Title: Improvements relating to fuel control systems for internal combustion prime movers
IPC: F02D1/02
Filed: 1945-04-16
Abstract: 605,458. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. LUCAS, Ltd., J., and IFIELD, R. J. April 16, 1945, No. 9486. [Class 135] [Also in Groups XXVI and XXVII] The supply of fuel to an internal-combustion prime mover from a variable delivery fuel pump is controlled at low speeds by a manually-operated metering valve t and from moderate to maximum speeds by a diaphragm r responsive to speed and loaded by a spring 3 adjusted by the means actuating the valve t. Fuel delivered to the pump b through a conduit s is discharged past a metering valve t controlled by a rack and pinion v, x, manually-operated by a rod which also rotates a lever 4 to vary the spring loading on the diaphragm r which controls through a lever p a fluid actuated piston h which adjusts a swash-plate e to vary the pump output. The right-hand side of diaphragm r is subject through passage 24 to the pressure of fuel at the rotor b, which varies with speed, the fuel pressure in the inlet s acting on the other side. One side of the piston h is subject to the pressure of fuel before discharge through a passage k and is connected to the other side through a passage m containing a restricted orifice n and leading to a valve seating controlled by the lever p. At idling and slow speeds the difference of pressure across diaphragm r is insufficient to overcome the spring 3 and the fuel supply is governed solely by the metering- valve t, but at higher speeds the lever p is operated, and the piston h adjusts the pump output. Spring 3 exerts an increasing force on the diaphragm r as lever 4 is rotated. In a modification, Fig. 3, the pump is controlled above moderate speed by the diaphragm r, but at low speeds is controlled by a diaphragm 13 subject to the pressure drop across the valve t and actuating a lever 16 controlling a valve 21 in a passage 22 leading to one side of the piston h; the fuel being discharged from the pump through passage 11 and passing through the metering orifice u to the outlet k.
