Fuel system having variable waveform based on operator objective
First Claim
1. A fuel control system for an engine having a combustion chamber, the fuel control system comprising:
- a source of pressurized fluid;
a fuel injecting device configured to receive the pressurized fluid and inject fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine in response to a fuel injection command signal; and
a controller in communication with the fuel injecting device, the controller being configured to;
receive an input indicative of an operator desired objective;
select a set of data corresponding to the operator desired objective from a plurality of sets of data stored within a memory of the controller; and
determine the fuel injection command signal from the selected set of data and at least one current operating condition of the engine.

Abstract
A fuel control system for an engine having at least one combustion chamber is disclosed. The fuel control system has a source of pressurized fluid, a fuel injecting device, and a controller in communication with the fuel injecting device. The fuel injecting device receives the pressurized fluid and injects fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine in response to a fuel injection command signal. The controller receives an input indicative of an operator desired objective and selects a set of data corresponding to the operator desired objective from a plurality of sets of data stored within a memory of the controller. The controller then determines the fuel injection command signal from the selected set of data and at least one current operating condition of the engine.

10. A method of operating a fuel control system, comprising:
-
pressurizing a fluid and directing the pressurized fluid to a fuel injecting device;
receiving an input indicative of an operator desired objective;
selecting a set of data corresponding to the operator desired objective from a plurality of sets of data;
determining a fuel delivery characteristic from the selected set of data and at least one current operating condition of an engine;
generating an injection command signal indicative of the fuel delivery characteristic; and
sending the injection command signal to the fuel injecting device.
