Vaisala MMT330 Transmitter Approved for Installation in MAN Diesel & Turbo Two-Stroke Diesel Engines
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
MAN Diesel & Turbo, the world market leader for large diesel engines used in
ships, has approved the Vaisala HUMICAP® Moisture and Temperature Transmitter
MMT330 Series for installation in the lubricating oil system of their MAN B&W
two-stroke diesel engines.
MAN Diesel & Turbo has introduced on-line condition-based water-in-oil
monitoring to their MAN B&W marine two-stroke diesel engines, in order to
protect their critical components. Severe damages can be avoided by monitoring
wear in the major bearings and water contamination in the lubrication oil.
In order to identify suitable vendors, MAN Diesel & Turbo conducted an extensive
testing of commercial water-in-oil sensors. The goal was to verify the
measurement accuracy of the sensors under conditions similar to those in two-
stroke marine diesel engine installations. The test results were also evaluated
on the basis of the accuracy of two alarm level values - a high alarm of water
activity 0.5 and 0.9.
"The engineis the heart of a ship. Ensuring its operation is a truly business-
critical task. It is great that a leading engine manufacturer has identified
Vaisala as a reliable supplier with products to suit their needs," says Senja
Paasimaa, Regional Market Manager at Vaisala.
