Abstract
An i.c. engine fuel injection control includes a corona-discharge type transducer for measuring the mass of air aspirated by the engine. Since such a transducer is humidity sensitive a compensation circuit is provided for automatically applying a humidity correction to the control circuit which is used to control the quantity of fuel injected as a function of the transducer output. This control circuit includes an integrator to which the transducer output is periodically applied and a current source which periodically discharges the integrator, the time taken to discharge determining the quantity of fuel injected. The current source is controlled by the humidity sensitive means, to obtain the required compensation.
