A self-pumping fuel injector includes a pump and a motor for, in-part, delivering fuel to a combustor at higher fuel pressures during start-up and ramping-up conditions. Each pump may include a stationary flow interuptor that intermittently and variably supplies fuel to a rotating spindle that, in-turn, expels the fuel into a nozzle of the injector for improve fuel spray distributions.

A heating device operating with liquid fuel in the single-line mode includes a fuel pump which draws fuel from a supply tank and delivers it into a pressure line region communicating with an atomiser nozzle opening into a combustion chamber, wherein excess fuel is returned from the pressure region to the suction side of the fuel pump by way of a pressure regulator, a return line and a bypass line. Arranged between the return line and the bypass line is a venting apparatus including an actuating element which is reciprocable between an operating position and a venting position and which in the operating position connects the return line to the bypass line to reliably seal the medium in the lines towards the exterior and in the venting position connects the return line to the exterior of the heating device and in that case closes the bypass line.

A fuel system is provided for an aircraft having a fuel source. The fuel system includes a fuel oxygen reduction unit defining a liquid fuel supply path, a stripping gas supply path, a liquid fuel outlet path, and a stripping gas return path, wherein the stripping gas return path is in airflow communication with the fuel source.

The invention concerns a fuel system (1) for a turbomachine comprising: a control circuit (9a), a main circuit (9b), a flow rate regulator (2), suitable for regulating the flow of fuel in the control circuit (9a) and in the main circuit (9b) depending on the speed of the turbomachine, and a drain tank (4) being designed to draw fuel from, store fuel in and drain fuel into the main circuit (9b) on the basis of the pressure difference between the main circuit (9b) and the tank (5) or the high-pressure pump (6) to which it is connected.

A pump, especially for delivering liquid fuel for a vehicle heater, includes a pump body (12) providing a pump chamber (14). The pump body (12) is made with magnetic shape memory material at least in some areas. The pump further includes a field-generating arrangement (44) for generating a magnetic field (M). The magnetic shape memory material of the pump body (12) can be brought from an initial state into a deformed state by generating a magnetic field (M) by the field-generating arrangement (44). A pump chamber volume in the deformed state differs from the pump chamber volume present in the initial state.
