They monitor the mechanical condition by different approaches, nevertheless, oil and vibration monitoring are related in information collecting and processing. In the same mechanical system, the information obtained from the same information source can be described with the same expression form. The expressions are constituted of a structure matrix, a relative matrix and a system matrix. For oil and vibration monitoring, the information source is correlation and the collection is independent and complementary. And oil monitoring and vibration monitoring have the same process method when they yield their information. This research has provided a reasonable and useful approach to combine oil monitoring and vibration monitoring.展开更多

The method promotes theprecision of diagnostic criterions for evaluating the wear state of mechanical facilities, andjudging abnormal data. According to the critical boundary points defined, a new measure onmonitoring wear state and identifying probable wear faults can be got. The method can be applied tospectrometric analysis and direct reading ferrographic analysis. On the basis of the analysis anddiscussion of two examples of 8NVD48A-2U diesel engines, the practicality is proved to be aneffective method in oil monitoring.展开更多

As part of the experiment, the changes in engine oils occurring during actual operation (under conditions which can be described as "harsh", i.e., short distance driving, frequent starting of the engine, and extended engine idling) have been observed. An evaluation of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of an engine oil sample was presented. The infrared spectra of both fresh and used oils were recorded with the Thermo Nicolett IS5. The tests were conducted according to the Appendix A2 of ASTM 2412. For the used engine oil differentiation process, FTIR spectra were analyzed in the regions of 1,700–2,000 cm-1 and 3,600–3,700 cm-1. The FTIR spectrometry is demonstrated to be effective for the analysis and monitoring of processes of oxidation and shown to provide rapid and accurate information relating to the aging process of engine oils. The results may facilitate decision-making regarding the service life of engine oils. The achieved dependencies can make it possible to upgrade the sensor assembly consisting of an FTIR source.展开更多

Nowadays, most measuring methods are based on offline sampling or on online measuring with a single sensor. An online oil monitoring system with multiple sensors was designed. The measurement data was processed with a fuzzy intelligence system. Information from integrated sensors in an oil online monitoring system was evaluated using fuzzy logic. The analyses show that the multiple sensors evaluation results are more reliable than online monitoring systems with single sensors.展开更多

The anticipation action, which characterizes this proactive maintenance strategy is mainly based on monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis and decision-making modules. Oil monitoring is a key component of a successful condition monitoring program. It can be used as a proactive tool to identify the wear modes of rubbing pans and diagnoses the faults in machinery. But diagnosis relying on oil analysis technology must deal with uncertain knowledge and fuzzy input data. Besides other methods, Bayesian Networks have been extensively applied to fault diagnosis with the advantages of uncertainty inference; however, in the area of oil monitoring, it is a new field. This paper presents an integrated Bayesian network based decision support for maintenance of diesel engines.展开更多
