Abstract
A system of analyzing engine performance to assist in the improved control of a dual fuel engine includes measuring devices for measuring parameters including engine load, RPM, fuel injected, air inlet temperature, exhaust temperature, oxygen or carbon dioxide levels in the exhaust gases, at discrete time intervals. An electronic storage device stores the data collected by the measuring devices at each of the discrete time intervals, and analysis apparatus analyzes the stored data to establish a data table for each parameter against each measured engine load and RPM point. Imaging software is provided for presenting the data sets for each parameter as a three dimensional surface plotted against load and RPM.
