Description Note:
The FMU is the interface between the EEC and the fuel There are no mechanical inputs to, or outputs from, the
system.
All the fuel delivered by the HP fuel pumps, which is more
than the engine requires is passed to the FMU.
The FMU, under the control of the EEC, meters the fuel
supply to the fuel spray nozzles.
The HP fuel pressure also provides a servo operation
(muscle) for the following actuators;
• Booster stage bleed valve (BSBV) actuators.
• Variable stator vane (VSV) actuator.
• Active clearance control (ACC) actuator.
• Air cooled oil cooler (ACOC) actuator.

100%.
The EEC will act through the Fuel Metering Valve to trim the
fuel flow if N1 or N2 reach 100%.
Operation
The overspeed valve is spring loaded to the closed position, it
is opened by increasing fuel pressure during engine start and
during normal engine operation is always fully open.
In the event of an overspeed condition (>109% N1 or
>105.7% N2 ) the EEC sends a signal to the overspeed valve
torque motor which changes position and directs HP fuel to
the top of the overspeed valve thus fully closing the valve.
A small by-pass flow is arranged around the overspeed valve
to prevent engine flame out.
The overspeed valve is hydraulically latched in the closed
position, thus preventing the engine from being accelerated.
The recommended procedure is for the flight crew to close the
engine down, and not re-start.
Closing down the engine is the only way to release the
hydraulic latching.
