Increasing oil costs have meant that average vessel cost for cylinder oil is more than 4 Million Dollars!

Did you know that;

• On spec fuel can still cause serious damage due to cat fines.
• The first unmistakable signs of scuffing can often be seen a few days before serious damage, not just hours.
• Bedding in does not always follow a standard pattern.
• Optimal oil feed rates fluctuate due to trade, load, running hours and many other unknown factors.
• Real time main engine condition data now allows you to optimize the feed rate onboard without taking samples.

LinerSCAN can give you real time data that;

• Helps you reduce the cylinder oil feed rate to the optimal value
• Provides a fast response when a problem occurs; allowing you to detect and repair before the problem becomes serious.
• Picks up the ingress of fuel CAT fines in real-time
• Allows real-time plotting of cylinder liner bed-in, so action can be taken e.g. increase of lubricant, if problems occur.
• Acts as an early warning system, alerting ships engineering staff to potential main engine damage or failur

The requirement for on-line machinery and oil condition monitoring is becoming evermore apparent as maintenance costs increase and production capacity and equipment performance is maximised. 

You can balance LinerSCAN results with simple testing of the TBN to provide data ensuring controlled corrosion and good liner condition.  View the Kittiwake TBN DIGI Test Kit by clicking here
