    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 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: Disclosed is a fuel system for a gas turbine engine having a core exhaust and a combustion section. The system comprises a fuel pump for fluid communication with a fuel reservoir; a driving turbine for driving the fuel pump; and an air feed to drive the driving turbine, the air feed being fluidly connectable to the core exhaust of the gas turbine engine. Also disclosed is a fuel system comprising: a fuel pump for fluid communication with a fuel reservoir; a fuel line from the fuel pump for fluid communication with the combustion section of the gas turbine engine; and an air feed to a heat exchanger, the air feed being fluidly connectable to the core exhaust of the gas turbine engine, wherein the fuel line is in thermal communication with the air feed within a heat exchanger.

    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.
