SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING PISTON RING WEAR

A machine may comprise a piston; a memory; and an electronic control module. The electronic control module may be configured to obtain information identifying a previous amount of wear of the piston ring and information identifying an initial dimension of a coating of the piston ring; determine a pi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A machine may comprise a piston; a memory; and an electronic control module. The electronic control module may be configured to obtain information identifying a previous amount of wear of the piston ring and information identifying an initial dimension of a coating of the piston ring; determine a piston ring wear rate based on a cylinder pressure associated with the piston; determine an amount of time between a current time and a time when the previous wear of the piston ring was calculated; calculate a current amount of wear of the piston ring based on the previous amount of wear of the piston ring, the amount of time, and the piston ring wear rate; calculate an amount of damage to the piston ring based on the current amount of wear and the initial dimension; and take a remedial action when the amount of damage exceeds a threshold.
