The sound produced by compressor surge is called turbo flutter and the repeated, high speed cycling will cause a cyclic torque on the compressor and may lead to increased stresses on the bearings and compressor impeller. [2] A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed.
The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls. A jammed actuator may be freed simply by cleaning it. However an actuator that has stopped working due to a fault in its servomotor will need replacement. Air leaks in either the stepper housing or pipes will cause elevated idle RPM.
Hydromechanical: A combination of a flyweight governor and several sensors including compressor discharge pressure, burner can pressure, and exhaust pipe pressure. In some cases the engine's fuel pump is integrated in to the fuel control. Electronic engine control (EEC): An EEC is essentially a hydromechanical fuel control but with added ...
The Ford EEC (Electronic Engine Control) system, which utilized the Toshiba TLCS-12 microprocessor, went into mass production in 1975. [ 7 ] The first Bosch engine management system was the Motronic 1.0 , which was introduced in the 1979 BMW 7 Series (E23) [ 8 ] This system was based on the existing Bosch Jetronic fuel injection system, to ...
Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...
Idle speed, sometimes simply called "idle", is the rotational speed an engine runs at when the engine is idling, that is when the engine is uncoupled from the drivetrain and the throttle pedal is not depressed. In combustion engines, idle speed is generally measured in revolutions per minute (rpm) of the crankshaft.
Fine: $1.9 million (combined) The Denver Broncos faced $1.9 million in fines in 2001 and 2004 for circumventing the NFL’s salary cap during the mid-1990s. The violations were tied to deferred ...
Compressor surge is a particular problem during slam-accelerations and can be overcome by suitable adjustments to the fueling schedule and/or use of blow-off (bleeding air off the compressor, for handling purposes). In the particular example shown, a slam-acceleration from ground idle would cause a high-pressure compressor surge.
