Abstract: An actuator system can include a first actuator, a second actuator, a first actuator control device configured to control the first actuator, a second actuator control device configured to control the second actuator, a shared redundant actuator control device, and at least one transfer device operatively connected to the first, second, and shared redundant actuator control devices. The at least one transfer device can be configured to be operated to select between a first control mode where the first actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the second actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator, a second control mode where the shared redundant actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the second actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator, and a third control mode where the first actuator control device is operatively connected to the first actuator to control the first actuator and the shared redundant actuator control device is operatively connected to the second actuator to control the second actuator.

Abstract: An actuator is provided. The actuator includes a first body defining an interior, a second body disposed about the first body and defining space between an exterior of the first body and an interior of the second body, a plunger including a head sealably disposed in the interior and a rod connected to the head and sealably extended through the first and second bodies and first and second fluid systems. The first fluid system is insulated from the space. A first fluid is moved relative to the interior for causing the plunger to extend or retract by way of the first fluid system. A second fluid is moved through the space by way of the second fluid system.

Abstract: A pumping system includes a first variable displacement pump having a first inlet and a first outlet. The first outlet is fluidically connected to a system outlet. A first actuator is mechanically coupled to a first displacement mechanism of the first variable displacement pump A second variable displacement pump includes a second inlet and a second outlet. The second outlet is fluidically connected to the system outlet. The pumping system also includes a second actuator mechanically coupled to a second displacement mechanism of the second variable displacement pump. An electrohydraulic servo valve is hydraulically connected to the first and second actuators. An electronic engine controller is in communication with the electrohydraulic servo valve and is configured to send electrical current to the electrohydraulic servo valve to drive the first actuator and the second actuator.

Abstract: A fluid injection system can include a main flow line, a primary flow line connected to the main flow line, and a primary flow valve disposed between the primary flow line and the main flow line and configured to allow injectant flow to the primary flow line from the main flow line in an open primary flow valve state, and to prevent injectant flow to the primary flow line from the main flow line in a closed primary flow valve state. The system can include a secondary flow line connected to the main flow line and a secondary flow valve disposed between the secondary flow line and the main flow line and configured to selectively allow injectant flow to the secondary flow line from the main flow line in an open secondary flow valve state, and to prevent injectant flow to the secondary flow line from the main flow line in a closed secondary flow valve state. The system can include a primary purge branch configured and a secondary purge branch configured to be in fluid communication with a purge gas line to receive a purge gas flow from the purge gas line.

Abstract: A transfer valve includes a spool comprising a first circumferential flow channel at a first axial position of the spool and a second circumferential flow channel at a second axial position of the spool. The first circumferential flow channel and the second circumferential flow channel have different circumferential positions and are defined only partially circumferentially, and a sleeve disposed over the spool. The sleeve includes at least three flow windows defined through the sleeve at an axial position of the sleeve, each flow window having different circumferential positions on the sleeve. The spool is configured to translate within the sleeve between a first position and a second position. The first circumferential flow channel of the spool is configured to fluidly connect a first plurality of the at least three windows in the first position, and the second circumferential flow channel is configured to connect a second plurality of the at least three windows in the second position, wherein the first plurality of windows is different by at least one window from the second plurality of windows.
