Abstract:
Method and apparatus for monitoring and/or detecting combustion misfire events in periodic combustion processes in internal combustion engines, using combustion signals derived from a first oxygen sensor exposed to exhaust gas of a periodic combustion process and a second oxygen sensor exposed to the same exhaust gas. The first oxygen sensor is resistive-based, and responds relatively faster to changes in the temperature and/or composition of the exhaust gas. The second oxygen sensor is voltaic-based or ampometric-based, and responds relatively slower to changes to the temperature and/or composition of the exhaust gas. When the temperature and/or composition of the exhaust changes rapidly but transiently due to a combustion misfire event, the different response rates of the first and second combustion signals allows for the combustion misfire event(s) to be detected. Either and/or both oxygen sensors may be used to control the engine in a conventional fashion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle dynamometer system for dynamometer testing of a vehicle (100), comprising at least one dynamometer test unit (110, 111) having a power source (201), the power source (201) comprising an output shaft (202) arranged for, in use, rotation with a vehicle wheel shaft (105, 106), the system further comprising an adapter plate, said adapter plate comprising means for allowing fixed connection to a wheel hub (203) of a wheel shaft (105, 106) being tested, said adapter plate further comprising means for allowing fixed connection of the adapter plate to the output shaft (202) of said dynamometer test unit (110, 111) to thereby connect the output shaft (202) of the dynamometer test unit (110, 111) to said wheel shaft (105, 106). The adapter plate (204) is designed such that, when fixedly connected to said wheel hub (203) but disconnected from said dynamometer test unit (110, 111), said adapter plate (204) is arranged to support the vehicle (100) to allow relocation of said vehicle (100) while supported by said adapter plate (204).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an interface. In particular, the present invention enables communication between a vehicle and other devices. The invention relates to an interface for use in communication between a vehicle and a smart device, wherein the interface includes, a signal receiver; a conditioning circuit; and a signal transmitter; characterised in that the interface is configured to; receive an input signal from the vehicle via the signal receiver; convert the input signal to a form that is compatible with a sound card of a smart device via the conditioning circuit; and transmit the converted signal to the smart device via the transmitter.
Abstract:
A method of evaluating operating capability of a prime mover includes: starting the prime mover with a minimum load requirement threshold; obtaining a reference prime mover operation parameter for the prime mover; comparing the reference prime mover operation parameter with a standard prime mover operation parameter to determine a reference matrix; and adjusting via a TRS controller a standard operation threshold based on the reference matrix to obtain an optimal operation threshold.
Abstract:
There is provided a system and method for detecting an abnormal operation of a motor controlling an operating parameter of a machine. Both a torque of the motor and the operating parameter are monitored. A memory stores a plurality of predetermined torque values indicative of a normal operation of the motor. A plurality of operating parameter values are also stored in the memory with each operating parameter value having a corresponding predetermined torque value associated therewith. The predetermined torque value corresponding to the monitored operating parameter is retrieved from the memory and compared to the monitored torque value to detect an abnormal operation of the motor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for inspecting a gas turbine (10), wherein a robotic device (29) is inserted into the interior of the gas turbine (10), and wherein the robotic device (29) is moved, by means of the drive thereof, and/or fixed in the interior space. Areas to be inspected are optically examined and images thus obtained are transferred to an external evaluation unit (32). The robotic device (29) is inserted via an air inlet A or a gas outlet B, or via an access opening C of the gas turbine (10). The robotic device (29) is moved along a flow channel (33), wherein the robotic device (29) is fixed either to a stationary component or to a rotating component of the gas turbine (10).
Abstract:
