Abstract: A system includes an actuation pump sub-system (APS). A fuel oil cooler (FOC) is included in a first branch of a supply line. The FOC is in fluid communication to receive flow from a second outlet of the APS. The APS includes a bypass valve (BPV) in a second branch of the supply line, in parallel with the FOC and in fluid communication to allow flow from the third outlet into the supply line bypassing the FOC. A combined main and augmentor pump sub-system (CMAPS) has a main inlet connected in fluid communication with the supply line downstream of the BPV and FOC, a gas generator (GG) outlet for supplying fuel to a downstream gas generator, and an augmentor outlet for supplying fuel to a downstream augmentor.

Abstract: A system includes a burn flow line and a flow divider valve in fluid communication with the burn flow line to split flow from the burn flow line to a primary line and to a secondary line for supplying fuel to a set of primary engine nozzles and to a set of secondary engine nozzles, respectively. A sensor operatively connected to the flow divider valve to produce a feedback signal indicative of flow split between the primary line and the secondary line. A controller is operatively connected to receive the feedback signal from the senor, compare the feedback signal to a stored flow split value for a mismatch, and output an alert message upon detecting the mismatch.

Abstract: A method includes using two parallel electrohydraulic servo valves EHSVs with a single transfer valve to move an actuator during a normal operation mode. The method includes upon failure of one of the EHSVs, using the single transfer valve to disconnect a non-operational one of the EHSVs and continuing to move the actuator with a functional one of the EHSVs in a backup mode.

Abstract: A dual valve fuel metering system comprising a flow path defined between a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet. The flow path includes a primary flow path and a secondary flow path, wherein the fuel outlet is configured and adapted to be in fluid communication with at least one engine fuel manifold. A primary flow metering valve configured and adapted to meter flow on the primary flow path. A secondary flow metering valve configured and adapted to meter flow on the secondary flow path.

Abstract: A metering valve has a shutoff position at which it blocks flow from the metering valve outlet line from reaching an outlet to a use. A spool has a first end and a second end. The housing has a first shoulder associated with the first end and a second shoulder associated with the second end. In the shutoff position, the spool has the first end spaced from the first shoulder, and the second end spaced from the second shoulder. A fuel system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system includes a flow inlet conduit and a primary conduit that branches from the flow inlet conduit for delivering flow to a set of primary nozzles. An equalization bypass valve (EBV) connects between the flow inlet conduit and a secondary conduit for delivering flow to a set of secondary nozzles. The EBV is connected to an equalization conduit (EC). A pressure equalization solenoid is connected to the EC to selectively connect a servo supply pressure conduit and/or a return pressure (PDF) conduit into fluid communication with the EC. An EBV rate limiting orifice (RLO) is connected in the PDF conduit. A bypass conduit branches from the PDF conduit on a first side of the EBV RLO and reconnects to the PDF conduit on a second side of the EBV RLO. An orifice bypass valve (OBV) is connected to the bypass conduit and acts to selectively bypass the EBV RLO.
