METERED FUEL
The fuel from the fuel pump goes through a Fuel Metering Valve (FMV)
and a High Pressure Fuel Shut-Off Valve included in the HMU.
The fuel flows through the fuel flow transmitter, then through a fuel
nozzle filter, then to the nozzles.

OVERSPEED PROTECTION
The overspeed governor system limits the core engine speed (N2) to a
maximum of 106%, in the event of a malfunction that could drive the
engine into an overspeed condition.
The overspeed governor is hydro-mechanical (flyweights) and
independent of the ECU.
The Delta P valve is hydraulically forced to cause the by-passed valve
to stroke more open.
More fuel is by-passed, decreasing fuel flow to the FMV and, therefore,
less fuel is available for combustion.
TEST by ECU
At each engine start, the micro-switch informs the ECU that the governor
system is in operation. This micro-switch strokes open/close around 45%
of N2.
