	Bleed air - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bleed air in gas turbine engines is compressed air taken from within the engine, after the compressor stage(s) and before the fuel is injected in the burners.
		Bleed air is valuable in an aircraft for two properties: its high temperature and its high pressure.
		When used for cabin pressurization, the air from the engine must first be cooled (as it exits the compressor stage at temperatures as high as 300 °C) by passing the bleed air through an air-to-air heat exchanger cooled by cold outside air.

	Jet engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Air coming in the front of the engine is blown towards the rear of the engine by a fan stage (convergent ducts), where it is crushed against a set of non-rotating blades called stators (divergent ducts).
		Fuel is mixed with the compressed air and ignited by flame in the eddy of a flame holder.
		Air, bled from the compressor exit, passes around combustor and is injected into the rim of the rotating turbine disc.

	Compressor Section - Generic Information
		Air is often bled from the final or highest pressure stage because at this point pressure and air temperature are at a maximum.
		These air outlets are constructed in the form of ducts and are known by a variety of names including "air outlet ducts", "outlet elbows," and "combustion chamber inlet ducts." These outlet ducts perform a very important part of the diffusion process.
		As air velocity decreases, the pressure due to velocity or ram that has just been gained in Passing through preceding rotor stage decreases somewhat; however, the total pressure is the sum of static pressure and pressure due to ram.

	TSB Reports - Air 1996 - A96O0125
		During the start sequence, air pressure is available to all three engine start valves, and flow control valves are closed, so air pressure is not available for other aircraft systems.
		After all engines are operating, bleed air is made available to other aircraft systems by opening the flow control valves and closing the number 2 engine bleed air valves.
		When the aircraft is operating normally, the number 1 engine bleed air supplies air to the left air-conditioning pack and the number 3 engine bleed air supplies air to the right air-conditioning pack.

	Diffuser - T-53-L-13
		The diffuser section is bolted to the compressor section and consists of an inner and outer housing separated by welded stationary vanes.
		Bleed air is hot compressed air which is bled from the engine diffuser section just prior to it entering the combustion chamber.
		It is used to anti-ice the air inlet section of the engine, heat the cabin, defrost the windshields and power the engine/transmission oil cooling fan.

	Fuel saving gadgets - a professional engineer's view
		The ratio of air to fuel is a critical factor in petrol combustion.
		In this case the air bleed through the "fuel saving device" does nothing at all, since the manifold pressure sensor simply measures the air in the inlet manifold.
		The claim is that the air bleed device in some way alters the air and/or fuel flow, thus maintaining the correct mixture.

		The EVA tubes, one for the left bleed air supply ducting and one for the right, are routed forward to the pressure switches under the cabin floor.
		In this situation with the bleed air system now leaking, the crew and passengers would be put at additional risk through the loss of pressurisation.

		Air moving through the nose can dry and irritate the membranes lining the inside of the nose.
		Recurrent nosebleeds may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as high blood pressure, taking large doses of aspirin or blood-thinning medication, allergies, a bleeding disorder, or a tumor of the nose or sinuses.
		Lying down with a nose bleed is not recommended, and you should avoid sniffing or blowing your nose for several hours after a nosebleed.

	Airliner Cabin air quality, false claims about airliner cabin air quality
		Outside air is compressed by the turbine engines and a portion — bleed air — is diverted via the pneumatic system to air-cycle machines (packs), which cool the air.
		In one 1987–1994 investigation of the microbiological composition of cabin air on 45 flights, the researchers said, “Because the high compressor temperatures effectively kill any living organism in the intake air, the air supply is virtually sterile as it enters the cabin air-distribution system.
		In a recirculating system, a small portion of the exhaust air is discharged to the outside and is replaced with fresh outside air, which mixes with the portion of exhaust air that was not discharged to the outside.

		ATLANTA –- Concentrations of air contaminants measured in a study of commercial aircraft were found to be generally lower than those in residential or commercial buildings, according to researchers at the Jan. 27-31, 2001, Winter Meeting of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
		In addition, researchers discovered that overall, bleed air quality was excellent and was found to generally exceed desired levels of air quality for supply air in other environments, such as offices.
		Air quality measurements were conducted for three different airframes on 10 study flights.

	Flying Bedstead
		The TMR was fitted with two MK4 Nene jet engines, which were standard Sea Hawk engines modified only by an air bleed system that allowed 10% of the engine compressor air to bleed off for the control systems of the rig.
		The TMR was controlled by bleeding air from the engine through the control valves to diametrically opposed pipes, each equipped with a nozzle that could swivel 30° in either direction for turning the rig left or right.
		The control valves were also interconnected to the control column so that movement of the column would restrict the flow of air to the nozzles, thereby reducing the thrust and so controlling which direction the rig would go.

		Bleed air used for cross bleed starts, masker air, and prairie air passes through the bleed air reducing valve, reduceing bleed air pressure from 250 to 75 psig.

	Bleed Air Heater Therodynamics - PPRuNe Forums
		Usually, a small volume of very hot bleed air is used to mix with a larger volume of ambient temp air being passed through a plenum chamber.
		It is the extra work done to the air by the compressor that raises the air's temperature by a greater amount than would result from the compression.
		The source air from the compressor should have a fairly stable temperature once the engine is running, but it takes some time for the warm compressed air to heat up the pipes delivering it to the cockpit.

	Aerospace + Defense Bleed Air Filtration
		Bleed air systems take high temperature, high pressure air from the engine and supply it to the air-conditioning and anti-ice systems for aircraft.
		Bleed air is used to provide pressure for the aircraft cabin by supplying air to the Environmental Control System (ECS).
		Since modern jet turbines use multiple compressor stages, some newer engines for new aircraft designs have the bleed air inlet between compressor stages to reduce the temperature and reduction in the need for compressed air in more electric aircraft.

	A Simple Boost Bleed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If you were to run full boost pressure to the actuator, your boost would always stay low (about 6 psi max) because this pressure would blow open the wastegate and prevent higher boost levels.
		Your car's stock computer raises the boost above this minimum by "bleeding" some of the air pressure out of this feed line through the opening and closing of the wastegate solenoid; cycling the solenoid reduces the amount of boost pressure in the feed line which then reduces the opening of the wastegate.
		If you manually bleed more air out of the feed line than the computer does, your boost level will go higher than the computer lets it go.
