  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLAME STABILIZATION
    Publication number: 20130152597
    Abstract: A system and method for flame stabilization is provided that forestalls incipient lean blow out by improving flame stabilization. A combustor profile is selected that maintains desired levels of power output while minimizing or eliminating overboard air bleed and minimizing emissions. The selected combustor profile maintains average shaft power in a range of from approximately 50% up to full power while eliminating overboard air bleed in maintaining such power settings. Embodiments allow for a combustor to operate with acceptable emissions at lower flame temperature. Because the combustor can operate at lower bulk flame temperatures during part power operation, the usage of inefficient overboard bleed can be reduced or even eliminated.

  • ACTUATOR POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT HAVING FAIL-SAFE BYPASS SWITCHING
    Publication number: 20130082634
    Abstract: A system for controlling power to actuators. For example, a controller may output a signal having a variable duty cycle waveform for controlling current to an actuator via an interface circuit between the controller and the actuator. Changing the duty cycle may change the amount of current to the actuator. The controller may provide a control signal that optimizes power consumption by the actuator for efficiency purposes. However, if the controller fails, then no control signal may be available to allow current to the actuator, particularly in situations where the actuator may need to be operationally tested. To avoid such situations, fail-safe bypass switching may be incorporated into the interface circuit. Upon absence of a control signal from the controller, the circuit may provide a default signal in lieu of the control signal to maintain current to the actuator.
