Method and systems for bleed air supply
A method and system for an integrated ejector valve assembly is provided. The integrated ejector valve assembly includes a first valve assembly configured to control a flow of relatively lower pressure fluid from a first inlet port, a second valve assembly configured to control a flow of relatively higher pressure fluid from a second inlet port, a first actuation chamber configured to close the first valve assembly, a second actuation chamber configured to close the second valve assembly, and a third actuation chamber configured to open the second valve assembly.
1. An integrated ejector valve assembly comprising:
a first valve assembly configured to control a flow of relatively lower pressure fluid from a first inlet port;
a second valve assembly configured to control a flow of relatively higher pressure fluid from a second inlet port, said second valve assembly being coaxially aligned with said first valve assembly;
a first actuation chamber configured to close said first valve assembly;
a second actuation chamber configured to close said second valve assembly;
a third actuation chamber configured to open said second valve assembly; and
an ejector configured to use the flow of relatively higher pressure fluid to facilitate increasing the flow of relatively lower pressure fluid.
2. An assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said first valve assembly comprises a poppet valve.
3. An assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said second valve assembly comprises a pintle valve.
4. An assembly in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a first manifold comprising a plurality of passages configured to control a pressure in said first actuation chamber.
5. An assembly in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a second manifold comprising a plurality of passages configured to control a differential pressure between said second actuation chamber and said third actuation chamber.
6. An assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said first valve assembly is configured to maintain a pressure at an outlet of said integrated ejector valve assembly greater than a first predetermined range of pressure, said second valve assembly is configured to maintain a pressure at the outlet of said integrated ejector valve assembly greater than a second predetermined range of pressure, wherein the first range of pressure is greater than the second range of pressure, and wherein the first and second ranges do not overlap.
