Title: Improvements in liquid fuel supply systems

IPC: F02C7/22
Filed: 1947-10-22
Abstract: 654,256. Gas turbine plant. DOWTY EQUIPMENT, Ltd. Oct. 22, 1947, No. 28278. [Class 110(iii)] [Also in Group XXIX] The pressure at which fuel is supplied to the control valve of a gas turbine plant for aircraft is varied with the altitude so that the setting of the valve for any speed is unaltered by altitude. Fuel supplied by a fixed displacement pump 11 passes by pipes 28, 29 and a control valve 14 to burners 13. Pressure in pipe 29 is reduced as altitude increases by an increasing opening of a valve 25 leading to a return pipe 32. This opening is controlled by a pressure bellows 33 which opens the valve 18 as the altitude increases. The valve 18 controls the flow of fuel through a metering orifice 22 in a piston 21, pipes 30, 31 and a central bore 24 in the piston 21 to the pipe 32. The flow through the orifice 22 increases with altitude and, due to the pressure drop in it, the equilibrium position of the piston 21 will rise and the valve 25 will permit more fuel to pass to the return pipe 32. The pipe 29 may be used to supply metered fuel to the circuit of a spill type burner system as described in Specification 654,244. An emergency governor comprising a diaphragm 39 subjected to the delivery pressure of the pump 11 opens, at overspeeds, a pipe 36. This connects the pipe 30 to the return independently of the valve 18 and causes the opening of the valve 25. Specification 595,152 also is referred to.

The mechanism is of the general kind described in Specification 602,134 in which a code plate with holes cooperating with the upper ends of the pins 4 moves downwardly to unlock. The cancellation plate 5 slides along fixed supports 7 and is moved endways and sideways by means of lugs 8 . . . 11, Figs. 2 and 3, thereon which make contact with stops and cam slots on a sliding plate 13 in co-operation with a fixed guide plate 12. A projection 14 on the plate 13 is engaged by stops 18, 19 on the annular bolt 16 on locking or unlocking respectively ; during locking the plate 5 is moved firstly towards the rear of the casing, causing a projection 23 to project through a slot in the casing, and drawing the pins 4, which lie in the position 21 at the apex of the triangular holes 6 in the plate, towards the rear, i.e. causing the pushrods to be fully retracted, and secondly, to the right, thus releasing the pins which now lie in the base of the triangle. During unlocking, which is effected by the withdrawal of a detent engaging the bolt 16, the stop 19 strikes the projection 14 on the plate 13, and the plate 5 is caused to move to the left.
