ISOLATION OF A TURBINE ENGINE HEAT EXCHANGER IN THE EVENT OF A LEAK FROM AN ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE
An assembly for a fluid circuit of a turbine engineincludes a main branch, a fluid control valve, and a bypass branch which is arranged in parallel to the main branch. The fluid control valve includes a main outlet which is fluidly connected to the main branch and a bypass outlet which is fluidly connected to the bypass branch. The fluid control valve including a shutter, a spring for biasing the shutter, and control members for electrically controlling the shutter to a main open position or a bypass position. The spring for biasing the shutter is configured to bias the displacement of the shutter to the bypass position when a fluid pressure value is lower than a first threshold value.

SYSTEMS OF PREVENTING ENGINE BEARING DAMAGE
A system for protecting an engine from damage due to vibration while the engine is not operating is provided. The system includes an engine having a crankshaft, at least one piston, at least one bearing, a lubricating fluid source, and a fluid pump associated therewith and a controller operationally connected to and configured to control the fluid pump. When the system is in a first mode, the controller is configured to control the fluid pump in a duty cycle to maintain a predetermined minimum fluid pressure of the lubricating fluid such that a lubricating fluid film is present between the at least one bearing and the crankshaft while the engine is not operating.
