Schaller Oil Mist Detectors

Schaller Automation

Safety Equipment for Large Diesel Engines
Oil mist is an indicator of failed lubrication of moving parts anywhere inside the engine crankcase. Crankcase explosions are caused by overheating of oil pump bushing, camshaft or crankshaft bearing. Early oil mist detection prevents major engine damage on main diesel engines on ships and diesel generators.

Schaller Automation is the market leader in Oil Mist Detection
Manufacturers of large diesel and gas engines for ships and stationary electrical power generation rely on the fast-reacting Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detection system to protect their engines.

Depending on the Classification Society requirements, it is mandatory to install either bearing temperature sensors or an oil mist detection system on marine engines over a certain size.

Schaller’s VISATRON systems are approved by the leading classification societies including ABS, CG, GL, DNV, LRS, BV, RS, NKK, RINA, CCS, PRS, KR and others.
