From our Singapore base, our marine engineering team supports vessels throughout Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and other major maritime locations.
Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd – Advanced Kidde Graviner MK6 Support for Reliable Marine Engine Operation
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System is an analogue addressable OMD system developed for continuous crankcase monitoring on medium- and low-speed marine diesel engines.
By continuously monitoring oil mist conditions within individual crankcase compartments, the MK6 can provide early indication of abnormal conditions associated with bearing overheating, lubrication problems, excessive friction, and developing mechanical faults.
The system combines intelligent detector technology with centralized monitoring and diagnostic functions to help operators identify abnormal conditions quickly, support preventive action, and reduce the risk of severe engine damage or crankcase-related incidents.
With multi-engine monitoring capability, individual detector identification, LCD-based system information, event recording, and vessel automation integration, the MK6 provides a comprehensive approach to marine engine safety monitoring.
Kidde Graviner MK6 – Engine Monitoring at Every Crankcase
The Kidde Graviner MK6 is designed to provide continuous oil mist surveillance across multiple crankcase compartments.
Intelligent addressable detector heads are installed at designated monitoring locations and communicate with the central control unit. This arrangement enables the system to identify individual detector locations and provide clear alarm and fault information to the vessel crew.
A single MK6 installation can monitor:
- Up to 8 Marine Diesel Engines
- Up to 64 Intelligent Addressable Detector Heads
- Individual Crankcase Compartments
- Continuous Oil Mist Concentration
- Real-Time Alarm Conditions
- Detector and System Fault Status
- Multiple Engines Through One Central Control Unit
This flexible configuration makes the MK6 suitable for vessels with multiple main and auxiliary engines requiring centralized oil mist monitoring.
Key System Capabilities
The Graviner MK6 combines continuous monitoring with intelligent diagnostics and centralized alarm management to provide dependable protection for marine diesel engines.
System Highlights
- Analogue addressable oil mist detection
- Continuous crankcase monitoring
- Up to 8 engine monitoring capability
- Up to 64 detector heads
- Individual detector identification
- Real-time oil mist monitoring
- Early warning of abnormal crankcase conditions
- Intelligent detector diagnostics
- LCD operator interface
- Alarm and fault indication
- Event history recording
- Multi-engine monitoring
- Marine automation integration
- Designed for medium- and low-speed diesel engines
MK6 Central Monitoring & Control Unit
The central control unit provides the main operating and diagnostic interface for the complete oil mist detection system.
Information received from the individual detector heads is processed and presented to the operator, allowing the crew to monitor system condition, alarms, detector status, and diagnostic information from a centralized location.
Main Control Functions
- Monitoring of up to 64 detector heads
- Monitoring of up to 8 engines
- Individual detector identification
- Oil mist alarm indication
- System fault indication
- Real-time status monitoring
- Event history recording
- Fault diagnostics
- Alarm acknowledgement
- Alarm reset functions
- Vessel monitoring system interface
Smart Addressable Detector Heads
The intelligent addressable detector head is a key component of the Graviner MK6 system.
Each detector is associated with a specific crankcase monitoring location. The detector continuously samples crankcase air and uses optical sensing technology to identify changes in oil mist concentration.
Because each detector has its own address, the system can provide more precise information regarding the location of an alarm or detector fault.
Detector Head Capabilities
- Individual electronic addressing
- Continuous crankcase air sampling
- Optical oil mist sensing
- High-sensitivity monitoring
- Analogue communication
- Automatic detector diagnostics
- Detector condition monitoring
- Individual alarm identification
- Marine-duty construction
