Introduction:
Governors regulate the speed of engine, when there are vibration in the load. Its speed decreases, when the load on an engine increases. It becomes necessary to increases the supply of working fluid. When the load on engine decreases, its speed increases and thus less working fluid is required.
A governor, or speed limiter, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor, which uses weights mounted on spring-loaded arms to determine how fast a shaft is spinning, and then uses proportional control to regulate the shaft speed.
Types of governors:
1. Centrifugal governors
2. Inertia governors
