MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050559 A) filed by Easwari Engineeging College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'system and method for real-time detection and localization of air and exhaust leaks in diesel engines using physics-informed analytics and on-board sensor data.'
Inventor(s) include Duranjai V; Kailas Dev R R; Balasubramaniyam S; Suriya Prakash S; Dr. Justin Dhas Y; and Mr. Ilamurugan G.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for real-time detection and localization of air and exhaust leaks in diesel engines using existing test cell sensor data. The system performs multi-dimensional analysis of engine parameters, including airflow, pressure, temperature, and turbocharger characteristics under steady-state conditions. Sensor data is pre-processed and analysed using physics-based models to estimate expected operating behaviour, and residual deviations are computed for anomaly identification. A machine learning module evaluates these residuals to detect anomalies and classify leak presence, severity, and location across intake, charge-air, and exhaust subsystems. A decision engine generates structured outputs including leak flags, confidence scores, and recommended corrective actions, enabling continuous, non-invasive monitoring and improved testing efficiency."
