F02D CONTROLLING COMBUSTION ENGINES (vehicle fittings, acting on a single sub-unit only, for automatically controlling vehicle speed B60K31/00; conjoint control of vehicle sub-units of different type or different function, road vehicle drive control systems for purposes other than the control of a single sub-unit B60W)
Introduced: September 1968
Description
F02D covers control systems and regulatory mechanisms for internal combustion engines, including fuel injection timing and quantity, ignition timing, air intake, and emission control strategies. This subclass encompasses mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electronic control devices that optimize engine performance across operating conditions, including governors, carburetors, fuel pumps, and modern electronic control units (ECUs). F02D excludes engine design itself (F02B) and fuel supply systems not directly involved in engine control (F02M), focusing instead on active regulation and feedback systems that manage engine operation.
