressure regulator
Only constant displacement pumps as variable displacement pumps are able to vary fluid output
Operating pressure of hydraulic system in large aircraft
3000 psi
When used to operate powered controls, large aircraft hydraulic systems require
An artificial feel system
Where is the pressure regulator located in a hydraulic system
After the pump
The pressure accumulators purposes are
To provide emergency pressure in the event of a pump failureto smooth out pressure variations in the linesreduce knocking and hammering
Shuttle valves
Allow the alternate system to pressurise the lines and provide system operation
Priority valves
Automatically shut off supply to non-essential services in the event of a hydraulic fluid leak
Two types of hydraulic systems
Constant delivery typeconstant pressure type
