摘要： A system for controlling lubricant displacement from a machine during turbomachine shutdown sequence includes a motor, a pump, a control valve, and a motor control unit. The motor is selectively energized from a power bus to rotate at a rotational speed and supply a drive force to the pump. The pump, in response to the drive force, draws fluid from a fluid and supplies the fluid to the machine. The control valve is movable between at least a first position, in which the control valve fluidly communicates the pump with a lubrication fluid source, and a second position, in which the control valve fluidly communicates the pump with a gaseous fluid source. During the shutdown sequence, the motor control unit controllably energizes the motor from the power bus to thereby control its rotational speed in accordance with a schedule that will displace at least a substantial volume of lubricant in the rotating machine with fluid from the gaseous fluid source.

摘要： A system and method are provided to selectively control lubricant supply flow to one or more rotating machines in an aircraft when the rotating machines are windmilling. A controller determines if the rotating machines are windmilling. When the rotating machines are windmilling, the controller at least selectively energizes an electric motor driven lubrication pump, to thereby supply lubricant to the windmilling turbomachine.

摘要： A system and method for controlling the rotational speed of a gas turbine engine in an aircraft includes appropriate devices and processes for determining a pressure of lubricant supplied to the turbine engine, and for determining a maneuver state of the aircraft. The rotational speed of the gas turbine engine is controlled based at least partially on the determined pressure and the determined maneuver state. Thus, if the aircraft is in a maneuver state that may cause a reduction or loss of lubricant to the gas turbine engine, the rotational speed of the gas turbine engine can be reduced to a magnitude sufficient to increase turbomachine tolerance to the reduced or no lubricant flow.

摘要： An apparatus and method is provided to start gas turbine engines at cold start. A gearbox is not mechanically coupled to any accessory or to the starter-generator. Rather, a controller is used to route power to a starter-generator to rotate the turbine mainshaft to start the gas turbine engine. The controller prevents power to an accessory drive motor, until the starter-generator creates a positive torque. When a positive torque is reached, excess power is routed to the accessory drive motor, typically a brushless direct current motor.

摘要： A system and method for precisely controlling lubricant supply flow to one or more rotating machines in an aircraft includes a motor, a pump, and a motor control unit. The motor is coupled to receive motor speed commands and, in response to the commands, rotates at the commanded motor speed and supplies a drive force to the pump. The pump, upon receipt of the drive force, draws lubricant from a lubricant source and supplies it to a rotating machine. The motor control unit determines a scheduled lubricant supply pressure based at least in part on lubricant temperature, rotating machine rotational speed, and one or more aircraft operating conditions, and to supplies the motor speed commands to the motor that cause the pump to supply lubricant at the scheduled lubricant supply pressure.

摘要： A lubrication system is provided for an aircraft turbine machine, the lubrication system being controlled by a closed-loop logic arrangement, wherein the oil pressure of a lubricant circulated therein is monitored and altered according to attitude data, acceleration data, operating mode data, or some combination thereof contained in a signal received from an airframe flight controller and according to a oil pressure signal and an oil temperature signal. The logic responsively provides a supply pump speed control signal, according to a predetermined target oil pressure value selected to correspond to the data contained in the signals. The target value may be continuously compared to the present oil pressure value and the present oil pressure adjusted by sending a motor control signal to the supply pump and a valve flow control signal to a flow control valve that conditionally allows oil from the outlet side of the supply pump to be fed back to its inlet side.
