This PRCI research project studied methods to detect and quantify damage during startup in two cycle gas engines.
The application of modern automation and combustion control technologies has greatly increased the reliability of engine operation when operating under load. Detonation and preignition along with unanticipated shutdowns have been reduced if not eliminated on modernized legacy engines; however, starting and unloaded operation can result insubstantial detonation and preignition resulting in pressure and temperatures, which significantly exceed loaded operation. In addition, these combustion aberrations can trip an engine off line before it achieves stable loaded operation, which will result in a failed start and may trigger the dispatch of a technician to investigate and resolve the problem.
This webinar will present the finding of this research and how detection of various damaging cycles is achievable using pressure waveform characteristics.
