Record 1 2008-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A restrictor used to limit the flow of hydraulic fluid where it is desirable to retard the action of a hydraulic cylinder in both directions.

OBS

Two-way restrictors, regardless of whether they are of the machined orifice type or of the plate orifice type, operate identically. Fluid entering either port is filtered prior to flowing through the orifice, thus protecting the orifice from possible stoppage. As the fluid is metered through the orifice, the prescribed rate flow is directed out the opposite port of the restrictor and to the actuating unit.

Key term(s)
  • two way restrictor

Record 2 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.
