Zusammenfassung:A coolant system of a generator arranged to be driven by an aircraft engine. The coolant system includes a fluid circuit with a fluid therein, the fluid for cooling an electricity generator, and a pump, arranged to provide a flow of fluid around the fluid circuit to deliver coolant to at least one cooled component of the generator, via a cooler. The system also includes a fluid control device located between the pump and the cooler in the fluid circuit. The fluid control device is configured to selectively direct the fluid provided by the pump away from the cooler in dependence on a measured pressure in the fluid circuit. The measured pressure is derived from a measured point in the fluid circuit, the measured point being remote from the fluid control device.
