Abstract: A fluid valve use in a turbomachine in a high temperature location includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a fluid circuit defined between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and a solenoid including a solenoid casing. The solenoid is disposed between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet. The solenoid is configured to move a valve member between a closed position, at least one partially open position (e.g., any number of suitable positions), and a fully open position to selectively meter fluid flow through the fluid circuit. The fluid valve can include a valve casing, wherein the solenoid and valve member are disposed in the valve casing.

Abstract: A fluid valve for a gas turbine engine includes a valve body with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a fluid circuit extending between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and a linkage. The linkage is arranged within the fluid circuit between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet to apply effort from a solenoid actuator to a valve member movable between first and second positions within the fluid circuit to meter fluid flow between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet to issue fuel into a combustor of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A segment of a fluid manifold includes a flexible thermal shield with an insulation space defined inboard of the thermal shield to provide thermal isolation from conditions external to the thermal shield. The thermal shield includes a helically corrugated metal tube having opposed first and second ends. An outer collar is threaded to an end of the helically corrugated metal tube. The outer collar includes a crimped portion and an uncrimped portion. The uncrimped portion is spaced apart from the corrugated helical metal tube more than the crimped portion to define a vent between the outer collar and the corrugated helical metal tube in venting communication with the insulation space to vent hot gases.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a fuel manifold segment for supplying fuel to a fuel injector. The fuel manifold segment contains a fuel line surrounded by a first firesleeve. A pigtail line connects to the fuel line. A connector on the pigtail line connects to a fuel injector inlet fitting. A second firesleeve surrounds the first firesleeve. A cuff surrounds the pigtail line, portion of first firesleeve, and portion of fuel line to which the pigtail line is connected. A boot then surrounds the connector.
