Abstract
System and methods for servicing and monitoring shock struts are provided. A method for servicing a shock strut may include calculating a first fluid level; generating a first datum corresponding to the first fluid level; moving fluid into the shock strut in accordance with the first datum; calculating a second fluid level; generating a second datum corresponding to the second fluid level; and storing a final fluid level.
Claims9
A process for servicing a shock strut including:
- calculating, by a controller, a first fluid level at a first time based upon at least an initial gas pressure, an initial gas temperature, and an initial shock strut stroke position;
- generating, by the controller, a first datum corresponding to the first fluid level;
- sending, by the controller, the first datum to a display;
- moving fluid into the shock strut in accordance with the first datum;
- receiving, by the controller, an updated gas pressure, an updated gas temperature, and an updated shock strut stroke position from a plurality of shock strut sensors, in accordance with the fluid moved into the shock strut;
- calculating, by the controller, a second fluid level at a second time based upon at least the initial gas pressure, the initial gas temperature, the initial shock strut stroke position, the updated gas pressure, the updated gas temperature, and the updated shock strut stroke position;
- generating, by the controller, a second datum corresponding to the second fluid level;
- storing, by the controller, a final fluid level;
- and
- sending, by the controller, the second datum to a display.
