Coupled with the impact of environmental pollution during long-term flight, the performance of the related components of the torque motor controller has declined and even malfunctioned. The most common failure phenomenon is the abnormal opening of the electromagnetic damper valve inside the TMC, which fails to meet the initial standard. After the failure occurs, it will trigger the failure of the bleed air system, affecting the safety margin of the aircraft bleed air system and making it impossible to guarantee the reliability of the aircraft bleed air system.
