  • Patent number: 10982618
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling an air-fuel ratio for a gas engine are provided. Current outlet pressure of the nozzle is calculated based on current pressure in an intake pipe and a current rotational speed, without detecting the outlet pressure of the nozzle by a sensor. A fluid state of the gas can be determined based on a ratio of the current outlet pressure to the current inlet pressure of the nozzle collected by a sensor, such that a flow rate characteristic corresponding to the fluid state can be selected to calculate power-on duration for the nozzle, so as to set the air-fuel ratio based on the power-on duration. The power-on duration can be calculated based on flow rate characteristics of the gas in respective fluid states, thereby achieving an air-fuel ratio with high accuracy.
