摘要： A system, a method and a computer program to predict a portion of used lubricant in an engine that is to be drained and replaced by fresh lubricant based on an analysis parameter value that is measured in a sample of used engine lubricant from the engine. The system includes a first input that receives the analysis parameter value from the used lubricant and stores the analysis parameter value in a memory of a processor. A second input receives an analysis parameter threshold value for the used lubricant at the end of a service interval and stores the analysis parameter threshold value in a memory of the processor. A determiner predicts a future analysis parameter value of the used lubricant at the end of the service interval based on the analysis parameter value, and the analysis parameter threshold value.

摘要： An engine has a housing and a working member movable within an interior of the housing and separating a combustion chamber from a non-combustion chamber. Additionally, the engine may include a chamber-ventilation system that may include a passageway with a first end of the passageway connected to the non-combustion chamber and a second end of the passageway located downstream of the first end of the passageway. The chamber-ventilation system may further include a filter system disposed within the passageway. The filter system may include a filter housing and a filter disposed in the filter housing. Additionally, the chamber-ventilation system may be configured such that, during operation of the engine, gas travels from the non-combustion chamber, into the first end of the passageway, through the passageway, to the second end of the passageway. The engine may further include a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the chamber-ventilation system or another operating condition of the engine that relates to an operating condition of the chamber-ventilation system and to produce a signal relating to the operating condition sensed.

摘要： A machine lubrication system monitor collects lubricant pressure, flow rate, and temperature information and calculates as a function thereof a substantially constant magnitude signal representing normal machine operation. Deviation therefrom indicates abnormal and potentially damaging machine operation. As a result, variation in lubricating oil viscosity, excess operating temperature, or change in oil flow path, e.g., leakage, in a pressurized lubricating fluid supply may be detected and machine damage avoided.

摘要： A system is presented for analyzing lubricant composition of a vehicle engine. The system includes the vehicle engine; sensors; a controller in communication with the sensors; and a lubrication sampling apparatus coupled to the controller and the engine's lubrication system. The sampling apparatus is configured to: transfer a first sample of the lubricant into a first sample container and a second sample of the lubricant a second sample container. The controller is configured to: receive first sensor readings over a time period of the first sample and second sensor readings over a time period of the second sample; receive a composition analysis of the first sample and a composition analysis of the second sample; and generate a report comprising: the first composition analyses, the first sensor readings, the second composition analysis, and the second sensor readings.

摘要： A method of diagnosing a lubrication system of an engine includes controlling an oil pump with a control signal. The control signal is a command having a value for a desired lubrication fluid pressure from the oil pump for a current operating state of the engine. A processing unit compares the value of the control signal for the current operating state of the engine to a threshold control value for the current operating state of the engine. When the processing unit determines that the value of the control signal for the current operating state of the engine deviates from the threshold control value for the current operating state of the engine, the processing unit analyzes the value of the control signal to identify a fault in the lubrication system.

摘要： A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold and a ventilation system may allow a reliable and fault-free diagnosis of a fault in the ventilation. The ventilation system may be a tank ventilation or a crankcase ventilation. The ventilation duct is conducted to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. At least one pressure differential may be determined between an intake-manifold pressure or an ambient pressure, on the one hand, and a pressure in the ventilation duct, on the other hand. A fault in the ventilation may be diagnosed as a function of the at least one pressure differential.
