Abstract: A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet, in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet. Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrically-controlled valve is provided in fluid communication with the auxiliary circuit, which electrically-controlled valve is adapted and configured to actively control fuel through the auxiliary circuit in response to a control signal.

Abstract: A system includes an injector including a scheduling valve assembly and a nozzle in fluid communication with the scheduling valve assembly. The injector includes two fluid circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit, between the inlet of the injector and two respective outlets for staged flow output. A cooling circuit is in fluid communication with the inlet of the injector. The cooling circuit is in thermal communication with the secondary circuit for selectively cooling the secondary circuit at low flow and no flow conditions of the secondary circuit. A separate valve is connected in fluid communication in the cooling circuit for controlling flow through the cooling circuit. The separate valve is configured for active control regardless of pressure at the inlet of the injector. The scheduling valve assembly is configured for passive control of the primary and secondary circuits based on pressure at the inlet of the injector.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of injectors each having a respective main circuit configured to be connected in fluid communication with one manifold for supplying fuel to each injector in the plurality of injectors. Each injector in the plurality of injectors includes a respective hydromechanical scheduling valve member configured to regulate fuel flow from a respective inlet to a respective nozzle of each injector of the plurality of injectors as a function of pressure input from the manifold to the respective main circuits. A valve block is connected in fluid communication with a respective auxiliary circuit in each injector in the plurality of injectors. The auxiliary circuit is operatively connected to adjust position of the respective scheduling valve member for actuating force modification of the scheduling valve member. The valve block is configured to control all of the injectors in the plurality of injectors as a block.
