VISATRON OIL MIST DETECTOR 215 87 EMC MARINE ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL MIST DETECTION SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The VISATRON Oil Mist Detector 215/87 EMC is one of the most widely recognized crankcase oil mist monitoring systems used onboard marine diesel engines. Designed to continuously monitor oil mist concentration inside engine crankcases, the system plays a critical role in preventing dangerous crankcase explosions and protecting valuable propulsion and auxiliary engine equipment.

Based on the equipment shown in the supplied image, the units are identified as VISATRON Oil Mist Detector 215/87 EMC, a proven marine safety monitoring solution installed on thousands of vessels worldwide.

Modern marine diesel engines operate under high temperatures and pressures. In the event of bearing damage, overheating, lubrication failure, or abnormal friction, oil mist concentration inside the crankcase can increase rapidly. If not detected in time, this condition may lead to a crankcase explosion capable of causing severe engine damage and safety hazards.

The VISATRON 215/87 EMC continuously samples air from engine crankcase compartments and measures oil mist concentration levels. When abnormal conditions are detected, alarms are generated immediately, allowing engineers to take corrective action before dangerous situations develop.

For ship owners, technical managers, chief engineers, and classification societies, oil mist detection systems are considered essential safety equipment for medium-speed and large marine diesel engines.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The VISATRON 215/87 EMC operates by continuously drawing air samples from multiple crankcase compartments through a network of sampling lines.

The sampled air is transported to the detector where optical measurement technology analyzes oil mist concentration levels. The measured values are compared against preset alarm limits.

When oil mist concentration exceeds the configured threshold, the detector activates visual and audible alarms and transmits alarm signals to the engine monitoring system.

The system provides early warning of:

• Bearing Overheating
• Lubrication Failure
• Piston Seizure Conditions
• Crankcase Hot Spots
• Abnormal Mechanical Friction
• Engine Internal Damage

The VISATRON system is widely installed on:

• Main Propulsion Engines
• Auxiliary Diesel Generators
• Medium-Speed Diesel Engines
• Power Plant Engines
• Offshore Power Units
• Industrial Diesel Engines

Its proven reliability and compliance with marine safety requirements have made it a trusted choice throughout the global marine industry.
