    Abstract: An actuator includes a housing, a first chamber inside the housing, a cylinder within the housing, and a second chamber within the housing. The cylinder fluidically isolates the first chamber from the second chamber. The actuator also includes a rod connected to the cylinder and extending through the second chamber and the housing. A shell is spaced apart from the housing and defines a fluid gap between the shell and the housing. The shell includes a shell inlet fluidically connected to the fluid gap and a shell outlet fluidically connected to the fluid gap.

    Abstract: A fluid flow system includes a main valve having a spool, a first chamber, and a second chamber. A pressure difference between the first chamber and the second chamber is configured to move the spool to control fluid flow. An electromechanical meter interface device (EMID) is in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second chambers of the main valve. The EMID is configured to meter fluid from a first source and a second source to the at least one of the first chamber and the second chamber. The first source has a different pressure from the second source. A fixed orifice is arranged between the main valve and the EMID. A fuel system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of controlling an actuator includes switching a primary solenoid valve to a first mode to fluidically connect a supply pressure source to a control chamber of a pilot valve. A fluid from the supply pressure source is directed through the primary solenoid valve to fill the control chamber of the pilot valve and put the pilot valve in a first position. The first position fluidically connects a second chamber of the actuator to a return pressure source. The actuator includes a cylinder between the first chamber and the second chamber and a rod attached to the cylinder. The fluid from the supply pressure source is directed into the first chamber of the actuator to move the cylinder and the rod in a first direction while the pilot valve is in the first position.

    Abstract: A metering pump system includes a variable displacement pump having an inlet and an outlet, a flow sensing valve fluidically connected to the outlet of the variable displacement pump, and an actuator mechanically coupled to a displacement mechanism of the variable displacement pump. The metering pump system also includes an electronic engine controller in communication with the flow sensing valve. An electrohydraulic servo valve is electrically connected to the electronic engine controller and hydraulically connected to the actuator. The electrohydraulic servo valve is configured to hydraulically drive the actuator to move the displacement mechanism to change displacement of the variable displacement pump.

    Abstract: A fluid injection system can include a main flow line, a primary flow line connected to the main flow line, and a primary flow valve disposed between the primary flow line and the main flow line and configured to allow injectant flow to the primary flow line from the main flow line in an open primary flow valve state, and to prevent injectant flow to the primary flow line from the main flow line in a closed primary flow valve state. The system can include a secondary flow line connected to the main flow line and a secondary flow valve disposed between the secondary flow line and the main flow line and configured to selectively allow injectant flow to the secondary flow line from the main flow line in an open secondary flow valve state, and to prevent injectant flow to the secondary flow line from the main flow line in a closed secondary flow valve state. The system can include a primary purge branch configured and a secondary purge branch configured to be in fluid communication with a purge gas line to receive a purge gas flow from the purge gas line.
