Combustion control device for gas engine
In an embodiment, a combustion control device for an engine includes: a knocking determination unit to determine occurrence of knocking of each of the cylinders; a knocking reduction unit to halt or reduce supply of gas to a cylinder in which the knocking is occurring and reduce supply of the gas to other cylinders in which the knocking is not occurring; a first recovery unit configured to recover a state where the gas is at least reduced in the cylinder in which the knocking is occurring; and a second recovery unit configured to recover a state where the gas is reduced in other cylinders within which knocking is not occurring. In embodiments, a recovery time of the first recovery unit is shorter than a recovery time of the second recovery unit, and prioritizing recovery of the cylinder in which the knocking is occurring.
1. A combustion control device for a gas engine, comprising:
a knocking determination unit configured to determine occurrence of knocking of cylinders of the gas engine;
a knocking reduction unit configured to halt or reduce supply of gas fuel to a cylinder in which the knocking is occurring and reduce supply of the gas fuel to other cylinders in which the knocking is not occurring, if the occurrence of the knocking is determined by the knocking occurrence determination unit;
a first recovery unit configured to recover a state in the cylinder in which the gas fuel has been halted or reduced in which the knocking has occurred, to a state that precedes the halt or the reduction of the supply of gas fuel to the cylinder in which the knocking has occurred, if it is determined that the knocking has not occurred after the halt or reduction; and
a second recovery unit configured to recover a state in the other cylinders in which the gas fuel has been reduced which are not the cylinder in which the knocking has occurred, to a state that precedes the halt or reduction of the supply of gas fuel to the cylinder in which the knocking has occurred,
wherein a recovery time of the first recovery unit is shorter than a recovery time of the second recovery unit, and recovery of the cylinder in which the knocking is occurring is performed as a priority.
2. The combustion control device for a gas engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first recovery unit and the second recovery unit are configured to start a recovery control if the knocking has not occurred within a predetermined period after the halt or reduction of the gas fuel by the knocking reduction unit.
3. The combustion control device for a gas engine according to claim 1 , wherein an increase rate of the gas fuel of the first recovery unit is to be set to be greater than an increase rate of the gas fuel of the second recovery unit.
4. The combustion control device for a gas engine according claim 1 ,
wherein an amount of reduction of the gas fuel reduced by the knocking reduction unit is set to be larger for the cylinder in which the knocking has occurred than for the other cylinders in which the knocking has not occurred.
5. The combustion control device for a gas engine according to claim 2 ,
wherein, if the knocking occurs again in the predetermined period, the gas fuel is reduced further by an amount of reduction of the gas fuel which is set by the knocking reduction unit at a time if the knocking occurs again.
