Device for controlling timing of fuel supply for starting a gas turbine engine

摘要

A device for controlling timing of fuel supply for starting a gas turbine engine which has a glow plug as an ignition source for fuel is herein disclosed. The device comprises a temperature sensor mounted on the engine for detecting the initial temperature of the glow plug upon application of electricity to the glow plug and generating a signal for starting the engine, which corresponds to the initial temperature of the glow plug, a means for determining time for preheating the glow plug from starting of application of electricity to the glow plug till starting of the engine by the signal and a means for determining timing for starting fuel supply to a combustion chamber of the engine after starting thereof by the signal.
