    摘要: A fluid flow system includes a main valve having a spool, a first chamber, and a second chamber. A pressure difference between the first chamber and the second chamber is configured to move the spool to control fluid flow. An electromechanical meter interface device (EMID) is in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second chambers of the main valve. The EMID is configured to meter fluid from a first source and a second source to the at least one of the first chamber and the second chamber. The first source has a different pressure from the second source. A fixed orifice is arranged between the main valve and the EMID. A fuel system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    摘要: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a pump selector system can include a primary pump fluidly connected to provide a primary flow to a fluid destination, a secondary pump fluidly connected to provide a secondary flow to the fluid destination, and a selector valve disposed downstream of the primary pump and the secondary pump. The selector valve can be configured to toggle between a first position configured to allow flow from the primary pump to flow to the fluid destination and to block flow from the secondary pump to the fluid destination, and a second position configured to allow flow from the secondary pump to flow to the fluid destination and to block flow from the primary pump to the fluid destination.

    摘要: A fuel metering system includes a pump with an inlet and an outlet, a first flow path including a first valve fluidically connected to the outlet of the pump, and a second flow path including a second valve fluidically connected to the outlet of the pump, a third valve, and a fourth valve. An electrohydraulic servo valve in a first position hydraulically connects the inlet of the pump to the first, third, and fourth valves to close the first valve, open the third valve, open a first window of the fourth valve, and close a second window of the fourth valve. The electrohydraulic servo valve in a second position hydraulically connects the outlet of the pump to the first, third, and fourth valves to open the first valve, close the third valve, close the first window of the fourth valve, and open the second window of the fourth valve.
