(2) Principles of operation. A dc motor drives an ac
generator. A solid state voltage regulator controls the
voltage output while the speed of the generator
determines the hertz of the ac output.
(3) Safety practices and procedures. The following
special precautions should be observed when using an
inverter:
· Turn the inverter before connecting or
disconnecting a plug to or form the receptacle.
·
Keep liquids, such as coffee or soda,
away from the unit to avoid spilling them on or
in the unit.
· Do not override or try to defeat built-in safety
devices.
(4) Operating procedures. The following general
procedures pertain to the operation of the inverter:
(a) Connect the plug to the receptacle.
(b) Turn the inverter power switch on.
(c) After use, turn the power switch off.
(d) Disconnect plug from receptacle.
(5) Inspection. General operator inspections for the
inverter are contained in the following paragraphs.
Detailed inspection requirements are found in the
applicable maintenance manual.
(a) Input cord. Check for cuts or cracks in
rubber covering.
(b) Case. Look for obvious damage, such as
dents,
which
may
indicate
internal
damage
to
components.
(6) Maintenance.
Consult
the
applicable
maintenance manual
for scheduled and preventive
maintenance requirements.
g. Oxygen Servicing Unit. The oxygen
servicing unit, shown in figure 9-24, will provide oxygen
at a maximum pressure of
3,000 psig. Each of the
eight bottles will hold 224 cf of oxygen. The flow
capacity of the regulator is 1,500 scfh at 2,300 psig
delivered.
(1) Purpose. The oxygen servicing unit is designed
to provide a means of carrying standard high pressure
oxygen bottles and of interconnecting them to provide
regulated single output which can be adjusted for
pressure. It is used to service aircraft and other
equipment which requires pressurized oxygen.
(2) Principles of operation. The oxygen servicing
unit consists of eight cylindrical tubes, each of which can
house a standard high-pressure oxygen bottle lying on
its side. Pigtails and a manifold are used to
interconnect the oxygen bottles to provide a single
output. Each pigtail is connected to a check valve to
prevent backflow. A manual control valve, connected to
the manifold, is used to supply the oxygen directly from
the oxygen bottles to the receiving equipment. An
adjustable, dual indicator regulator controls the oxygen
output at the desired pressure. The oxygen supply is
transferred through a 25 foot flexible output service
hose.
(3) Safety practices and procedures. The following
special precautions should be observed when using the
oxygen servicing unit:
· Personnel operating the unit must be familiar
with
the
safety
regulations
regarding
the
handling of oxygen.
· Do not smoke within 50 feet of the oxygen
servicing unit.
· All open connectors must be protected with
plastic protectors (dust covers) to prevent
contamination.
(4) Operating procedures. The following general
procedures pertain to the operation of the oxygen
servicing unit:
(a) Connect the filler line to the equipment
being serviced.
(b) Open the bottle pressure outlet valve.
(c) Open the regulator pressure outlet valve
to the desired amount of pressure.
(d) Open the receiving vessel input valve and
transfer oxygen.
(e) When the desired amount of oxygen has
been transferred, close the receiving vessel input valve.
