Description

The Pump Contamination Sensitive Expert System (PCSEX) introduced in this paper is a new package being developed as a complementing technique to present wear test procedures for determining the contaminant tolerance of hydraulic control system pumps. Present wear-test examination of a pump's contaminant tolerance requires special testing facilities and follows a complicated and tedious procedure which is expensive and time consuming work. PCSEX is based on knowledge integration of a large amount of data from previous testing, and expertise acquired from previous experience. It also integrates the defined model or formula associated with a user's particular system structure, and some equations available in research reports. PCSEX has been developed using GURU, an expert system development environment which supports a broad range of integrated knowledge processing capabilities, and allows the production of intelligent application systems.
