CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ROTATING MACHINERY ON SHIPS
Morten Aleksander Rasmussen, J F Kuypers · 1982
This paper describes a condition monitoring system developed by The Ship Research Institute of Norway for the Royal Netherlands Navy. A computer system will be used for control and surveillance of the platform aboard a new class of submarines now under construction for the Navy. By implementing a condition monitoring system using the same computers and sensors as the control and surveillance system the additional cost for the condition monitoring system will be relatively low. The condition monitoring system is divided into a performance monitoring and a vibration monitoring module. The performance monitoring part accepts thermodynamic data from the on-line control and primary surveillance systems which is processed into easy to understand health parameters. The vibration monitoring system comprises both monitoring and diagnostic modes. The presentation of information is based on graphic techniques using VDU and CRT screens. The information is presented in both tabulated and graphical forms.
