Example RCM Analysis of a Low-Speed Diesel Engine

This chapter provides an example RCM analysis for selected portions of a propulsion low-speed diesel engine. The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the RCM analysis process outlined in Chap.  7 . Please note that this chapter does not include RCM analysis data for the entire engine, nor does it contain all of the information that should be provided in a complete RCM analysis report. Specifically, this chapter includes excerpts of the RCM analysis sections for the basic engine, the governor system and the camshaft lubrication system.
