Aircraft Tyre deflation
Safety is always the prime requirement and with aircraft tyre deflation there are
two main risk areas.
Firstly the causing of embolisms and embedding of debris into the skin carried
by escaping high pressure gas, and secondly the subsequent possible damage
by the valve being carried away by the exhausting gas and becoming fodder
if not found.
Solution: Both problems have been overcome. The exhaust route has been directed
away from the operator and secondly the removed valve is retained within
the deflator body until the deflator is removed from the valve.
Now that dry nitrogen has replaced air as the inflation medium, ice formation
is also no longer a hazard.
