AIRCRAFT ENGINE FLUID SYSTEM WITH BYPASS VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18130643 titled 'AIRCRAFT ENGINE FLUID SYSTEM WITH BYPASS VALVE
The abstract describes an aircraft engine with a fluid system that includes a component for containing fluid, a bypass conduit, and a valve that can switch between open and closed configurations based on fluid temperature and pressure.
- The aircraft engine has a fluid system with a component for holding fluid.
- There is a bypass conduit that goes around the component.
- A valve is connected to the fluid circuit before the component, which can be open or closed.
- The valve opens when the fluid is at a certain temperature and closes when the fluid exerts pressure at a different temperature.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in aircraft engines to regulate fluid flow and temperature. - It can also be used in other fluid systems where temperature and pressure control is crucial.
Problems Solved: - Helps maintain optimal fluid temperature and pressure in aircraft engines. - Prevents damage to components due to fluctuations in fluid conditions.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency and performance of aircraft engines. - Enhanced safety and reliability in fluid systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Fluid Control System for Aircraft Engines" This technology can be utilized in the aviation industry for aircraft engines to enhance performance and safety. It can also be adapted for use in other industries where precise fluid control is essential.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the valve in the fluid system respond to changes in fluid temperature? - The valve opens or closes based on the temperature of the fluid to regulate flow. 2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in aircraft engines? - The technology can improve efficiency, performance, and safety in aircraft operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
An aircraft engine, has: a fluid system including a component adapted for containing a volume of the fluid, the fluid circuit further including a bypass conduit bypassing the component, and a valve fluidly connected to the fluid circuit upstream of the component relative to a flow of the fluid towards the component, the valve having an open configuration fluidly connecting the source of the fluid to the bypass conduit through the valve and a closed configuration in which the valve connects the source of the fluid to the component, the valve movable from the open configuration to the closed configuration in response to the fluid being at a first temperature, and the valve movable from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to the fluid exerting an opening force on the valve and the fluid being at a second temperature different than the first temperature.
