Abstract

A method for controlling the air-fuel ratio in a natural gas engine having an air-fuel mixing device, comprises: determining a speed set-point and an actual engine speed, determining a fuel command based on said speed set-point and said engine speed and controlling the fuel flow to the air-fuel mixing device in response to said fuel command. An air-fuel control system for natural gas engines, comprises: means to determine a speed set-point and an actual engine speed, a governor control unit for generating a fuel command based on said speed set-point and said actual engine speed and a fuel flow regulator coupled to said governor control unit for regulating the flow of fuel to an air-fuel mixing device in response to said fuel command.
