AI Technical Summary
Existing mechanical pumps used for fuel conditioning in turbomachines are inefficient over a wide range of flow rates and pressures, leading to increased stress and reduced efficiency, and cannot optimally adapt to varying fuel requirements in aircraft turbomachines.
A fuel conditioning system with a pump operating at a constant speed, a buffer tank, and control valves to dynamically regulate fuel distribution, using an auxiliary power generation device for heating, ensuring efficient fuel supply and storage during varying aircraft phases.
The system provides efficient fuel conditioning with reduced pump stress and cost, allowing optimal fuel flow adaptation to aircraft phases, particularly during takeoff, using a simple and reliable design.
