    2.1 Detect the main failures, implement the main detection modes

    The main technical faults encountered during the operation of an energy plant can be summarized as follows.

    • Clogged equipment: clogged heat exchangers, air, oil or fuel filters leading to excessive consumption and premature wear.

    • Fluid circuit leakage: generating internal or external leaks on equipment, or leaks on pipes often requiring plant shutdown.

    • Parasitic vibrations: generated by defective parts, they reduce the overall efficiency of equipment and warn of possible breakage of a mechanical part.

    • Wear parts: wear and tear on mechanical or electrical components, leading...
