  • Gas turbine fuel control having fuel viscosity compensation to provide improved ignition reliability
    Patent number: 4280323
    Abstract: An arrangement is provided for resetting the fuel inlet pressure to the throttle valve in response to sensed changes in nozzle fuel pressure to compensate for variations in the fuel viscosity resulting from changes in fuel temperature. The fuel nozzle pressure is automatically maintained at a fixed value during the ignition sequence to assure reliable ignition without overfueling throughout the range of site ambient temperature variation.
