An Expert System Based on Multi-Source Signal Integration for Reciprocating Compressor
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: In refining, pipeline, and metallurgical enterprises, reciprocating compressor fault diagnosis is hard work and requires a high level of expertise; only a few experts have the ability to do the work. This paper describes an expert system (ES), which is designed to apply a composite diagnosis main structure based on multi-source signal integration for reciprocating compressor, for reciprocating compressor fault diagnosis. For automatically diagnosing 39 faults of the reciprocating compressor and other auxiliary system, the ES includes 67 facts and over 400 rules. The ES has been developed as part of an on-line monitoring system that has been used in various factories and successfully diagnosed many realistic faults.
