HYDROGEN COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17988302 titled 'HYDROGEN COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The combustion system for a vehicle engine described in the patent application involves a hydrogen fuel system that provides hydrogen fuel to a combustor, which generates combustion gases. The fuel delivery assembly delivers the hydrogen fuel to the combustor, while a first control system manages operational aspects of the engine. A second control system, with a faster update rate, monitors parameters of the hydrogen fuel system and controls fuel delivery or combustion accordingly.
- Hydrogen fuel system for vehicle engine
- Combustor for generating combustion gases
- Fuel delivery assembly for delivering hydrogen fuel
- First control system for managing engine operations
- Second control system with faster update rate for monitoring and controlling hydrogen fuel system

Original Abstract Submitted
A combustion system for a vehicle having an engine includes a hydrogen fuel system having a fuel source providing a hydrogen fuel, a combustor operable to combust the hydrogen fuel to generate combustion gases, and a fuel delivery assembly operable to deliver the hydrogen fuel from the fuel source to the combustor. A first control system has a first update rate and is operable to control one or more operational aspects of the turbine engine. A second control system is in communication with the first control system and the hydrogen fuel system and has a second update rate faster than the first update rate. The second control system is operable to monitor at least one parameter associated with the hydrogen fuel system and output at least one control signal to the hydrogen fuel system to control the delivery or the combustion of the hydrogen fuel.
