Improving the Reliability of Low-Speed Diesel Engines Through the Use of a System for Monitoring the Condition of Piston Rings

It is required to provide operating and maintenance staff with complete information about all technological processes and engine parameters to ensure efficient and safe operation of medium speed diesel engine. That is why integrated software and hardware systems of centralized control systems should be created, ensuring the integration of data from various sources and applications, into a comprehensive environment of operational control and management in real time. These systems perform the functions of measuring parameters and comparing them with reference values. When the monitored parameters deviate in a predetermined limit, the sound and light alarm and monitoring system of the ship is a trigger, the deviation value is recorded and its time is recorded as well. The basis of integrated software and hardware systems for centralized control are sensors, signal processing elements, display and recording means, and sound and light alarms.
