    Abstract: A system includes a variable displacement pump (VDP) in fluid communication with an inlet line and with an outlet line. The VDP includes a variable displacement mechanism configured to vary pressure to the outlet line. A bypass valve (BPV) includes a BPV inlet in fluid communication with the outlet line, and a BPV outlet in fluid communication with a bypass line that feeds into the inlet line upstream of the VDP. An actuator is operatively connected to control the BPV to vary flow from the BPV inlet to the bypass line. A controller is operatively connected to the actuator to control recirculation flow passed through the BPV based on requested flow from a downstream system supplied by the outlet line and based on a predetermined low threshold of flow through the VDP.

    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system includes an in-tank fuel pump configured to be disposed in a fuel tank to supply fuel from the fuel tank to a fuel line at a first pressure. A boost pump is configured to be disposed in the fuel line to receive fuel from the in-tank fuel pump and supply the fuel to one or more downstream components at a boost pressure. An augmentation pump system is configured to be disposed in the fuel line to receive fuel from the boost pump and to supply fuel at a second pressure to one of, at least one fuel consuming component downstream of the augmentation pump system, or an in-tank ejector pump, based on an operational state of the in-tank fuel pump.

    Abstract: A system includes a variable displacement pump (VDP) with a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The VDP is configured to receive a flow at the pump inlet at a first pressure and to outlet a flow from the pump outlet at a second pressure elevated relative to the first pressure. The VDP includes a variable displacement mechanism configured to vary the second pressure. A controller is operatively connected to a pressure sensor and to the variable displacement mechanism for control of the VDP. An output splitter is configured to split flow from the pump outlet to a first outlet branch and to a second outlet branch for supplying two different systems each having a different pressure schedule. The output splitter is operatively connected to the controller, which is configured to control the output splitter to regulate pressure in both of the first and second outlet branches.

    Abstract: A fuel pump system includes a main fuel pump between a system fuel inlet and a system fuel outlet, a fuel flow path at least partially defined between the main fuel pump and the system fuel outlet, and a support fuel pump between the system fuel inlet and the system fuel outlet. The support fuel pump is sized to provide more flow to the system fuel outlet, when in an active state, than the main fuel pump. The system includes a valve assembly in fluid communication with the support fuel pump configured and adapted to connect the support fuel pump to the system fuel outlet, and a pressure regulating valve in fluid communication with the fuel flow path between the main fuel pump and the system fuel outlet. The system includes an EHSV in fluid communication with the fuel flow path between the PRV and the system fuel outlet.

    Abstract: A pump system for a gas turbine engine including a first pump connected to a fluid flow demand line for delivering fluid to a fluid flow demand and a second pump connected, in parallel to the first pump, to the fluid flow demand line and supplementing fluid to the actuation or burner system based on the fluid flow demand. A pressure regulating valve (PRV) is fluidly connected to the flow demand line for bypassing flow to a pump inlet pressure of the first pump and second pump, and controlling a modulated pressure flow signal to a bypass valve, wherein the bypass valve is in fluid communication with the second pump and the PRV for receiving modulated pressure from the PRV and regulating delivery of fluid from the second pump to a bypass flow line.
