The purpose of the barometric correction in a fuel controller is to ?
The purpose of barometric correction in a fuel controller to Maintain correct fuel to air mass ratio when altitude increases. The fuel control unit (fcu) controls fuel flow a given thrust setting
variations in air intake pressure (p1) require that fuel flow to burners changed accordingly so that a fixed r p m maintained a selected throttle position at all altitudes airspeeds this achieved the expansion or contraction of a capsule influenced p1 pressure which in turn modifies fuel flow accordingly this capsule known as barometric pressure capsule (b p c ) incorporated in an 'altitude sensing unit' within f c u
the goal not to maintain a constant fuel flow whatever altitude is goal to maintain correct fuel to air mass ratio when altitude increases or decreases to maintain a given thrust whatever altitude is.
At Reference In flight with centre tank empty and APU operating a fuel unbalance is detected quantity in tank 1 < quantity in tank 2 Rebalancing of the two tanks is 872 ?

One of purposes of fuel system booster pumps to be submerged in fuel To facilitate priming of pumps. The pumps are cooled the fuel lubricated it to achieve these functions pumps would not need to be submerged in fuel action of flow through pumps would suffice
it important that pumps only pump fuel not air to this end ensuing pumps are submerged in fuel will keep them primed with fuel. The vapour lock A stoppage in a fuel feeding line caused a fuel vapour bubble. The pumps are cooled the fuel lubricated it to achieve these functions pumps would not need to be submerged in fuel action of flow through pumps would suffice
it important that pumps only pump fuel not air to this end ensuing pumps are submerged in fuel will keep them primed with fuel. The pressurising function of pressurising and dump valve in a gas turbine engine fuel system To admit fuel to nozzles only if fuel pressure high enough sufficient atomisation.
a pressurising dump valve used with a duplex fuel nozzle at a preset pressure pressurising valve opens allows fuel to flow into main manifold as well as pilot or primary manifold the dump valve allows manifold fuel to be dumped into drains tank when engine shut down to prevent fuel boiling in manifold due to residual engine heat. Fuel pumps submerged in fuel tanks of a multi engine aircraft are Centrifugal low pressure type pumps. They are known as 'lp pump also 'booster pump (less than 3 bars 40 psi)
