CONDITION MONITORING OF DIESEL ENGINES WITH COMPONENT MODELS

Work is being carried out in The Netherlands on an intelligent diesel engine monitoring system, which will be able to assess engine health, diagnose the causes of faults and indicate the remaining life before limits are exceeded. The project primarily addresses the thermodynamic aspects. Intelligent diesel engine monitoring systems are mainly based on rules and heuristic knowledge. In addition to heuristics, knowledge,. based on process models, is used in this project. Two types of process models are applied: integral engine model; and component models. The advantage of using process models is elucidated, in particular the use of component models. The structure of the component models, the difference between theoretical models and those applicable to diesel engines, the tuning of the models to an engine and the diagnostic capabilities are shown.
