Fuel filling system of fuel pump reservoir
The fuel filling system of a fuel pump reservoir includes: a reservoir mounted in a fuel tank; a fuel pump mounted in the reservoir and configured to deliver the fuel in the reservoir to an engine and to discharge a portion of the fuel to a fuel branch line; a relief valve disposed on a fuel supply line and configured to release pressure applied to the fuel supply line; a first jet pump configured to fill the reservoir with the fuel using fuel jet flow from the fuel branch line; a second jet pump configured to fill the reservoir with the fuel using fuel jet flow from a fuel return line; and a fuel pump control module (FPCM) configured to control operation of the second jet pump based on a driving mode of a vehicle.
Method and system for controlling propulsive power output of ship
A method and a system for controlling a propulsive power output applied to a propeller shaft of a ship. The ship includes the propeller shaft and a propulsive power source connected to the propeller shaft. A control signal for producing with the propulsive power source a propulsive power is varied within an interval limited by an upper control limit value and a lower control limit value. If a current value of an operational parameter of the ship reaches a first parameter limit value, the upper control limit value is reduced. Thus, the propulsive power source may be prevented from applying a too high power output to the propeller shaft, which would be unfavourable for the ship.
Method and system for controlling a two stroke engine based on fuel pressure
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.
Rollover safe electrolysis unit for vehicles
Safety of vehicles employing an electrolysis generator is improved by a rollover abatement system.
Sub-resolution measurement of fuel in fuel tank
Sub-resolution measurement of fuel in fuel tank. In an embodiment, data, which comprise discrete fuel levels in a fuel tank and fuel injection rates for an internal combustion engine, are received. The fuel injection rates are integrated over a traversed distance to produce a fuel consumption series, and the discrete fuel levels are clustered over the traversed distance to produce a fuel level series. The fuel consumption and fuel level series are synchronized into a model that is used to generate sub-resolution measurements of fuel levels between the discrete fuel levels.
Industrial vehicle work guide system
An industrial vehicle work guide system is disclosed. An industrial vehicle work guide system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a memory configured to store engine used data, a driving time, a fuel consumption amount, and reference fuel efficiency; a display module configured to output a guide message; and an analysis module configured to calculate actual fuel efficiency by using the engine used data, the driving time, and the fuel consumption amount, compare the actual fuel efficiency with the reference fuel efficiency, and control the display module so that the display module outputs a guide message when the actual fuel efficiency is lower than the reference fuel efficiency.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING PROPULSIVE POWER OUTPUT OF SHIP
A method and a system for controlling a propulsive power output applied to a propeller shaft of a ship. If a current value of a propulsive power of a propulsive power source equals or falls below a lower power limit value, and/or if a current value of an operational parameter reaches a first/lower parameter limit value, a control unit is configured to: increase a power output of an internal combustion engine of the propulsive power source. Thus, operation of the engine below a lower power limit is avoided.

Methods and systems for diagnosing fuel system degradation
Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing leaks in a fuel system. In one example, a method may include monitoring a fuel level in a vehicle fuel tank of the fuel system during refueling and indicating degradation of the vehicle fuel tank and/or a bellows coupled to the vehicle fuel tank based on the monitored fuel level. In some examples, indicating the degradation may further be based on a rate of fuel supplied to the vehicle fuel tank during the refueling and/or a vehicle fuel economy. In this way, degradation to the vehicle fuel tank and the bellows may be passively determined with minimal specialized components in the fuel system.
