*is fluid power that use compressible

air

*usually used to
powered aircraft
*there is no need for instrument, cabin
return line pressurization, anti-
icing and generally
for backup system
Introduction

reduce gradually from the
system which moisture in the
maximum pressure to zero
pneumatic system will freeze in
pressure
low temperature at high altitudes

air is universally available
inexhautible supply
Advantage
compressed air as a fluid is
light weight and since there
is no system is required
weight is saved

the units are reasonable relatively free from

simple and lightweight temperature problem

small leakage is hard to be

detected

not suitable for in high pressure

heavy or large Disadvantage system, the system
working cannot be recharged
in flight

does not allowed continuous

operation/ limited operation
by mean of air supply
 High Pressure
Pneumatic

The compressor associates

usually beaing stored in metal
usually powered ny electric
bottles
motor or aircraft engine

which is the charging valve

that allows a ground working pressure ranging
operated compressor to be from 1000psi to 3000psi
connected to it

presure bottle that

incorporated with two
valves

 Safety Precaution in
Pneumatic System

leak testing must be air compressor

performed I.A.W lubrication oil should
specification be checked

component must be pneumatic system

checked for highst should be purged
standard of cleanliness periodically

after oil is added filter

plug should be torque
and safety wire is input
