contaminated with exhaust gases. The heated air from the shell goes to the cabin heating, defrosting, and anti-icing system. Augmentors use exhaust gas velocity to cause airflow over the engine so that cooling is not entirely dependent ... closed to increase the heat for cabin or anti-icing use or to prevent the engine from cooling too much during descent from altitude. In addition to augmentors, some aircraft have residual heat doors or nacelle flaps that are used…

Reciprocating Engine Cooling System Maintenance The engine cooling system of most reciprocating engines usually consists of the engine cowling, cylinder baffles, cylinder fins, and some use a type of cowl flaps. In addition to these major units, there are also ... some temperature-indicating systems, such as cylinder head temperature, oil temperature, and exhaust gas temperature. The cowling performs two functions: 1. It streamlines the bulky engine to reduce drag. 2. It forms an envelope around the engine that forces…

Induction System Troubleshooting Figure 3-8 provides a general guide to the most common induction system troubles. Supercharged Induction Systems Since aircraft operate at altitudes where the air pressure is lower, it is useful to provide ... for compressing the air-fuel mixture. Some systems are used to normalize the air pressure entering the engine. These systems are used to regain the air pressure lost by the increase in altitude. This type of system…
