Abstract:
A liquid fuel delivery system for a turbine, comprising:a plurality of combustors;a positive displacement pump for pumping liquid fuel to the combustors;a pressure compensated fuel delivery valve for receiving fuel from said pump and dividing the fuel for flow to each of said combustors at an equal predetermined flow rate;a pressure transducer for determining the pressure of the liquid fuel downstream of said pump and upstream of said fuel delivery valve;a pressure control valve disposed between said pump and said fuel delivery valve;a flow meter for determining total rate of liquid fuel flow downstream of said pump; anda controller coupled to said pressure transducer and said pressure control valve for controlling the pressure control valve to deliver fuel to said fuel delivery valve at a predetermined pressure and coupled to said flow meter and said delivery valve for controlling the total liquid fuel flow rate through said fuel delivery valve to said combustors.
