Toward Improving Resilience of the Navy s Diesel Engine
Abstract
Public Abstract - Approved for Public ReleaseThe overarching goal of this project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is, to work with the ONR, the United States Navy and their marine diesel engine vendors (if/as possible) to improve the resiliency of p,owertrain systems used for unmanned operation. This will include studying approaches to lengthen service intervals by reducing oil s,oot loading and improve resiliency of control and sensing systems used in the Navy s marine diesel engines. Improving resiliency of,the Navy s marine diesel engines has direct Navy relevance as it has the potential to extend mission times and extend service interv,als of in-use engines. Oil life extension will be evaluated by performing engine experiments with introduction of reformate and/or H,2 into the intake stream to reduce the in-cylinder soot levels. Sensor/control life will be improved by evaluating approaches to min,imize the use of physical sensors and add redundancy through modeling. The outcome of this work will be a detailed understanding of,methods to extend oil life intervals and minimize the impact of sensor failure.
