ENGINE SPEED STABILIZATION USING FUEL RATE CONTROL

摘要

Idle speed stability is imparted to a compression ignition engine by processing data values for actual engine speed and desired engine speed to yield a data value for engine speed error; processing ( 22 ) the data value for engine speed error according to a governor algorithm for yielding a data value for a mass fuel rate for governed fueling of the engine; c) processing ( 24 ) the data value for mass fuel rate for governed fueling of the engine and the data value for actual engine speed to yield a data value for a quantity of fuel to be injected into an engine cylinder during an ensuing stroke of a piston within the cylinder; and d) injecting ( 30 ) that quantity of fuel into the cylinder during that stroke.
