METHOD OF OPERATING AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE FUEL TYPES

The fuel system can have a jet fuel subsystem (50) having a jet fuel conduit (52) extending from a first reservoir area (54) to a fuel nozzle (45) across an auxiliary system (56) operable using a flow of the jet fuel (102), at least one fuel delivery system (160) operable to circulate a controlled f...

Zusammenfassung:The fuel system can have a jet fuel subsystem (50) having a jet fuel conduit (52) extending from a first reservoir area (54) to a fuel nozzle (45) across an auxiliary system (56) operable using a flow of the jet fuel (102), at least one fuel delivery system (160) operable to circulate a controlled flow rate of the jet fuel (102) within said conduit (52) and across the auxiliary system (56), a recirculation conduit (64) branching off from the jet fuel conduit (52) downstream of the auxiliary system (56), an actuator valve (72) operable to selectively direct a flow of jet fuel (102) to the at least one fuel nozzle (45) or to the recirculation conduit (64); and an alternative fuel subsystem (58) having an alternative fuel conduit (60) extending from a second reservoir area (62) to a fuel nozzle (45).
