  • Patent number: 11808229
    Abstract: A reignition processing device for a gas engine for executing a reignition process of a cylinder during operation of a gas engine having multiple cylinders is provided with: an execution permission unit configured to, when at least one of the cylinders misfires, perform permission determination whether to execute the reignition process of the misfiring cylinder, on the basis of a damage diagnosis result based on an in-cylinder pressure of the misfiring cylinder, presence or absence of abnormality in a control device which performs combustion control and combustion diagnosis of the gas engine, an operational history related to the misfiring cylinder, and an operational state of the gas engine; and a reignition execution unit configured to execute the reignition process of the misfiring cylinder that is permitted by the permission determination to execute the reignition process.

  • Publication number: 20230046709
    Abstract: Provided is a prediction system that predicts whether a prescribed event will occur in a device, without being affected by differences among individual devices. The prediction system comprises: a data acquisition unit which acquires operation data representing the operation status of a device; a probability density estimation unit which estimates the probability density of the operation data; and an abnormality prediction unit which predicts whether an abnormality will occur in the device on the basis of the probability density estimation results of the operation data and a prediction model.

  • Patent number: 9638129
    Abstract: A controller for a gas engine includes a cycle detection unit 67 configured to detect a crank angle period of a single combustion cycle of an engine including a plurality of cylinders based on a crank angle detection value inputted from a crank angle detector 75, a misfire detection unit 69 configured to detect a misfire in a combustion chamber 37 based on an in-cylinder pressure detection value inputted from the in-cylinder pressure detector 59, and a simultaneous misfire determination unit 73 configured to determine a simultaneous misfire of more than one cylinder when a total number of cylinders where the misfire is detected in the single combustion cycle by the misfire detection unit 69 is not less than a preset threshold value of a cylinder number. The fuel gas to all of the cylinders is shut off when the simultaneous misfire of more than one cylinder in the single combustion cycle is determined by the simultaneous misfire determination unit 73.

  • Patent number: 9157409
    Abstract: In a control device 50A, an actual compression ratio calculation unit 502 calculates an actual compression ratio ? from an air supply pressure Ps, a cylinder pressure before ignition Pc and an air supply temperature Ts. A deposit deposition estimation unit 504 determines the deposit deposition state of a combustion chamber 18 from a deviation ?? between the actual compression ratio ? and a design compression ratio ??. When the deviation ?? exceeds a threshold value, ignition timing or air-fuel ratio being operation conditions of an internal combustion engine is corrected based on a correction map 508 so as to suppress deterioration of exhaust gas.
