Aircraft's Fuel Scan 450 Twin and its Awesome Benefits


Posted October 17, 2019 by jpinstruments

The JPI manufactured Fuel Scan 450 Twin uses two very reliable fuel flow sensors. Each of these sensors is mounted in the fuel line prior to the fuel distributor or carburettor and, they measure the actual fuel flowing through.

 
The JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin is one of the finest fuel management system for piston engine aircraft that money can buy.

For the pilot, the fuel scan 450 can be his personal flight engineer; always there working in the background constantly monitoring the fuel consumption while the pilot concentrates and enjoys the flight.

With its dual display system, the JPI fuel scan 450 displays the fuel flow rates on the upper display and other measurements on the bottom part of the display. The fuel scan 450 will easily interface with the panel mount or handheld GPS.

The JPI manufactured Fuel Scan 450 Twin uses two very reliable fuel flow sensors. Each of these sensors is mounted in the fuel line prior to the fuel distributor or carburettor and, they measure the actual fuel flowing through.

Internally, the JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin consists of a turbine wheel that rotates at a rate proportional to the volume of fuel passing through it. The actual flow rate count is done via a light beam that gets interrupted by the rotating wheel. On the other side is a sensor that counts the interruptions. This in turn is converted into the fuel flow rate.

Of course, the accuracy of the instrument depends on the accuracy of the quantum of fuel in the tank at the start of the flight. This quantum is pilot-fed via buttons on the faceplate, into the Fuel scan 450 Twin.

The JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin displays up to six fuel related measurements. Some of these measurements will be available only if you connect the fuel scan 450 Twin to your GPS. As mentioned previously, the upper display always shows the current fuel flow rates in the selected units. On the right, the pilot may select gallons, litters or pounds. The fuel quantum is displayed in whole units and tenths. The tenths place is shown as a smaller digit on the right.

Under normal circumstances, the fuel scan 450 will automatically index through all the measurements and display each measurement on the lower side of the display unit. On its left, is a label indicating what the measurement is; while on the right side if the pilot taps the step button, he can manually step through each measurement.

The total fuel used indicates how much fuel has been used by both Digital Gauges since the last refuel. As the flight progresses, these numbers will always become larger. The JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin can also show the fuel used on a long multi-fuel stop flight.

The pilot can reset the fuel used display by holding the auto button for a few seconds until the used display is set to zero hours and minutes.
If the JPI manufactured fuel scan 450 Twin is attached to a GPS, then, it can also display fuel required to next Waypoint.
