#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves determining time interval between output signals of a signal transmitter in a predetermined time period. The signals with the time interval smaller than a predetermined time interval or the signals with small average time interval are discarded. Fuel volume led through a feed conduit and a return line over total time ranges is determined by the remaining signals of the signal transmitter. Fuel consumption over a total time range is determined from a difference between the total time ranges taken by the fuel volume to be led through the feed conduit and the return line. #CMT# : #/CMT# The signal transmitter is designed as a signal transducer of a piston flow meter, a screw displacement volumeter, a gear displacement volumeter, an oval wheel volumeter, a Coriolis flow meter, a rotary vane displacement volumeter or an impeller displacement volumeter. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for determining fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine i.e. marine diesel engine (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method enables determination of the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine in a simple, accurate and inexpensive manner, without re-tooling the engine with specially manufactured volumetric flow meters. |
