SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fluid passes through microfilters prior to distribution to the porous
panels and propeller. The filter assures all contaminants are removed
from the fluid and prevents panel blockage.
A system of nylon tubing carries the fluid to proportioning units located
in the wings and tail of the airplane. The proportioning units divide the
flow into the volumetric requirements of each panel or device supplied
through the unit. Each panel and device is fed again with nylon tubing.
The TKS Ice Protection System tank is located in the cargo pod and
serviced through a single filler located on the left side of the pod, near
the left main landing gear. The tank has a maximum capacity of 20.8
gallons (78.7 l). It is the pilot's responsibility to make sure that an
adequate quantity of TKS fluid is carried for the planned mission. A
minimum of 11.7 gallons (44.3 l) in the tank is required before takeoff if
the system is to be considered operational for dispatch into known icing
conditions. This minimum dispatch quantity must be determined by
visual inspection of the sight gage located on the filler end of the TKS
fluid tank, refer to Figure S1-10.
The sight gage is the only approved means of assuring
adequate fluid quantity prior to flight into known or
forecast icing conditions. The fluid level ball must be
above the minimum dispatch quantity line,11.7 U.S.
Gallons, (44.3 l) with the airplane level to make sure
proper indication.
The TKS fluid quantity is also measured by a sensor which transmits an
electrical signal to the level indicator. The fluid quantity indicator gage is
displayed on the MFD, refer to Figure S1-9.
