Intelligent Diagnosis of V-Type Marine Diesel Engines Based on Multifeatures Extracted From Instantaneous Crankshaft Speed

This paper presents an intelligent combustion fault diagnosis approach for V-type marine diesel engines with uneven firing intervals based on the instantaneous crankshaft speed (ICS). First, experimental ICSs of a 16-cylinder marine diesel engine under normal and different degrees of fault conditions are investigated to obtain the most sensitive fault features. A new polar representation method named cyclic-polar-map (CPM) is proposed to effectively demonstrate the fault features. The quantitative radii of the CPM are used to indicate the location and degree of fault. Then, a support vector machine (SVM)-based intelligent fault diagnosis system is developed for automatically detecting the combustion faults with the features extracted from the proposed CPM and the frequency analysis of ICS. In addition, for the SVM training set is not always available in practice, a dynamic model of the crankshaft system is developed to simulate different fault patterns. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed intelligent diagnosis approach is validated by experimental data. The results show that the proposed SVM-based intelligent diagnosis system using both CPM features and frequency domain features of the ICS can obtain good accuracies under different fault degrees at various speed and load conditions.
