2、designed to provide instruction on the concept and operation of the basic components of the hydraulic system. It also describes the various components of a typical hydraulic system, their construction and functions, and their relationship to each other.When the term hydraulics is applied to aircraft

3、, it means a method of transmitting power from one location to another through the use of a confined fluid. The functions performed by hydraulic systems in aircraft include assisting in flight control, extending and retracting landing gear, positioning flaps, operating hoists, raising and lowering c

16、CTIONA means of storing hydraulic fluid and minimizing contamination is necessary to any aircraft hydraulic system. These functions are performed by reservoirs and filters. The component which causes fluid flow in a hydraulic system-the heart of any hydraulic system-can be a hand pump, power-driven

17、pump, accumulator, or any combination of the three. Finally, a means of converting hydraulic pressure to mechanical rotation is sometimes necessary, and this is accomplished by a hydraulic motor.HYDRAULIC RESERVOIRSThe hydraulic reservoir is a container for holding the fluid required to supply the s

18、ystem, including a reserve to cover any losses from minor leakage and evaporation. The reservoir can be designed to provide space for fluid expansion, permit air entrained in the fluid to escape, and to help cool the fluid. Figure 1-1 shows two typical reservoirs. Compare the two reservoirs item by

19、item and, except for the filters and bypass valve, notice the similarities.Filling reservoirs to the top during servicing leaves no space for expansion. Most reservoirs are designed with the rim at the filler neck below the top of the reservoir to prevent overfilling. Some means of checking the flui

20、d level is usually provided on a reservoir. This may be a glass or plastic sight gage, a tube, or a dipstick. Hydraulic reservoirs are either vented to the atmosphere or closed to the atmosphere and pressurized. A description of each type follows.Vented Reservoir. A vented reservoir is one that is o

21、pen to atmospheric pressure through a vent line. Because atmospheric pressure and gravity are the forces which cause the fluid to flow to the pump, a vented reservoir is mounted at the highest point in the hydraulic system. Air is drawn into and exhausted from the reservoir through a vent line. A fi

22、lter is usually installed in the vent line to prevent foreign material from being taken into the system.Pressurized Reservoir. A pressurized reservoir is sealed from the atmosphere. This reservoir is pressurized either by engine bleed air or by hydraulic pressure produced within the hydraulic system

23、 itself. Pressurized reservoirs are used on aircraft intended for high altitude flight, where atmospheric pressure is not enough to cause fluid flow to the pump.In reservoirs pressurized by engine bleed air, the amount of air pressure is determined by an air pressure regulator-usually 10 to 15 pound

24、s per square inch (psi) gage. An example of a 2 AL0926hydraulically pressurized reservoir used in the CH-47 hydraulic system is shown in Figure 1-2.This reservoir, or tank as it is referred to by Boeing-Vertol, is constructed of a metal housing with two internal pistons, one fixed and the other a fl

25、oating piston which slides along a central tube. Attached to the floating piston is a larger tube that projects through the forward end of the tank and is calibrated to indicate FULL and REFILL fluid levels for ramp-up and ramp-down positions.Figure 1-1. Typical Hydraulic Reservoirs.Hydraulic fluid

26、at 3,000 psi flows into the central tube as shown in Figure 1-2, passes through two outlet holes, and applies pressure at the piston area between the two tubes. Because the smaller piston has a .5-square-inch (sq in) exposed surface and the floating piston has a 30-sq-in exposed surface, the 3,000-p

27、si pressure acting upon the smaller forward area produces an opposing pressure of 50 psi on the return fluid stored at the rear of the piston. 3 AL0926Additional Reservoir Components. Many reservoirs, as shown in Figure 1-1, are constructed with baffles or fins to keep the fluid from swirling and fo

28、aming. Foaming can cause air to become entrained in the system.Filters are incorporated in some reservoirs to filter the fluid before it leaves the reservoir.A bypass valve is used to ensure that the pump does not starve if the filter becomes clogged.A standpipe is used in a reservoir which supplies

29、 a normal and an emergency system. The main system draws its fluid from the standpipe, which is located at a higher elevation. This ensures an adequate fluid supply to the secondary system if the main system fails.Figure 1-2. Hydraulic Reservoir Pressurized With Hydraulic Fluid.HYDRAULIC FILTERConta

30、mination of hydraulic fluid is one of the common causes of hydraulic system troubles. Installing filter units in the pressure and return lines of a hydraulic system allows 4 AL0926contamination to be removed from the fluid before it reaches the various operating components. Filters of this type are

31、referred to as line filters.Line Filter Construction. A typical line filter is shown in Figure 1-3. It has two major parts-the filter case, or bowl, and the filter head. The bowl holds the head that screws into it. The head has an inlet port, outlet port, and relief valve. Normal fluid flow is throu

32、gh the inlet port, around the outside of the element, through the element to the inner chamber, and out through the outlet port. The bypass valve lets the fluid bypass the filter element if it becomes clogged.Figure 1-3. Typical Line Filter Assembly.Types of Filter Elements. The most common filtering element used on Army aircraft is the micronic type. It is a disposable unit made of treated cellulose and is for
