Continuous Monitoring for Large Diesel Engines
What is a Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detection System?
The Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detection System is a specialized crankcase oil mist detection system used to monitor large marine and industrial engines. Oil mist can develop inside an engine crankcase due to conditions such as excessive friction, bearing overheating, lubrication problems, or mechanical component damage.
The VISATRON system continuously monitors the crankcase atmosphere and detects changes in oil mist concentration. When an abnormal condition is detected, the system provides an alarm to alert engine-room personnel so that the condition can be investigated according to the vessel’s safety procedures.
A reliable marine oil mist detector is therefore an important component of engine safety and condition monitoring for large propulsion and auxiliary engines.
