  • Sensor adapter
    Patent number: 10260426
    Abstract: An adapter for a gas turbine engine has a first portion with a control module mount interface. A second portion with a sensor mount interface defines a sensor mount position relative to a control module. A connecting body connects the first and second portions such that the second portion provides a re-orientated sensor mount position relative to the control module. A lubrication system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

  • Oil control module
    Patent number: 10041409
    Abstract: An oil control module for a gas turbine engine is provided comprising a housing on which numerous components of a lubricating system are mounted. The components may include a variable oil reduction valve/shuttle valve, a main oil pressure sensor, a main oil temperature sensor, a main oil filter delta pressure sensor, an oil debris monitor, a lube filter, an active oil damper valve, a cool oil orifice, a knock down orifice and a lube trim orifice. By packing numerous lubricating system components onto or within a housing located adjacent to the gas turbine engine, the oil control module reduces cost and weight and simplifies the maintenance of the lubricating system.
