Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting a stuck plate valve of a gas engine. An accelerometer is mounted on or near the valve, such that the valve is operable to detect the closing and/or opening of the valve. A detection unit stores values representing the output of the accelerometer when the valve is operating normally. During operation of the engine, the detection unit receives current output from the accelerometer, and compares the current output with the stored values to determine whether the valve is operating normally.
