Abstract
A fuel pump system for a turbomachine engine can include a boost pump driven by an electric motor and configured to be in fluid communication with a fuel tank, a primary pump configured to be driven by a shaft connected to the turbomachine engine, wherein the primary pump is in fluid communication with the boost pump downstream of the boost pump by a boost branch, a bypass flow branch that connects the boost branch to a downstream branch that is downstream of the primary pump, the downstream branch is in fluid communication with one or more metering valves and/or one or more fuel nozzles, and a bypass valve disposed in the bypass flow branch and/or the downstream branch and configured to selectively directly fluidly communicate the boost branch and the downstream branch.
