  • Pump systems for controlling pressure loads
    Patent number: 9896223
    Abstract: A pump system for controlling a pressure load delivered to an aircraft interface included in the pump system is disclosed. The pump system includes a pump circuit, a pump, and a valve system. The pump is coupled with the conduits and is configured to provide a pressure load to the aircraft interface to move fuel from a fuel reservoir through the conduits toward the aircraft interface in a fueling mode and to move fuel from the aircraft interface through the conduits toward the fuel reservoir in a defueling mode. The valve system is coupled to the conduits and configured to control the pressure load delivered to the aircraft interface to block the pressure load from exceeding either of a high-pressure threshold and a delta-pressure threshold.
