Machinery diagnostics and prognostics/condition based maintenance: installation onboard the usns mercy

摘要

Honeywell and its teammates (PredictDLI, Knowledge Partners of Minnesota, the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Departments at the Georgia Institute of Technology, York International, and WM Engineering) have developed a distributed shipboard system to perform diagnostics and prognostics on rotating equipment (e.g. engines, genrators, and chilled water systems). This Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) system (called MPROS for Machinery Prognostics/Diagnostics System ) consists of MEMS and conventional sensors on the machinery, lcoal intelligent signal processing devices (called "Data Concentrators"), and a centrally located subsystem (called the "PDME" for Prognostics, Diagnostics, Monitoring Engine) which is designed so that it can run either independently or under shipboard monitoring system such as ICAS (Integrated Condition Assessment System).
