Abstract
The invention relates to a method for supplying fuel to a combustion engine which has an air inlet provided with a gas valve and an output shaft and wherein a fuel line in which a fuel supply device is arranged debouches into the air inlet. The method comprises of providing a pump with an adjustable, substantially continuous flow rate for the fuel supply device, determining the position of the gas valve, determining the rotation speed of the shaft, ascertaining herewith the required fuel flow rate and adjusting the pump accordingly. The invention further relates to a combustion engine of which the fuel supply is controlled as according to the above specified method.
Claims18
Method for supplying fuel to a combustion engine which has an air inlet provided with a gas valve and an output shaft and wherein a fuel line in which a fuel supply device is arranged debauches into the air inlet, said method comprising:
- providing a pump with an adjustable, substantially continuous flow rate for the fuel supply device, determining a position of the gas valve, determining a rotation speed of the shaft, determining a required fuel flow rate directly from the position of the gas valve and the rotation speed of the shaft, and adjusting the pump to supply the required fuel flow rate.
A method for supplying fuel to a combustion engine having an output shaft, an air inlet, a gas valve arranged in said air inlet, a fuel supply device arranged in said air inlet, and a pump with an adjustable flow rate providing fuel to said fuel supply device, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining a position of said gas valve;
- determining a rotation speed of said output shaft;
- determining a required fuel flow rate directly from said position of said gas valve and said rotation speed of said shaft;
- and
- adjusting said pump to provide said required fuel flow rate.
A fuel supply system for a combustion engine having an output shaft, an air inlet, a gas valve arranged in said air inlet, a fuel supply device arranged in said air inlet, and a pump with an adjustable flow rate providing fuel to said fuel supply device, said system comprising:
- means for determining a position of said gas valve;
- means for determining a rotation speed of said output shaft;
- means for determining a required fuel flow rate directly from said position of said gas valve and said rotation speed of said shaft;
- and
- means for adjusting said pump to provide said required fuel flow rate.
