TM 55-2840-241-23c. The power turbine governor lever schedules thegovernor requirements. The power turbine governor,in turn, schedules the gas producer speed to a changedpower output to maintain output shaft speed.d. Fuel flow for engine control depends on com-pressor discharge pressure (Pc), engine speed (gasproducer—N1 and/or power turbine—N2), and leverangle. Fuel flow is a function of Pc as sensed in thefuel control. Variations of fuel flow schedules are ob-tained by modulating the Pc to Px and Py pressures inthe control through the action of a bleed-down circuitactuated by the governors. (See figure 1-4.)1-12. Gas Producer Fuel Control.a. The gas producer fuel control has a bypassvalve, metering valve, acceleration bellows, governingand enrichment bellows, manually operated cutoffvalve, maximum pressure relief valve, torque tubeseal and lever assembly, and a start derichment valve.The maximum pressure relief valve protects thesystem from excessive fuel pressure.b. Fuel enters the control from the engine fuelpump and filter assembly and is delivered to themetering valve. The bypass valve maintains a cons-tant pressure differential across the metering valve.Also, excess fuel is bypassed to the fuel pump andfilter assembly through an external line connectingthe pump bypass inlet to the bypass outlet port of thegas producer fuel control.c. The metering valve is operated by lever actionthrough movement of the governor and accelerationbellows, Metering valve area depends on valve travel,Before light -off and acceleration, the metering valve isset at a pre-determined open position by the accelera-tionbellows under the influence of ambient pressure(Pc at zero rpm).d. The start derichment valve is open duringlight-off and acceleration to a set Pc. The open derich-ment valve vents Py pressure to atmosphere. VentingPy allows the governor bellows to move the meteringvalve against the minimum flow stop. At minimumflow the metering valve provides the required lean fuelschedule after light-off. As compressor rpm increases,the derichment valve is closed by Pc acting on thederichment bellows. When the derichment valve isclosed, control of the metering valve is returned to thenormal operating schedule.e. During acceleration, the Px and Py pressuresare equal to the modified compressor dischargepressure (Pc) up to the point where the speed enrich-ment orifice is opened by flyweight action. Openingthe speed enrichment orifice bleeds Px pressure whilPy remains at a value equal to Pc. Under the influenceof the Py minus Px pressure drop across the governorbellows, the metering valve moves toward the maximum flow stop where it increases fuel flow.f. Gas producer speed is controlled by the gasproducer fuel control governor. A set of flyweightsoperate the governor lever which controls the governorbellows (Py) bleed at the governing orifice. Flyweightoperation of the governor lever is opposed by avariable spring load. The spring force is establishedby the throttle lever acting on a spring schedulingcam. Opening the governing orifice bleeds Py pressureand allows Px pressure to control the governorbellows. The Px influence on the bellows moves themetering valve toward minimum flow and at a posi-tion where metered flow is at steady state re-quirements.g. The governor reset assembly in the gasproducer fuel control limits or governs power turbinespeed. Control of the reset assembly is derived fromthe power turbine governor. The power turbine gover-nor also provides quick responding overspeed protec-t ion by bleeding governor servo (Py) pressure from thegas producer fuel control.1-13. Power Turbine Governor.a. Power turbine speed is scheduled by the powerturbine governor lever and the power turbine speedscheduling cam. The cam sets a governor spring loadwhich opposes a flyweight output. As the desiredspeed is approached, the flyweights operating againstthe governor spring move a link to open the power tur-bine governor orifice. The flyweights also open theoverspeed bleed (Py) orifice but at a higher speedthan the regular governor (Pg) orifice.b. The governor orifice is downstream of a bleedsupplied by a regulated air pressure (Pr). Opening theorifice results in a reduced pressure downstream of thebleed (Pg) as an inverse function of increasing speed.Regulated pressure (Pr) and governing pressure (Pg)are applied to opposite sides of a diaphragm in thegovernor reset section of the gas producer fuel control,The force generated by Pr minus Pg across thediaphragm acts on the gas producer power output linkthrough the governor reset rod. This forcesupplements the weight force in the gas producer fuelgovernor to reset (reduce) the gas producer speed. Gasproducer speed cannot exceed the gas producer fuelgovernor setting. The Pr minus Pg diaphragm ispreloaded for establishing the active Pr minus Pgrange. Pr pressure is supplied from engine Pc pressureby an air regulator valve.1-6
