A method is shown of predicting failure of resistive element heaters using a compiled database of measured ratio--metric factors affecting heater life. The method can either be carried out actively, by continuously measuring known factors affecting heater life and decrementing a count of the remaining heater life, or the method may be carried out passively by estimating the operating profile and the averages within each segment of the profile, of the factors affecting heater life.

L'invention concerne un procédé de prévision de la défaillance de filaments d'éléments résistants à l'aide d'une base de données de facteurs quotientomètriques mesurés qui affectent la durée de vie d'un filament. On peut réaliser ce procédé soit activement en mesurant de manière continue des facteurs connus qui affectent la durée de vie du filament et en enlevant une valeur calculée de la durée de vie restante du filament, soit passivement en évaluant le profil de fonctionnement et les moyennes à l'intérieur de chaque segment du profil ou des facteurs affectant la durée de vie du filament.
