  • Patent number: 9328683
    Abstract: An object is to provide an electronically controlled diesel engine capable of inhibiting the drastic increase of the fuel injection quantity from the fuel injection quantity before acceleration without the measurement of the relation between the number of revolutions of an engine, boost pressure, and the upper smoke limit of the fuel injection quantity. An electronically controlled diesel engine includes an judge part of an acceleration (64) that judges whether a control of acceleration is finished or not based on a difference between a target number of revolutions of the engine (Nset) and an actual number of revolutions of the engine (Ne).

  • Patent number: 8712671
    Abstract: Provided is an engine rpm control device which gradually reduces the output speed of an engine drive object when reducing the engine rpm. The engine rpm control device (20) includes a target engine rpm correction means used upon detection of an engine failure. The target engine rpm correction means has a storage device (51) containing a map of the correlation characteristic between the engine rpm and the output speed of object to be driven by an engine (100). The target engine rpm correction means corrects the target engine rpm so that an instructed engine rpm (Nset) or a derating target engine rpm (Nset?) is shifted to a predetermined failure-preventing engine rpm (N2) while maintaining the reduction ratio of the output speed of the drive object at a predetermined ratio.
