In an enterprise with dozens of engines, chaotic repairs after a breakdown are expensive. Let's look at how to organize maintenance of an engine fleet systematically.
Elements of the maintenance system
- Accounting. Journal with the history of each engine.
- Routine diagnostics Regular measurements of insulation, vibration.
- Reserve fund. Replacement engines for critical ones equipment.
- Planning.Repairs based on condition, not based on the fact of an accident.
Predictive maintenance
The modern approach is condition-based maintenance. Regular diagnostics (insulation, vibration, thermal imager) allows you to notice the problem in advance and repair the engine before an emergency stop.
| Approach | Result |
|---|---|
| Emergency (by fact) | Sudden downtime, urgent surcharges |
| Planned/predictive | Predictable costs, minimum downtime |
Benefits
- Reduced emergency stops.
- Predictable repair costs.
- Life extension engines.
- No extra charges for urgency.
For critical equipment, the reserve fund and predictive diagnostics pay for themselves due to eliminated downtime. Repair according to the condition with high-quality rewinding returns the resource.
