Abstract: An aircraft engine fuel supply circuit includes a high pressure pump for supplying the engine fuel injectors and supplying a plurality of servovalves for operating various auxiliary mechanisms. In an in-flight re-ignition configuration, with the rotational speed of the engine drops below a threshold value, a fuel economizer valve receives a command to close, thereby shutting off the supply of high pressure fuel to the servovalves. Consequently, the dimensions of the high pressure pump and other associated components in the circuit, especially heat exchangers, may be reduced.

Abstract: A device for controlling fuel pressure and delivery as necessary for the operation of the servovalves of an aircraft engine is disposed downstream of a fuel injector feed unit of the engine. The device comprises a chamber maintained at the servovalve feed pressure by the movement of a closure member to vary the opening of a port of the chamber. The closure member moves under the action of opposing forces comprising inter alia a force in the opening direction proportional to the servovalve feed pressure. An equilibrium position of the closure member is a function of pressure resulting from the engine speed. An injector delivery control loop is therefore isolated from a servovalve pressure and delivery control loop.
