Engine Failure Analysis

Intro

Henry Ford: Failure is an opportunity to start again, but smarter this time. Failure to collect and use the engine failure may cause it to fail again. If the information about the operating conditions at the time of engine failure is recorded and taken into account, the cause of the failure will be much easier. In the real world, the information that is going on after an engine fails is usually just that the engine is broken.

While almost anyone with a tool kit can take an engine apart and tell “what” is broken, “how” and “why” it is broken requires a much higher degree of intelligence and experience. To help you make smarter decisions, we’ve compiled the basics of engine failure analysis to speed up your development process.

Failure analysis:

There are parts inside the engine, which can easily provide us with the failure that occurred inside the engine. Spark plugs are a part of the engine that is available, which shows us if the spark plug inspection is a general failure or only in one part of the engine. If all the spark plugs are dry except for one that is soaked in oil, it indicates that something has happened in that cylinder. While sometimes by cutting the filter and checking the oil, we find out about the failure in the engine, but its location is unclear to us, it is only possible that the location of the failure in the bearing is known due to the presence of iron particles in the bearing, but which bearing It is not known whether it has been rotated and damaged.
Failure analysis and analysis using technical knowledge and Fish Bone Diagram tools, available data from past failures, engine technical documents, etc. are among the activities that have been carried out in Dinamotor Group for years.
