    摘要: A fuel assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fuel valve that meters flow of fluid between a combustor and a fuel supply, and a controller in communication with the fuel assembly. The controller is programmed to receive data corresponding to a present rotational speed of a gas turbine engine component and data corresponding to at least one present flight condition, and is programmed to cause a flow rate from the fuel valve to change in response to determining that a rate of change in an acceleration rate relating to the present rotational speed meets at least one predetermined threshold. At least one predetermined threshold relates to an engine light-off event of the combustor and is based upon the at least one present flight condition.

    摘要: A method includes receiving an indication of exhaust gas temperature (EGT) for a gas turbine engine, and determining, by at least one processor, based on the received indication of the EGT, a representation of a second derivative with respect to time of the EGT. The method further includes comparing the representation of the second derivative of the EGT to a threshold value, and determining, based on the comparing, an engine flameout condition of the gas turbine engine. In some embodiments, the at least one processor can determine a representation of a first derivative with respect to time of the EGT. The representation of the first derivative of the EGT can be compared to a threshold value, determined based on the received indication of the EGT, to determine the engine flameout condition.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor fluidly connected to the compressor section via a primary flowpath, a turbine section fluidly connected to the combustor via the primary flowpath, and a plurality of fuel injectors disposed within the combusto. The plurality of fuel injectors including at least one start fuel injector. Also included is a controller having a memory and processor. The memory stores instructions configured to cause the at least one start fuel injector to pulse fuel through the start injector nozzle, thereby preventing stagnant fuel in the start injector nozzle from exceed a coking temperature threshold.

    摘要: An engine system includes a gas turbine engine with a first compressor, a first combustor, and a first turbine. The engine system also includes a secondary power unit with a second compressor, a second combustor, a second turbine, a third compressor coupled to the second compressor, and an electric motor-generator, where the secondary power unit is coupled to the gas turbine engine. A controller is operable to determine an operating mode of the engine system, select an input energy source and an output type of the secondary power unit based on the operating mode, control the secondary power unit based on the input energy source and the output type as selected, detect a change in the operating mode of the engine system, and modify the input energy source and/or the output type of the secondary power unit based on the change in the operating mode.
