FLOW METER AND VALVE INSTALLATION
Install the flow meter and valve/motor assembly in the aircraft’s existing boom supply tube. Figure 2 shows the
recommended configuration of IntelliFlow 3’s flow meter and valve/motor assembly. If you cannot install the flow meter
and valve/motor vertically (as shown) because of the physical limitations of the aircraft, you may vary the rotational
position of either as required.
Figure 2: Recommended Configuration of Flow Meter and Valve/Motor Assembly
The flow meter must be installed before the valve/motor assembly to avoid excessive turbulence. To minimize the
turbulence around the flow meter, cut the hoses (at step 1 below) to maintain the following minimum hose-length to
diameter ratios (i.e., 10:1 or 6:1).
The length between the bypass valve and the flowmeter is the
most critical
; this section should be as long and straight as
possible, exceeding the minimums below when possible. However, it is acknowledged that the recommended minimum
distances are very often not possible. In such cases, install the meter and valve as far apart as possible.
