SURGE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A surge prevention system for a fan jet engine of an aircraft serves to manifest a signal whenever pressure distortions at the engine's inlet is calculated by judiciously located total pressure probes mounted downstream of the fan on the fan struts in the fan discharge duct. The engine's bleed valve is automatically opened to prevent surge and the fuel control's speed sensor is automatically reset to compensate for any loss of thrust. Safety switches are included to render the system inoperative whenever the aircraft is in the margin of stall and the reset feature is rendered inoperative for normal bleed open operating conditions.
