Abstract
An aircraft engine, has: a fluid system including a component adapted for containing a volume of the fluid, the fluid circuit further including a bypass conduit bypassing the component, and a valve fluidly connected to the fluid circuit upstream of the component relative to a flow of the fluid towards the component, the valve having an open configuration fluidly connecting the source of the fluid to the bypass conduit through the valve and a closed configuration in which the valve connects the source of the fluid to the component, the valve movable from the open configuration to the closed configuration in response to the fluid being at a first temperature, and the valve movable from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to the fluid exerting an opening force on the valve and the fluid being at a second temperature different than the first temperature.
