Fuel Schedule for Robust Gas Turbine Engine Transition Between Steady States

摘要

A fuel injection system for a gas turbine engine can be used to ensure successful transition in all conditions, while avoiding the possibility of steady state, or increasing power mode, operations with an insufficiently filled secondary fuel line. This may be accomplished by altering a pressure in a secondary fuel line. The present disclosure allows for the elimination of individual fuel injector valves, which may reduce the total complexity and number of parts of the fuel injection system.
