Possible observations are selected to be the torques and pressures, , and the angular velocities and flows, . Other measurement points are derivatives of these. From the temporal causal graph (Fig. 9) it can be seen that n and have similar temporal effects, i.e., they are not separated by integrating effects. To distinguish between failure of these two parameters the difference in angular velocity of the driving motor and the rotating pump, , is added to the set of possible measurements. Finally, observations that are presently available in the secondary cooling system, indicated by the boxed variables in Fig. 7, show the pressure generated by the centrifugal pump, , combined with the intake pressure, , as an additional observation, . Adding this measurement to the set of possible observations results in a completely diagnosable system for all possible single faults (Table 2). When predictions are considered to the order sets of 5 observations can be used. If predictions are considered till the order 7 observations are required. Note that is never used.
