摘要: A turbo engine for an aircraft includes a gas turbine engine having a combustion section and a fuel system to provide pressurized fuel to the combustion section. The fuel system includes a fuel tank and a boost pump and a main pump driven by an accessory gearbox that is powered by a shaft of the turbo engine. The boost pump and the main pump are arranged in series. The fuel system also includes an auxiliary pump and a controller to operate the fuel system in (1) a first mode in which the boost pump and the main pump produce pressurized fuel for the turbo engine and the auxiliary pump is deactivated, and (2) a second mode in which the auxiliary pump is activated and produces the pressurized fuel for the turbo engine while bypassing the boost pump and the main pump.

摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus are disclosed to provide a pressurized fluid to components of a fluid pump. An example flow control system to provide a pressurized lubricant to a secondary flow network disposed within a fluid pump includes sensors to measure parameters of a fluid corresponding to fluid flow; a recirculation loop fluidly coupled to a secondary inlet of the pump, the recirculation loop to provide a first flowpath, wherein the secondary inlet is an inlet to the secondary flow network; a bypass circuit fluidly coupled to the secondary inlet to provide a second flowpath; and a controller to direct the fluid flow to the first flowpath or the second flowpath based on sensor data from the sensor, the sensor data indicative of a state of the fluid.

摘要: An aircraft fuel system includes a first fuel storage tank arranged to store a first fuel, a second fuel storage tank arranged to store a reduced oxygen fuel, and a fuel tank inerting system arranged to provide a reduced oxygen gas through a fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel within the second fuel storage tank. The fuel tank inerting system may include a fuel tank sparging system to inject the reduced oxygen gas directly into the fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel.

摘要: Flow-metering fuel systems and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a pipe defining a flow path for fuel, the pipe fluidly coupled to a combustor, a first portion of the pipe having a first cross-sectional area, a second portion of the pipe having a second cross-sectional area smaller than the first cross-sectional area, the second portion downstream of the first portion, and an actuator to adjust a flow rate of the fuel in the pipe based on a first pressure of the fuel in the first portion of the pipe, a second pressure of the fuel in the second portion of the pipe, and a temperature of the fuel.
