    摘要: A fuel pump includes a bearing element disposed in proximity to an impeller. The bearing element is configured to form a fuel seal with the impeller and to drain fuel leaked from the pump chamber back into the pump chamber. The bearing element minimizes leakage of fuel from the pump chamber into an engine coupled to the impeller. The fuel pump also includes redundant lip seals configured to provide redundant sealing relative to a shaft of the impeller within the fuel pump in order to minimize engine oil from entering the pump chamber and to minimize fuel from entering the engine. Integration of both the bearing element and the redundant lip seals as part of the fuel pump results in the fuel pump having a relatively compact size.

    摘要: An aircraft engine power distribution system for an aircraft engine controller, such as a FADEC, is provided where the power source is independent from the conventional airframe power system, without the need for a back-up battery. The aircraft engine power distribution system includes a magnetic generator operated by an aircraft engine. The aircraft engine power distribution system also includes a power distributor that rectifies the generator output and provides the rectified power to the engine controller as its primary source of power. In this configuration, as long as the aircraft engine is able to operate the magnetic generator, the engine controller receives power. Accordingly, the engine controller operates regardless of the operational status of the airframe power system.

    摘要: An engine test system includes a base constructed and arranged to reside at a fixed location. The system further includes an engine support member constructed and arranged to concurrently support an engine and move relative to the base. The system further includes a linear transducer having (i) a first portion supported by the base, (ii) a second portion supported by the engine support member, and (iii) a circuit adjacent the first and second portions. The circuit is constructed and arranged to provide a linear transducer signal identifying an amount of linear compression and/or tension between the engine support member and the base along a predefined direction. When the linear transducer resides at a break in station, such an embodiment provides a simple, low cost mechanism which is capable of providing a horsepower measurement for every engine passing through the break in station.

The air passage mechanism has an air intake end and an air outlet end and is constructed and arranged to accommodate airflow therethrough. the air passage mechanism having a first surface portion formed on an outer surface thereon. The modular fuel pressure modifying mechanism is constructed and arranged to receive fuel from a supply and deliver a portion of the hid at a pressure that is different from the pressure of the fuel supply, the modular fuel pressure modifying mechanism being removably mountable to the first surface portion of the air passage mechanism. The modular fuel pressure modifying mechanism is constructed and arranged to he calibrated prior to being mounted to the air passage mechanism. The fuel regulator mechanism is constructed and arranged to communicate with the airflow in the air passage mechanism and the modular fuel pressure modifying mechanism to regulate an amount of fuel delivered to the engine. The modular fuel pressure modifying mechanism and the modular fuel regulator mechanism are removably mountable to the modular air passage mechanism independently from each other.

    摘要: A crankshaft detection system includes a pickup element mounted to an end of a crankshaft and disposed within a rear portion of the aircraft engine's crankcase. The crankshaft detection system also includes pickup element sensor secured to a mounting location formed in the rear portion of the aircraft engine's crankcase and disposed in proximity to the pickup element. As the crankshaft rotates the pickup element relative to the pickup element sensor, the pickup element causes the pickup element sensor to generate a signal indicative of the angular velocity and rotational position of the crankshaft. In order to optimize engine performance, in response to the signal, the controller controls a spark event associated with each the cylinder assembly of the engine such that ignition of the fuel and air mixture occurs within each cylinder assembly at a time prior to each piston of each cylinder assembly reaching a top dead center position.

    摘要: A fuel injector mounting assembly is configured to limit or constrain movement of a fuel injector relative to a corresponding cylinder assembly. For example, the fuel injector mounting assembly includes a base that is secured to a cylinder assembly's housing and a fuel conduit. The fuel conduit includes a first fuel conduit portion which operates in conjunction with a cylinder assembly's fuel manifold to capture a fuel injector between the fuel injector mounting assembly and the cylinder assembly's fuel manifold. The fuel conduit also includes a second fuel conduit portion which is secured to a compliant fuel line. With such a configuration of the fuel injector mounting assembly, both ends of the fuel injector are secured to the cylinder assembly to minimize any relative motion in the fuel injector's seals relative to either the cylinder assembly's fuel manifold or to the compliant fuel line.
