3. What tool do you use to install a high-pressure/high-temperature V-band clamp to ensure it is aligned and sealed properly?

Explanation

A rawhide mallet is used to install a high-pressure/high-temperature V-band clamp because it is a soft-faced hammer that provides a controlled and gentle impact. The soft rawhide material prevents damage to the clamp and ensures that it is aligned and sealed properly without causing any deformation or distortion. Using a rawhide mallet allows for precise installation of the clamp, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.

Submit
4. Which component stops the flow of air to the air-conditioning system?

Explanation

The system shutoff valve is the component that stops the flow of air to the air-conditioning system. This valve is responsible for completely closing off the air supply, preventing any air from entering the system. By shutting off the flow of air, the system shutoff valve helps to control the operation of the air-conditioning system and ensures that it only functions when needed.

Submit
5. If electrical power is interrupted to the solenoid of an electricity controlled, pneumatically operated air-conditioning system shutoff valve with a fail-safe feature, the valve

Explanation

If electrical power is interrupted to the solenoid of the shutoff valve, the valve will open and close depending on the design requirements of the system. This means that the valve may either open or close when the power is interrupted, depending on how the system is designed to function in such situations.

Submit
6. After replacing a bleed air system air-conditioning airflow regulator fusible plug, you must also reset the

Explanation

After replacing a bleed air system air-conditioning airflow regulator fusible plug, you must also reset the pneumatic switch. The pneumatic switch controls the flow of air in the system. When the fusible plug is replaced, it is necessary to reset the pneumatic switch to ensure proper functioning of the air-conditioning system. This will allow the air to flow correctly and maintain the desired temperature in the aircraft.

Submit
7. While installing a bleed air system bolted flanged duct end, use a metal or fiber gasket align the flange, and insert the bottom bolts first to form a cradle. Then, you install the remaining bolts and tighten all the nuts. After the installation is complete, you perform an operational check that reveals a leak. From the above information, what important procedure was overlooked?

Explanation

The important procedure that was overlooked is that the flange bolts were not torqued in the proper sequence. This means that the bolts were not tightened in the correct order, which could have resulted in uneven pressure distribution and ultimately led to the leak in the system.

Submit
8. The amount of airflow through a pressure limiter is affected by each of these except

Explanation

The amount of airflow through a pressure limiter is affected by the inlet pressure, inlet temperature, and differential pressure. However, the outlet pressure does not affect the airflow.

Submit
9. The butterfly valve of the air-conditioning pressure limiter is open when

Explanation

When there is not enough pressure applied to the system, the butterfly valve of the air-conditioning pressure limiter remains open. This means that the valve allows airflow to pass through it, as there is insufficient pressure to close it.

Submit
10. The flow control valve in the bleed air air-conditioning system controls flow by maintaining a constant differential pressure between the

Explanation

The correct answer is "inlet and throat of the venturi". In a bleed air air-conditioning system, the flow control valve is responsible for controlling the flow of air. It does this by maintaining a constant differential pressure between the inlet and throat of the venturi. This means that the valve adjusts the flow rate to ensure that there is a consistent pressure difference between these two points. By doing so, the valve can regulate the airflow and ensure that the system operates efficiently.

Submit
11. The lockout butterfly of the airflow regulator has an offset center of rotation. Towards which position does this design give the butterfly unbalanced pressure?

Explanation

The lockout butterfly of the airflow regulator has an offset center of rotation. This means that when the butterfly is in the closed position, the offset center of rotation creates an unbalanced pressure on the butterfly. Therefore, the design gives the butterfly unbalanced pressure when it is in the closed position.

Submit
12. If the source pressure drops below the bleed air pressure regulator setting

Explanation

When the source pressure drops below the bleed air pressure regulator setting, the pressure regulator closes. This means that it stops regulating the pressure and allows all available air pressure to be supplied to the flow control valve. As a result, the flow control valve receives maximum air pressure, allowing it to control and regulate the flow of air effectively. This ensures that the air-conditioning system can operate in a low-flow mode, where the flow of air is adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the system.

Submit
13. What engine air valve prevents air from being lost through the engine when it is shutdown?

Explanation

The engine air valve that prevents air from being lost through the engine when it is shutdown is called the shutoff valve. This valve is designed to close off the air supply to the engine, ensuring that no air escapes when the engine is not in use. By preventing air loss, the shutoff valve helps to maintain the integrity and efficiency of the engine system.

Submit
14. Bleed air is usually taken from which aircraft engine section?

Explanation

Bleed air is usually taken from the compressor section of an aircraft engine. The compressor is responsible for compressing incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. Bleed air is extracted from the compressor at various stages and used for various purposes, such as cabin pressurization, anti-icing, and operating pneumatic systems.

Submit
15. What is the approximate pressure and maximum temperature of engine bleed air as it is tapped from the engine compression section?

Explanation

The approximate pressure and maximum temperature of engine bleed air as it is tapped from the engine compression section is 200 psi and 900F.

Submit
16. Which bleed air system component modulates to maintain a constant downstream air pressure?

Explanation

The airflow regulator is responsible for modulating the bleed air system to maintain a constant downstream air pressure. It adjusts the airflow to ensure that the pressure remains consistent, regardless of any fluctuations in the system. This component plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and efficiency of the bleed air system.

Submit
17. Which component determines the amount of bleed air bled from a gas turbine compressor (GTC)?

Explanation

The load control valve determines the amount of bleed air bled from a gas turbine compressor (GTC). This valve regulates the flow of bleed air based on the load requirements of the system. By adjusting the position of the valve, the amount of bleed air can be controlled to meet the specific needs of the system, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The other options listed, such as the thermocouple, fuel control valve, and bleed air control governor, are not directly responsible for determining the amount of bleed air bled from the compressor.

Submit
18. What is the bleed air system component that controls the airflow by protecting downstream components from excessive pressure?

Explanation

A pressure limiter is a component in the bleed air system that controls the airflow by protecting downstream components from excessive pressure. It limits the pressure to a safe level, preventing damage to the system and ensuring that the airflow is regulated properly. This component is crucial in maintaining the overall integrity and functionality of the bleed air system.

Submit
19. Due to a loss of energy, the pressure is

Explanation

At h3, the pressure is slightly reduced. This is because as the fluid flows through the throat, there is a decrease in the cross-sectional area, causing an increase in the fluid velocity according to Bernoulli's principle. As the fluid velocity increases, the pressure decreases. Therefore, at h3, where the fluid has passed through the throat, the pressure is slightly reduced compared to the throat.

Submit
20. Which air-conditioning component reduces high-pressure engine bleed air to a lower constant pressure for the flow control valve?

Explanation

A pressure regulator is a component in an air-conditioning system that reduces high-pressure engine bleed air to a lower constant pressure for the flow control valve. This helps to maintain a consistent pressure and prevent damage to the system. The pressure regulator ensures that the air flow is controlled and regulated effectively, allowing for optimal performance of the air-conditioning system.
