Patent ID: 11047833

Abstract:
A method for automatic determination of trends in the graphic analysis of turbomachinery, characterized by understanding the steps of: a) obtaining valid data from sensors installed on the turbomachinery for analysis; b) applying fourth order polynomial regression and evaluating its correlation with the sample; c) calculating the relative variation between the first and last points of the series; d) assessing whether the levels of relative variation and relative correlation exceed a previously pre-established minimum level; d1) displaying a non-existent trend result, if the relative variation or the relative correlation does not exceed the minimum level previously established; e) calculating the trend using the weighted average calculations; f) calculating and classifying the rate of change between consecutive values in the valid data series; g) determining parameters for the rate of change; h) checking if the rate of change parameters meet trend criteria, where: h1) if the rate of change parameters meet trend criteria, checking if the relative change is positive, where: h11) if the change relative is positive, displays a positive trend result; and h12) if the relative variation is negative, displays a negative trend result, h2) if the rate of change parameters do not meet trend criteria, checking if the relative variation is positive, where: h21) if the relative variation is negative, shows a result that there is a negative threshold change; and h22) if the relative variation is positive, displays a result that there is a positive threshold change, i) informing the results obtained; and j) taking corrective actions.
