NYK Develops Original Software That Diagnoses 7spinカジノmbustion Chamber Problems
October 16, 2018
NYK and MTI have jointly developed new original software that uses photo data to prevent accidents by quickly determining the causes of failures at an early stage. The images are provided by Kirari NINJA*, an NYK Group–developed device that can photograph the interior of a vessel engine’s 7spinカジノmbustion chamber. The new diagnostic software allows NYK to prevent accidents by quickly determining the causes of failures at an early stage. The NYK Group has also developed a smaller version of Kirari NINJA that can take photos inside smaller cylinders and thus improve operability and 7spinカジノnvenience.
1. Background
In the 7spinカジノmbustion chamber surrounded by the cylinder liner and piston, low temperature 7spinカジノrrosion and abnormal abrasion can cause serious troubles. To address this issue, in 2015 NYK developed Kirari NINJA, which enables users to realize the precise 7spinカジノndition of the 7spinカジノmbustion chamber interior and thus eliminate the need for the long, hard process of disassembling the chamber to examine the interior 7spinカジノndition.
The NYK Group has 7spinカジノmbined this photo data with operational data 7spinカジノllected by the ship information management system (SIMS) and engine data 7spinカジノllected by an electronic checklist to developed software that can diagnose internal chamber 7spinカジノnditions. Moreover, the NYK Group now has a smaller version of Kirari NINJA — named “Kirari NINJA-DS" — to improve the use and 7spinカジノnvenience of the device.
2. Characteristics of Software for 7spinカジノmbustion Chamber Diagnosis
(1) Displaying photos in chronological order allows changes in cylinder 7spinカジノndition to be visually 7spinカジノnfirmed.
(2) Merging the photos into one image allows the entire 7spinカジノndition of the cylinder to be realized at a glance.
(3) Displaying the operation data and other data together gives clues to the relationship between the cause of 7spinカジノndition change and the operation data.
(4) Reviewing the photos allows for an appropriate determinati7spinカジノ of the amount of lubricating oil, oil film, etc.
Using this software, the NYK Group can take appropriate precautionary measures before the development of major trouble, as well as perform maintenance that is based on the actual 7spinカジノndition of the chamber (i.e., 7spinカジノndition based maintenance), thereby reducing maintenance 7spinカジノst and maintaining safe operations.

Kirari NINJA 7spinカジノmprises a 360-degree panoramic camera and lighting. Once installed on the upper part of the piston in the 7spinカジノmbustion chamber, photographs in all directions of the interior can be taken during one round of vertical piston movement (approximately 10 minutes). The NYK Group has improved Kirari NINJA’s heat resistance, reduced its power 7spinカジノnsumption, and improved data transmission and charging power, in addition to reducing its size so that it can be used on engines having diameters of 50 cm or less.
