Abstract
A system for detecting abnormalities in a gas engine comprises: a pressure measuring device for measuring the pressure within each engine cylinder to generate corresponding signals; a device for determining from these signals the maximum pressure for every cycle of the engine operation; a comparator circuit for comparing each maximum pressure with reference values of a specific range and, when the maximum pressure is outside of that range, generating a corresponding signal indicating the existence of an abnormality; and an actuator operating in response to this signal to actuate and close a shut-off valve in the fuel gas supply line of the engine, an alarm device being simultaneously activated by this signal.
