OIL MIST DETECTOR ADVANTAGES
Following the mandatory SOLAS regulations for fire precaution, classification societies to be the number one choice for oil mist detection systems to be the number one choice for monitoring as part of the safety system required for marine engines with power in access of 2,250kW, and / or a cylinder bore of more than 300mm. This is because generic sensors measuring temperature and pressure are not sufficiently effective to guarantee the required operating safety, as they do not monitor a number of lubricated sliding surfaces.
Surfaces that can generate intensive oil mist in addition to the crankshaft bearing system include:
- Pistons in cylinder liners
- Crankshaft bearings such as main bearings and big-end bearings
- Camshafts, their bearings and cams
- Timing gear shafts and their bearings
- Gear boxes with their bearings, and in some cases pumps
- Guide blocks and paths in cross-head engines
