Abstract

See full text

A system for delivering cryogenic fuels to an engine uses a plurality of cryogenic pumps operating in offset phases to deliver high pressure fuel with a minimum of pressure ripple. The cryogenic pumps use engine oil and a hydraulic pump for actuation via electrohydraulic valves. A charge pump maintains pressure in the feed line so that the cryogenic pumps can be located away from the cryogenic fuel tank. A control strategy for the hydraulic pumps allows output pressure and flow rate to be closely controlled and regulated.
