Types Of Pneumatics Used In Air Force

Adrian Aceves pressure pneumatic systems 0 Comment 2019-07-23

As the air force industry develops, aircraft engineers experiment with various modern systems and engineering solutions, especially solutions providing alternative fueling for modern air force. Air force pneumatics and hydraulics are being widely utilized as the replacement for traditionally fueled systems, since using liquids for power transmitting has several advantages. Both liquid and air are considered to be fluids, although liquids are incompressible and air or gases are highly compressible.

The main trait of pneumatic and hydraulic systems is that these systems use enclosed fluids to create required pressure that will generate required power. These systems are widely used for breaks, numerous emergency operations, various opening and closing operations and within many constructions requiring impulse pressure injecting. Depending on the intensity of required pressure, there are three main systems that are use: high, medium and low – pressure pneumatic systems.

Air force use of high – pressure pneumatic systems

These systems are gradually being abandoned and replaced by other more effective and practical systems, although they still keep some purposes within air force constructions. High – pressure pneumatic system typically includes metal bottles with compressed gas or fluid within it and two valves to control the system.

The pressure values range between 1 and 3 thousand psi providing immediate, rapid and intense power injection when required. Charging valve controls fluid flow between bottle and compressor, while control valve keeps the fluid pressured and captured while the whole system is shut down.

The main disadvantage of these systems is their limitation to short-term operations. They are not suitable for continuous pressure supply, since they can’t be recharged during air flight. That is why high – pressure pneumatics are used for various emergency operations, landing breaks or gear and similar instant procedures.

Air force use of medium – pressure pneumatic systems

A medium – pressure air force pneumatics are based upon so-called bleed air and are used more frequently than previously described systems. They do not include bottled fluid, but the system that draws air or gas from engine’s compressor.

This enables them to provide power generating for more continuous processes, such as engine or wing starting or shutting down. Similarly constructed systems are designed for hydraulics if the airplane is equipped with those.

Air force use of low – pressure pneumatic systems

These pneumatic systems are commonly utilized within modern aircrafting, especially within the airplanes using reciprocating engines. Low – pressure pneumatics use vane-pumps which are powered by electric motors or directly by the engines of the airplane.

High – pressure pneumatic systems

These systems work under relatively low pressure, up to 10 psi and therefore are suitable for powering continuous procedures, such as wings function and many more. Since all the hydraulic and pneumatic systems used in aircraft need to meet extremely high – quality criteria due to the challenging tasks, it is of the greatest importance to purchase these components from reliable, superb provider. For more information and expert’s knowledge on the matter, as well as for purchasing highest quality of aircraft pneumatics, explore the website of the leading UK pneumatic supplier.

Short circuit – how to find the cause of and turn on the power again?

Adrian Aceves 0 Comment 2018-11-19

When the electric current goes in the wrong direction, a short circuit occurs. This is due to a malfunction in the circuit between the consumer panel and the electrical appliance. For example, the two wires touch because they have relocated from their connection points or their insulation has been damaged. If it happens you will need to call qualified professionals PES Electrical.

Extremely strong current passes through electrical installations and goes in the direction that provides the least resistance until a fatal point is reached – a fuse or miniature switch that burns or shuts off so that the circuit breaks off and the current stops flowing. If there are no weak points, a short circuit could cause a fire by overheating electrical installations or joints. You can hear when the fuse burns – for example, in a plug when you put it in a socket.

How to find what’s wrong?


First, turn off the power on the consumer panel or on the main fuse box. Never check while the power is on. Each fuse carrier or box must have a circuit breaker that protects it. If fuse holders are not marked, check each one individually.

In the case of an older type of fuse carrier with a removable wire, you will see that the wire is broken or you will see the beads on the wire or you will find an interruption when you gently press the wire. If you have a consumer panel with a miniature switch, you can see which button or switch is off. If you have fuse holders with a solderable cartridge, you will need to check each fuse individually.

Break on a lighting structure

Turn off the lights – as well as the main switch on the consumer panel. Inspect the flexible lamps of the hanging lights. Flexible cable breaks with time, and any movement can cause touching of bare wire. Also check the joints in the light body, throat and light switch to check if the wire has been loose from its connection point.

Another possibility is that the cable is damaged. Use a circuit tester to check for any damage. If the power cord is damaged, you will need to replace it. When repairing all of the failures, replace the fuse or replace the miniature switch on the consumer’s control panel and turn the main switch on again. If the fuse goes out again or the miniature switch is turned off, call a qualified electrician.

Break on the circuit

Disconnect all switched-on electrical devices so that all plugs and sockets are free. If there are triple sockets or fixed terminal boxes in the circuit, test the fuses in them to check that they are correct. Replace the fuse in the consumer’s installation panel or turn on the miniature switch and turn the main switch on again. If the fuse goes out again or the miniature switch is turned off, call a qualified electrician.

Why Do We Need To Learn Latest Maritime Regulations

Adrian Aceves Shipping 0 Comment 2017-11-08

It is really important to learn more about maritime regulations, especially if you are a part of maritime industries and technologies. The reason why this so is because maritime technologies and industries have come a long way and have changed for a long time to become what they are today. In this article, you will find out what’s precisely the purpose of learning more about these regulations and why you should do it on a regular basis.

Maritime regulations and constant updates

Maritime regulations have changed since the invention of steam boats, not to mention in the latest era. It is particularly true that maritime laws and regulations have changed in the recent time, and this is because the awareness of the ecosystem sustainability and pollution is much greater than it has ever been. There are also many features that are a part of these rules and regulations and preventing collisions at Sea is just one of them. It is really important to stick to these rules and regulations because they are there to help everyone plus the environment.

The Most Important Rules And Regulations That Govern International Sea Transport Safety

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

To provide safety for everyone who travels by sea, in 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea have been brought so that among other things navigation rules are respected by ships and other vessels at sea. This means that any ship that starts its journey has precise and consistent information how to react when there are other vessels in the sea as well. This is particularly important to remember when there are many vessels that are traveling in the same waters. This will not just make the traffic easier, but it will also help vessels and people on board stay safe. This is one of the most important regulations that was brought in maritime laws, and this is the one law and regulation that needs to be strictly adhered to. This maritime regulation has also paved the way to other just as equally important maritime regulations that we have nowadays, but it is also important to remember that the regulations change all the time and that those who navigate the waters need to learn them and be aware of them at the right time. Everything else is less important than that.

Battery Technology That We Have Been Waiting For!

Adrian Aceves Energy 0 Comment 2017-11-05

Finally, the battery technology that all of us have been waiting for is here! For Ro-Pax vessels, it is particularly important that they always have sufficient power because it is what ensures their thrusters. But, before we continue with the maritime lingo, let us explain why battery technology is so important that it has everyone hyped about it in the maritime industry.

What’s With The Batteries Trend?

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

Maritime industry, just like any other industry manages to make lots and lots of money each year. Unfortunately, with the income which is usually a positive thing, goes something bad that we should strive to get rid of and that is the pollution. This trend has been ongoing for years, but very few people are aware of it. In fact, the shipping industry makes twice as many emissions when compared to diesel vehicles, but people do not seem to notice it. What gets our attention, however, is the rise of sea levels, which directly endangers certain places in the world, such as Venice and Pacific Islands, just to name a few. That being said, the emissions of the sulfur and other gasses, together with pollution, endanger our environment making it an unsafe place to live. Still, people have to realize that all of this affects all of us directly. This is the only planet we have and taking care of it is our task and a debt that we owe to the younger generations. This is why battery technology is not just crucial, but essential if we are prepared to make the necessary changes that will ensure our survival on this planet.

Energy Sustainability

It is really important to think of the energy sustainability because in shipping industries this is also what ensures safety on board. The large energy storage systems are capable of supplying power almost instantaneously while it is also certain that energy storage and the cost of batteries also reduce emissions to the air, in fact, this will ensure that all emissions to the air are finally eliminated.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

The project that will make sure all of this happens is the system which is designed in such a way that it enables switching on battery power for bow thrusters and it will also be able to switch the power when necessary. The electricity is there to help ensure that the operating distances are reached in the best way that will ensure energy efficiency.

This system is still in development, and it is too early to say, but according to the research, it could be one of the best systems developed for energy efficiency and energy preservation in shipping that was ever invented.

Global Maritime Community News – Environmental Changes In Maritime Industries

Adrian Aceves Challenges 0 Comment 2017-09-18

Environmental changes in maritime industries are really important, which is why it is a true delight that earlier this month an important global discussion that hosted international experts took place at the Panama Canal. If you would like to learn more about the environmental changes and maritime industries in general, read on.

The Environmental Gathering Of International Experts

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

The international gathering placed the focus on global maritime community practices that deliver their commitments to reducing carbon emission. Although it is believed that automotive industry is the first industry regarding pollution, it is not the case. A lot worse emission of harmful gases is done in shipping and maritime industry, but it is a topic which is seldom discussed. To fix these problems and deal with them, it is important that we adopt sustainable practices that will govern and monitor the emission of harmful gases so that the life on this planet does not get even more environmentally endangered than it already is. The dangers of the changes in the environment affect all of us, which is something we all need to be aware of.

Green Connection And New Challenges

The even that took place named accordingly, “The Green Connection and the New Challenges of the Maritime Industry” and it welcomed some of the most eminent international experts in maritime industries that are well aware of the dangers that are lurking from ignoring the existing situation. In the Panama Canal, they have discussed the obstacles that shippers are faced, as well as the solutions to reducing the carbon footprint that we have already made. The opportunities to share the knowledge and make some drastic changes are crucial, which is why this event is internationally important and globally crucial for our survival on this planet.

 Reducing Emissions

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

It is important to learn how to reduce the emissions that are affecting the planet and all of us, but doing so without harming the economy of many countries that rely on shipping industry as the backbone of their economy is difficult. The emission of tons of CO2 which have been estimated to be up to 700 million tons in the last century show that we need a change as soon as possible. This is just the first of many events that could be able to solve this serious situation.

Could You Hack A Ship?

Adrian Aceves Security 0 Comment 2017-09-17

The maritime industry is not just one that ensures global trade, but also the one which transports approximately 10.3 billion tons across the world. These statistics were globally confirmed in 2016. But the trillion dollar industry seems to be anything but safe from the most dangerous 21st-century threat that can get to all of us – hackers! So how do you hack a ship?

Can Ships Even Be Hacked?

Well, security researchers have been warning us about this trend which was sure to come to the maritime industry as much as it was sure that it would become popular in other areas of life as well. The incredibly valuable cargo is often transported with ships that have a pretty poor process of safety and awareness of the hacks threats might help change this situation for the better. The seaports are often crammed with ships that all suffer from the exactly same problem.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

What Do Security Researchers Have To Say?

Security researchers have been warning that this will happen for years. It was also stated that in 2015 one of the most famous anti-virus programs Kaspersky Labs has claimed that shipping was not a difficult task for any hacker with some experience. They went on to say that shipping was considered to be “easy meat” for hackers. Also, the cyber security in shipping is just as endangered around the world that the authorities are not struggling with this problem around the world.

Switching Navigation Systems

It has also been suggested by the maritime security company CyberKeel that ships should change their navigation systems so that pirates should not be able to know when they operate their ships or fake the data. There are so many places in which the security systems of ships are endangered that a daring scheme of criminals could make serious problems with the security of the ships. Taking care of the security issues beforehand could help solve many of these problems, but only if it is first recognized as an international problem and treated as such that it can be resolved.

10 Reasons Why Ship Operators Should Be Nervous About the 2015 ECA Regulations

Adrian Aceves Ship 0 Comment 2017-08-24

ew ECA regulations are in store for all those who were wondering about the latest rules and regulations in maritime technologies and maritime industries. But, in case you are still not as familiar with this topic as you would like to be – we’ve got you covered! Read the following text and find out more about the updated rules and regulations, what they mean for ship operators and what the 10 reasons are which might make ship operators feel queasy when talking about this topic.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

  1. The first reason why ship operators might feel nervous about sulfur emission areas or ECA is the fact that these regulations continuously change and in order to learn everything you need to know about them, you need to spend a lot of time.
  2. The second reason is that ECA is comprised of many damaging types of sulfur and that the regulations only partially managed to decrease the harmful effects that this has on the environment.
  3. Global requirements might also make things a little difficult for should operators because they need to keep in touch with local as well as global rules and regulations.
  4. In addition to that, the missions that are released in the sea affect all of us, and that is something we ship operators are perhaps more aware than other people.
  5. Certain areas of the world are especially endangered, which makes it a lot difficult for ship operators not to question certain roles in the ECA regulations. Wanting to change the existing situation and not being able to do it might also make ship operators nervous.
  6. Another worry that ship operators might have in their minds when talking about the mission control areas is the animal world, and plant world in the bodies of water.
  7. In addition to that, the only describe the regulations, which came to the fact, in 2013 made the situation of the emission control of sulfur in to see a lot worse than it was. I believe that ship operators are anxious about future regulations because they are not sure whether they will make the situation better or worse.
  8. What also makes it difficult for ship operators to relax about the new ECA regulations is the fact that many of them will have to go through training from the start and learn everything anew.
  9. Of course, the most worrying part about all of this is the fact that it has on the environment, which ship operators are particularly aware of even more so than many other people who also work in maritime industries.
  10. What seems to be the biggest problem can be solved in a really simple way. The majority of ship operators would like to have consistent and effective ECA regulations.

Clean Up Emission Calls The Maritime Industry To Think Again About Waste

Adrian Aceves World 0 Comment 2017-07-18

It is a very well-known fact that the planet that we are living on has limited natural resources and that our activities of living on this planet have started to endanger the environment more and more. To stop this ever-growing trend, we will have to change our actions and think of the consequences of the activities that we do. One of the most endangered resources on the planet, which is crucial for our survival is fresh water, but it is also damaging to pollute the oceans and seas as well. This is precisely why the International Maritime Organization’s environment is meeting on an annual basis trying to figure out a new and updated global plan for reducing emissions levels.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

It is almost certain that without a clean-up there could be a fifth of carbon emissions solely due to shipping by the year 2050. It is also certain that container ships use up to as much as 3500 times more sulfur than car diesel, which is notoriously damaging the environment. The international shipping is actually to blame for the 90% of the world trade, but there has been no regulation of carbon emissions for this industry. It is despite many protocols that the emissions continue in global shipping and act as a global phenomenon. It is also proposed that we all make a 50% emission cut in the carbon emissions to save Pacific Island nations which are most threatened by rising sea levels.

This topic is also important for the Marine Environment Protection Committee that will be putting a proposal for emissions to be reduced even to 70% or 100% in the time for this not to happen. However, what is preventing this resolution is the fact that many countries that depend on the income of shipping are still not prepared for these actions because it would also mean that their economies would suffer damage from these measures. However, the economic stability of one country could not even begin to compare with the safety of the health of the entire planet and the world, which is why we must react immediately and make some drastic changes.

Adrian Aceves Storage 0 Comment 2017-07-10

Now shipping in all capacities is the OWC’s groundbreaking thunder blade, but what makes it special is the leading zero emissions thanks to the latest technological achievements and the pioneering of ThunderBlade external drive that is not shipping in four capacities. This first-to-market ThunderBlade is threating to become the preeminent produce in the professional maritime industries.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

This product is the cherry on top for OWC that has just celebrated their 30th anniversary and will continue to build their legacy of first-to-market innovation by pushing the edges not just in design but also in technology.

It was also stated by the OWC that they would continue to push the envelope because they believe they are making the step in the right direction and leading for the future. They are also ever thankful to their customers who are allowing them to do what they like and build the products that will prove to be successful technological investments. The latest ThunderBlade is just one of many effectively build products that were made by the OWC, that will show the path for the next 30 years and pave the way to future success. The SoftRAID that developed the platform is the latest seamlessly provided support for both Mac and OS and has all the requirements. The great acclaim in the production of this house has also received world recognition. But they say their large and complex projects get easier over time, and ThunderBlade is a prime example of that.

http://www.fathom-ctech.com/

The capacities of the ThunderBlade are various and go from 1TB to 8TB and the price also ranges, from $1.199.99 to $4.999.00, however, what is most important is the storage and memory which was vastly upgraded in the last decade. The support for both Mac and OS users is bound to give good results, as will the regular memory upgrades.

What is left for us is to look forward to the new products and maritime technologies that will come to us after the ThunderBlade, which are bound to be equally exciting and useful? We are also proud to announce that thanks to the collaboration with the OWC you will be able to find all about it here first as we will be covering all the latest details about maritime industry and technologies that will come to us from the OWC. We are excited to be a part of the new era in the shipping industries!
