What is a spark plug?

Ignites the mixture at the correct crank angle; replacement interval typically every 4,000 operating hours — worn spark plugs cause misfires, increased exhaust temperatures and power losses.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Misfires as an indicator of wear or defect
  • Increase in exhaust temperature (reference value: 506 °C) as a sign of incomplete combustion
  • Fluctuations in ignition timing to identify electrode erosion
  • Power loss of the CHP unit due to incomplete mixture combustion
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: a gradual drop in oil pressure or a drifting temperature remains below the alarm threshold until the emergency shutdown occurs — at the worst possible moment. The AI: detects the deviation from normal operation early and reports it before the protection trips. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Early detection of ignition faults prevents thermal overloads and minimises unplanned downtime. Monitoring of spark plug parameters enables precise prediction of the replacement interval (typically 4,000 operating hours). This ensures the stability of exhaust temperatures and maintains the target efficiency of the CHP unit. electrical power (kW) · input gas power (kW) → — % elec. efficiency Calculation: electrical power ÷ gas power × 100
