Publication number: 20210071596Abstract: A fuel control system can operate an internal combustion engine to selectively combust a first fuel, such as diesel, during a single fuel mode and to combust the first fuel and a second fuel, such natural gas, during a fuel substitution mode. An in-cylinder parameter sensor is in communication with the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to measure an in-cylinder parameter such as, for example, the indicated mean effective pressure, during combustion of the first fuel during the single fuel mode. The fuel control system utilizes the in-cylinder parameter to determine a first fuel quantity error and can adjust delivery of the first fuel to correct for the first fuel quantity error during the single fuel and fuel substitution modes. The fuel control system can also use the first fuel quantity error to determine and adjust for a second fuel quantity error.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2019Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Nathan Atterberry, Matthew Parker, Matthew Engfehr
