- Chapter 6: Lubrication & Cooling Systems › Turbine Engine Lubrication Systems
Turbine Engine Lubrication Systems Both wet- and dry-sump lubrication systems are used in gas turbine engines. Wet-sump engines store the lubricating oil in the engine proper, while dry-sump engines utilize an external tank mounted on the engine ... somewhere in the aircraft structure near the engine, similar to reciprocating piston engines mentioned earlier. Turbine engine’s oil systems can also be classified as a pressure relief system that maintains a somewhat constant pressure: the full flow type…
- Chapter 3: Induction & Exhaust Systems › Basic Carburetor Induction System › Induction System Icing
Induction System Icing A short discussion concerning the formation and location of induction system ice is helpful, even though a technician is not normally concerned with operations that occur when the aircraft is in flight. [Figure 3-7] Technicians should ... know something about induction system icing because of its effect on engine performance and troubleshooting. Even when an inspection shows that everything is in proper working order and the engine performs perfectly on the ground, induction system ice can cause…
- Chapter 3. ICING EFFECTS, PROTECTION, AND DETECTION › 3-5. ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS › a. Bleed Air Systems
Bleed Air Systems. Bleed air systems are used for larger areas of the aircraft, such as engine nacelles and wing leading edges. Bleed air from turbine engines is the most common type of anti-icing protection for engine nacelles ... piccolo tubes, which consist of a perforated pipe installed directly behind the airplane’s skin. Such hot air systems are quite effective in preventing the formation of ice. NOTE: One drawback of a hot air system is that tapping…
