Monitoring and diagnostic systems of marine diesel engines

In the article marine diesel engine monitoring systems has been discussed. Systems offered by well known engines and diagnostic equipment producers for example Norcontrol, Autronica, MAN B&W, ABB an system worked up by Technical Institute of Ship Maintenance of the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia are presented. Monitoring systems can curry out a several functions, for example engine load and other engine parameter conditions monitoring engine parameters and processes monitoring in boundary states, wear process and high-level feedback functions of engine control and adjustment monitoring. New trends, simulated by the recent Optrand offers of long-life fiber-optic cylinder pressure sensors, are also presented in the article.
