Abstract:
A method (30) of controlling fuel flow in a gas turbine engine. First, detect a surge condition. Set fuel flow demand (Wf_D) proportional to compressor discharge pressure (P30). Detect actual fuel flow (Wf_A). Then apply an enhanced schedule (50) for fuel flow demand (Wf_D) while fuel flow demand (Wf_D) is less than a predefined proportion (k) of actual fuel flow (Wf_A). Also a gas turbine engine (10), fuel flow system (68) and fuel flow control system (76) each implementing the method (30).
