Flywheel Governor
Numéro d’image : 12635895
| A flywheel governor, also called a centrifugal governor, is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the amount of fuel (or working fluid) admitted, so as to maintain a near-constant speed, irrespective of the load or fuel-supply conditions. It uses the principle of proportional control. It was invented in 1788 by James Watt to control his steam engine where it regulates the admission of steam into the cylinder (s). Its widest use was on steam engines during the Steam Age in the 19th century. It is also found on internal combustion engines and variously fuelled turbines, and in some modern striking clocks. As the flywheel increases in speed the two balls swing outward to maintain the constant speed of the flywheel. | |
