Engine Monitoring Systems for operational safety kOnGSBERG Engine Monitoring Systems are built on KONGSBERG K-Chief hardware and software. They consist of bearing wear and bearing temperature monitoring of crank-train bearings, water in oil, cylinder liner temperature and shaft power monitoring. The Engine Monitoring Systems are fully scalable from standalone to full integration with KONGSBERG K-Chief alarm monitoring system and KONGSBERG AutoChief propulsion control system. All systems are recommended and approved by the major engine designers and are an ideal basis for condition...

SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY Modular and scalable concept Systems may easily be extended by adding additional hardware units such as operator stations, input/output modules and additional measuring points. KONGSBERG System Technology offers signal acquisition and processing units for installation in ER cabinets, ECR consoles or mounted directly on the engine. Processing algorithms are executed within the local acquisition units or in the powerful controller units. By distribution and segregation the consequences of a system fault are reduced and may even be eliminated. The KONGSBERG Engine Monitoring...

Cylinder Liner Temperature Monitors piston running performance by measuring the temperature of the cylinder liners. Bearing Wear Measures the combined wear of crosshead, crank and main bearing and provides early warning of bearing seizure It is required to avoid open up inspections. Main Bearing Temperature Mounted on the bearing girder with the tip in direct contact with the bearing shell. Crank and Crosshead Temperature Measures continuously the temperature of the bearings. The sensor communicates wirelessly with a processing unit using a high frequency and low energy radar pulse. Water...

Condition monitoring of crank-train bearings in 2-stroke diesel engines The KONGSBERG Bearing Wear Condition Monitoring (BWCM) system measures and displays the combined physical wear of the crosshead, crank and main bearings, providing early bearing seizure warnings if problems occur during engine operation. The sensors are specifically designed to provide reliable and accurate measurements over years of operation inside the engine. The BWCM system uses two sensors mounted in each cylinder compartment, measuring every time the crosshead passes Bottom Dead Centre. The KONGSBERG BWCM sensors...

Water in Oil sensor The KONGSBERG Water in Oil sensor enables fast and reliable detection of moisture in lubrication oil. It can be used in online moisture monitoring and as a control device. The Water in Oil sensor measures moisture in oil in terms of the water activity (aw) and temperature (T). Water activity indicates directly whether there is a risk of free water formation which causes corrosion of the bearings. The measurement is also independent of oil type and age. The sensor incorporates the latest generation of the HUMICAP® Sensor, which is the result of ten years of field...

UNIQUE TEMPERATURE MONITORING - BEARINGS AND LINERS SENTRY - For crankpin and crosshead bearing temperature monitoring The SENTRY wireless bearing temperature monitoring system is capable of continuously measuring the temperature of bearings during engine operation. The wireless sensors are individually interrogated from a multiplexed Signal Processing Unit (SPU) using a high frequency and low energy radar pulse. The radar pulse is transmitted to the wireless sensor via a coaxial cable to a stationary antenna positioned inside the crank case. Within the interrogation range of the stationary...

Main bearing temperature sensors Monitoring cylinder liner temperature Custom designed main bearing temperature sensors can be fitted into any type of 2-stroke and 4-stroke diesel engines. On 2-stroke engines the sensors are mounted on the main bearing girder with the tip of the sensor in direct contact with the bearing shell. The sensor measures the combined temperatures of the bearing shell and of the lubrication oil that flows from the bearing. On 4-stroke engines the sensors are inserted in the main bearing cap. The KONGSBERG cylinder liner monitoring system monitors the piston running...

TORQUE AND POWER MONITORING MetaPower® is 100% digital and based on optical measurement The MetaPower® System measures the twist of a rotating shaft. Two slotted wheels are mounted on the shaft. Light is transmitted by LEDs through the slots in each wheel, converted to a digital electronic signal and sent back to the processing unit for calculation of the corresponding torque. The system displays RPM, torque and power for both shafts. High accuracy torque measurement No need for strain gauges or any type of delicate electronics glued to, or mounted on the rotating shafts. The system is a...
