manufacturer’s specifications.
The turbine must be installed in a way that it can be cooled by
a bypassing air stream.
Combustible liquids and gases as well as tanks and tubes must
be kept or installed in safe distance of the engine.
The intake area (impeller / compressor) must be kept clear.
Any wires, tubes, etc. must be installed and fixed in a way they
cannot be sucked into the turbine. In general, there should not
be any objects or installations close to the front end of the
turbine.
The intake section of the model should have at least twice the
area of the impeller/compressor wheel.
You must make sure that no objects, e.g. rocks, dirt, screws,
etc., can be sucked into the turbine. It is a good idea to protect
the turbine intake with a close meshed screen (accessories).
The intake area must be absolutely kept clear.
2.3. Assembly of the complete system
Please look at the installation scheme as well as the
illustration.
The optimum size of the fuel tank depends on the model but
should be at least 1.7 liters. The optimum size for the B100F /
B140F
is 2 - 3 liters, which is enough for an average air time
of 6 – 8 minutes, depending on your style of flying. For further
information please see technical data, fuel consumption. There
must be a
felt pendulum
in the tank. Use only the included felt
pendulum.
The tank set up can be realized with a so called Hopper tank
(please see installation scheme “engine fuel supply”. The felt
pendulum only can be installed in the Hopper tank; there
must
be a free passage to the other tanks of 3 mm diameter
(minimum).
Use yellow, highly flexible Tygon tube and attach it to the pump
with a cable connector. Tank accessories, pendula, etc. can be
found in the AeroDesignWorks line up.
The fuel pump must be installed directly
behind
the tank. Be
careful to install the pump correctly (brass fitting = draw side).
The electric wiring of the pump has to be done with the correct
polarity
(+ / -)
. If the pump is not wired correctly, it will not work
right and will transport no fuel
Install the fine filter in the pressure tube
behind
the fuel pump
