Diagnostic Model of the Marine Propulsion System
Naval propulsion systems are characterized by a high degree of complexity within a single system and a large variation between the solutions applied to individual vessels. In this situation, issues relating to the comprehensive diagnostic is a serious problem. Diagnostics models are useful to made the this problem easier. It should be emphasized that it is impossible to develop a universal model correct for all types of vessels. The paper presents general guidelines for the creation of diagnostic models. The results of first stage of studies on diagnostic model covers unit equipped with a twin-engine twin-shaft drive system had been presented.Introduction Changes of technical state of the machine occur as a result of its response to changes in the energy emitted by them. If qualitative and quantitative parameters of this energy are known diagnostician after proper analysis is able to determine the technical condition of the machine. It can be concluded that the technical diagnostics is a test of object response to the impact of energy causing change of its technical condition [9]. As far as the destruction of the object model is concerned we find that the degree of wear of the machine is proportional to the energy dissipated from it.
