Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system includes a combustor, an engine oil system, and a fuel system assembly. The engine oil system includes a fuel-oil heat exchanger. The fuel system assembly includes a jet fuel system, a hydrogen fuel system, and a switching valve. The jet fuel system and the hydrogen fuel system are connected in fluid communication with the combustor. The jet fuel system is selectively connected in fluid communication with the fuel-oil heat exchanger by the switching valve. The hydrogen fuel system is selectively connected in fluid communication with the fuel-oil heat exchanger by the switching valve. The switching valve is configurable between a first circuit flow path and a second circuit flow path. The switching valve configured in the first circuit flow path directs the jet fuel through the fuel-oil heat exchanger. The switching valve configured in the second circuit flow path directs the gaseous hydrogen fuel through the fuel-oil heat exchanger.
