Abstract

See full text

A fluid system for calibrating a variable area metering valve during flight when the fluid receiver is not in operation employs several single point fixed calibration orifices that are sequentially used to establish a corresponding number of calibration points in a short time interval. The position of the metering valve movable element is stored in a memory of a microprocessor for each calibration point and the metering valve may thereafter be driven by the microprocessor to control with precision flow rates to the receiver without the need for a flow meter. Operation is free to bench calibration inaccuracies and possible drift due to mechanical wear.
