Abstract
A method for determining the load status of a filter mounted in a fuel supply system, comprising a fuel supply pump and a control unit for controlling the fuel supply pump, the time curve of the rotational speed of the fuel supply pump being detected over a predetermined period of time, and at least one value of the time curve of the rotational speed and its associated detection time being compared with a comparative value stored in a control unit
Claims11
A method for determining the loading state of a filter situated in a fuel supply system, comprising the steps of:
- providing a fuel supply pump;
- providing a control unit for controlling the fuel supply pump;
- providing a temporal progression of the rotational speed of the fuel supply pump, the temporal progression having at least one value;
- and
- providing at least one comparative value stored in the control unit;
- detecting the temporal progression of the rotational speed of the fuel supply pump over a predefined period of time;
- comparing the at least one value of the temporal progression of the rotational speed and its associated detection time with the at least one comparative value stored in the control unit.
