摘要: A water delivery system (18) for delivering water for injection into gas turbine engine combustor (4) includes a centrifugal pump (19) and a metering valve (23). The centrifugal pump (19) has an inlet (20) connected to a water source and a discharge (21) connected to a water supply line (22). The metering valve (23) is connected to the water supply line (22) downstream of the discharge (21) of the centrifugal pump (19). The water supply line (22) is connected to an injector nozzle (14) downstream of the metering valve (23). The metering valve (23) is operable to regulate a flow rate of water in the water supply line (22), to thereby meter an amount of water supplied to the injector nozzle (14).

摘要: A fuel nozzle metering valve that includes a spool having an inlet port and an outlet flow port, and a retainer assembled to one end of the spool. A valve liner houses a portion of the spool. The spool is configured to move back and forth within the valve liner. The metering valve is biased in a closed position in which the outlet flow port is disposed entirely within the valve liner. The valve is opened when the spool slides within the valve liner such that some portion of the outlet flow port extends beyond an end of the valve liner. The retainer has a stepped portion configured to abut an end of the retainer at a fuel flow pressure below the expected maximum fuel flow pressure to be used in the fuel nozzle metering valve.

摘要: A turbine control system is provided for decreasing the response time between readings of the speed of the turbine and changing a valve position in response thereto. The speed control system includes a speed probe that detects the speed of the turbine and a turbine valve that controls the flow of fluid or gas from or to the turbine. A controller receives a speed signal from the speed probe and sends valve position commands to the turbine valve. The controller also sends support functions to the turbine valve. The controller sends the valve position commands at a faster rate than the support functions.
