    摘要: A fuel system for a composite aircraft is described which includes an ejector pump having a vacuum inlet in communication with a fuel storage tank, an engine feed pump having an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet of the ejector pump, a primary outlet in communication with an engine, and a motive flow outlet, upstream of an oil-fuel heat exchanger, that is in fluid communication with an inlet of the ejector pump. A motive flow pump assembly is disposed between the motive flow outlet of the engine feed pump and the inlet of the ejector pump. The motive flow pump assembly includes an inlet screen and a motive flow pump, the inlet screen having a plurality of openings therein and a hydrophobic upstream surface. The openings are dimensioned to prevent passage of particles greater than a selected threshold size while allowing liquids to flow therethrough.

    摘要: A fuel feed circuit for an aeroengine, the circuit including a high-pressure pumping system for delivering fuel at high pressure to combustion chamber injectors, the high-pressure pumping system including first and second positive displacement gear pumps driven simultaneously by the engine. A hydraulic switch member is interposed between respective outlets of the pumps, which makes it possible, in one state, to combine outlet flows from the two pumps to deliver fuel at high pressure to the combustion chamber injectors, and in another state, to discharge some or all of outlet flow from the first pump to a low-pressure feed line, an electrical control member serving to cause the hydraulic switch member to pass from one state to the other.

    摘要: A fuel system for an aircraft is provided having an improved fluid circuit and method of operation. Un-burnt fuel is directed via a return loop towards a fuel tank reservoir. A turbine is located in the return loop and upstream from the fuel tank. The pressurized un-burnt fuel energizes the turbine and the fuel passes to the fuel tank. The turbine is harnessed to a generator for providing a power.

    摘要: A fuel system for a turbine engine is provided. The fuel system includes a positive displacement pump driven by an electric motor. The pump is rotated in a first direction to deliver fuel to the turbine engine, and a second direction for evacuating fuel from the turbine engine. A shut-off check valve is open in a first direction in response to a first differential pressure created by the pump in the first direction. The shut-off check valve is biased to a closed position when the pump is rotating in the second direction. An ecology check valve is biased to a closed position in the first direction and open in the second direction in response to a second differential pressure created by the pump. The check valves open and close automatically in response to the pressures generated by the positive displacement pump in each of the first and second rotational directions. In this manner, simple, reliable valves are utilized to regulate the flow of fuel in the fuel system.

    摘要: An overthrust protection system for a gas turbine in which fuel is supplied at a controlled flow rate to a combustor (4) of the gas turbine. The overthrust protection system uses a bypass valve (24) to divert fuel flow away from the combustor (4). The opening of this valve is controlled by an overthrust controller (28) to divert fuel flow in response to a detected overthrust condition of the gas turbine. Diverting some of the fuel flow in this manner brings about a reduction in the thrust, allowing the overthrust condition to be controlled without resorting to a complete shut down of the gas turbine.

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward an ecology valve that drains working fuel to the sump chamber of the ecology valve upon engine shut down. The ecology valve has a piston slidable in the piston chamber between shut-off and run positions. The piston divides the piston chamber into a sump chamber and an actuation chamber. Upon engine shut down, the piston slides toward the shut-off position and suctions sufficient fuel from the fuel manifold into the sump chamber to prevent coking of the nozzles. Upon the next engine start up, the actuation chamber is pressurized which drives the piston toward the run position and returns fuel contained in sump chamber to the fuel manifold. A drain passageway opens and fluidically connects the actuation chamber to sump chamber when the piston is sliding toward the shut-off position which allows fuel contained in the actuation chamber to drain to the sump chamber.
