Carburetor Heat.

After warching multiple private pilot videos on youtube, I now have a clear understanding as to what a carb heat is, and why it is applied. Thanks for a very simple and informative video.

Yes! Carb Heat is only taught as a procedural item for your checklist, and so that's the only way I've learned it. I've always wanted to understand it, and to know why you need it at different times, regardless of ambient temperature. This is the complete explanation I was hoping to find. Thanks!

Thank you for providing such clarity with your superb illustrations.

I’m on day 2 of rpl and this was super helpful even though we already went over this, thank you!

[sszhang]

Thanks for your kindly explanation, after watching your video, I have understood much better about the carburetor.

[Mika-djnp]

thank you a lot for this easy understanding video !

[Uncommon_Sense]

Best video for Private Pilots to explain the carby. Thanks!

[MrEgarcia]

This was what I was really looking for!!

[patrickdennison]

There is a special place in heaven for you, @flight-club! Thanks!

[Gainsforlife]

Absolutely phenomenal video clearly explain the intricacies of carb heat. Thank you

[ricp]

this is so elegantly explained ! thanks a lot for the great video

[sebsebby]

Very educational.
Thanks for the video

Please create more videos. And get more visual tutorials on the site and on the Instagram page.🤩

Our pilots really need your art🤓

Very useful. There was just one part that I didn't feel was fully explained. At 2:00 you talk about low RPM means the butterfly valve is nearly closed. That's clear enough. But then you say that means the temperature drop "is significant because the Venturi effect is significant." I didn't really feel that was a proper explanation and I'm not really sure what point was being made here. Any clarifications very welcome (by anyone)!

Is it saying that ice formation causes the butterfly valve to become rigid and thereby cannot move, so the Venturi effect can't pull in the fuel mixture to be supplied to the engine? Or something else?

[June-lfhx]

why not just install another air filter on the second pipe so that the air is filtered even when we use the carb heat??

[callumclausen]

Why is it that fuel consumption increases when carb heat is on? Surely less dense air requires less fuel to maintain the same ratio?
Thanks!

look like egr exaust gas to intake back.

For the longest time I could never understand why the ice formed. Everybody just said "icing" which made me wonder how the heck does such a massive pressure differential freeze water vapor? Then I read somewhere "fuel evaporation icing" and I had a eureka moment. The evaporation rate and cooling effect of Avgas mixed with the water vapor..

how is there venturi effect more significant when the throttle is closed? wouldn't the more open the throttle, the more air is allowed to flow through the venturi causing the venturi effect to be more significant?

Why do so many aircraft engines even today have a carburetor instead of direct injection?
