Oil Mist Detector
Schaller Automation GmbH & Co. KG
New product
The VISATRON VN115/87 Plus Oil Mist Detector is one of the most widely used crankcase safety monitoring systems installed onboard commercial vessels worldwide. Manufactured by Schaller Automation, the system continuously monitors oil mist concentration inside diesel engine crankcases and provides early warning of potentially dangerous operating conditions.
Crankcase explosions remain one of the most serious risks associated with large marine diesel engines. Excessive oil mist concentration caused by overheating bearings, lubrication failures, or mechanical damage can create explosive conditions inside the crankcase. The VISATRON VN115/87 Plus is specifically designed to detect these conditions before they become critical.
For ship owners, chief engineers, technical superintendents, and marine operators, the VISATRON system provides a reliable layer of protection that helps safeguard personnel, machinery, and vessel operations while supporting compliance with marine classification society requirements.
The VISATRON VN115/87 Plus operates by continuously sampling air from multiple crankcase compartments and measuring the concentration of oil mist particles suspended within the air.
The system compares measured values against preset alarm thresholds. If abnormal oil mist concentrations are detected, the unit activates visual and audible alarms, allowing engine room personnel to take corrective action before severe damage or explosion risks develop.
The VN115/87 Plus has become a preferred solution throughout the marine industry due to its reliability, advanced monitoring capabilities, and compatibility with medium-speed and low-speed marine diesel engines.
Typical installations include:
The system is approved and accepted by major marine classification societies and engine manufacturers worldwide.
The VISATRON VN115/87 Plus continuously measures oil mist concentration within engine crankcases, ensuring uninterrupted protection during vessel operation.
The system provides early detection of abnormal conditions, allowing engineers to intervene before severe machinery damage occurs.
By detecting dangerous oil mist levels, the system significantly reduces the risk of crankcase explosions and catastrophic engine failures.
The detector can monitor multiple crankcase compartments through an integrated sampling arrangement, ensuring comprehensive engine protection.
The measuring head incorporates highly accurate optical sensing technology designed for reliable operation in demanding marine environments.
The system supports compliance with major marine safety regulations and classification society requirements for crankcase protection.
The VISATRON VN115/87 Plus has earned a strong reputation throughout the marine industry due to its dependable long-term performance.
