These sub-tanks and attached tank-accessories affect each other, and make fault diagnosis in such systems rather difficult. Without real measured data, this paper analyzes fault modes and fault effects of the fuel tank system, including its tankaccessories, of a given aircraft. Fault model of the system is built theoretically, and fault diagnosis criteria are deduced. Such criteria are then quantified to train a back propagation neural network(BPNN) as fault diagnosis model. To realize fault diagnosis of the real fuel tank system, a real-time fault diagnosis platform based on Lab View and Vx Works to perform this diagnosis method is discussed. This platform is a technical groundwork for fault diagnosis in real fuel tank systems.展开更多

The monitored ten pumps are distributed on the past three petroleum platforms of the CACT (C: China offshove Southern; A: Agip; C: Chivron; T: Texaco) Operation Group in the Huizhou oil field. By the periodical vibration survey in recent three years, the typical faults and the vibration features of these pumps have been summarized, which set up the basis for efficient predictive maintenance of this key equipment offshore.展开更多
