Accelerated Capabilities Initiative Condition-Based Maintenance: Machinery Diagnostics/Prognostics II
Abstract
Machinery diagnostics and prognostics is an enabling technology for preventing equipment operational failures, reducing maintenance costs and improving system design. The Navy is currently investigating the impact of this technology for shipboard applications. A research team is currently participating in a shipboard demonstration of machinery monitoring system for a ships service gas turbine generator (SSGTG) set. The monitoring equipment was developed using modified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology to enable rapid revisions to the software as design requirements changed, with an open architecture to enable monitoring multiple components. A key focus of this study concerned the condition of the bearings and gears of the mechanical components as well as the electrical components such as windings and diodes.
