SYSTEMS FOR BLEED VALVE CONTROL IN FUEL SYSTEMS

A fuel system (100) includes a fuel metering unit (101) having a fuel inlet (108) and a fuel outlet (110) defining a flow path therebetween. The fuel system includes a bleed valve (106) in fluid communication with the flow path of the fuel metering unit (101). The fuel system includes a controller (104) in communication with the fuel metering unit (101) and the bleed valve (106) to send data thereto and/or receive data therefrom. The bleed valve (106) is configured and adapted to open or close depending on a command from the controller (104). The flow path is configured and adapted to be in selective fluid communication with a fuel system interstage (102) through the bleed valve (106).
