Hydraulic accumulator questions
Hi all,
This is an ATPL question at my school:
If the charge pressure of a wheel brake hydraulic accumulator is reduced, the number of emergency brake applications available will:
*Increase.
Remain the same.
Reduce.
None of the above
Correct answers is A), increase.
Now to my concern. I can understand that if you reduce the charge pressure you can fit more hydraulic fluid in the accumulator (when charged). But also, when you start using the accumulator the gas pressure will drop quicker than if you had a higher charge pressure.
What is your thoughts about that question?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
