PROPORTIONAL RESTRICTION OF A SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A FUEL INJECTOR

A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet (115), in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet (115). Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrica...

Zusammenfassung:A fuel injector for a turbine engine includes a fuel scheduling valve configured for regulation of fuel flow from a fuel inlet (115), in response to fuel pressure received at the fuel inlet (115). Primary, secondary and auxiliary fuel circuits receive fuel from the scheduling valve, and an electrically-controlled valve is provided in fluid communication with the auxiliary circuit, which electrically-controlled valve is adapted and configured to actively control fuel through the auxiliary circuit in response to a control signal. The auxiliary fuel circuit joins with the secondary fuel circuit for delivery to a fuel nozzle.
