ABSTRACT:
A system for indicating the presence of fuel penalties brought on by inefficient power plant components or degradation in performance of components. The system is adapted for use especially in marine applications and includes strategically located continuous operating sensors, the information from which is sampled and analyzed to produce an output representative of the plant efficiency at that moment. The outputs include indications of fuel use per hour, fuel consumption per distance traveled, and power plant efficiency. A plurality of secondary inputs are provided giving indications of the plant operating pressures, temperatures, etc. When a fuel penalty is indicated, the secondary inputs are evaluated to determine any significant change in output levels thus giving evidence as to the location of the source of the fuel penalty.
