Abstract

In this article, we discuss the importance of the analysis of indicator diagrams and indicated parameters in operational diagnostics of marine engines. An innovative method was devised to improve the effectiveness of diagnostics based on this information. It consisted of the elimination of harmful measurement spaces during cylinder pressure measurements as well as an in-depth analysis of the resultant indicator diagrams based on the functions of heat release. This research demonstrated a negative impact on the quality of indicator diagrams and the values of the parameters indicated by cylinder pressure measurements with sensors mounted on indicator cocks. The elimination of the indicator cock and measuring channel in the cylinder pressure measurements affected the quality of the indicator diagrams and, based on the calculated heat-release functions, allowed the emergence of new (additional) diagnostic symptoms. This could significantly improve the effectiveness of diagnostics performed in operating conditions and, as a result, the effective, trouble-free, and ecological operation of marine engines, thus meeting the growing environmental and operational safety requirements.
