The Bendix
RSA type
fuel injection
system
is based
on the
principle
of
measuring
air
flow and
using the
air flow signal
in a stem
type regulator
to
convert
the
air force into
a fuel
force. This
fuel force
(fuel
pressure
differential)
when
applied
across the
fuel metering
section
(jetting system)
makes
fuel flow
proportional
to
air flow.
The
Simmonds
type 530 is a
continuous flow
fuel injection
system.
This continuous
flow system
has
three separate
components:
1. A
fuel
pump
assembly.
2. A
throttle
body
assembly.
3. Four fuel
flow nozzles.
This system
is throttle actuated.
Fuel is
injected into the
engine intake
valve
ports by
the nozzles.
The system
continuously
delivers
metered
fuel
to each
intake valve
port in
response
to throttle
position,
engine speed
and
mixture
control
position.
Complete
flexibility
of operation
is provided
by
the manual
mixture
control
which permits
the adjustment
of the amount
of injected
fuel to
suit all
operating
conditions.
Moving
the mixture
control to
"Idle Cut-Off"
results
in a
complete
cut-off of
fuel to
the
engine.
Lubrication
System
- (All
models except
AIO-360
series).
The full
pressure
wet sump
lubrication
system
is actuated
by an
impeller
type pump
contained
within
the
accessory
housing.
(A10-360
series).
The AIO-360
series
is designed
for aerobatic
flying
and
is of the
dry sump
type. A double
scavenge
pump
is installed
on the
accessory
housing.
Priming
System
- Provision
for a primer
system
is provided
on all
engines
employing
a carburetor.
Fuel
injected
engines
do not require
a priming
system.
Ignition
System
-
Dual ignition
is
furnished
by
two Bendix
magnetos.
Consult
Table
1 for model
application.
Counterweight
System
- Models
designated
by the numeral
6 in
the suffix
of the
model
number (example:
0-360-A1G6)
are
equipped
with
crankshafts
with pendulum
type
counterweights
attached.
