Abstract
A method for determining a gas consumption of a gas-powered gas engine or a gas-powered dual-fuel engine. The engine is operated under actual operating conditions, and the actual gas consumption of the engine is acquired under the actual operating conditions. A target gas consumption of the engine to be anticipated under target operating conditions is calculated depending on the actual gas consumption and depending on discrepancies between the actual operating conditions and the target operating conditions.
Claims16
A method for determining a gas consumption of a gas-powered engine, comprising:
- operating the gas-powered engine under actual operating conditions;
- acquiring an actual gas consumption of the gas-powered engine under the actual operating conditions;
- and
- calculating a target gas consumption anticipated under target operating conditions depending on the actual gas consumption and discrepancies between the actual operating conditions and the target operating conditions.
A control device of a gas-powered engine, having a processor and memory, the control device configured to:
- operate the gas-powered engine under actual operating conditions;
- acquire an actual gas consumption of the gas-powered engine under the actual operating conditions;
- and
- calculate a target gas consumption anticipated under target operating conditions depending on the actual gas consumption and discrepancies between the actual operating conditions and the target operating conditions.
