  Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Exhaust Systems

  muffler is heated by the exiting exhaust gases and, in turn, heats the air around the muffler. This heated air is then ducted to the cabin for heat and defrost applications. The heat and defrost are controlled in the flight ... deck and can be adjusted to the desired level. Exhaust gases contain large amounts of carbon monoxide, which is odorless and colorless. Carbon monoxide is deadly, and its presence is virtually impossible to detect. To ensure that exhaust gases…

  Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Heating System › Exhaust Heating Systems

  Exhaust Heating Systems Exhaust heating systems are the simplest type of aircraft heating system and are used on most light aircraft. Exhaust heating systems are used to route exhaust gases away from the engine and fuselage while reducing engine noise ... exhaust systems also serve as a heat source for the cabin and carburetor. The risks of operating an aircraft with a defective exhaust heating system include carbon monoxide poisoning, a decrease in engine performance, and an increased potential for fire…

  discharge to compressor inlet pressure. Pressure measurements are recorded by probes installed in the engine inlet and at the exhaust. Once collected, the data is sent to a differential pressure transducer, which is indicated on a flight deck EPR gauge ... altitude. Changes in ambient temperature require a correction be applied to EPR indications to provide accurate engine power settings. Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) A limiting factor in a gas turbine engine is the temperature of the turbine section. The temperature…

If a strong odor of exhaust gases is detected, assume that ... present. However, CO may be present in dangerous amounts even if no exhaust odor is detected. Disposable, inexpensive CO detectors are widely available. In the presence of CO, these detectors change color to alert the pilot of the presence…

  Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Superchargers and Turbosuperchargers › System Operation

  When closed, most of the exhaust gases from the engine are forced to flow through the turbine. When open, the exhaust gases are allowed to bypass the turbine by flowing directly out through the engine’s exhaust pipe. [Figure…

Figure 10-49 shows the pressures at the intake and exhaust ports under two different sets of operating conditions. In one case, the engine is operating…
