Unique engine protection

Kongsberg Engine Monitoring Systems consist of bearing monitoring components covering Bearing Wear, Water in Oil, Temperature of all bearings and additional measuring points like: Cylinder liner and exhaust gas temperature. Software and system components are common with K-Chief 500 and AutoChief C20 allowing integration and joined support. Data transfer via CAN bus is the base for easy communication with other Kongsberg systems.

Condition monitoring of crank-train bearings in two-stroke diesel engines

Avoiding all types of bearing damage Bearing seizures are known to appear in many different forms and are caused by a wide variety of reasons. Combining the Kongsberg BWM system with the Kongsberg wireless bearing temperature monitoring system reduces the risk of bearing damages to an absolute minimum.

The Kongsberg Bearing Wear Monitoring (BWM) 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 BWM system uses two sensors mounted in each cylinder compartment, measuring every time the crosshead passes Bottom Dead Centre. The Kongsberg BWM sensors perform individual compensations for engine speed, engine crank case temperature and engine deflections due to vessel manoeuvring or cargo loading.

Wireless temperature monitoring - SENTRY

SENTRY - The ultimate equipment for monitoring bearing temperature

The SENTRY wireless bearing temperature monitoring system is capable of continuously measuring the metal temperature of bearings during engine operation. The SENTRY 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 antenna the sensor responds to the radar pulse by reflecting a pulse pattern back to the SPU. The characteristics of the reflected pulse are uniquely defined by the temperature. Main components are: Wireless temperature sensor Stationary reading antenna processing unit Signal

Based on low energy radar technology The Kongsberg SENTRY system is based on a sensor technology called Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), which opens for non-contact wireless temperature sensing without using batteries or transmitting inductive power to the sensor. In this system the air-gap between the sensor and the stationary antenna can vary between 10 and 50 millimetres providing an extremely flexible installation inside the crank-case.

Cylinder liner monitoring

Designed to monitor the cylinder liner temperature

The Kongsberg cylinder liner monitoring system monitors the piston running performance by measuring the temperature of the upper part of the cylinder liners. Increased friction between the piston rings and the cylinder liner creates an elevated temperature level leading to abnormal liner wear and potential piston ring breakage. Temperature alarm limits can be individually set on the PC work station to give early warning about high thermal load and potential cylinder liner scuffing. Additionally, individual relay output alarms can be provided directly to the cylinder lubrication units in order to temporarily increase the cylinder lubrication. The Kongsberg cylinder liner monitoring system consists of high quality temperature sensors and one field-bus signal converter on each cylinder and one common PC work station.
