QUIZ

1. States the purpose of induction system.

Ans: To provide air in sufficient quantity to support normal combustion.

2. What are the classifications of induction system?

Ans:Normal Aspirated Engine, Supercharger Engine, Turbocharge Engine.

3. Name the major components of induction system.

Ans: Air intake, Air filter, Fuel delivery system, Intake manifold.

4. Name types of filter commonly used in induction system.

Ans: Flock(screen wire filled with reusable fiber),Paper filter, Polyurethane
foam filter.

5. What is the purpose of fuel delivery system?

Ans: To meter the correct amount of fuel/air mixture enters the cylinder
under al operating conditions.

6. Name the types of fuel delivery system.

Ans: Carburetor, Fuel injection.

7. Why certain engine induction manifold goes through oil

sump before go to each cylinder?

Ans: It promotes better fuel evaporation.

8. What is the purpose of distributor impeller in radial engine?

 Ans: It distributes fuel evenly to each cylinder. It does not boost the
pressure as it operates the same crankshaft speed

9. What are the most important characteristics of intake manifold?

Ans: It must maintain gas tight seal, to avoid air leakage and lean mixture.

10. Under what condition that the induction system icing generally occur?

Ans: when an aircraft is flying through the cloud, fog, rain, sleet snow or
even in clear air when humidity is high.

11. Name the classification of induction system icing.

Ans: Fuel evaporation ice/carburetor ice, throttle ice, impact ice.

12. What is fuel evaporation ice?

Ans: Caused by decrease of surrounding air temperature due to

vaporization of fuel in carburetor. In the venture, the higher the air velocity,
the lower the temperature up to 30F.

13. Under what condition that the optimum carburetor ice occurs?

Ans: It exists when outside air temperature is between 30F and 40F, and
relative humidity is above 60%.

14. In which area in induction system that impact ice is likely to occur?

Ans: Most prone and common areas are Air intake and Air filter.

15. How could the induction system icing be detected?

Ans: Fix-pitch propeller: decrease in engine power is indicating by drop in

RPM and engine roughness.
 Constant speed propeller: decrease in engine power is indicating by
decrease in manifold pressure without changing in RPM.

16. What is the purpose of Carburetor Heat System?

Ans: when placed ON, it draws the unfiltered air from engine cowling
through heater muff, the warm air then directs to carburetor air box to melt
the ice.

17. Name the methods of Induction System ice removal.

Ans: Carburetor heat system, Spray deicing fluid, Alternate air supply.

18. State the purpose of Supercharger.

Ans: a) To Increase the manifold absolute pressure above atmospheric

pressure 30 in Hg to provide high power output for takeoff.

B) To increase the weight of fuel/air mixture delivery to

engine cylinders.

c) To increase the compression pressure.

d) To sustain maximum power at high altitude.

19. Where is the Supercharger located?

Ans: Its fitted between fuel metering device and intake manifold.

20. What is the purpose of manifold pressure gauge?

Ans: The manifold pressure gauge is an engine instrument typically used in

piston aircraft engines to measure the pressure inside the induction system
of an engine

21. State the disadvantages of Supercharger?

 Ans: Supercharger consume large amount of engine power output for the
amount of power increase they produce.

22. State the purpose of Turbocharger.

Ans: To maintain an engine rated sea level horsepower up to critical

altitude.

23. Name the main parts of Turbocharger.

Ans: Compressor impeller, Compressor housing, Turbine assembly, Turbine

housing, Bearing housing.

24. In turbocharged engine, why induction air need to be cooled before entering
the cylinders?

Ans: To reduce induction air to prevent detonation.

25. What is the purpose of Intercooler (Heat Exchanger)?

Ans: To reduce induction air to prevent detonation.

26. What controls the amount of exhaust gases that flow through the
turbocharger?

Ans: The bearing.

27. Name the types of manual control system of Turbocharger.

Ans: Manual linkage, Push pulls control, Adjustable restrictor.

28. During take-off what would be the waste gate position?

Ans: Fully or nearly open.

 29. Pressure Relief Valve is fitted to prevent engine __(a)__.

Its opens when the manifold pressure rise __(b)__ psi above its rated
pressure.

Ans: a) Overboost b) 1psi

30. What are the main components that are employed in the

Turbocharger automatic control system?

Ans: a) Waste gate actuator b) Absolute pressure controller c)

Pressure ration controller d) Rate of change controller.

31. Waste gate valve is opened by __(a)__ and close by __(b)__ .

Ans: a) Spring pressure b) Oil pressure

32. What would happen to the Absolute Pressure Controller (APC) if upper deck
pressure is decreased?

Ans: a) Bellow contract b) Variable restrictor valve close c) Restrict the oil
pressure inside the actuator d) waste gate close.

33. What is the purpose of Absolute Pressure Controller (APC)?

Ans: A controller that limits the, maximum discharge pressure the

turbocharger’s compressor can build up when the aircraft is flying below its
critical altitude.

34. State the purpose of Pressure Ratio Controller?

Ans: a) It monitors both ambient and upper deck b) Prevent turbocharger

from boosting the upper deck pressure higher than 2.2 times the
atmospheric pressure.
35. What cause the oil that flows out of actuator are faster than oil flows in?

Ans: Capillary tube restrictor

36. When an engine is not running, what happen to the waste gate?

Ans: The springs hold the waste gate open.

37. As back up to Pressure Ratio Controller, what is fitted to prevent upper deck
pressure exceeding its maximum rated pressure?

Ans: Pressure relief valve

38. State the function of Rate of Change Controller.

Ans: To prevent upper deck pressure from increasing too rapidly during
rapid opening of the throttle.

39. What is Sea Level Boosted Engine?

Ans: An Engine that uses turbocharger to maintain sea level

manifold pressure and does not boost manifold pressure.

40. Name the main components of Sea Level Boosted Engine.

Ans: a) Exhaust bypass valve assembly b) density controller c)

Differential pressure controller.

41. When does the Density Controller begin to operate?
