Description
Summary:Fault detection in marine diesel engine lubrication systems is crucial for ensuring the long-term stable operation of diesel engines and the safety of maritime navigation. Traditional fixed-parameter alarm threshold methods lack flexibility and are prone to missing faults. Data-driven approaches like machine learning require high-quality data for fault samples. This study leverages the relative advantages of data mining methods and threshold techniques, proposing an adaptive threshold construction method based on dynamic parameter relationship inference. Employing an algorithm for inferring dynamic relationships among multiple parameters of the lubrication system builds an adaptive threshold detection model. Extensive diesel engine tests and actual fault data demonstrate that the proposed method can address the issues of missed faults encountered by static threshold methods and the low detection accuracy of machine learning approaches without the need for fault samples. This significantly enhances fault detection accuracy in marine diesel engine lubrication systems, offering considerable industrial practical value.
