A system to monitor key performance parameters of aircraft engines, including vibration, shaft speeds, fuel, oil system, control system, and fault detection. Utilizes up to 4 vibration channels and tracks various engine conditions for precise diagnostics.
E N D
Parameters monitored by Quick • Vibration (5 Hz) • Up to 4 vibration channels usually configured to monitor the same vibration transducer at different frequency ranges (500 , 1250Hz, 2.5, 5, 10, 40, 80 kHz). • The 3 shaft speeds and a once-per-rev tachometer signal to give phase.
Parameters monitored by Quick • Performance Parameters (20-40Hz) • Flight condition : Altitude, Mach number • Fuel : Fuel Metering Valve position, Demanded Fuel flow, Fuel flow meter • Outputs : Exhaust Pressure ratio, shaft speeds, Turbine gas temp. • Oil System : Oil Pressure, temperature, quantity • Control system : Demanded Bleed valve positions, Variable stator vane position, Control loop flag, Throttle angle • Fault detection : Magnetic Chip detector, Surge detect • Temperatures & Pressures : Ambient (20), IP (25), HP (30), By-pass Pressure (16), Exhaust Pressure, Turbine Air temp • Others
Features, Symptoms & Events • Features • Occurrences of diagnostic interest. E.g. step change in vibration level
Features, Symptoms & Events • Features • Occurrences of diagnostic interest. E.g. step change in vibration level • Symptoms • A feature occurring at a specific engine condition may be a symptom of a known fault.
Features, Symptoms & Events • Events • The co-occurrence of several symptoms leads to the diagnosis of an event
