j_martell Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just curious how the engine load gauge in the co-pilot works ......is it actual readings from the injectors fuel rate, or theoretical reading based in revs/throttle positon......

wheeler73 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Not sure but I think it is a calculation based on fuel rate, rpms, and throttle pedal position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 I run with the load gauge on the screen and have noticed the last little while that it's 10% when idling warm with pto out, when it used to be 6 or 7% at the same conditions....just trying to understand how it gets the numbers.....

Macktech689 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There's not any info around about engine load calculation, all that has been mentioned previously is correct. Also add boost pressure, turbo wheel speed, and turbo nozzle position. The readings you stated sound right, if no power or missfire problems dont be concerned these engines constantly learn and adjust themselves to maintain proper performance.
