An apparatus and method for adjusting a quantity of fuel delivered to an engine when an engine operating state transitions is provided. The apparatus and method includes determining a current steady-state quantity of fuel to be delivered to the engine and add a transitory quantity of fuel, based on a difference between a previous steady-state quantity of fuel delivered and the current steady-state quantity of fuel to be delivered, to the current steady-state quantity of fuel for a period of time following initiation of the transition. The invention also provides an apparatus and method by which an operator may adjust the amount of fuel delivered during an engine operating state transition.
摘要:
A method and control apparatus for an internal combustion engine that allows an operator to calibrate engine performance relative to an engine operating characteristic. The control apparatus comprises a base engine control map that correlates values of the characteristic with values of a base engine control, a trim control map that correlates the values of the characteristic with values of a trim control, an engine control unit that obtains from the base engine control and trim control maps the respective base engine control and trim control values that are based on the characteristic value, and a panel that is operatively coupled with the engine control unit and includes a first switch regulating a trim signal supplied to the engine control unit. The trim control map is separated from the base control map. The engine control unit calculates an engine operating control value based on the obtained values. The calculated engine operating control value is supplied to the internal combustion engine to vary the engine performance. The first switch is adapted to be manipulated by the operator. And the trim signal causes the engine control unit to modify the trim control values in the trim control map.

An engine management system for an internal combustion engine. The engine management system comprises an engine control system calculating an engine operating control value, a palm-size computer transportable relative to the engine control system, and an external computer communicating with the palm-size computer. The engine operating control value is adapted to be supplied to the internal combustion engine to vary engine performance. The palm-size computer has height, width, and thickness dimensions that are no larger than approximately 6 inches by approximately 4 inches by approximately 1 inch. The palm-size computer runs a set of engine management tools that communicate engine management data to the engine control system. The external computer downloads to the palm-size computer engine management tools and engine management files, and uploads from the palm-size computer engine management files.
摘要:
A unique reciprocating piston device that uses one or more special cams and yokes to replace the functions normally provided by crankpins and connecting rods. The cams have noncircular finite jerk lift surfaces which provide continuous positive positioning of the yokes and pistons. Various cams can be configured to overcome the performance limitations imposed by crank and rod controlled pistons for a wide variety of engines and pumps. Preferred embodiments of this invention create a flexible, reliable, efficient and smooth running device for compressing, expanding and transferring fluids. In one specific application, an internal combustion engine is designed such that its pistons spend a greater portion of time near the top and bottom of each stroke than is possible with a crankshaft type engine.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, and method for attenuating pulsations in a pumping system. The apparatus includes two pipe loops in fluid communication with a pump. Each of the pipe loops includes two branches with the first branch being longer than the second branch by an amount equal to half of a primary wavelength within a range of wavelengths propagating in a fluid discharged from the pump.
