Regulated air pressure.
Correct Answer
A. Rapid expansion.Explanation
The moisture in the conditioned air is removed by the aircraft bleed air system water separators through rapid expansion. When the air expands rapidly, its temperature drops, causing the moisture to condense and separate from the air. This process allows the system to remove 70 to 85 percent of the accumulated moisture and provide dry air for the aircraft's systems.Rate this question:

- C.
Outlet temperature above 32°.
- D.
Outlet temperature below 32°.
Correct Answer
C. Outlet temperature above 32°.Explanation
The aircraft bleed air system water separator anti-icing system prevents the condenser bag from icing by keeping the outlet temperature above 32°. This means that the system is designed to ensure that the temperature of the air leaving the system is above freezing point, which prevents the formation of ice on the condenser bag.Rate this question:

(607) This bleed air system component causes the aircraft’s cooling turbine to slow down when an icing condition occurs.
- A.
Anti-icing valve.
- B.
Ice control screen.
- C.
Anti-icing controller.
- D.
Turbine bypass valve.
Correct Answer
B. Ice control screen.Explanation
The ice control screen is the correct answer because it is a component of the bleed air system that helps to prevent ice formation. When an icing condition occurs, the ice control screen works by filtering out ice particles from the air before it enters the cooling turbine. This prevents the turbine from becoming clogged or damaged, allowing it to continue operating at the correct speed. Therefore, the ice control screen plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and safety of the aircraft's cooling system during icing conditions.Rate this question:

(608) Before the conditioned air enters the crew area of a fighter aircraft, it goes through a final cooling stage in the
- A.
Expansion turbine.
- B.
Compressor turbine.
- C.
Primary heat exchanger.
- D.
Secondary heat exchanger.
Correct Answer
A. Expansion turbine.Explanation
The conditioned air in a fighter aircraft goes through a final cooling stage in the expansion turbine. This turbine helps to further cool the air before it enters the crew area. This is important to ensure that the air is at a comfortable temperature for the crew members. The expansion turbine works by expanding the air, which causes it to cool down. This cooling process helps to remove any excess heat from the air, making it suitable for the crew area.Rate this question:

- A.
Defog valve.
- B.
Anti-ice valve.
- C.
Water separator.
- D.
Cabin dual-temperature mixing valve.
Correct Answer
B. Anti-ice valve.Explanation
The correct answer is the Anti-ice valve. This component is responsible for removing excessive moisture from conditioned air in order to prevent it from reaching the cockpit of a fighter aircraft. This is important because excessive moisture can cause fogging on the aircraft's windshield, obstructing the pilot's view and potentially compromising safety. The Anti-ice valve helps to maintain clear visibility by preventing moisture from reaching the cockpit.Rate this question:
