Kidde Graviner MK6
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System (OMD) is designed for continuous monitoring of oil mist conditions within marine diesel engine crankcases. With analogue addressable detection and individual detector identification, the system helps provide early warning of abnormal oil mist conditions and supports effective marine engine protection.
Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd provides professional Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System supply, technical support, inspection, calibration support, maintenance, troubleshooting, spare parts, replacement equipment, and marine service solutions for vessels, shipowners, ship managers, shipyards, and marine operators across the World.
High-Performance Marine Engine Monitoring
What is the Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System?
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System is a marine Crankcase Oil Mist Detection (OMD) system designed to continuously monitor individual engine crankcase compartments.
The system uses addressable detector heads to identify oil mist conditions at specific monitoring points, allowing engineers to locate abnormal conditions quickly and take corrective action before serious engine damage occurs.
The MK6 system is suitable for monitoring:
- Main propulsion diesel engines
- Auxiliary engines
- Generator engines
- Multiple crankcase compartments
- Marine and offshore engine installations
- Engine bearing and machinery spaces
Analogue Addressable Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection Technology
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System uses analogue addressable technology to provide continuous monitoring of individual engine crankcase compartments. Each detector head communicates with the central control unit, allowing the system to monitor oil mist conditions at specific locations throughout the engine.
The addressable architecture enables the Kidde Graviner MK6 OMD to identify individual detector locations and provide detailed alarm or fault information. This makes the system suitable for large marine diesel engines where accurate identification of the affected crankcase compartment is important for inspection and troubleshooting.
Continuous Crankcase Oil Mist Monitoring
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detector continuously monitors the atmosphere within engine crankcase compartments for changes in oil mist concentration. Continuous monitoring allows abnormal conditions to be identified at an early stage rather than relying only on periodic engine inspections.
By continuously observing crankcase conditions, the marine oil mist detection system helps provide early warning when oil mist levels increase abnormally. This supports engine-room personnel in investigating potential mechanical problems and taking appropriate corrective action before the condition develops further.
Individual Detector Head Identification and Monitoring
Each detector head within the Kidde Graviner MK6 OMD system is individually identified by the control unit. This allows the system to associate an alarm, warning, or detector fault with the relevant monitoring location or crankcase compartment.
Individual detector identification is particularly useful for marine engine troubleshooting and maintenance, as engineers can quickly determine which area requires inspection. This reduces diagnostic time and helps maintenance teams focus their investigation on the specific engine compartment reporting the abnormal condition.

Multi-Engine and Multi-Compartment Monitoring Capability
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System is designed for marine installations where multiple engine compartments require centralized monitoring. Its architecture allows oil mist detector heads to be distributed across the required crankcase monitoring points and connected to the central monitoring system.
This makes the Graviner MK6 OMD suitable for applications involving main propulsion engines, auxiliary engines, generator engines, and other marine diesel engine installations. Centralized monitoring also provides engineers with a convenient way to observe detector status and respond to alarms from the engine-room control location.
