Abstract:
Control apparatus for programmed control of a plurality of gas turbine engine compressor air bleed valves in response to a plurality of control input signals representing engine operating conditions including variable conditions related to engine power output. The control inputs are sensed and/or computed and scheduled to provide accurate and reliable control over a plurality of compressor air bleed valves by means including a hydraulic programmer with a three dimensional compressor rise scheduling can and adjustable hydraulic timers.
