Abstract:
An inline valve includes a valve body, a valve member, and a control manifold. The valve body has an exterior, an inlet, and an outlet. The valve member is supported within the valve body and is movable between a first position and a second position. The inlet in fluid communication with the outlet while the valve member is in the first position and the inlet fluidly separated from the outlet while the valve member is in the second position. The control manifold is supported by the valve body, has a reference fluid port and a control fluid port, and is in pneumatic communication with the valve member through the valve body exterior to passive movement of the valve member according to pressure at the valve body inlet. Gas turbine engines and methods of controlling valves are described.
