Sensors act as an early warning system, alerting ships engineering staff to potential main engine damage or failure. This allows preventative maintenance during the ships passage to the next port, or even a route change.

Oil Condition Monitoring - Marine Applications
For maintaining engine condition it is essential to ship owners that the lubricating oils are within operating limits. Changes to feed rates, cat fines, routine maintenance and many other contamination can cause dramatic problems with your cylinders. Continually monitoring the ferrous wear debris provides the ships staff with a real time wear-management system.
The monitoring can highlight at an early stage the location and severity of any wear problems showing whether they are catastrophic or more gradual. To an engineer, this allows extrapolation of the machinery condition trend to a point in time where failure may be predicted. Throughout the field-testing, the ANALEXrs Total Ferrous Debris monitors and online sensors detectand measure iron content, including sudden high ferrous wear, attributed to catalyst fines in the fuel. The units have been totally proven against laboratory analysis and are widely used throughout the shipping and industrial world.
ANALEXrs sensors provides a completely new solution to the traditional regime of engine monitoring by measuring immediate ferrous wear of cylinder liners, effectively providing ships staff with an engine wear-management system.
The ANALEXrs Total Ferrous Debris Sensor is suitable for use on all crosshead slow speed diesel engines with cylinder oil lubrication, whether new-build or retrofitted to an existing system. It can be easily fitted and linked to a ship management system by staff onboard.
