  • Engine overheat protection system for dual horse power engine
    Patent number: 4422354
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system for use with an internal combustion engine connected to a load through a variable speed transmission. The instant system protects the engine and conserves fuel by automatically reducing the engine horse power when it is appropriate. The system includes a fuel valve connected to a source of fuel for affecting the rate of fuel delivered to the internal combustion engine for determining the power output of the engine. A temperature responsive control is connected to a portion of the internal combustion engine and is connected to the fuel valve to affect the fuel valve for regulating the rate of fuel delivered to the engine when the temperature of coolant in the internal combustion engine reaches a predetermined value. A speed responsive control is connected to a portion of a power train connected to the output of the engine and is connected to the fuel valve in series with the temperature responsive control.
