Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a gas engine, preferably a lean gas engine, which has at least one cylinder. In order to improve the combustion process, a prechamber is provided for igniting a mixture in a main chamber. A pressure curve is detected by a pressure sensor in the main chamber dependent on a crank angle, and the quantity of supplied fuel is controlled or regulated for each individual cylinder using a fuel metering device and the pressure sensor dependent on a desired output and/or a desired torque and/or a desired rotational speed of the internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
A control unit which controls the operation of an engine which powers a hydraulic pump and a powertrain of a vehicle; the control unit configured to selectively vary the power supplied to the hydraulic pump and powertrain by the engine, the control unit further configured to: receive a first operating parameter relating to the output of the engine; and compare the first operating parameter to a first predetermined range indicative of desired engine performance, and if the first operating parameter is outside of the first predetermined range selectively varying the power supplied to the hydraulic pump until the first operating parameter of the engine is within a second predetermined range indicative of engine recovery.
Abstract:
A ship powered by an internal combustion engine (1) and an electric motor (2) connected to a propeller (3) powered by surplus electric power obtained by a thermal discharge recovery system has a controller including a feedback control section for controlling a base amount of fuel injected to the internal combustion engine (1) based on the difference between the target number of rotation of the propeller given by the operator and the real number of rotation, and a feed-forward control section having a means (25) for calculating an overall power output and a means (26) for calculating a correction in the amount of fuel injected to the internal combustion engine based on the overall power output and the number of rotation of the propeller. The base amount of fuel is corrected by subtracting the correction obtained by the feed-forward section from the base amount of fuel calculated by the feedback control section whereby preventing a rapid change in the speed of the ship due to rapid change in ship loads.
Abstract:
A generator set for a transport refrigeration unit that is operable at a first frequency and a second frequency. The generator set includes a generator and a prime mover. The generator set is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) that is coupled to a controller. The ECU is configured to monitor the engine operation condition to obtain an engine operation condition value; whereas the controller is configured to receive the engine operation condition value and compare the value with an engine operation condition threshold. When the engine operation condition value, for example, exceeds the engine operation condition threshold, the controller instructs the ECU to operate the engine at a first speed; and when the engine operation condition value, for example, is below the engine operation condition threshold, the controller instructs the ECU to operate the engine at a second speed that is slower than the first speed.
Abstract:
A control device (34) for driving/controlling an engine (10) on the basis of a signal from a temperature state detector (30), a rotation detector (31), and a rotational speed setting device (32) are provided. The control device (34) includes a start temperature determining processing unit configured to determine whether or not a temperature (T) at start of the engine (10) has lowered to a predetermined temperature (Tw1) and a start control processing unit configured to perform start control of the engine (10) in accordance with a set value of a target rotational speed (Nset) by the rotational speed setting device (32) in case the start temperature determining processing unit determines that the temperature (T) is equal to or less than the predetermined temperature (Tw1). This start control processing unit suppresses occurrence of cavitation by stopping the start of the engine (10) within a range in which the temperature (T) is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature (Tw1) and the target rotational speed (Nset) of the engine (10) is higher than a predetermined threshold value (Nca).
