  • Method of evaluating a part
    Patent number: 11334062
    Abstract: A method of evaluating a part is characterized by obtaining data representing a distress rank model (DRM) and a cumulative damage model (CDM) for the part. Based on the data, the method ascertains a DRM value for the part and a CDM value for the part. The method determines whether the DRM value is at or above a predetermined DRM threshold and whether a CDM value is at or above a predetermined CDM threshold. If either the DRM value or the CDM value is at or above at least one respective threshold, an action related to the part is generated.

  • CONTAMINATION ACCUMULATION MODELING
    Publication number: 20220144454
    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 one or more particulate values 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.

  • Engine Wash Analytics
    Publication number: 20190093505
    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.
