Injector diagnosis based on engine angular velocity pulse pattern recognition

In a modern diesel engine, a fuel injector is a vital component. The injectors control the fuel dosing into the combustion chambers. The accuracy in the fuel dosing is very important as inaccuracies have negative effects on engine out emissions and the controllability. Because of this, a diagnosis that can classify the conditions of the injectors with good accuracy is highly desired. A signal that contains information about the injectors condition, is the engine angular velocity. In this thesis, the classification performance of six common machine learning methods is evaluated. The input to the methods is the engine angular velocity. In addition to the classification performance, also the computational cost of the methods, in a deployed state, is analysed. The methods are evaluated on data from a Scania truck that has been run just like any similar commercial vehicle. The six methods evaluated are: logistic regression, kernel logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, fully connected neural networks and, convolutional neural networks. The results show that the neural networks achieve the best classification performance. Furthermore, the neural networks also achieve the best classification performance from a, in a deployed state, computational cost effectiveness perspective. Results also indicate that the neural networks can avoid false alarms and maintain high sensitivity.
