TWO-DISPLACEMENT SETTING VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMP USED AS ENGINE OVER-THRUST PROTECTION WITH FUEL SYSTEM THERMAL BENEFIT

摘要

A fuel delivery system (10) comprises a variable displacement pump (20) for pressurizing fuel. The variable displacement pump has a distinct first pump displacement setting for a first desired mass flow of fuel and a distinct second pump displacement setting for a second desired mass flow of fuel. The variable displacement pump operates in only one of the first and second pump displacement settings. A fuel control (22) with a metering valve downstream of the variable displacement pump selectively regulates fuel delivery. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
