 Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 7:57 am Post subject: Question on Aircraft Cowl Openings |
 |
|
Hello everybody,
Happy Thanksgiving to all those from the US.
I wonder if one of you could help me, please... On the cowl of a piston engine aircraft, on either side of the prop hub there are usually two openings that allow air into the cowl to cool the engine. What are those openings called? Do they have a name?
Thanks in advance!
God bless,
Andrew

That is where my filters for the air intakes are as well as the cooling.
Does the term "hole" come to mind

There are 3 on my engine nacelles – 1 in the middle for the oil cooler, and 1 on either side of the spinner for the cylinder heads. I call them “air inlet opening thingies”. Happy holidays..!!

Andrew, I'm looking, but thought maybe a little humor in the mean time, might work.
So far under "Aircraft Technical" this is what they say "v=induction system The engine receives ram air through an intake in the lower front portion of the engine cowling. An air filter is placed at the intake end of the duct. " which lacks a lot, calling it only an intake. But will keep looking.

I guess I was looking for something a little more precise and/or technical - "D ducts", maybe?
God bless,

OH, forgot to mention, on my Commander, the term "Birdhouse" describes it very well in the summer time.

Thanks, Don, I knew you were kidding.
What I found was this on a Diamond aircraft service bulletin: (http://www.diamondaircraft.com/library/10/11/Enlarged_cowl.pdf)
"The engine cooling air inlets in the upper cowling may be enlarged to reduce engine temperatures for operators who regularly fly at high outside air temperatures. This change is compatible with the Two Stage Winter Kit (SB DAC1-71-03)."
I guess they are "engine cooling air inlets"...
Thanks!
God bless,
Andrew

I have been on Google, FAA, and Airman Information Manual, for over an hour and don't find a thing, so sounds good to me.
