Claims
- 1. In a compressor bleed system for a gas turbine power plant having a compressor where the bleed system alters the geometry of said power plant and affects the airflow in the power plant, means responsive to the pressure of the airflow of said compressor for producing a signal indicative of a rate change of said pressure, and compensating means responsive to said geometry change of said power plant to modify said pressure responsive means to compensate for the affect of said geometry changes affecting the pressure of said airflow so that said signal is indicative of acceleration of said power plant.
- 2. In a compressor bleed system for a gas turbine power plant having a compressor where the bleed system alters the geometry of said power plant and affects the airflow in said gas turbine power plant, means responsive to the pressure of said compressor for producing a signal indicative of a rate change of said pressure, and compensating means responsive to said geometry change of said power plant to modify said pressure responsive means to compensate for the effect said geometry changes affecting the pressure of said airflow so that said signal is indicative of acceleration and deceleration of said power plant.
- 3. In a bleed system for a gas turbine type of power plant, where the bleed system changes the geometry of said power plant, means for producing a signal indicative of acceleration and deceleration of said power plant including a fluid means for producing a pressure signal indicative of engine operation, means for modifying said pressure signal to produce a rate of change value of said pressure signal and means responsive to said change in geometry for further modifying said pressure signal so that said rate of change value is not adversely affected by the airflow being bled by said change of geometry.
- 4. In a bleed system as claimed in claim 3 including a rate of change measuring means, a fluid connection interconnecting said power plant and said rate of change measuring means including a restriction disposed therein intermediate the ends thereof, a control valve adjusting the area of an opening in said fluid connection and feedback means indicative of changes of said geometry operatively connected to said control valve for modifying the pressure drop across said restriction.
