SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF EXCESSIVE FLOW IN A FLUID SYSTEM

There is provided a system and method for detecting excess flow in an engine fluid system (200, 200'), the method comprising sensing a temperature of a fluid flowing in a fluid line (202) of the fluid system (200, 200'), the fluid line (202) located downstream of a fluid flow restrictor (204) configured to receive the fluid from a source (210) upstream thereof and to flow the fluid from the source (210) into the fluid line (202) downstream thereof, comparing the temperature to a temperature threshold, and when the temperature is beyond the temperature threshold, detecting excess flow of the fluid in the fluid line (202) and outputting an excess flow indication accordingly.
