Record 2 2009-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The main stage discharge fuel flows to the FMU(flow metering unit), which provides metered fuel through the fuel flow transmitter to the distribution valve and onward through the manifolds to the injectors in the combustion chamber.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

Le carburant est alors refoulé par la pompe vers le dispositif de dosage de carburant (FMU), qui fournit, à travers le débitmètre, un flux de carburant dosé à la vanne de répartition, et de là, dans les rampes d'alimentation des injecteurs situés dans la chambre de combustion.

Record 3 2000-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

A supercharger which is located between the carburetor outlet and the intake manifold of the engine is called an internal supercharger. A supercharger thus located serves to provide a uniform distribution of the fuel-air charge to the various cylinders, as well as to increase the density of the charge. Maintaining a high manifold pressure ahead of the intake valves allows the use of "valve overlap" in the engine, so that the intake valve opens just before the exhaust valve closes at the end of the exhaust stroke. This allows the compressed mixture from the intake manifold to scavenge the spent gases out of the clearance volume of the cylinder and also tends to improve the cooling of the exhaust valve. This cooling is of particular importance when operating at "military" or "take-off" power. With no supercharging between the carburetor and the intake valves, "valve overlapping" would permit exhaust gases to flow back into the intake manifold. This would cause backfiring and dilution of the next charge of mixture with burned exhaust gases.

OBS

There is another difference between internally driven superchargers and turbochargers... The internal supercharger compresses the fuel/air mixture after it leaves the carburetor or fuel metering device, while the turbocharger compresses the air before it is mixed with metered fuel.

Record 7 1988-02-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Scientific and Technical Vocabulary
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Fuel has to be taken from the tanks and its pressure raised for injection into the combustion system, it has to be metered and its flow rate closely controlled to give changes in thrust as quickly as is compatible with maintaining surge-free operation or avoiding a flame-out.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vocabulaire technique et scientifique général
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

Le carburant doit être puisé dans les réservoirs et sa pression doit être accrue pour l'injection dans le système de combustion, sa quantité et son débit doivent être mesurés et contrôlés avec précision pour obtenir les variations de poussée voulues aussi vite que possible tout en assurant un fonctionnement sans à-coups et en évitant l'extinction.
