Publication number: 20240068403Abstract: A system includes an injector having a scheduling valve assembly and a nozzle in fluid communication with the valve assembly. The scheduling valve assembly is configured for regulation of flow from an inlet of the injector to the nozzle. The injector includes two fluid circuits between the inlet of the injector and two respective outlets of the nozzle for staged flow output from the nozzle. A first one of the two fluid circuits is a primary circuit, and a second one of the two fluid circuits is a secondary circuit. A solenoid valve is connected in fluid communication with the scheduling valve assembly, wherein the solenoid valve is configured to adjust position of a hydromechanical valve spool of the valve assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Brandon P.

Patent number: 4554942Abstract: A process gas controller, connected to a sources of purging and process gas, includes five valves and a pressure regulator between the process gas source and the equipment. Operating the valves provides process gas to the equipment and allows the controller to be vented of process gas and purged using the purging gas. A novel pneumatic valve controller, used to control the opening and closing of the valves, provides seven different valving combinations to supply process gas to the equipment, vent process gas and purge the system. The valve controller includes a program member having a number of passageways, each connected to one of the valves and to a program surface via program ports. A movable valve selection member overlies the program surface and includes an inlet passage coupled to a compressed source so that when the inlet passage becomes aligned with one of the various sets of program ports, compressed air is provided to the corresponding valves to actuate them.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1983Date of Patent: November 26, 1985Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Todd E.
