Handling bleed valves (HBVs) control the outlet of bleed air from the engine and into other aircraft systems. They are primarily used for engine starting, transient bleed, and surge control. A handling bleed valve (HBV) is a coaxial shutoff valve used in gas turbine aircraft engines. It controls the inflow of bleed air into aircraft - systems. Bleed air is hot, compressed air that is drawn out from the aircraft's engine and used for purposes other than fuel combustion. - The HBV is used for starting, transient bleed, and surge control of the bleed air. The valve is either fully open or fully closed during operation, - and is fail-safe, spring-loaded open. Solenoids managed by the engine electronic computer (EEC) are used to pneumatically control whether - the vlave is open or closed. - Among other things, bleed air modulated by the HBV is used for driving cabin pressurization, air conditioning, and anti-icing/de-icing - systems. The release of bleed air from the engine also prevents pressure surging in the engine which would lead to undeseriable power - surges or engine stall. - APPLICATIONS: Commercial aircraft engines - FEATURES AND ATTRIBUTES: - • Air filters installed into the handling bleed valve (HBV) prevent contaminants from traveling any further into the aircraft - • Adjustment screws on HBV units allow for adjustment of the unit without the need for disassembly - • Carbon guides and bushings provide structural support and minimize assembly leakage - • Body construction is 17-4 PH CRES, Inconel 718 - • Guides and seals are carbon graphite
