FUEL SYSTEM 6C – 7
ANEROID COMPENSATOR
The aneroid compensator consists of the compensator housing, the bellows, the adjusting pin, the aneroid
compensator lever pin, and the aneroid compensator lever.
Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. The decreased atmospheric pressure causes the bellows to
expand and push the adjusting pin down.
The adjusting pin pushes the aneroid compensator lever pin and the aneroid compensator lever to the left.
The aneroid compensator lever pushes the tension lever to the right.
The tension lever actuates the control sleeve to decrease the fuel flow.
