Pump

Commericial airliners have fuel pumps that can be either mounted inside the fuel tanks or externally. Basically they consist of a centrifugal impellor powered by an electric motor.

There are generally two types of fuel pumps in aircraft. Low pressure pumps which bring fuel from the tank to the engine and operate pretty much like any other fuel pump. These are usually located in a sump within the tank and are designed so as not to run dry.

The other type is a high pressure pump which is usually located within the engine.

These pumps take the low pressure fuel from the tank and increase fuel pressure dramatically for injection into the burner cans.

 

Filter

A gascolator (fuel filter) acts primarily as a fuel drain and is usually found in the lower regions of an aircraft's fuel system. This allows it to drain any water that may have found its way into the fuel (some fuel is lost when draining).

The gascolator is located below the fuel tank. Fuel is filtered through the gascolator and then sent on its mission to the electric fuel pump.

Even when the electric fuel pump is off, the fuel still flows through an internal bypass. Anything caught in the filter or still present in the fuel will drain to the bottom of the gascolator.

Sensor

The sensors we supplied have a reputation for ruggedness, quality and reliability gained from many years of experience in actual operational service.

This is the result of our adherence to time proven design principles, our ability to work closely with our customers to assure compliance with specific operational requirements, and close attention to details in robust manufacturing
processes.

Transducer

These transducers have found wide acceptance in aerospace, for wind tunnel, flight test and acoustic measurements.

They have established the industry standard of excellence for dynamic pressure measurements.

The small size of these devices has made them uniquely suited to a large variety of test and production applications in industry, research and development.

Fuel Injector

With the desire to maintain a simplistic design — one without need of moving parts — virtually all fuel injected engines made for general aviation utilize a continuous-flow fuel injection system.

This means that fuel, under a given pressure, is sent to various components and finally delivered as metered pressure to the cylinder. Last in line for this delivery is the fuel nozzle.

Heat & Sound Insulation

This material is one of the finest sound proofing and thermal insulation materials available, and will last the life of the aircraft.

Fireresistant and self-extinguishing per FAA test procedure. Excellent moisture resistance. Resistant to most solvents.
