The hydraulic thermal properties display is used to monitor the status of the hydraulic system in orbit. It shows the basic pressures of the accumulators and the circulation pumps, as well as line temperatures for the various systems driven by the hydraulics. This allows to monitor the proper functioning of the circulation pumps to keep the lines from freezing in cold spots. In addition, the lower left part shows tire pressures for the gear. | The hydraulic thermal properties display is used to monitor the status of the hydraulic system in orbit.

This may come as a surprise, but all pressure and temperature readings of the display are real, i.e. reflect the actual simulated thermal state of the hydraulics system. | This may come as a surprise, but all pressure and temperature readings of the display are real, i.e. reflect the actual simulated thermal state of the hydraulics system. | ||
