The live data streams can be made available online and can be remotely analyzed by:
In case of cylinder pressure signals:
An indication system for remote thermodynamic analyzing of individual cylinder’s combustion processes.
(see screen video I)
In case of vibration/knock sensor signals:
A NVH analysis system (APB-system) for analyzing the piezo-vibration sensors signals mounted to an engine (or compressor).
(see screen video II)
In case of Ignition voltage signals
An Ignition voltage analysis device for analyzing the required spark break through voltage can be observed.
(under development)
Bottom line:
By applying these remote analysis, any field engine can be observed and analyzed virtually in the same way as if the field engine would be on the OEM`s development engine test bench. Both trouble shooting and service can be done far more efficient. Condition based maintenance would cause total cost of ownership to be reduced.
