Abstract
A wash optimization system and related methods are provided that increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of engine washes. A system comprising at least one processor receives sensor data representing one or more measured parameters of a turbine engine and determines at least one performance parameter based on the sensor data. The at least one performance parameter represents at least one of a condition or performance associated with the turbine engine. The system generates a health state for the turbine engine based on the at least one performance parameter and generates a wash identifier based on the health state of the turbine engine.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising at least one processor, sensor data representing one or more measured parameters of a turbine engine;
- determining, by the system, at least one performance parameter based on the sensor data, the at least one performance parameter representing at least one of a condition or performance associated with the turbine engine;
- generating, by the system, a health state for the turbine engine based on the at least one performance parameter;
- and
- generating, by the system, a wash identifier based on the health state of the turbine engine.
A computing device, comprising:
- one or more storage devices comprising processor readable code;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the one or more storage devices, the one or more processors execute the processor readable code to:
- receive sensor data representing one or more measured engine parameters of a turbine engine;
- generate at least one engine performance parameter based on the sensor data;
- determine an accumulated health value for the turbine engine based on accumulating a plurality of instances of the at least one engine performance parameter;
- and
- generate a wash identifier based on the accumulated health value.
A system, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data representing one or more engine parameters of a turbine engine;
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors;
- generate at least one performance parameter based on the sensor data, the at least one performance parameter representing a measured condition or performance of the turbine engine;
- determine a health state associated with the turbine engine based on the at least one engine performance parameter;
- and
- generate a wash identifier based on the health state of the turbine engine.
