  • Stationary Airport Facilities
  • Oil and Gas Distribution Facilities
CONT

The hydrant system consists of the same elements as the fuel pits, except that the pit is replaced by a special valve.

CONT

When a hydrant fuelling system is being considered, maximum parking flexibility and balance between this facility and other support equipment installations will be achieved.

  • Installations fixes d'aéroport
  • Install. de distrib. (Pétrole et gaz naturel)
DEF

Système fixe de distribution de carburant sur les aéroports.

DEF

CONT

La distribution par canalisations (souvent appelée hydrant-system) utilise des bouches de prise encastrées dans l'aire de trafic auxquelles le carburant arrive sous faible pression.

OBS

Record 2 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

Normal fuelling is accomplished through dual fuel nozzle adapters located on the right wing leading edge spar at the fuelling stations. All fuelling operations, except fuel pump control, are accomplished at the fuelling station. Opening the station access door applies DC power to the fuelling system and removes the N3 inhibit to the centre tank fuel pumps. Fuel flows through the dual nozzles to pressurise a fuelling manifold. Fuelling valves control the flow of fuel from the fuelling manifold into each of the three switches on the fuelling panel. A fuel quantity may be preselected for each tank. The fuelling valves close automatically when the preselected quantity is reached or when the tank is full, whichever occurs first. A tank overfill system is provided to prevent fuel spillage. If any fuel is sensed in the surge tanks during fuelling, a signal is sent to close all fuelling valves. The aircraft is filled automatically by hydrant or tank truck pressure. All tanks may be fuelled at the same time. The main tanks may also be fuelled manually through over wing fill ports. There are no over wing fill ports for the centre tank.

Key term(s)
  • fueling station
  • fueling bay

CONT

Chaque raccord de remplissage de réservoir de carburant doit empêcher la pénétration de carburant dans toute partie de l'avion autre que le réservoir lui-même. De plus, [chaque] raccord de remplissage encastré qui peut recueillir une quantité appréciable de carburant doit avoir un drain qui assure un écoulement sans mouiller l'avion, [chaque] bouchon de prise de remplissage doit comporter un joint étanche au carburant, et [chaque] point de remplissage carburant, à l'exception des points de raccord de remplissage de carburant sous pression, doit être aménagé pour relier électriquement l'avion à l'équipement de remplissage de carburant au sol.
