    摘要: A method of purging fuel injectors of a gas turbine engine, the fuel injectors fluidly connected to a fuel manifold and having primary and secondary fuel passages fluidly connectable to the fuel manifold, the method includes: selectively fluidly disconnecting one or more of the primary and secondary fuel passages from the fuel manifold; and purging the one or more of the primary and secondary fuel passages by injecting a purging fluid into the one or more of the primary and secondary fuel passages while bypassing the fuel manifold. A fuel injector having two fuel passages, a flow divider valve, and a purging valve is disclosed.

    摘要: A method of servicing a gas turbine engine having an igniter socket, the method comprising: inserting a glow plug into the igniter socket of the gas turbine engine until a rod end of a glow plug heater rod of the glow plug is exposed to a combustion chamber of the gas turbine engine; and blocking a gap between the glow plug heater rod and an aperture defined in a combustor liner of the gas turbine engine to block fluid communication between the combustion chamber and an environment outside the combustion chamber via the aperture.

    摘要: A fuel delivery system for an aircraft engine includes a first fuel manifold operable to deliver fuel to a combustor of the aircraft engine via a first set of fuel nozzles, a second fuel manifold operable to deliver fuel to a combustor of the aircraft engine via a second set of fuel nozzles, and a valve in a fuel nozzle of the second set of fuel nozzles, the valve operable to block fuel flow from the second fuel manifold to the fuel nozzle when the aircraft engine is operated in a standby mode. An aircraft gas turbine engine and a method of operating an aircraft engine are also disclosed.
