[attachment=19485]
ABOUT HAL ACCESSORIES DIVISION LUCKNOW
Established in 1970.
Primary Objective - To manufacture systems and accessories for various aircrafts and engines and attain self sufficiency in this area.
Spread over an area of 94,000 sq m.
Division Manufactures - Civil Aircrafts like Avro, Dornier, Cheetah, Cheatak & Advanced Light Helicopters(ALH) & SU-30.
Fuel Tanks:
Number of fuel tanks: 6
Name of fuel tanks: 1, 2, 3RT, 3LT, 4, 5
Fuel Capacity: 1200 kg
Special detail: Tank no. 2 is the main tank & also known as service tank having fuel capacity of 600 kg
Fuel Systems
Purpose of an aircraft fuel system is:
To store & deliver the proper amount of clean fuel at the correct pressure to the engine
Fuel systems should provide positive and reliable fuel flow through all phases of flight such as 1)Changes in altitude 2)Violent maneuvers 3)Sudden acceleration and deceleration
Fuel systems should also continuously monitor system operation such as: Fuel pressure Fuel flow Warning signals Tank quantity
Fuel quantity transmitters
This sensors are used for computing fuel quantity in service tank. Capacitance of the probes changes based on the variation in fuel level in tank. Resultant capacitance of following probes acts as an input for computing fuel in service tank. Different capacitance probes used in Su-30MKI are DT41-4, DT41-5, DT41-6, DT41-7, DT41-8.
