摘要: Embodiments of a flow system are provided. The flow system includes a flow source device configured to receive fluid from a first flow line and output fluid on a second flow line. An output is in fluid communication with the flow source device on the second flow line. An actuation system is in fluid communication with the second flow line through a third flow line. A flow meter measures a flow rate in the second flow line without bypassing any fluid to the first flow line. A controller is in communication with the flow source device and the flow meter. The controller adjusts the flow source device to achieve a desired flow rate at the output based on a condition of the flow source device and the flow rate measured by the flow meter.

摘要: A multiphase fuel injector has an injector body with a fuel inlet at a first end and a fuel outlet at a second end opposite the first end. A primary circuit disposed proximate the fuel inlet extends into a central portion of the injector body. The primary circuit is configured to receive a first flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into a spin chamber in the injector body downstream from the fuel inlet. The primary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the first flow of pressurized fuel. A secondary circuit is located in the injector body radially outward from the primary circuit. The secondary circuit is configured to receive a second flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into the fuel outlet. The secondary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the second flow of pressurized fuel.

摘要: A fuel nozzle metering valve that includes a spool having an inlet port and an outlet flow port, and a retainer assembled to one end of the spool. A valve liner houses a portion of the spool. The spool is configured to move back and forth within the valve liner. The metering valve is biased in a closed position in which the outlet flow port is disposed entirely within the valve liner. The valve is opened when the spool slides within the valve liner such that some portion of the outlet flow port extends beyond an end of the valve liner. The retainer has a stepped portion configured to abut an end of the retainer at a fuel flow pressure below the expected maximum fuel flow pressure to be used in the fuel nozzle metering valve.

摘要: A passive flow splitting system for use in a turbine engine control system to provide split fuel flow to two fuel manifolds to supply primary and secondary fuel injectors for the particular combustion zones thereof utilizing intentionally different split ratios dependent on ascending or descending combustion fuel flow is provided. The system includes a passive fuel divider valve (FDV) that includes a primary piston and a secondary piston. The primary piston is moveable independently from the secondary piston during a portion of its stroke, and is hydro-locked to the secondary piston during another portion of its stroke. An ecology valve is also provided to purge the fuel from the primary and/or secondary manifolds during different modes of operation. A transfer valve is included to control the position of ecology piston of the ecology valve.
