    摘要: A system and method for operating a gas turbine engine are provided. The system and method remove fuel from a fuel manifold during a low-power mode of operation of the gas turbine engine. The method includes supplying fuel to a combustor of the gas turbine engine via a first manifold and a second manifold during a first mode of operation; stopping fuel supply to the combustor via the second manifold and continuing to supply fuel to the combustor via the first manifold during a second mode of operation; and, after stopping fuel supply to the combustor via the second manifold, purging fuel from the second manifold using a pressure inside the combustor to drive the fuel in the second manifold away from the combustor.

    摘要: A combustion staging system includes a splitting unit which receives a metered fuel flow and controllably splits the received fuel flow into pilot and mains flows. Pilot and mains fuel manifolds distribute fuel from the splitting unit to the pilot and mains stages. The splitting unit selects and deselects pilot-only operation. Both pilot and mains manifolds are selectable for pilot and mains operation. A cooling flow recirculation line has a delivery section arranged to provide a cooling flow of fuel to the mains manifold when it is deselected during pilot-only operation. Cooling flow enters the delivery section from a high pressure fuel zone of the engine and exits the return section to a low pressure fuel zone of the engine. A controller adjusts the splitting unit during pilot-only operation to partially select the mains manifold thereby increasing the pressure in the mains manifold to meet a target fuel pressure therein.

    摘要: In a method for operating a fuel supply for a heat engine, in a first step the block valve (4) and the control valve (5) are closed, with the vent valve (7) closed. In a second step, the vent valve (7) is opened so that fuel volume (V1) which is present in the fuel line section (1′) and vent line (6′) can drain. In a third step, the vent valve (7) is closed. In a fourth step, the control valve (5) is opened. In a fifth step, the fuel volume (V1) is replenished by a pressure-driven backflow of fuel from the combustion process (3). In a sixth step, the control valve (5) is closed and then the vent valve (7) is opened, for draining of the replenished fuel volume (V1) which has been formed there on account of the action taken according to the fifth step.

    摘要: A fuel flow control valve is adapted to control the flow of fuel in a spill line to control the amount of fuel usable in a two speed gas turbine. The valve includes fluid pressure operated valve means controlled by two variable volume fluid pressure chambers to provide appropriate fuel flow for `run` and `idle` conditions, and positioning means to automatically position the fluid pressure operated valve means when the control valve is at rest to provide a flow of fuel appropriate for `start-up` of the gas turbine that is greater than the flow required in the `idle` condition but less than that required in the `run` condition. Operating fluid pressures connected to the chambers may comprise either gaseous fluid pressures tapped from a stage of the compressor of the gas turbine or a combination of said gaseous pressure source and a liquid fluid pressure source preferably comprising a fuel pressure supply tapped from the fuel supply line to the gas turbine.

    摘要: An electrical control system for a fuel circuit including a low pressure pump, a high pressure pump, a throttle valve and a pressurizing valve connected in series between a fuel reservoir and the fuel injectors of a gas turbine engine includes a first device including a first solenoid controlled valve capable of interruption of the connection between the outlet of the throttle valve and an inlet to a pressure drop detector which is normally connected across the throttle valve. The output of the pressure drop detector controls a control valve which can by-pass high pressure fuel output from the high pressure pump back to the pump inlet. The first device includes two, identical, parallel control channels each provided with its own independent power supply, a control first switch with two positions each leading to a respective processing circuit which has its output connected to one terminal of a respective solenoid winding of the bistable first solenoid controlled valve. In the "start" position of the first switch each channel independently causes operation of its respective first solenoid controlled valve to make the fuel circuit between the output of the throttle valve and the input of the pressure drop detector allowing fuel to be supplied to the start-up injectors and then the main injectors of the jet engine. In the "stop" position the signal is processed to operate the bistable valves to "break" the fuel circuit between the output of the supply regulator and the input to the pressure detector. This causes the by-pass valve to by-pass the fuel from the outlet to the inlet of the high pressure pump, cutting off the fuel supply to the injectors and stopping the engine. A second device acts directly in the by-pass valve to supply the fuel reservoir pressure instead of the outlet from the pressure drop detector to the control input of the by-pass valve so as to cause the by-pass valve to open so that fuel is recirculated from the high pressure pump to its input. This second device acts as a safety cut-off device in the event of failure of the first device.

    摘要: A fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine such as a gascoupled vehicle driving engine includes a pump driven by the engine, a resistance valve between the pump outlet and the engine combustion chamber fuel nozzle, and a by-pass from the pump outlet to the pump inlet flowing through a by-pass valve and a resistance valve in series. The fuel nozzle provides a fuel metering orifice. The by-pass valve is biased to open by fuel pump discharge pressure and is biased to close by a pressure derived from the engine compressor discharge pressure. Compressor discharge pressure is fed through an orifice into a chamber to bias a diaphragm which operates to close the valve. Compensation for ambient temperature and pressure are provided by suitably controlled bleeds from this chamber. Limitation of metered fuel pressure for acceleration is accomplished by the compressor discharge pressure as so modified, and steady state fuel pressure is limited by a relief valve from the chamber the pressure setting of which is varied by manual control. The resistance valve in the engine fuel line establishes a suitable bias tending to open the by-pass valve to accommodate its characteristics to those of the engine, and a resistance valve in the by-pass line which has a higher setting enforces flow of fuel to the engine during starting.

    摘要: A fuel control disclosed in connection with a gas-coupled gas tubine engine for shaft power output purposes. The fuel control is supplied by a transfer pump and a pressure pump in series and delivers fuel to a nozzle in the engine combustion apparatus. The control receives an input of gas generator speed and an input of compressor discharge pressure. It receives electrical inputs serving to limit turbine inlet temperature and power turbine speed, and may include an electrical On-Off input. Flow of fuel to the engine is directly controlled by a slave valve which responds to pressure of fuel delivered to the nozzle and to a control pressure derived from the pressure pump outlet. The control pressure is developed between an upstream orifice and parallel downstream valves which include a solenoid valve operated to limit turbine inlet temperature and power turbine speed, a valve responsive to compressor discharge pressure, and a governor valve responsive to gas generator turbine speed. The OnOff control bleeds the nozzle to the fuel tank when the engine is turned off. During engine deceleration, the slave valve stops fuel flow without emptying the nozzle and the fuel line to it. The metering head across the slave valve is controlled by a differential pressure responsive by-pass valve which discharges excess fuel to the pressure pump inlet. The by-pass valve may define a passage for fuel to maintain a pilot flame during deceleration.
