Abstract:
In one or more embodiments, a system for predicting health of a hydraulic pump comprises a reservoir tank temperature sensor to measure a temperature of a reservoir tank. The system further comprises a hydraulic pump temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the hydraulic pump. Also, the system comprises a differential pressure sensor to measure a differential pressure across a filter associated with the hydraulic pump. Further, the system comprises a processor(s) to determine a differential temperature by subtracting the temperature of the reservoir tank from the temperature of the hydraulic pump, to compare the differential temperature to a differential temperature threshold, to compare the differential pressure to a differential pressure threshold, and to generate an alert signal indicating failure of the hydraulic pump, when the processor(s) determines that the differential temperature exceeds the differential temperature threshold and the differential pressure exceeds the differential pressure threshold.
