New product
The VAF ViscoSense® 3 is a highly accurate inline viscosity measurement system designed for continuous monitoring of fuel oil viscosity in marine and industrial applications. The equipment shown in the image consists of a ViscoSense® 3 sensor probe and interface box, which together form a complete viscosity measurement solution.
Maintaining the correct viscosity of heavy fuel oil is critical for efficient combustion, proper fuel atomization, injector protection, and engine performance. Modern marine diesel engines require fuel viscosity to remain within specific operational limits before entering the fuel injection system.
The VAF ViscoSense® 3 continuously measures fuel viscosity directly in the process line and transmits accurate real-time data to vessel automation systems, viscosity controllers, fuel conditioning units, and engine monitoring systems. This enables automatic adjustment of fuel heating systems to achieve the optimum viscosity required by engine manufacturers.
For ship owners, operators, and marine engineers, the ViscoSense® 3 helps improve fuel efficiency, reduce engine wear, lower maintenance costs, and ensure reliable propulsion performance.
The VAF ViscoSense® 3 is a process viscosity measurement instrument specifically developed for continuous inline monitoring. Unlike laboratory testing methods, the system measures viscosity directly inside the fuel line while the process remains operational.
The sensor is installed within the fuel circulation system where it continuously monitors the viscosity of the flowing fuel. The sensor signal is processed by the interface box and converted into standardized outputs suitable for vessel automation and control systems.
The ViscoSense® 3 is commonly installed in:
The system provides accurate measurement regardless of flow variations and is particularly effective for controlling fuel temperature in heavy fuel oil applications.
Commercially, the VAF ViscoSense® 3 remains one of the most recognized marine viscosity monitoring solutions used throughout the global shipping industry.
The ViscoSense® 3 measures viscosity directly within the fuel process line without interrupting normal operation. This allows continuous monitoring and improved process control.
The system provides reliable viscosity measurements necessary for maintaining optimal fuel conditions before fuel injection into marine engines.
Rapid measurement response allows fuel heating systems to react quickly to viscosity changes, maintaining stable engine operating conditions.
The ViscoSense® 3 is engineered for harsh marine environments where vibration, temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation are common.
By ensuring proper fuel viscosity, the system contributes to efficient fuel atomization and improved combustion performance.
Maintaining correct viscosity helps protect fuel pumps, injectors, and engine components from excessive wear.
The interface box supports integration with vessel automation systems, fuel treatment systems, alarm systems, and engine monitoring platforms.
