Overview
One of the major activities which everyone in the aircraft industry
understands as to be a challenging task is that of refueling the
aircraft. See how Parasnath Electronics with its innovative
technology helped the aircraft industry solve this problem
Challenge
Due to the capacity of the aircraft fuel tank and also because of
huge size of the aircraft special mechanisms are needed to refuel
the aircraft. Special vehicles with proper elevation tools need to
be employed to refuel the aircraft. But the problem that is faced is
that the coupling of the hosepipe refueling the aircrafts often
breaks loose. This can happen due to the slightest movement in the
vehicle, to which the hose pipe is attached. This leads to the
spilling of the aircraft fuel thus increasing the operational costs.
Also many a times a situation occurs when unaccounted fuel goes into
the aircraft. This ends up creating a situation in which there is no
accountability of the fuel that was actually exhausted.
Solution
Parasnath using its sensors and switches developed a mechanism that
minimized the losses suffered due to spillage of fuel and over
filling. Parasnath developed a system in which even a slightest
movement in the hose pipe resulted in stoppage of fuelling process.
Automatic brakes would be applied to the hosepipe which would ensure
that the hose pipe is no longer getting the supply of fuel. So even
if the coupling of hose pipe breaks loose, no spillage of fuel would
take place. The system also sends an audio video signal to the
operator of the vehicle indicating that the breaks have been
applied.
To prevent the problem of unaccounted fuel, Parasnath developed a
signaling mechanism which ensured that no extra/unaccounted fuel
ever goes into the aircraft. The fuelling would not happen till a
proper signal is received. If there is no signal then no fuelling
ever takes place. Also before the fuelling takes place the mechanism
ensures that the count meter is in the correct position to measure
the actual amount of fuel that was filled.
