Warming Aircraft Accumulators in Sub‐Zero Temperatures: A Proposal for the Better Care of Accumulators so that their Full Power is Available when Most Required

Abstract

ENGINE starting at low temperatures is difficult for the following reasons: (a) A cold engine requires higher torque to start it and thus imposes a greater load on the accumulator. This is not so marked with ball or roller bearings.
