Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd – Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System Services | Marine Engine Safety & Worldwide Technical Support
The Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System is a highly advanced Analogue Addressable Oil Mist Detection (OMD) System engineered to deliver continuous crankcase monitoring for large marine diesel engines operating in demanding marine environments. Designed for the early detection of oil mist concentration, bearing overheating, lubrication failures, and developing mechanical faults, the MK6 system plays a vital role in preventing crankcase explosions, protecting critical engine components, minimizing unplanned vessel downtime, and enhancing overall engine reliability.
Featuring intelligent addressable detector technology, the system continuously monitors real-time oil mist density across multiple crankcase compartments, providing rapid alarm notifications and precise fault identification. Its advanced capabilities include multi-engine monitoring, LCD diagnostics, event logging, and seamless integration with Engine Alarm Systems, Alarm Monitoring Systems (AMS), and Ship Automation Systems, ensuring dependable engine protection while supporting IMO, SOLAS, and Classification Society requirements.
About the Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System
The Kidde Graviner MK6 is an intelligent analogue addressable Oil Mist Detection (OMD) System developed specifically for medium- and low-speed marine diesel engines. The system continuously analyses crankcase air for oil mist concentration and provides rapid warning of abnormal conditions before they develop into serious mechanical failures or crankcase explosions.
Designed for modern marine engine installations, the MK6 combines intelligent detector technology with a user-friendly control unit, delivering reliable monitoring, comprehensive diagnostics, and dependable performance under demanding marine operating conditions.
A single MK6 system is capable of monitoring:
- Up to 8 Marine Diesel Engines
- Up to 64 Intelligent Addressable Detector Heads
- Individual Crankcase Compartments
- Continuous Oil Mist Density Levels
- Real-Time Alarm & Fault Status
- Multiple Engine Monitoring from a Single Control Unit
This flexible architecture makes the MK6 suitable for vessels operating with multiple propulsion and auxiliary engines.
Central Control Unit
The MK6 Control Unit acts as the central monitoring and diagnostic interface for the complete Oil Mist Detection System.
It continuously communicates with every detector head and displays operating status, alarms, and diagnostic information through an easy-to-read LCD interface.
Control Unit Functions
- Continuous monitoring of up to 64 detector heads
- Monitoring of up to 8 marine engines
- Real-time alarm indication
- Individual detector identification
- Event logging
- Fault diagnostics
- System health monitoring
- User-friendly operator interface
- Alarm acknowledgement and reset functions
- Communication with vessel monitoring systems
Intelligent Addressable Detector Technology
One of the key advantages of the Kidde Graviner MK6 is its use of intelligent analogue addressable detector heads.
Each detector head is assigned a unique electronic address and installed directly on an individual crankcase compartment. The detector continuously samples crankcase air using optical sensing technology to measure oil mist concentration and transmits analogue data to the MK6 control unit.
Unlike conventional systems, the addressable design enables engineers to immediately identify the exact crankcase compartment where abnormal oil mist levels or detector faults are detected.
Detector Head Features
- Individual electronic addressing
- Continuous crankcase air sampling
- Optical oil mist detection technology
- High sensitivity for early fault detection
- Real-time analogue communication
- Automatic detector diagnostics
- Sensor contamination monitoring
- Reliable operation in harsh marine environments
