A review of methods on Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis using IR Thermography–An Expert System approach

Abstract

Condition Monitoring is a process of checking faults in machinery. The main goal of Condition Monitoring is to check the health of critical components of machines and systems. In real situations during operation of machines decisions to be taken on maintenance are considered based on the condition. It has the benefits such as decreasing catastrophic failures, minimize the maintenance, operational and logistical cost, maximize the system security, availability and increasing the reliability. Different researchers use different methods for fault diagnosis. Every method has its own shortcomings. In this paper a study has been done on the Expert system to do condition monitoring and fault diagnosis using IR Thermography.

A Review on the Effect of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles on Tribological Properties of Biolubricants

“…49 The infrared thermography technique is used to address dry frictional areas leading to overheating of the mating component which eventually results in component failure, creating a safety hazard hindering productivity. 50 2.2.4. Ultrasonic Technique.…”

“…It does not require any direct contact and so ended in a harmless and economical process of condition monitoring. , This method of condition monitoring is proved to be sensitive, noncontact, nonintrusive, and stable to various faults . The infrared thermography technique is used to address dry frictional areas leading to overheating of the mating component which eventually results in component failure, creating a safety hazard hindering productivity …”

Innovations in Building Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review of Infrared Thermography Applications

“…Condition monitoring refers to the practice of overseeing the state of machinery and operations. The primary objective of condition monitoring is to prevent unforeseen breakdowns, enhance plant accessibility, and minimize potential risks [48,[91][92][93][94]. This approach facilitates the identification of issues prior to significant machinery or component failures.…”
