    Abstract: A system includes a reciprocating engine having a piston disposed in a cylinder, an intake valve, an exhaust valve, and an exhaust flow path downstream of the exhaust valve. The system also includes a first sensor configured to obtain a first feedback indicative of an exhaust gas parameter in the exhaust flow path. The system also includes a controller configured to identify a valve wear condition of at least one of the intake valve or the exhaust valve at least partially based on the first feedback from the first sensor.

    Abstract: A control system includes a first and second sensor configured to monitor a first type of operating condition of a first and second cylinder of an engine, respectively, a feedback component configured to monitor a second type of operating condition of the engine, and a controller communicatively coupled with the first and second sensors and feedback component. The controller is configured to receive a first measurement of the first type of operating condition from the first sensor, a second measurement of the first type of operating condition from the second sensor, and a third measurement of the second type of operating condition from the feedback component, to analyze the first and second measurements to detect a change in operating peak firing pressure in the first cylinder and/or in the second cylinder, and to analyze the third measurement to diagnose a cause of the change.

    Abstract: A thermoelectric generator system for use between gases from a compressor stage of a turbocharger and a heat transfer fluid of an intercooler that treats the gases. In one version, the system may include a first terminal in thermal contact with gases from the compressor stage of the turbocharger to be treated by the intercooler; a second terminal in thermal contact with a heat transfer fluid for use in the intercooler; and a thermoelectric material between the first terminal and the second terminal, the thermoelectric generator converting a temperature difference between the gases and the heat transfer fluid to an electric current. A controller may be provided for controlling a current flow transmitted from the thermoelectric material to a load. A related intercooler system and engine system are also provided.

    Abstract: A system includes a cylinder, a piston, a sensor configured to detect vibrations of the cylinder, piston, or both that correspond with varying pressures within the cylinder, and a controller coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive a first signal from the sensor corresponding with first vibrations of the cylinder and to deduce from the first signal a first operating value of a parameter indicative of peak firing pressure at a first time, to compare the first operating value with a baseline value of the parameter indicative of peak firing pressure to detect a change in peak firing pressure, to receive a second signal from the sensor corresponding with second vibrations of the cylinder and to deduce from the second signal a second operating value of the parameter indicative of peak firing pressure at a second time, and to compare the second operating value with the baseline value to confirm the change in peak firing pressure.
