Turbine Engine Emergency Fuel Control

Turbine Engine Emergency Fuel Control refers to a system or mechanism in a turbine engine that is designed to provide emergency fuel flow and control in case of a failure or malfunction in the primary fuel control system.

In an aircraft turbine engine, the primary fuel control system is responsible for regulating the flow of fuel to the engine based on various parameters such as engine speed, temperature, and power requirements. However, in the event of a failure or loss of control in the primary fuel control system, the emergency fuel control system takes over to ensure that the engine continues to receive fuel and operate safely.

The emergency fuel control system typically consists of backup fuel control units, emergency fuel valves, and associated sensors and actuators. These components work together to monitor engine parameters and deliver the appropriate amount of fuel to maintain engine operation within safe limits.

During an emergency situation, the emergency fuel control system may operate in a simplified mode, bypassing certain engine control features to ensure continuous fuel flow. It may also have built-in safety features to prevent over-fueling or under-fueling of the engine.

The purpose of the turbine engine emergency fuel control is to provide a fail-safe mechanism that allows the engine to continue operating in emergency situations, such as when the primary fuel control system fails or malfunctions. This helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the turbine engine during critical phases of flight or in emergency scenarios.
