Marine Oil Mist Detector (OMD)
Main Engine Crankcase Protection, Auxiliary Engine Protection, Engine Safety Monitoring System
The DECKMA OMD-2008 Oil Mist Detector is one of the world's most trusted crankcase protection systems for marine diesel engines. It continuously monitors oil mist concentration inside each crankcase compartment and provides early warning of abnormal conditions that could lead to overheating, bearing failure, or dangerous crankcase explosions.
The system combines an intelligent control unit, optical oil mist measurement technology, sampling valves, alarm outputs, and automatic sequential scanning to detect abnormal oil mist levels before severe engine damage occurs. When oil mist exceeds preset alarm limits, the OMD-2008 immediately activates visual and audible alarms and can interface with the engine protection system for automatic slowdown or shutdown, depending on the vessel's configuration.
Its high accuracy, reliable optical sensing, and robust marine design have made the OMD-2008 a preferred solution on commercial ships, offshore vessels, and power plants worldwide.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies new, used, and professionally reconditioned DECKMA OMD-2008 systems, sampling valves, optical measuring units, spare parts, repair services, calibration support, and worldwide technical assistance.
The DECKMA OMD-2008 is an automatic engine protection system designed to detect dangerous oil mist concentrations inside marine diesel engine crankcases.
Instead of waiting for temperature or pressure to reach dangerous levels, the system continuously samples air from each crankcase compartment and measures suspended oil particles using an optical detection method. This enables engineers to identify developing bearing failures or overheating at a very early stage.
The system can:
The DECKMA OMD-2008 uses an automatic sampling system that sequentially draws air from each crankcase compartment through dedicated sampling valves.
The sampled air passes through an optical measuring chamber where a light source and sensor detect the concentration of oil mist particles. The measured value is continuously compared with preset alarm thresholds.
If the oil mist concentration rises above the warning level, the system immediately generates an alarm. If the concentration continues to increase beyond the shutdown limit, the OMD-2008 can transmit a signal to the engine safety system to initiate automatic slowdown or shutdown, helping prevent catastrophic crankcase explosions and major engine damage.
The DECKMA OMD-2008 system generally consists of:
The DECKMA OMD-2008 is widely recognized for its dependable performance and advanced engine protection capabilities.
Key features include:
The DECKMA OMD-2008 Oil Mist Detector is designed for continuous operation on low-speed, medium-speed, and high-speed marine diesel engines. While the number of monitored crankcase sampling points depends on the engine configuration, the system generally offers the following characteristics.
