Abstract: A system for monitoring the performance of a fluid heat exchanger for use with an engine includes a heat exchanger having a first fluid flow path therethrough and a second fluid flow path therethrough, a first temperature sensor positioned in the first fluid flow path at an exit from the heat exchanger, a second temperature sensor positioned in the second fluid flow path at an entry to the heat exchanger, a processor and an alert generator. The processor is adapted to receive a first temperature measurement value from the first temperature sensor, and a second temperature measurement value from the second temperature sensor, the processor being further adapted to calculate a temperature difference between the first and second temperature measurement values. The alert generator is adapted to generate an alert signal to a user, the alert signal being generated if the temperature difference is greater than a threshold value.
