    摘要: A starter air valve has a valve member and an actuator. A rotary spool valve has a rotatable valve body and an outer housing to selectively provide three modes of operation for the starter air valve. A first mode of operation connects air through the rotatable valve body to communicate with an actuator control, and to receive air back from the actuator control. The rotatable valve body then communicates the air to the actuator. In a second mode the rotatable valve body blocks communication between the actuator control and the actuator, and delivers air through a variable area port in a wall of the rotatable valve body to bypass the valve member. In a third mode the rotatable valve body blocks communication between the actuator and the actuator control, and connects air to the actuator without having passed to the actuator control. A starter air system is also disclosed.

    摘要: A heat exchanger is provided having a first fluid circuit defining a first volume and configured to permit a first fluid to flow therethrough with a first fluid supply. The heat exchanger includes a second fluid circuit defining a second volume separate from the first volume and sharing at least one common wall with the first enclosed volume, and configured to permit a second fluid to flow therethrough from a second fluid supply. One or more thermal transfer sheets having one or more channels therein are configured in structural and thermal contact with both the first and second fluid circuits, the channels having a thermodynamic fluid disposed therein and configured to transfer heat between the first fluid circuit and the second fluid circuit. A thermal transfer rate through the at least one common wall is less than a thermal transfer rate of the one or more thermal transfer sheets.

    摘要: A fuel management system may include a first fuel tank and a second fuel tank. The fuel management system may also include an intelligent crossfeed valve positioned between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank and configured to allow fuel to flow between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank. The fuel management system may also include a sensor configured to detect an amount to which the intelligent crossfeed valve is open. The fuel management system may also include an engine controller connected to the sensor and configured to cause the intelligent crossfeed valve to close in response to the intelligent crossfeed valve being open a third predetermined amount.

    摘要: A valve having a first segment between a first outer wall and a first inner wall and has a first outer port near the first outer wall and a side port between the first inner and outer walls; a second segment between a second outer wall and a second inner wall and has a second outer port near the second outer wall; a center segment between the first and second inner walls, and a center port; and a piston within the valve, having: a first piston head in the first segment that slides to block and unblock the side port; a second piston head in the second segment that slides between the second inner and outer walls, the second piston head having a surface area that is the same as the first piston head; and a shaft connecting the first and second piston heads.
