    Abstract: A compact heat exchanger is provided and includes a first manifold defining an inlet for receiving from a component a fluid to be cooled and an outlet for returning the cooled fluid to the component to cool the component. A second manifold is disposed spaced from the first manifold. A core extends between and fluidly communicates with the manifolds and includes hexagonal channels. Each channel is formed by mini-tubes defining respective triangular passages. A cross-section of the core defines an irregular-cross structure. The fluid enters the inlet of the first manifold, makes a first pass through the mini-tubes to the second manifold, makes a second pass through the mini-tubes to the first manifold such that the fluid is cooled across the mini-tubes, exits the first manifold through the outlet, and returns to the component to cool the component. A method of manufacturing the heat exchanger is provided also.

    Abstract: A method of motoring a gas turbine engine is provided. The method comprises: determining a first speed to motor a gas turbine engine for cooling; motoring a gas turbine engine at the first speed; detecting a gap parameter of a gas turbine engine; detecting a speed parameter of the gas turbine engine; detecting a vibration parameter of the gas turbine engine; and motoring the gas turbine at a second speed in response to at least one gap parameter, speed parameter, and vibration parameter.

    Abstract: A starter air valve (SAV) system includes a pressure actuated SAV actuator configured to be operatively connected to a SAV, a first pressure valve configured to selectively allow pressure from a pressure source to the SAV actuator when in fluid communication with the SAV actuator, and a second pressure valve configured to selectively allow pressure from the pressure source to the SAV actuator when in fluid communication with the SAV actuator. A manual override (MOR) valve selector is disposed between the first pressure valve, the second pressure valve, and the SAV actuator, the MOR valve selector configured to selectively fluidly connect the first pressure valve and the SAV actuator in a first position and to fluidly connect the second pressure valve and the SAV actuator in a second position.

    Abstract: A shut-off valve system includes a tank having an inlet and an outlet with a flow path defined therebetween. A float within the tank occludes the tank outlet at a first fluid level under positive G forces and unoccludes the tank outlet at a second fluid level under positive G forces. A flow restricting orifice and/or a hydraulic fuse is downstream of float and tank outlet to restrict fluid communication between tank outlet and an ejector pump. A method for restricting flow in an ecology fuel return system includes recovering fuel from engine components, communicating the fuel to an inlet of a fuel tank, pumping the fuel from an outlet of fuel tank to an inlet of an engine when a float within tank unoccludes the outlet of the fuel tank, and restricting fluid flow from tank outlet to an ejector pump with a flow restricting orifice and/or a hydraulic fuse.
