An engine speed control device performing: a first PID gain calculation step of calculating a target engine speed to thereby calculate a first PID gain based on an engine speed deviation between the target engine speed and an engine speed; a target rack position calculation step of correcting the first PID gain based on a cooling water temperature to thereby calculate a target rack position of a fuel injection pump; a second PID gain calculation step of calculating a second PID gain based on a rack position deviation between the target rack position and a rack position; and a rack control signal producing step of correcting the second PID gain based on a lubricating oil temperature to thereby produce a rack control signal. The engine speed control device thus controls an engine speed by controlling the rack position based on the rack control signal.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper rotating body, an attachment including a boom and an arm, a controller, an engine, and a hydraulic pump that is driven by the engine and discharges hydraulic oil to drive the attachment.

While providing the control such that the air excess ratio falls within the stoichiometric range, if the throttle opening degree control means determines that a value of the torque is smaller than A [Nm], the throttle opening degree control means provides a first control of controlling the opening degree of the intake throttle valve such that the output shaft rotates at a constant first rotation number. If the throttle opening degree control means determines that the value of the torque is larger than A [Nm], the throttle opening degree control means provides a second control of controlling the opening degree of the intake throttle valve such that the rotation number of the output shaft becomes larger.

Systems and methods to control a prime mover of a transport refrigeration system are disclosed.

The controller can be configured to select a prime mover operation mode based on the input received. In some embodiment, the controller can select a noise reduction operation mode when the TRU is located in a noise regulated area, and can select a fuel efficient mode when the TRU is located outside of the noise regulated areas. In some embodiments, the noise reduction operation mode may include increasing a speed of the prime mover in a soft sloped ramp. In some embodiments, the operation modes can include prime mover operation instructions containing parameters of fuel injection of the prime mover.

The engine controller may be configured to obtain the speed of the engine and obtain the AFR of the engine. The engine controller may also be configured to, based on a transient event affecting the engine, coordinate modification of both the throttle valve to change the speed of the engine and trim valve to change the AFR of the engine to maintain at least one of the speed and the AFR of the engine within a threshold deviance.

A method and system for operating a two-stroke engine includes a fuel system comprising a fuel pressure sensor, fuel temperature sensor and a fuel injector and a controller in communication with the fuel pressure sensor and fuel temperature sensor. The controller controls the fuel injector with a fuel pulsewidth determined by determining a beginning time of a window for measuring fuel pressure, determining an ending time of the window, measuring fuel pressure between the beginning time and the ending time, determining a fuel pulsewidth based on the fuel pressure and fuel temperature and injecting fuel into the two-stroke engine in response to a desired fuel mass.

A hybrid vehicle and a control method are provided. The method of controlling a hybrid vehicle including a motor, an engine, and an engine clutch disposed between the motor and the engine includes determining whether to enter a first mode in which both the engine and the motor operate without engagement of the engine clutch, based on at least a first condition related to an accelerator pedal and a second condition related to a required torque condition, determining torque of the motor in consideration of at least required torque upon determining entry into the first mode, and determining an operating point of the engine based on engine generation power to be supplied to the motor with power of the engine.

A control device for an internal combustion engine executes an automatic stop control and automatic start-up control for an intermittent operation of the internal combustion engine. In the automatic start-up control, the control device is configured to commence a restart by starting fuel injection from a fuel-injection-start cylinder. In the automatic stop control, the control device is configured to: execute an air-fuel-ratio rich processing that controls an air-fuel ratio such that the air-fuel ratio becomes richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio before a start of the fuel cut; execute a throttle closing processing that closes a throttle valve in synchronization with the fuel cut; and execute a throttle opening processing approaches the atmospheric air pressure before a cylinder destined to be the fuel-injection-start cylinder later completes the last intake stroke in the course of the engine stop after execution of the throttle closing processing.

A control process for controlling an engine speed governor of an engine is provided. The process comprises the steps of calculating the current engine power being developed by the engine, and determining an appropriate engine speed for the current engine power based upon a first engine map. The process then instructs the speed governor to adjust the engine speed in accordance with the first map if required. The process monitors for desired engine power requests, and calculates a power ratio of desired engine power versus current engine power upon receiving a desired engine power request. The process then establishes an engine speed adjustment value based upon a second engine map of power ratio versus speed adjustment value, and instructs the speed governor to adjust the engine speed in accordance with the speed adjustment value. A speed governor system incorporating the control process, and a work machine or vehicle incorporating such a system are also provided.
