Method for starting a gaseous fuel combustion engine

摘要

A method for starting a gaseous fuel internal combustion engine (10) is disclosed. According to the disclosed method, the engine is rotated using a start device until a first speed threshold is reached. After reaching the first speed threshold, pilot fuel is supplied to a plurality of cylinders (26A-26D) of the engine to combust the same. After performing an ignition health check, gaseous fuel is supplied to all or a relatively large number of cylinders (26A-26D) to start accelerating the engine up to a second speed threshold.
