ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic fluid supply system includes a single motor driven pump which supplies a dual pressure level output for providing both a high pressure oil output and a low pressure oil output. In combination with a turbomachine, the dual pressure level output of the oil pump obviates the requirement of pressure reducing valves in the low pressure supply lines and losses associated therewith. Moreover, since only a portion of the entire oil requirement is raised to the higher pressure level, the pump motor horsepower requirements are reduced to save energy and thereby improve overall system efficiency. A further improvement is a system of pressure differential valves whereby under certain conditions, high pressure oil flow is conserved even though the low pressure oil flow momentarily drops below a preset value.
