Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2072762A1] The method involves comparing a difference between values of turbomachines i.e. turbojet engines, of an aircraft i.e. civil aircraft, with a reference value in identical conditions, for detecting abnormal consumption of oil. Several parasite effects influencing an oil level in a reservoir of a lubricating system are considered for obtaining modification of the oil level due to reduction of total quantity of the oil available from the effects, where the effects are related to thermal expansion in the reservoir, gulping of oil and attitude and acceleration of the aircraft. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computing system for calculating consumption and autonomy of oil comprising a memory (2) a computer program comprising instructions to perform a method for calculating consumption and autonomy of oil.
