Large reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICEs) are widely employed in many industries to generate electricity or drive mechanical equipment—propeller shafts and pumps, for instance. The working principle of these engines is the same as traditional automotive combustion engines, but on a much larger scale. Here, we discuss RICE condition monitoring techniques and the uses of borescopes, along with best practice guidelines and troubleshooting tips to get the most out of these types of inspections.
