Method and system for fuel control in a gas turbine engine

摘要

A fuel control system (100) for supplying metered fuel flow to a gas turbine engine is disclosed that includes a variable delivery fuel pump (116) for outputting a fuel flow that includes a burn fuel flow for the gas turbine engine and a surplus fuel flow recirculated back to an inlet (124) of the variable delivery fuel pump (116) and a pump control (148, 158, 122) for controlling the output of the variable delivery fuel pump to maintain the surplus fuel flow at a substantially constant rate. A method of controlling a fuel system (100) is also disclosed.
