摘要:
A fuel control system for a gas turbine engine has a pump, a variable metering device and a servo-operated throttle valve connected in series. A spill valve at the pump outlet is responsive to a servo pressure which is dependent on engine speed and on the total pressure drop across the metering device and the throttle valve. A selector valve is effective in one of its positions to shut the throttle valve and simultaneously to modify the servo pressure to the spill valve so as to increase spill flow to a maximum.

A throttle valve arrangement includes a fixed orifice in series with a variable orifice constituted by a throttle valve member coacting with ports. The throttle valve member is spring loaded to a fully open position and has an area at one end subjected to the pressure downstream of the fixed orifice to urge the throttle valve member in the same direction as the spring loading. A smaller area at the opposite end is subjected to the pressure upstream of the fixed restrictor. A step in the valve member is subjected to pressure downstream of the variable restrictor.

A method includes combusting a fuel and an oxidant in a combustor of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) gas turbine system that produces electrical power and provides a portion of the electrical power to an electrical grid. The method further includes controlling, via one or more processors, one or more parameters of the EGR gas turbine system to decrease the portion of the electrical power provided to the electrical grid in response to an over-frequency event associated with the electrical grid, wherein controlling the one or more parameters comprises decreasing a flow rate of fuel to the combustor in response to the over-frequency event.

A power station (10) is provided having a turbine shafting (11) including a gas turbine (12) and a generator (18) which is driven directly by the gas turbine (12), produces alternating current at an operating frequency and whose output is connected to an electrical grid (21) with a predetermined grid frequency. An electronic decoupling apparatus or a variable electronic gearbox (27) is arranged between the generator (18) and the electrical grid (21), and decouples the operating frequency from the grid frequency.

A fuel metering device (101) and method for metering fuel to an engine (129) provides bumpless transfer to a backup mode. A common cavity (125) provides pressure relief, fuel metering and bypass of fuel flow. A metering valve (120) for scheduling fuel flow to the engine (129) and the metering valve (120) is controlled in either a primary mode or a backup mode. A pressure relief valve (123) limits the maximum pump discharge pressure of a fuel pump. A bypass valve (122) maintains a constant pressure across the metering valve (120) by redirecting non-metered fuel flow back to a pump stage inlet. An electrical clutch (131) determines whether the metering valve (120) function is accomplished by said primary mode or said backup mode. Bumpless transfer to a backup is accomplished automatically.
摘要:
A hydromechanical control system for a variable delivery, positive displacement fuel pump includes a variable area orifice metering window through which fuel from the pump outlet passes on its way to a gas turbine aircraft engine. The fuel pressures on either side of the fuel metering window are ported to corresponding sides of a spool of a pump control valve. The position of the valve spool controls the fuel flow to either side of a pump control actuator, whose movement varies the displacement of the pump. A bypass fuel flow upstream of the fuel metering valve is also ported to the pump control valve. During steady-state pump operation, a relatively small and constant value of fuel flow is bypassed through the pump control valve and back to the pump inlet. However, upon increasing or decreasing pump speed transients, the bypass fuel flow is increased or decreased in a proportional amount. In this way, improved control of the pump during transient conditions is achieved.

A fuel control system for a gas turbine engine has a metering valve and a shut-off valve in series, and a spill valve for spilling fuel from upstream of the metering valve in response to an overspeed condition of the engine. The spill valve and shut-off valve are responsive to respective servo pressures, and an electrically operated valve can control both servo pressures in response to a demand to shut down the engine. The electrically operated valve can also control a third servo pressure for setting a minimum flow limiting stop in the metering valve to a lower limiting level during engine starting.

A modular control sub-assembly in a fuel control system for a turbine engine such as a jet engine, comprises a pressure drop detector constituted by a slide axially movable in a bore of a casing, and an overspeed limiter disposed coaxially in said casing at one end of the bore containing the detector slide. The slide is rotatably driven by the overspeed limiter through a fork coupling and, when the plant overspeed threshold is exceeded, the slide is moved axially by the overspeed limiter in the same direction as on detecting an increase in the pressure drop across a fuel flow feed regulator to reduce an output control pressure signal and thereby cause a control valve to open which reduces the fuel flow and hence the overspeed.
