Engine Condition Monitoring System Based On Torsional Vibration by Spectrum Oceanic

The Engine Condition Monitoring System (ECMS) is a non-intrusive condition monitoring technology that predicts engine health and defects much earlier than all other systems. This is achieved with the help of instantaneous angular speed obtained by measuring speed.

How does ECMS work?

Defects in an engine generate non-uniformity in the rotation (torsional vibration) of the crankshaft, which can be measured on the flywheel by the installation of a single non-intrusive speed sensor (a magnetic pickup sensor). This helps to assess in detail the mechanical behavior of the engine and its operating condition by diagnosing injection, compression, or valve state defaults, as well as bearing and moving parts damages.

What Sets It Apart From Its Competitors?

Class-certified by ABS and IRS

Works for Engines of Any Brand or Model

Requires Only a Single, Non-Invasive Sensor

In-situ (Customer Environment) As Well as Remote Monitoring Are Available.

Integrate data from other sources into a single platform.

How does it help you?

Avoid Unplanned Shutdowns And Breakdowns.

Shift To Condition-Based Maintenance From Scheduled Maintenance

Achieve Significant Savings In Lifecycle Costs

Reduce The Carbon Footprint.

Overcome The Logistical Challenges Of Procuring Spare Parts And Skilled Manpower.

Take Independent Decisions Without The Need For A Certified Expert.

Insights From Our System

1. Global Indicators

Global indicators will indicate instantaneous readings for the given operating condition.

Engine Health: Indicates the overall health of the engine in percentage.
Combustion condition: Indicates Combustion Condition
RPM: Engine RPM
Performance of Mounts & Supports
Governor, Crank driven Accessories Health
Performance of the vibration of Damper
Increase in Fuel consumption

2. Cylinder Specific Indicators

Cylinder Specific Indicators provide instantaneous unit-specific injection, bearing, compression, and moving parts conditions of individual cylinders for the given operating conditions. This is used to identify the health of cylinders in pairs in case of TDC ( Unit tagging is done by taking signals from the flywheel for a 4-stroke engine) tuning.

3. Alerts & Instructions

This information is a summary of recommended actions based on the nature of the operation for the operator to either be aware of or to act.

Red Triangle: Indicates exercising caution and watching related engine operation closely (pre-alert conditions)
Red circle: Indicates the alert condition. You may need to understand the operating condition better if you need minor intervention or troubleshooting if the trend/engine dynamic behavior persists irrespective of load conditions.

4. Trends

The Trends tab draws long-term trends (approximately 3- months) for different indicators in the required combinations.

5. Live Diagnostic Status

It indicates the processor status when processing the input right from data recording.

6. Signal Status

It indicates synchronization information between two sensors when needed.
