ABSTRACT:
A system and method is described for measuring fuel consumption by combustion engines operated in a manner wherein one component of fuel is used for the process of combustion itself and another complementary component of that same fuel is employed within a recirculation path for the purpose of cooling functions, for example, the cooling of fuel injectors. A fuel combiner is incorporated within the fuel delivery system having an output at the suction side of a fuel pump. One input to this fuel combiner is recirculated fuel, while the opposite input is make-up fuel from the fuel tank. The method and system employs a fluid meter which measures the flow of make-up fuel at the input to the combiner. Return or recirculating fuel is cooled and degassed with a gas phase separator in a preferred embodiment. Additionally, a thermally based flow meter provides for enhanced accuracies with the system and method.
