摘要: A pump system for a gas turbine engine including a first pump connected to a fluid flow demand line for delivering fluid to a fluid flow demand and a second pump connected, in parallel to the first pump, to the fluid flow demand line and supplementing fluid to the actuation or burner system based on the fluid flow demand. A pressure regulating valve (PRV) is fluidly connected to the flow demand line for bypassing flow to a pump inlet pressure of the first pump and second pump, and controlling a modulated pressure flow signal to a bypass valve, wherein the bypass valve is in fluid communication with the second pump and the PRV for receiving modulated pressure from the PRV and regulating delivery of fluid from the second pump to a bypass flow line.

摘要: A fuel control system for an aircraft includes first and second electric motor controlled fuel pumps connect in parallel with one another to a fuel line. A plurality of fuel nozzles are connected to the fuel line to issue pressurized fuel from the fuel line with the ability to throttle flow based on system needs along with the electric pumping. At least one fuel nozzle in the plurality of fuel nozzles includes a respective sensor system. A fuel controller is operatively connected to receive input from the respective sensor system of the at least one fuel nozzle, and operatively connected to control the first and second electric motor controlled pumps based on input from the respective sensor system of the at least one fuel nozzle.

摘要: A fuel system can include a main fuel pump (MFP) configured to output main flow to a main line, an augmentor fuel pump (AFP) configured to output an augmenter flow to an augmenter line, and a variable displacement pump assembly (VDPP) in fluid communication with the AFP via the augmentor line to receive the augmentor flow. The VDPP can include a variable displacement pump (VDP) configured to output a VDP flow to a VDP output line. The system can include a main fuel throttle valve assembly (MFTV) in fluid communication with the main fuel pump via the main line to receive the main flow and in fluid communication with the VDPP via a backup line. The MFTV can be in fluid communication with an engine line, an actuation assembly in fluid communication with the VDPP via an actuation line to receive an actuation flow.

摘要: A method is provided for operating an aircraft system. During this method, an engine is operated using first fuel provided by a first fuel source. A fuel supply for the engine is switched between the first fuel source and a second fuel source, where the switching of the fuel supply includes shutting down the engine during aircraft flight. The engine is operated using second fuel provided by the second fuel source.

摘要: Methods and systems of operating a gas turbine engine in a low-power condition are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes supplying fuel to the combustor by supplying fuel to the first fuel manifold via a first flow divider valve and supplying fuel to the second fuel manifold via a second flow divider valve. While supplying fuel to the combustor by supplying fuel to the first fuel manifold, the method includes stopping supplying fuel to the second fuel manifold and supplying pressurized gas to the second fuel manifold via the second flow divider valve to flush fuel in the second fuel manifold into the combustor and hinder coking in the second fuel manifold and associated nozzles.

摘要: According to an aspect, a dual fuel pump system includes a primary run-dry fuel pump having multiple stages, each of the stages configured to produce fuel pressure between a pump stage inlet and a pump stage outlet, and at least one of the stages operable in a run-dry mode. A secondary run-dry fuel pump is operable in run-dry mode, where the secondary run-dry fuel pump is mechanically driven by an accessory gearbox of an engine of the aircraft. An electric motor is operably coupled to the primary run-dry fuel pump and configured to drive rotation of the stages of the primary run-dry fuel pump. A controller is configured to pressurize fuel using a single stage of the primary run-dry fuel pump, pressurize fuel using at least two stages of the primary run-dry fuel pump, and pressurize fuel using the secondary run-dry fuel pump under various operating conditions.
