Abstract: A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet, in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet. Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrically-controlled valve is provided in fluid communication with the auxiliary circuit, which electrically-controlled valve is adapted and configured to actively control fuel through the auxiliary circuit in response to a control signal.

Abstract: A pumping system is provided. The pumping system may include a drive assembly and a pump assembly that is operatively coupled to the drive assembly. The pump assembly may include a pump configured to pressurize a fluid and a multispeed gearbox that is attached to the pump. The multispeed gearbox may be configured to transfer rotational energy from the drive assembly to the pump.

Abstract: A quintuplex mud pump includes a pair of motors (18), a crankshaft (40) supporting five eccentric lobes (44), and first and second bull gears (30). Each of two pinion shafts (20) are rotationally independent, and has a pinion gear interfacing with a respective bull gear on the crankshaft (40). Five connecting rods (46) interconnect a respective eccentric lobe and a respective piston.

Abstract: A quintuplex mud pump has a crankshaft supported in the pump by external main bearings. The crankshaft has five eccentric sheaves, two internal main bearing sheaves, and two bull gears. Each of the main bearing sheaves supports the crankshaft by a main bearing. One main bearing sheave is disposed between second and third eccentric sheaves, while the other main bearing sheave is disposed between third and fourth eccentric sheaves. One bull gear is disposed between the first and second eccentric sheaves, while the second bull gear is disposed between fourth and fifth eccentric sheaves. A pinion shaft has pinion gears interfacing with the crankshaft's bull gears. Connecting rods on the eccentric sheaves use roller bearings and transfer rotational movement of the crankshaft to pistons of the pump's fluid assembly.
