Overview of Capacitive Type Fuel Qty. Measuring Systems

 

The Capacitive Type Fuel Qty measuring system utilizes a variable capacitive element in order to vary a precise electrical AC voltage based on the quantity of fuel in the fuel tank. The varying electrical signal, in turn, is used to drive the pointer on a fuel quantity indicator in a manner which is proportional to the amount of fuel in the tank, thereby visibly indicating remaining fuel quantity to the pilot.

The typical components in this type of system include the following

1. Signal Conditioner or Control Monitor (If not included in the
indicator
2. Tank Unit (Fuel Qty Sender, Fuel Probe)
3. Indicator                                                                                                          fule flow
