摘要 |
A fuel control system for a gas turbine engine comprises a main fuel controller which varies the fuel flow to the engine in accordance with the engine pressure ratio and an idling fuel control arrangement. Control of idling fuel flow on a pressure ratio basis is somewhat wasteful of fuel. Therefore in the present invention the idling fuel control arrangement is arranged to control to a constant value of engine HP rotor speed. In the embodiment a variable bleed orifice is allowed to reduce the control pressure which operates the main fuel valve.
