Condition Monitoring of Diesel Engines

  • Chapter
Complex System Maintenance Handbook

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Reliability Engineering ((RELIABILITY))

Abstract

The engine is the heart of the ship; and the lubricant is the lifeblood of the engine. Wear is one of the main causes that lead to engine failures. It is desirable to avoid engine breakdowns for reasons of safety and economy. This has led to an increasing interest in engine condition monitoring and performance modeling so as to provide useful information for maintenance decision.
