Schaller VISATRON® Oil Mist Detection Systems
Marine propulsion and power generation engines represent one of the most valuable assets onboard any vessel. Operating continuously under high thermal and mechanical loads, these engines require sophisticated condition monitoring systems capable of identifying developing faults before they escalate into catastrophic failures.
Schaller VISATRON® Oil Mist Detection Systems are internationally recognized as one of the most advanced crankcase protection solutions available for marine diesel, dual-fuel and gas engines. Designed and manufactured in Germany by Schaller Automation, VISATRON® systems continuously monitor crankcase oil mist concentration, providing early warning of abnormal thermal conditions caused by bearing distress, lubrication failure, excessive friction, or other developing mechanical defects.
By delivering rapid and reliable detection of abnormal oil mist generation, VISATRON® enables engineering personnel to investigate machinery conditions before they develop into crankcase explosions, extensive engine damage, or prolonged vessel downtime.
