pressure

governor

• It monitors both the pump discharge and intake discharge pressures and

maintains a steady pump discharge pressure within system capabilities by

controlling the engine speed or holds a selected engine RPM.

• It operates in one of two modes, pressure or RPM

PRESSURE MODE

In pressure mode the governor maintains a constant pump discharge pressure. The

discharge pressure is monitored and compared to the Operator’s selected pressure

setting, the engine RPM is varied to keep the discharge pressure at the selected setting.

RPM MODE

In RPM mode the governor maintains a constant engine RPM.

What is the purpose of a Governor?

Engine Control Methods:

• J1939 or ISO CAN Bus

– Most current production diesel engines

• Analog Signal (0.6 – 4.5V max)

– Used on most engines prior to CAN Bus

datalink control capability

– Used to control most engines, except

Caterpillar

• Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Signal

– Used to control Caterpillar engines prior to

May 2008

FRC GOVERNORSPROVIDE SAFER PUMP OPERATION

• Constantly monitors discharge

pressure and make corrections

if required.

• Limits RPM increases when

conditions arise that fall outside

of normal operating parameters.

• Message display always alerts

operator to what the governor is

doing and what type of problem

it is encountering if one exists

FRC GOVERNORSPROVIDE SAFER PUMP OPERATION

Running Away From Water

● If pressure drops and an

increase in RPM does not bring the

pressure back up, the governor

recognizes this as a running away

from water condition.

● When this condition occurs the

governor switches to the RPM

LIMIT MODE, LOW WATER CYCLE

or NO SUPPLY WATER, alerts the

operator and controls the engine

RPM accordingly.

Running Away From Waterpressure is above 45 PSI but lower than expected at that RPM

RPM LIMIT MODE

● If the discharge pressure stays above

45 PSI, the governor behaves like a

manual throttle and the operator can

raise or lower the engine RPM.

● If the RPM is manually lowered to a

point where the pump is not running

away from water and pressure is stable,

the RPM limit mode is canceled.

● When the pressure comes back to the

selected pressure setting, the RPM limit

mode is canceled and the governor

switches to normal operation.

RPM LIMIT MODESystem Monitors Both Pressure & RPM – Calculating the Pumps Output Characteristics it Limits RPM if Pressure is Not Sufficient

Running Away From Waterpressure is between 15 and 45 PSI

LOW WATER CYCLEEngine Limitedto 1100 RPM

LOW WATER CYCLE

● If the discharge pressure is between

15 and 45 PSI, the engine is set at 1100

RPM.

● If the pressure does not rise above 45

PSI in 7 seconds, the governor sets the

engine RPM at idle.

● The governor repeats the low water

cycle as long as the discharge pressure

is between 15 and 45 PSI.

● When the pressure rises above 45

PSI the governor resumes normal

operation.

Running Away From Waterpressure is lower than 15 PSI

NO SUPPLY WATER

● If the discharge pressure is below 15

PSI, the engine RPM is set at idle and

the message display flashes NO

WATER.

● If, within 3 minutes, the discharge

pressure rises above 15 PSI the

governor enters the low water cycle.

● If the discharge pressure does not

rise above 15 PSI within 3 minutes, the

governor switches to idle mode and

cancels the pressure setting.

NO WATER MODEEngine Goes to IDLE
