  • Patent number: 9488114
    Abstract: A control system for a dual gaseous and liquid fuel engine includes an electronic controller configured to receive data from a plurality of sensing mechanisms indicative of an error in a plurality of different engine operating parameters. The electronic controller is further configured to determine a highest priority one of the errors, and limit substitution of the gaseous fuel responsive to a normalized value thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140136079
    Abstract: Controlling a gaseous fuel internal combustion engine includes receiving a signal indicative of a desired state of an operating parameter of the engine dependent upon a fueling rate, and tracking the desired state via adjusting a pressure drop from a gaseous fuel common rail to an intake conduit such that the fueling rate is adjusted toward a fueling accordant with the desired state. The control further includes limiting an error in the tracking via executing the adjustment of the pressure drop responsive to a fluid pressure disturbance within the intake conduit.
