The invention relates to a pneumatic unit for activating a plurality of discharge valves of a turbomachine, the pneumatic unit having activation outlets corresponding to the number of discharge valves forming said plurality of discharge valves, and a single control input receiving a single control signal from an electronic control unit, the control signal serving to act on a control winding of a manifold means having outlets that form said activation outlets.

System for controlling a plurality of turbomachine discharge valves

In a turbomachine, there is provided a fuel metering unit having a cylindrical outer sleeve containing a distributor cylinder in which a metering piston can be moved linearly under the action of a control element. The cylindrical sleeve has an inlet orifice for admitting fuel under pressure and at least one outlet orifice for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the turbomachine, and the metering piston has an annular gap forming a distribution chamber for the fuel admitted via the inlet orifice and delivered via at least one outlet orifice. According to the invention, the distributor cylinder has a plurality of radial feed orifices for admitting fuel into the distribution chamber and at least a first metering orifice and at least a second metering orifice that are separated by a seal disposed at the periphery of the distributor cylinder.

Fuel metering unit with two integrated outlet ports

A fuel injection system in a turbomachine, the system comprising a high pressure pump for pressurizing the fuel coming from a fuel tank to a high pressure P , a plurality of fuel injectors disposed in a combustion chamber of the turbomachine, and a metering unit interposed between said high pressure pump and said plurality of injectors to control the rate at which fuel flows into the injectors from the high pressure pump, wherein said metering unit comprises a pressurization valve piloted to occupy two pressure levels by means of a metering valve fed with fuel from said high pressure pump. A solenoid stop valve for acting on the pressurization valve is also provided to interrupt the feed of fuel to the injectors.

Two-level pressurization valve controlled by a fuel metering unit

In a turbomachine whose speed of rotation is controlled by means of a throttle control lever acting via an electronic control circuit, a system is provided to provide protection against excess speed, the system comprising means for limiting the fuel feed of the turbomachine to a predetermined fixed flow rate Wps when the speed of rotation exceeds an authorized maximum speed, means for maintaining said fuel feed at said predetermined fixed flow rate while the speed of rotation drops below the authorized maximum speed, and means for reducing said fuel speed to a flow rate Wr corresponding to an idling speed when the throttle control lever issues an idling control to the turbomachine via the electronic control circuit.
