Abstract

An apparatus for controlling both pump displacement of a variable displacement hydraulic pump and the quantity of fuel delivered to an internal combustion engine for the purpose of delivering a requested hydraulic flow at a highly efficient operating point. The apparatus includes an underspeed control means for reducing pump displacement in response to the operating speed of the engine lugging below a desired operating speed. Additionally, a fuel control means operates to reduce the quantity of fuel delivered to the engine in response to the operating speed of the engine rising above the desired operating speed.
