6. The combination set forth in claim 1 wherein said throttle signal valve comprises a two-position can operated spool valve.
7. The combination set forth in claim 1 wherein said thermal responsive means consists of a closed end tube containing a ceramic rod, said rod being operable due to differential expansion between the rod and tube to produce a relative displacement and means operable by said ceramic rod for actuating the modulating valve.
8. The combination comprising a compressor, a gas turbine having a combustor, a rotor and a stator, and a torque converter, said torque converter having a casing filled with a compressible fluid, a stator, an input rotor, and an output rotor which is driven by fluid action upon rotation of said input rotor, said input rotor of said torque converter being connected to and driven by said rotor of said turbine, a first fluid line between the outlet of said compressor and the interior of said casing of said torque converter, a second fluid line between the inlet to said gas turbine and said casing, a hydraulically operated valve in said first fluid line, said valve being temperature modulated in response to the temperature of the fluid in said torque converter, means operable to evacuate the casing of the aerodynamic torque converter, a hydraulically operated on-off valve associated with said last mentioned means for controlling the evacuation of the torque converter, a throttle signal valve operable when the throttle is open to provide a first hydraulic signal, a speed signal valve operable upon rotation of the output of said torque converter beyond a predetermined speed to produce a second hydraulic signal, a diverter valve operable by either of said first and second signals to apply hydraulic pressure to said on-off valves to close said valve.
9. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said temperature responsive hydraulic valve comprises a rotary vane actuator.
10. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said on-off valve comprises a differential area linear piston actuator.
11. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said diverter valve comprIses a free floating ball valve to which the speed signals are fed at one end and a throttle signal is fed at the other.
12. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said speed signal valve comprises an eccentrically mounted spool valve driven by the output of the aerodynamic torque converter.
13. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said throttle signal valve comprises a two-position can operated spool valve.
14. The combination set forth in claim 8 wherein said thermal responsive means consists of a closed end tube containing a ceramic rod, said rod being operable due to differential expansion between the rod and tube to produce a relative displacement and means operable by said ceramic rod for actuating the modulating valve.
