You can precisely align the edge by measuring the voltage from the Keyphasor probe-proximitor combination when the probe is located over the notch, and then when it is over the protrusion. Rotate the wheel to obtain the minimum negative Keyphasor voltage over the protrusion and record this value. 5. Rotate the wheel to obtain the maximum negative Keyphasor voltage over the notch and record this value. Average the two voltage values to get the precise edge value.

A typical indicated cylinder pressure curve will have some pressure fluctuation when the suction and discharge valves are opened. The areas labelled A and indicated by braces show these pressure fluctuations. When the valves are closed, the pressure shows a smooth line. A pressure transducer installation suffering from channel resonance will show pressure fluctuations when the suction and discharge valves are closed as well as when the valves are opened. The frequency of this resonance remains nominally constant throughout the cycle.

Leak to Low Pressure Reservoir (crank end shown, head end similar)
Supporting Evidence Is flow balance greater than 1.05? Does the trend of a particular suction valve temperature indicate a rise compared to the other suction valve covers? Does valve cover acceleration/ultrasonic show high amplitude when suction valves are closed? Supporting Evidence

Is flow balance less than 0.95? Does the trend of a discharge valve temperature indicate a rise compared to the other discharge valve covers? Does valve cover acceleration/ultrasonic show high amplitude when discharge vavles are closed?
Is flow balance on both chambers greater than 1.05? Is discharge temperature elevated compared to adiabatic discharge temperature? Does acceleration/ultrasonic show high amplitudes when chamber pressures different and low amplitudes when chamber pressures are equal?
