Advanced Analogue Addressable Oil Mist Detection for Marine Diesel Engines
Continuous oil mist monitoring is an essential safety measure because excessive oil mist within a crankcase can create an explosive atmosphere. The MK6 system provides rapid detection of abnormal oil mist concentrations, enabling engine operators to investigate and take corrective action before hazardous conditions develop.
Compliance
Oil mist detection systems are required on many marine diesel engines in accordance with applicable requirements of:
• IMO SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea)
• IACS Unified Requirements (as adopted by classification societies)
• Vessel classification society rules (such as Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, RINA, and others, depending on the vessel)The Kidde Graviner MK6 is intended for installations where compliance with applicable class requirements is required. Final acceptance depends on the vessel’s classification society, engine manufacturer, and approved installation.
