  • Apparatus and method for testing jet engine fuel manifold flow distribution
    Patent number: 6782317
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing the flow distribution through a turbine engine fuel manifold and one or more nozzles connected to the manifold. A plurality of individual fluid measurement vessels, at least one for each of the nozzles being tested, collects test fluid pumped through the manifold and the connected nozzles. The level in each of the measurement vessels is periodically sampled during the test. The test fluid flow rate through each of the nozzles is periodically determined based on the periodically sampled levels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2004
    Assignee: Honeywell International, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert D. Mitchell, John R. Webber, Joseph M. Oloffo, Michael S. Englund
