  • Multivariable actuator pressure control
    Patent number: 9841039
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use with a variable pressure actuator control system for a gas turbine engine are provided. A variable pressure actuator control system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a controller, a pressure regulating electro-hydraulic servo valve assembly (P-EHSV), including a variable restriction flow path, in electronic communication with the controller, a position regulating electro-hydraulic servo valve assembly (X-EHSV), including a network of flow paths, in electronic communication with the controller, a bypass regulator (BPR) in fluid communication with at least one of a pump, the P-EHSV, or the X-EHSV, the BPR configured to be controlled by the P-EHSV via a bypass pressure to vary an available pressure, and an actuator comprising an actuator piston. The variable pressure actuator control system may minimize pressure when possible to increase mission capability for a gas turbine engine.
