Monitoring Systems of Ship Power Plants During Operation

The paper is devoted to the problem of creating a universal integrated monitoring system for marine diesel engines. A review of the existing systems for diagnosing the monitoring of ship engines is made, and their disadvantages are shown. The structure of diagnostic parameters and the selection method of measuring instruments are proposed. It is shown that the main objects to be monitored during the monitoring are the diesel engine workflow, the condition of the cylinder-piston group parts, the condition of the engine oil, vibration indicators of the engine, and systems serving the main engine. When creating monitoring systems, it is proposed to maximize the use of elements of the engine electronic control system and information obtained from the sensors of this system. The paper outlines the steps for the practical implementation of the developed system, it is shown that its implementation will reduce the operating costs of shipping companies and increase the safety of navigation.
