47 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ELECTRIC POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OVERHEATING WITH REAL-TIME PLURAL PARALLEL DETECTION AND ANALYSIS PARAMETERS US13463865 2012-05-04 US20130297249A1 2013-11-07 Edward D. Thompson
An overheating detection processing system monitors in real time and stores data samples from the different types of power plant overheating detectors. The system determines a likelihood of whether a stored detector output sample reading, alone or in combination with other readings, is indicative of monitored power plant equipment overheating. The system references previously stored information in an information storage device that associates respective types of detector sample reading levels with equipment overheating. The system also compares a combination of stored sample readings and establishes overheating determination confidence levels. The confidence levels information is combined to derive an overall confidence level of whether the power plant equipment is overheated. An overheating alarm response is initiated if an overheating condition is determined at any confidence level. Additional responses are made based on a combination of calculated confidence levels.

A piston engine (1) that can be driven using a steam power process and is used in particular for utilizing the waste heat from an internal combustion engine comprises a cylinder bore (5), a cylinder piston (6) which is arranged in the cylinder bore (5) and delimits an operating space (8) in the cylinder bore (5), a rod (21) which is connected to the cylinder piston (6), and a bearing point (37) on which the rod (21) and the cylinder piston (6) connected to the rod (21) are mounted. A peripheral gap (28) is predefined between the cylinder piston (6) and the cylinder bore (5), thus preventing frictional wear between the cylinder piston (6) and the cylinder bore (5), which is particularly advantageous when a water-based working fluid is conducted through the operating space (8) since steam has no lubricity.
