18. The swirling motion in fuel flow indicating system is due to

a. Impeller
b.

Ans (a) : Ref EHJ Pallete Chp 15 Page 371

When fuel enters the transmitter it passes through passages in the impeller which, on account of its
rotation, causes the fuel to swirl at a velocity governed by the flow rate. The fuel is then diverted around
the decoupling disc, and in passing through passages in the turbine, it imparts a rotational force which
tends to continuously rotate the turbine in the same direction as the impeller.

Ans ( ):

Explanation from Web :-

Fuel Metering Valve Assembly (FMVA) incorporates an electro-hydraulic, 4-way fuel-metering servo, a
pressure compensating by-pass valve, pilot operated solenoid and shut-off valve into a single
integrated package. The FMVA uses a first-stage, electro-hydraulic servo. This servo is based on the 3-
way, clevis-type fuel metering servo that is currently used in a variety of applications such as direct
metered flow and pressure compensated flow control for turbine engine fuel systems and actuator
position control.
