Module 15. Gas turbine engine

Why is the hydromechanical governor fitted to a gas turbine engine fuel pump?

  • To enable the engine to operate over a wide range of fuel SGs.
  • To enable efficient control of fuel flow to be maintained at altitude.
  • To enable the engine to operate over a wide range of fuel flow.

Specific gravity
changes at altitudes so the hydromechanical governor compensates for the variation in fuel SGs
