Chapter 9 Time Recorder Application
• On a ship propulsion system, which uses large amounts of fuel, you can
start the time recorder, run the ship up to full speed, run five minutes at
full speed, and then coast-down. The measurement analysis is performed
on the recorded vibration signal without spending hours of gas turbine
drive time collecting data and resulting fuel consumption.
