1,147,168. Fluid-pressure servomotor systems. WESTLAND AIRCRAFT Ltd. Aug.22, 1967 [Sept.21, 1966], No.42232/66. Heading G3P. A fluid operated pressurization control system includes means 10, 11, 13 for supplying fluid under pressure to a compartment 14 and valve means 73 controlling the outlet of fluid from the compartment, whereby the pressure within the compartment is maintained at an absolute value above the ambient pressure, the valve means 73 being controlled by a pure fluid amplification system including pure fluid amplifiers 23, 24, 25, 26 of the type wherein a fluid power jet issuing from a power nozzle is directed into one or more outlet channels by interaction with a fluid issuing from control nozzles, at least one of the amplifiers 25 receiving a signal containing components in relation to absolute pressure, rate of change of pressure within the compartment, and differential pressure between the compartment and ambient. In the preferred embodiment, the compartment 14 is an aircraft cabin supplied through a conditioning system 13 with air under pressure from an engine 11 which also supplies a manifold 21 of the system through a filter 19 and a reducing valve 20. A first pair of nozzles 35, 37 in sensing amplifier 23 supplied through restrictors 41, 42 are connected to a valve 43 controlled by an adjustable capsule 44 so that when the cabin pressure falls the capsule tends to close the valve and increase the pressure at the control jet 37, diverting the power stream towards outlet 39. The increased pressure at outlet 39 causes a control jet 53 in amplifier 25 to increase pressure at outlet 60 and to decrease it at outlet 64 of amplifier 26. Pressure in a capsule 66 controlling a valve 68 is thus reduced to cause a diaphragm 71 to close the valve 73 while air flows into the compartment from the outlet 65 of amplifier 26 to raise the cabin pressure. If the rise is too rapid, a difference in pressure occurs across a diaphragm 49 which has one side connected to the cabin through an adjustable valve 52. The diaphragm opens a valve 48 to reduce the pressure in one control nozzle 38 of a second pair which over-rides the action of the first pair and returns the power stream to the outlet 40. The control exercised by the second pair of control nozzles is in turn over-ridden if the cabin pressure exceeds ambient by a sufficient amount to cause a diaphragm 55 to open a valve 54 in the line between the outlet 39 and the control nozzle 53. Part of the signal from the outlet 64 is fed back to a pair of control nozzles 74, 75 in a stabilizing amplifier 24, the nozzle 74 being fed through a capacitor 77 so that rising pressure causes the pressure at nozzle 75 to exceed that at 74 and divert the power jet more strongly into outlet 79 while falling pressure causes diversion of the jet to outlet 80. These outlets are connected to nozzles 81, 82 in amplifier 25 to reduce the effect of phase differences between the valves 43, 48 and 54 and the valve 16. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,085, 925. |
