A Design Study in Steel - Crossbleed Valve for the F-5
Crossbleed
Valve -- Description
The crossbleed valve body is a
complex near-net shape body, consisting of a flanged thin wall (1/8”) main
cylinder attached to a flanged actuator cup by a cylindrical connecting
shaft
angled off the main cylinder.
Bleed
air flow is through the main
cylinder, controlled by the butterfly valve.
The
valve actuator is inserted in the cup.
The
two ends of the main cylinder and the top of the cup are flanged for
connections.
The
connecting shaft is drilled out for the linkage between the actuator
and the butterfly valve.
The
production requirement for the valve body is 100 pieces per annum.
