Summary: | There is provided a method and system for diagnosing a condition of an aircraft engine. The method comprises obtaining a sample of lubricating fluid from the engine, filtering the sample to obtain a plurality of particles from the lubricating fluid, directing an excitation beam towards the particles, detecting an energy level emitted from the particles in response to the excitation beam, determining a level of coking in the lubricating fluid based on a difference between the energy level as detected and an expected energy level, and diagnosing a condition of the engine based on the level of coking in the lubricating fluid. |
