摘要:
A method of controlling the temperature of intake air provided from outside air passing through an air-feed system only utilizes an especially low heating of the intake air while at the same time safely avoiding the formation of ice in the intake air, in order to avoid efficiency losses. A temperature setpoint formed by the sum of the dew point of the outside air and an additive margin of safety is preselected for the intake air. A temperature setpoint of not more than the sum of 0° C. and the margin of safety is advantageously preselected. A temperature-control device for carrying out the method and a gas turbine having the temperature-control device are also provided.
摘要:
A control arrangement for a fuel system having a fuel pump (13) for supplying fuel through a variable orifice flow metering valve (15) to an engine main fuel control (45), the control (45) controlling the fuel pressure differential across the orifice of the metering valve (15). A head sensor includes a movable diaphragm (51), a bypass valve (47) for diverting fuel from the fuel pump away from the metering valve (15), and a coupling between the diaphragm (51) and the bypass valve (47) whereby the bypass valve (47) opens and closes in response to diaphragm (51) motion. The metering valve orifice fuel pressure differential is applied across the diaphragm (51) so that a valve spool (55) may open and close to maintain the pressure differential across the metering valve (15) substantially constant. A bias spring (54) normally biases the spool (55) closed. An electrically variable bias force may be applied to the diaphragm (51) to selectively increase or decrease the normally maintained pressure differential across the metering valve (15) and, therefore, also selectively increase or decrease the fuel flow to the engine. The electrically variable bias force is applied by a linear actuator (50, 80) which includes a helical actuating coil (61, 77), a rod (63; 79a,b,c) extending through the helical coil (61, 77) and a permanent magnet (59;73, 75) fixed to the rod (63; 79a,b,c) and spaced axially from the coil (61, 77). When an energizing current is supplied to the coil (61, 77), force is applied to the magnet (59;73, 75) which is generally proportional to the distance between the coil (61, 77) and the magnet (59;73, 75). A second force is also applied to the rod (63; 79a,b,c) and is generally proportional to rod position. The resultant of the two forces is substantially independent of the spacing between the coil (61, 77) and the permanent magnet (59;73, 75). When two magnets (73, 75) are used, the sum of the two distances from the coil (77) to the magnets (73, 75) is maintained constant.

A tandem turbine-blade cascade for a turbine, turbo-engine or power engine includes at least two rows of blades disposed substantially directly in line with one another in the rotor or stator. The second row of blades has a larger number of blades than the first row of blades and the second row of blades are distributed nonuniformly. The spacing (s.sub.1) between two blades of the first row of blades is substantially equal to the sum (s.sub.2) of two successive blade spacings (s.sub.12, s.sub.22) in the second row of blades and the distribution quotient (s.sub.12 /s.sub.22) of the blade spacings in the second row is in the range between 0.4 and 1.0.
摘要:
A rocket motor assembly is provided with multiple pintle nozzles and a controller for adjusting the pintle position in the nozzles to generate a thrust differential, while maintaining the combustion pressure at equilibrium pressure by maintaining the sum of the throat areas of all of the pintle nozzles constant, for example. In this manner, proportional thrust control and very high response times are achieved. The controller also includes a pressure correction circuit that senses any difference between the actual combustion chamber pressure and the selected equilibrium pressure upon which the thrust differential was based, converts that to an error value, and sends a command signal to each pintle actuator so that each pintle position is adjusted an equal amount to compensate for the sensed pressure difference and maintain the combustion chamber pressure at the selected equilibrium pressure.

Flexibility in the control of the compressor bleed valve is of the type utilized in a twin spool axial flow engine for preventing compressor surge is manifested by electronically summing an approximated rate of change of burner pressure that has a first order time constant introduced to actual burner pressure and a burner pressure limit that is scheduled as a function of corrected high pressure compressor speed and the altitude of the aircraft. The signal may be treated by a hysteresis circuit to stabilize the bleed valve.
摘要:
A metering valve (20) for supplying a turbine engine with a fuel at a substantially constant flow rate in response to operational conditions evaluated by a computer (28). A signal from the computer (28) in the form of voltage pulses is supplied to a solenoid (30). The solenoid (30) regulates the flow of fuel from a control chamber (54) to produce a fuel pressure P.sub.x therein. The fuel enters a supply chamber (46) and the fuel pressure P.sub.1 thereof acts on the effective area of a first diaphragm (42) to move face (70) on plunger (68) away from seat (38) in opposition to a closing force generated by the fluid pressure P.sub.x acting on a second diaphragm (48). A feedback valve (90) regulates the flow of fuel from supply chamber (46) to control chamber (54). By making the size of the first diaphragm (42) one half the size of the second diaphragm (48) when P.sub.x is equal to one half of the sum of fuel pressures P.sub.1 and P.sub.2, an equilibrium condition exists and fuel is supplied to the outlet conduit (40) at a substantially constant rate for distribution to a turbine engine.
摘要:
A microprocessor-based controller for an extraction type steam turbine-generator unit capable of selecting from a variety of predetermined control strategies and implementing corresponding valve position control loops by generating appropriate valve position control signals in accordance with operator-chosen setpoint signals and turbine operating level signals. In a particular control strategy, automatic compensation of megawatt output is achieved during the extraction mode of turbine operation by summing a megawatt setpoint signal from a feedback loop with a feedforward extraction valve setpoint signal and a megawatt reference signal, which sum is then applied to the turbine control valves to enable tight megawatt control during the extraction operation.
摘要:
An adjustable gain controller for a steam turbine valve position control loop includes an electronic operator, a proportional controller, a derivative controller and an integral controller. A steam flow condition error signal is amplified by the reciprocal of the valve's regulation value. The amplified error signal is supplied to the electronic operator and to the integral controller. The electronic operator includes means for initially selecting a value of A and n and generating a gain factor from a nonlinear gain characteristic function utilizing those values in combination with the valve's regulation value and the normalized error signal. The electronic operator multiplies the amplified error signal by the gain factor and applies the resultant signal to the proportional controller and the derivative controller. The output signals from the proportional, derivative and integral controllers are summed together and that sum is input into an electrohydraulic valve actuator system. The electrohydraulic valve actuator directly positions the steam valve. Hydraulic and mechanical jitter is reduced by adjusting the values of A and n to reduce the jitter in the electrohydraulic valve actuator system.
