| 发明名称 | System for monitoring health of a seal | ||
| 摘要 | A system for monitoring a health of one or more seals includes a flow control valve, and a controller. The flow control valve is located upstream of the seal and disposed in fluid communication therewith. The flow control valve is configured to maintain a pre-determined fluid pressure between the flow control valve and the seal. The controller is communicably coupled to the flow control valve. The controller is configured to receive a position of the flow control valve, and determine the health of the seal based on the received position of the flow control valve. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A system for monitoring a health of one or more seals, the system comprising: a flow control valve located upstream of the one or more seals and disposed in fluid communication therewith, the flow control valve configured to maintain a pre-determined fluid pressure between the flow control valve and the one or more seals; and a controller communicably coupled to the flow control valve, the controller configured to: receive a position of the flow control valve; and determine the health of the one or more seals by comparing the received position of the flow control valve with a historical position of the flow control valve corresponding to the pre-determined fluid pressure. | ||
