Abstract
A control device for a thermal engine includes: a thermal energy generator for generating thermal energy through combustion of air and fuel supplied thereto and adapted for supplying the thermal energy to the thermal engine such that the thermal engine is driven to generate a mechanical power output; a flow control device coupled to the thermal energy generator and operable to control amounts of the air and the fuel supplied to the thermal energy generator; and a control unit for controlling the flow control device to adjust the amounts of the air and the fuel supplied to the thermal energy generator based on an operating parameter of the thermal engine. A control method for the thermal engine is also disclosed.

A control method for a thermal engine, comprising the steps of:
- a) detecting an operating parameter of the thermal engine;
- b) comparing the operating parameter detected in step a) with a predetermined range;
- and
- c) adjusting an amount of thermal energy supplied to the thermal engine based on result of comparison made in step b).
A control method for a thermal engine, comprising the steps of:
