Fuel consumption determination method for marine diesel engine, involves determining fuel consumption over total time range from difference between total time ranges taken by fuel volume to be led through feed conduit and return line

摘要

The method involves determining time interval between output signals of a signal transmitter in a predetermined time period. The signals with the time interval smaller than a predetermined time interval or the signals with small average time interval are discarded. Fuel volume led through a feed conduit and a return line over total time ranges is determined by the remaining signals of the signal transmitter. Fuel consumption over a total time range is determined from a difference between the total time ranges taken by the fuel volume to be led through the feed conduit and the return line. The signal transmitter is designed as a signal transducer of a piston flow meter, a screw displacement volumeter, a gear displacement volumeter, an oval wheel volumeter, a Coriolis flow meter, a rotary vane displacement volumeter or an impeller displacement volumeter.
