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. |

1. A system for monitoring a health of one or more seals, the system comprising:
a flow control valve located upstream of the seal 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 seal; and a controller communicably coupled to the flow control valve, the controller configured to:
receive a position of the flow control valve; anddetermine the health of the seal 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. |
