Evaluations of Commercial Induction Air Monitors and Go/No-Go Oil Quality Testers as Built-In Test Equipment (BITE)

摘要

In the primary phases of this program, existing commercial AIR and OIL built-in test equipment (BITE) have been reviewed for military vehicle engine application. Current and potential manufacturers of BITE devices were contacted and interviewed, after which potential AIR and OIL BITE were selected for bench testing. These tests produced results of sufficient promise to justify preliminary field evaluation. The field test has been designed to evaluate the BITE devices in actual field operations in order to experience the full range of environmental and operational conditions. The field test has been underway only a short time, and the preliminary data is inconclusive because of the small data volume. (Author)
