Abstract

The structure and principle of the aircraft engine starter valve with dual pneumatic actuators are introduced. Characteristics of the valve, in particular the opening behaviours are analysed using mathematical models. The butterfly valve opening process under different inlet pressure is simulated on AMESim simulation environment. By comparing with test data, the model is proved to be accurate and reliable. The simulation results show that inlet pressure plays an important role in the opening process. The variables of primary interest are the rotating angle and time of the butterfly valve. In the dual actuators architecture, the valve requires less inlet pressure to rotate the butterfly disc full open and has higher reliability during aircraft operational cycle.
