060741000 | Fuel control valve integral with injector | 7 |
20090077973 | Gas Turbine Fuel System for High Altitude Starting and Operation - A fuel system for a gas turbine engine comprises a set of starting fuel injectors that operate in a fuel pressurised atomisation mode to atomise fuel that flows therethrough during an ignition and a post-ignition phase and a set of main fuel injectors that operate in an air blast mode to atomise fuel that flows therethrough during the post-ignition phase and a high altitude ready to load phase and an air assist mode to control the pattern of fuel atomisation during a loaded phase. | 03-26-2009 |
20100037615 | MULTI-STAGE CHECK VALVE - A multi-stage check valve includes a valve housing defining an internal valve chamber. A main valve member within the valve chamber of the valve housing has an internal valve chamber. In the first position thereof the main valve member blocks fuel below a predetermined main pressure from flowing through a main fuel path. In the second position thereof the main valve member is displaced to allow fuel above the predetermined main pressure to flow through the main fuel path. The multi-stage check valve also includes a pilot valve member within the valve chamber of the main valve member. In the first position thereof, the pilot valve member blocks fuel below a predetermined pilot pressure from flowing through a pilot fuel path. In the second position thereof, the pilot valve member is displaced to allow fuel above the predetermined pilot pressure to flow through the pilot fuel path. | 02-18-2010 |
20140075950 | MINIMUM PRESSURE SHUT-OFF VALVE - A minimum pressure shut-off valve closes off fuel flow responsive fuel pressure being below a predefined pressure. A sleeve includes at least a first flow window and a second flow window. The second window includes a notch providing a flow area based on an axial position of a spool moveable within the sleeve. | 03-20-2014 |
20140083104 | STROKE TRANSMITTER FOR GAS TURBINE - A stroke transmitter is presented. The stroke transmitter includes a conduit for providing a passage to a fluid, an actuating unit for increasing pressure in an hydraulic fluid, a valve unit configured to operate depending on the pressure of the hydraulic fluid, the valve unit arranged inside the conduit to regulate a flow of the fluid, and a pipe connecting the actuating unit and the valve unit for communicating the pressure of the hydraulic fluid between the actuating unit and the valve unit. The actuating unit is arranged outside the conduit. | 03-27-2014 |
20140123654 | FUEL METERING VALVE SYSTEM - A fuel metering valve system for use with a flow of fuel in a gas turbine engine may include a number of orifice plate lines, a number of differently sized orifice plates, and a number of orifice plate line valves. One of the orifice plate line valves opens and closes one of the orifice plates on the orifice plate lines. | 05-08-2014 |
20150292412 | FUEL INJECTOR FOR A TURBINE ENGINE - A fuel injector for a turbine engine, the injector including a body including a primary fuel circuit and a secondary fuel circuit fed by a metering valve. A leakage channel extends from a zone in fluid flow connection with the primary circuit to a zone in fluid flow connection with the secondary circuit. The leakage channel is configured to be open in a closed position of the metering valve and to be closed by the metering valve moving. | 10-15-2015 |
20160377039 | Variable Fluid Flow Apparatus with Integrated Filter - The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid flow trim apparatus includes an outer housing defining a cavity having an interior surface and an end wall having an orifice therethrough, a valve body comprising a first valve portion disposed at least partly within the cavity, the first valve portion and the interior surface defining a first fluid flow path, a second valve portion in contact with the interior surface and defining a second fluid flow path. A third valve portion is disposed at least partly within the cavity between the first and second valve portions. The second fluid flow path fluidically connects the third valve portion to a trim cavity. A filter media extends from the first valve portion to the second valve portion and divides a third fluid flow path fluidically connecting the first and seconds fluid flow paths. | 12-29-2016 |
