摘要: An air turbine starter that includes a housing. The housing can circumscribe a turbine coupled that is coupled to a gear train in a gear box via a drive shaft. The gear train can couple to an output shaft via at least a carrier. The air turbine starter can include at least a first bearing assembly and a second bearing assembly to rotatably support the drive shaft and the output shaft.

摘要: The method can include generating a first duty cycle value for the PWM; monitoring a current value of a parameter; generating a duty cycle limit value for the PWM, including activating more than one duty cycle limit functions based on corresponding activation conditions, the corresponding activation conditions based on the current value of the parameter, each of the more than one duty cycle limit functions generating a corresponding duty cycle limit subvalue when the corresponding activation conditions are met, and setting the duty cycle limit value to a sum of the generated duty cycle limit subvalues; setting a second duty cycle value for the PWM, as the first duty cycle value or as the duty cycle limit if the first duty cycle value exceeds the duty cycle limit; and, applying the PWM at the second duty cycle value to the valve.

摘要: An engine system for an aircraft includes a first gas turbine engine, a first core turning system, a second gas turbine engine, and a second core turning system. The engine system also includes a controller operable to shutdown the first gas turbine engine responsive to determining that the aircraft has landed and operate in the second gas turbine engine in a taxi mode while using the first core turning system to cool the first gas turbine engine. The controller is further operable to shutdown the second gas turbine engine and disable the first core turning system based on a power-down condition, restart the first gas turbine engine and use the second core turning system to cool the second gas turbine engine based on a restart condition, and complete cooling of the second gas turbine prior to restarting the second gas turbine engine.

摘要: A starter assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fluid-actuated starter coupled to a spool, and a controller operable to cause a reduction in torque output of the starter in response to determining that a first predefined threshold is met. The first predefined threshold relates to an engine operational condition. A method for starting a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

摘要: Systems and methods to operate an engine in a bowed rotor mitigation mode. An engine starting system includes a starter coupled to the engine and with a compressor. A conduit system communicates a portion of the compressed air from the compressor to the starter. A load control valve controls compressed air from the compressor to the starter and to other loads. A starter air valve controls compressed air through the conduit system to the starter. At least one controller: receives a start signal from the engine; determines whether to initiate a bowed rotor mitigation of the engine; operates either the load control valve or the starter air valve to move to a predetermined static position; and operates the other of the load control valve or the starter air valve to achieve a target speed of the engine.

摘要: A starter for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor shaft rotatable about an axis and includes an inner bore extending from an axial end of the rotor shaft with respect to the axis. A sun gear is on the rotor shaft. A lock nut is received against an axial end face of the sun gear and threadedly engaged with an outer diameter of the rotor shaft. A retainer is positioned to bias the nut against the axial end face and includes a projection portion threadedly engaged with the rotor shaft in the inner bore. A bolt through the projection portion is threadedly engaged with the rotor shaft.

摘要: A system is provided for alternating starter use during multi-engine motoring in an aircraft. The system includes a first engine starting system of a first engine. A first controller is in communication with a second controller that controls a second engine starting system of a second engine, the first controller being configured to intermittently direct power to the first engine starting system to alternately accelerate and decelerate the first engine during motoring with respect to the second engine.
