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 stand alone to full integration with Kongsberg K-Chief alarm monitoring system and Kongsberg AutoChief C20 propulsion control system. All systems are recommended and approved by the major engine designers and are an ideal basis for condition based maintenance.

Engine overview

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 Systems concept yields a modular design, where the various modules can be configured and combined to suit individual needs. The individualised Engine Monitoring systems can then be integrated with Kongsberg K-Chief and AutoChief C20 system. Each module is fully compatible with each other and therefore provides seamless information sharing and a consistent operation environment. Essential components such as bearing wear sensors and wireless temperature sensors yield the best results that technology has to offer in terms of reliability, accuracy and durability. By utilizing the CAN field bus protocol for engine instrumentation, installation costs are reduced and the quality of data processing enhanced.

Utilise open standards for automation systems

The engine monitoring functionalities have been developed in close co-operation with maritime professionals, to ensure system functionalities that work effectively and safely in real life operations. The Kongsberg Engine Monitoring System concept in general and the individual modules utilise open standards, which provide for interfaces to different automation systems.

Cylinder Liner Temperature

Monitors piston running performance by measuring the temperature of the cylinder liners.

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.

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.

Water in Oil
The sensor gives continuous measurement of moisture in oil, and oil temperature. Moisture is measured in terms of water activity.

WORKSTATIONS BRIDGE K-LOG PERFORMANCE LOG

Condition monitoring of crank-train bearings in two-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 perform individual compensations for engine speed, engine load (cpp) and engine crank case temperature.

Water in Oil sensor

The Kongsberg Water in Oil sensor enables fast and reliable detection of moisture in 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. 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 experience. It was developed for demanding moisture measurement in liquid hydrocarbons. The sensor's excellent chemical tolerance provides accurate and reliable measurement over a wide measurement range.

SENTRY - For crankpin and crosshead bearing temperature monitoring

The SENTRY wireless bearing temperature monitoring system is capable of continuously measuring the metal temperature of bearings during engine operation. Main components are:
Wireless temperature sensor Stationary reading antenna processing unit Signal

Main bearing temperature sensors

Custom designed main bearing temperature sensors can be fitted into any type of 2stroke 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 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.

Monitoring 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.

Kongsberg Support 24

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 processing unit has two channels, allowing installation on vessels with twin shafts. The system displays RPM, torque and power for both shafts.
