KONGSBERG SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY A crystal clear solution KONGSBERG, as a supplier of integrated ship systems, plays an increasingly important role when optimizing the operation of vessels. Extensive investments in research and development have resulted in a modular concept, which will largely contribute to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The vessel performance concept takes a holistic approach where the overall perspective is combined with focus on operational improvements for both hull and engine. When combined with the KONGSBERG ShipLoad 3-D vessel model based loading...

Real-time measuring Proven new cylinder pressure sensors for permanent use with heavy fuel oil were developed and onboard tested. With the smart signal processing unit (SIU), sensor data from cylinder pressure, fuel sensors or other signals that are closely related to the rotation of the engine are processed in real-time. Analysis providing practical advice The principle combustion analysis utilized by AVL EPOS™ is fully verified. The subsequent diagnosis algorithm bases on these empirical results and uses different state of the art methods such as redundancies and physical models. Changing...

Torque and power measurement The KONGSBERG MetaPower measures torque and power transferred from the main engines to the propellers. The MetaPower system offers high accuracy and long term stability. The patented IR Laser technology utilized for measuring the torque provides very high accuracy, long term stability and long life time. 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 digital measuring system using a IR laser beam for the detection of the shaft torque, the shaft RPM and...

A breakthrough in sensor technology The greatest barrier to overcoming the challenge of continuous real-time monitoring of the cylinder pressure has been sensors, sensors that can withstand the high temperature in the cylinders. Quartz crystal based sensors have been tried, but have proven not suitable to perform effectively at temperatures exceeding 275 °C. AVL List has made a major breakthrough in sensor development, by being able to grow gallium orthophosphate crystals for high performance combustion pressure sensors. Sensors that can withstand temperatures in excess of 600 °C - just the...

Favourable vessel operation While the engine performance and optimization module optimizes the engine and propulsion line, the operational performance module assist in optimal operation of the vessel. The operational module assist in finding the optimal vessel's speed, draft and trim, route and engine modes as well as enable weather planning to avoid unfavourable sailing conditions. Weather planning The weather forecast can be used to predict areas where unfavourable conditions will develop. Based on the advice, sailing routes and time of departure can be adjusted. Vessel trim and...
