b)On all return lines – assume that valves, fittings, etc can cause up to 10 psi (0.7 bar) back-pressure. Refer to Table 1 to select hose sizes which give a maximum addi- tional pressure drop of 10 psi (0.7 bar) on any route from a sprayhead to the reservoir.

c)Motor drain lines MUST be returned back to the oil reservoir in an open unrestricted flow and MUST NOT have more than 75 psi (3.0 bar) total back pressure as the hy- draulic motor shaft seal may rupture. To check the back pressure place a low pres- sure gauge in the case drain line on the motor furthest from the oil reservoir and with the unit running read the pressure. If the pressure is above 75 psi (3.0 bar) the motor drain line must be replaced with a larger diameter line.

4.2.6Hoses, Fittings and Motor Connections

All pressure lines must be flexible hydraulic hose or steel hydraulic tube of the appropri- ate pressure rating.

Any type of hose fitting can be used, but the standard 37 degree JIC flare type is recom- mended wherever possible. Large radius hose elbows should be used to minimise pres- sure drops.

High pressure hose should preferably be terminated with swage type fittings. However, if re-usable types are selected, they should never be re-used more than three times.

IMPORTANT: Never use galvanised water pipe or fittings in any part of an hydraulic system.

Micron recommend connecting the hydraulic motors of sprayheads in parallel. If con- nected in series a maximum of two motors in each series chain should be used.

The supply and return connections MUST NOT be reversed as the fan will run in the op- posite direction with little or no airflow.

DRAIN LINES MUST BE FITTED. TOTAL BACK PRESSURE OF COMBINED DRAIN LINES MUST NEVER EXCEED 3 BAR OR MOTOR SEAL FAILURE WILL RESULT.

Turbofan specifications

Micron Technology has made significant strides in the field of advanced aerospace engineering with the introduction of its Turbofan engine technology. This cutting-edge development is designed to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve overall performance in modern aircraft. The Turbofan serves as a testament to Micron's commitment to innovation and sustainability within the aviation industry.

One of the main features of the Micron Technology Turbofan is its emphasis on fuel efficiency. The engine incorporates state-of-the-art aerodynamics, allowing it to achieve a higher bypass ratio compared to traditional jet engines. This design leads to less fuel consumption and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative.

In terms of technology, Micron has integrated advanced materials and manufacturing techniques into the Turbofan design. The use of lightweight composite materials contributes to an overall decrease in engine weight, which in turn enhances aircraft performance. Furthermore, additive manufacturing processes allow for the production of complex engine components that would be difficult to achieve using conventional methods, resulting in improved durability and efficiency.

The Turbofan is equipped with innovative noise reduction technologies as well. This includes advanced acoustic lining within the engine and optimized fan blade design, which work together to minimize noise levels during takeoff and landing. As a result, the Turbofan is well-suited for use in urban environments, where noise pollution is a growing concern.

Another significant characteristic of the Micron Turbofan is its modular design. This allows for easier maintenance and scalability, making it adaptable for various aircraft models. By reducing downtime for repairs and facilitating upgrades, Micron enhances the operational efficiency of airlines and other operators.

Additionally, the Turbofan incorporates smart technology features such as real-time performance monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities. These features enable proactive decision-making and help to extend the lifespan of the engine, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution for operators.

In conclusion, Micron Technology's Turbofan represents a pivotal advancement in aviation technology, combining fuel efficiency, noise reduction, and innovative materials with smart engineering solutions. As the industry moves towards more sustainable aviation practices, this engine sets a new standard for performance and environmental responsibility.
