  • Fault-tolerant bleed valve assembly
    Patent number: 8333217
    Abstract: A bleed valve assembly includes a control assembly having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The control assembly defines a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. An electromechanical valve is engaged with the control assembly. The electromechanical valve provides selective fluid communication between the passageway and the fluid outlet. A fluid sensor is in fluid communication with the passageway. The fluid sensor includes a sensing tip and is in electrical communication with the electromechanical valve. A valve is disposed in the passageway of the control assembly. The valve prevents fluid communication of non-gaseous fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet.
