摘要： A liquid fuel pressurization and control system is disclosed which utilizes either a helical flow pump, or a helical flow pump followed by a gear pump, to pressurize liquid fuel to precisely the pressure level required by a turbogenerator's combustor injectors. This eliminates the need to overpressurize the fuel then regulate the fuel pressure down using a flow control valve or a pressure control valve. The shaft torque and shaft speed of the pump are controlled by the turbogenerator's power controller so as to assure that the turbogenerator's speed is precisely controlled (e.g. within ten (10) rpm out of one hundred thousand (100,000) rpm), and that its turbine exhaust temperature is precisely controlled (e.g. within two (2) degrees Fahrenheit out of twelve hundred (1200) degrees Fahrenheit) over the full range of turbogenerator electrical output power. The system also provides cool, high pressure air to assist atomization of the liquid fuel in the injectors utilizing a variable speed helical flow compressor. The system also adjusts the relative fuel flow through the multiple fuel injectors to aid flame stability at low turbogenerator speeds and low output power levels.

摘要： A system and method of safely discharging hydraulic fluid from a compressed gas cylinder, comprises filling first and second compressed gas cylinders with compressed gas. A compressed gas dispensing system has a pump that pumps hydraulic oil into the compressed gas cylinders to maintain a desired pressure while gas is dispensed. Gas is dispensed from the first cylinder while hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinder to maintain the desired pressure. Once the first cylinder is depleted, the hydraulic oil is discharged from the first cylinder. The process is repeated for the second cylinder. However, the hydraulic oil must be discharged from the second cylinder before the substantial depletion of the gas. To safely discharge the hydraulic oil, compressed gas from the second cylinder is distributed into the first cylinder. Once the second cylinder has reached a safe discharge pressure or volume, the hydraulic fluid is discharged.

摘要： A temperature compensated control system (100) for a hydraulically controlled clutch (18) for controlling a source of rotary power to a load (101) for accelerating the load from a first velocity to a second velocity within a time interval measured from a beginning of the acceleration and ending between first and second times measured from the beginning of the acceleration with the load being variable during the acceleration of the load from the first velocity to the second velocity is disclosed. Gain compensation is provided as a function of temperature of hydraulic fluid within a servo system (110) controlling the clutch. Furthermore, a controller (39) controls the opening of a valve (35) as a function of the sensed temperature during initiation of starting to cause the flow of lubricating fluid into the gearbox to be delayed during the initiation of starting when a sensed temperature is below a set temperature to minimize viscous drag and to cause lubricating fluid to flow immediately into the gearbox when the sensed temperature is above the set temperature.

摘要： A fixed and/or stationary modular unit consists of a hydraulic fluid tank, a variable frequency drive consisting of a variable frequency controller, a variable frequency motor, and a pressurization pump. A compressed gas transportation system consists of a cylinder or set of cylinders. Each cylinder has a charging port and a dispensing port. A pair of valves are located at each charging port of each cylinder, with one valve connected to an incoming hydraulic fluid line and the other valve connected to a hydraulic fluid return line. A valve is connected at the dispensing port of each cylinder. As gas is dispensed from cylinders, hydraulic fluid is pumped from the tank by the variable frequency drive into the cylinder at a rate substantially equal to the dispensing rate of the compressed gas to maintain a constant pressure within the cylinder.
