(26). Air inlet sequence valve (22) keeps the oil pressure
in air inlet shutoff actuator (26) at 105 kPa ( 15 psi) and
then directs the remainder of oil flow to drain through
pilot operated two-way valve (23) which is normally open.
Pilot operated two-way valve (23) is held open by spring
force and the pilot oil pressure is connected to drain
through speed sensing valve spool (5).
Oil flow in the fuel shutoff circuit is divided into
different directions as follows:
1.
Oil from fuel shutoff sequence valve (24) goes to
speed sensing valve spool (5) and is stopped at
low engine speeds. When engine speed is high
enough, speed sensing valve spool (5) moves to
direct the oil pressure and close selector valve
(3). This changes the oil flow in the alarm circuit
from the low speed range to the high speed
range and connects system oil pressure to drain
through high speed oil protection valve (9) and
pilot operated two-way valve (23).
2.
Oil flow from fuel shutoff sequence valve (24)
goes through orifice (14), low speed oil protec-
tion valve (8) or high speed oil protection valve
(9) and to drain through pilot operated two-way
valve (23). This circuit has an oil pressure
switch (13), that is normally open. Switch (13) is
connected to the alarm circuit oil pressure after
