  • Load sharing system for multiple engine power plants
    Patent number: 4258552
    Abstract: A load sharing arrangement for a multiple engine power plant operating to supply power to a common load wherein the power output of each engine is proportional to the amount of fuel supplied thereto. A pneumatic speed setting designated by the power plant operator is directed so as to control the power output of one of the engines (master), and remotely located control system sensitive to the power output of each of the engines, adjusts the power output of the other engine (slave) so that the common load is equally shared at the designated speed setting.
