Introduction

World Class Innovations in Condition Monitoring

CMT is a specialised manufacturer for on-line and on-site condition monitoring solutions. Our equipment enables onsite engineers to make on the spot informed decision helping with the daily maintenance job.

CM Technologies, formerly known as Kittiwake GmbH help prevent unplanned breakdown and maximise plant availability. There are various different on-the-run tools available for condition monitoring:

• Condition monitoring for operating fluids (lubricants, fuel, water / on-site or in a lab)• Vibration Analysis, Acoustic Emission or Sound• Monitoring physical properties (speed, rpm, temperature, pressure, power ....)

Most of the condition monitoring technologies can be used as online or offline version whereas both variants do not provide the same results.

The best solution is often a combination of two or three of the condition monitoring tools, but it depends very much on the type of your condition monitoring equipment you have in use, the criticality of that equipment, the running conditions (speed, rpm, temperature ...) of your equipment, and how perceptive your organization is to training.

CMT, formerly known as Kittiwake GmbH can offer you a complete solution as on- or offline system. We are pleased to help you finding the right solution.

We want to give this catalogue to interested parties and to customers who need to get more knowledge or adjusted information for products they already use and/or want to upgrade.

CMT’s oil test kit range provides on-site test equipment invaluable for any engineers responsible for high value lubricated machinery or hydraulic equipment. Economically priced these condition monitoring tools quickly will become the backbone of your maintenance regime. Engineers and maintenance managers are given the ability to conduct oil analysis directly on-site at the running machine. Spot out-of-spec fuels and lubricants before they become a critical problem by using our kits. You can choose from wide range of different set ups including complete test cabinets ensuring you get the right tool for your machinery.

CMT test kits are supplied either in durable aluminium cases or in wall mounted steel cabinets. Our multi-parameter test kits contain all of the necessary equipment and consumables for your oil condition monitoring needs.

On-site oil analysis equipment provides your chance to monitor the condition of your oil between laboratory checks. Built based on our experience in oil condition monitoring our kits are made to be used by anyone because no training or special knowledge is needed. Important oil parameters can be measured in a few minutes. Step by step instructions and on screen user guides make using the kits as simple as ever.

Your main benefits using CMT oil test devices:

• Fast and accurate results.

• Regular use of CMT´s oil condition monitoring equipment helps avoid expensive machinery failures.

Water is the biggest threat any oil lubricated system faces. Depending on the application water can cause serious problems for the equipment or safety. Maintain and protect your equipment by monitoring the water content.

Most parameters can be trended well by offline laboratory oil tests. This is not the case when it comes to water ingress. Water is not a by-product of the aging of oil or a result of the usage of the oil. Water ingress can come quickly and without any prior warning. Once established water levels may rise very fast. Therefore a trend analysis in a shore based laboratory does not allow a close enough monitoring of the water content to avoid problems due to a sudden water ingress.

The new developed Electronic Water in Oil TestCell does provide highest accuracy on site when testing Water in Oil giving results after a few minutes.

• Prevent corrosion, cavitation or failure of your machinery by detecting water in oil, before any damage occurs.

• Minimize instability of additive packages and damaging microbe growth by monitoring your oil.

Your benefits:

• All parts (sensor, display, battery etc) can be exchanged when needed.

• Now 30% bigger backlit display for better visibility

• Solid rugged metal housing for higher durability

• Multiple ranges for exact readings

Base Number (BN)

Measure the alkaline reserve in engine oils is important to maintain the ability of the lubricant to neutralize acids from combustion.

To avoid acid corrosion inside a combustion engine it is essential to maintain a certain alkalinity reserve. Additives (mostly calcium) is added to the oil to neutralize any acid which might build up during the combustion process.

Normally the BN of an engine oil decreases with the running hours. In two stroke engines the circulation oil gets contaminated with leaking cylinder oil which has a much higher BN resulting in a steep increase of the BN value.

The CMT BN Test Kit provides state of the art analysis and gives fast, accurate results within a couple of minutes.

Salt Water Contamination

For sea-water cooled systems on older vessels it is essential to know the source of the water in the oil. The CMT Salt Water Test does allow the user to identify whether the water contamination of the oil is sea- or freshwater. Use the Salt Water Contamination Test together with the Electronic Water in Oil Kit to identify the problem clearly.

Especially in four-stroke engines water evaporates over time but the salt stays in the oil resulting in corrosion problems.

• Provides a fast indication if salt is present, even if all the water has been evaporated already.

• Fast and easy results within minutes.

• Easy to understand yes or no information.

• Usable for all oils

For a lubrication oil the viscosity is regarded as the oils most important characteristic. The viscosity is the resistance to flow and the strength of the oil film between moving surfaces.

• Measuring the oil viscosity provides an early detection of contamination, fuel ingress and shear thinning.

• Suitable for all mineral oils or fuels down to 1.5 cSt up to 999 cSt (heated viscometer only).

• Allows to calculate the combustion performance (CCAI) of fuel or injection / storage temperature.

The Heated Viscosity Meter can measure at 40, 50 or 80 °C and can correct to 40 or 50°C. Measuring the viscosity at 80 °C allows to measure the viscosity index. It also allows to measure very high viscosities with pin point accuracy.

The CMT Viscotube is a falling ball viscosimeter allowing to measure the viscosity of oil in centistokes on site.

The Viscotube closes the gap between the low cost viscosity stick and the highly accurate Heated Viscosity Meter.

The Viscotube is equipped with a clear screw cap at each end allowing to see the falling ball arrive at the other end. A tripod support stand on a mirror base plate helps to monitor the falling ball. The device is supplied with three sizes of balls to cover a wide range of viscosity. A digital thermometer is used to measure the temperature after completing the test.

The CMT Viscostick provides information whether the viscosity has increased or decreased. Typically it will detect 5-10% fuel dilution as well as increases in viscosity due to oil contamination like water. It can not be used to get an actual viscosity value but you will get an idea whether the viscosity is greater or smaller than the viscosity of the reference oil. It is essential that both oils have the same temperature at the time of the measurement.

Acid Number (AN)

Acid Number or AN is an important oil parameter for hydraulic systems and gas engines. It is a measure of the organic and inorganic acids present within the oil.

Maintaining the acid level of an oil prevents unexpected oxidation problems. The Acid Number Test Kit does provide easy on site information of the acid number in oils.

The CMT Acid Number Test gives you instant indication of the AN increase in your lubricants.

• The test kit is supplied with all reagents needed for 25 tests.

• Simple to use drop test. Drops added will be counted until a colour change is observed.

• Titration point can be observed with the help of an advanced electronic photo cell.

• Providing you with easy to interpret results, suitable for use by untrained personnel.

OTR-CT-11000


The CMT Flash Point Tester is an automated closed cup instrument using just a 2 ml sample size.

Increased flash point in engine oils to about 200 °C is an early indication for fuel dilution which can result in crankcase explosion.

The flammability of a material also determines its safety classification and the regulations under which it must be handled, stored and transported.

The Electronic Flash Point Tester is a compact, bench top / portable, Closed Cup Flash Point Tester designed to carry out ‘flash / no flash’ tests or to determine flash point values up to 300°C using either Ramp or Rapid Equilibrium methods.

The operating principle is that a cup containing the sample to be tested is electrically heated in a ramp function to automatically increment the temperature for repeated tests until a flash is observed, or the end of the search range

is reached, allowing rapid determination of samples.

The device also features a user-friendly yes/no test. It is heated to a user set test temperature. At the set temperature, a shutter in the lid is opened and a test flame is dipped into the vapour space above the sample. It can be determined if a sample has a flash point above or below the test temperature by detecting whether a flash has occurred or not.

Insolubles

Insolubles Test Kit


OTK-CT-11002

Insoluble Spot Test Kit

Range: good / poor

Test Time: one hour (unattended)

Reagent: non hazardous

The CMT Insolubles Spot Test Kit is a simple spot test on a specially developed filter paper to get an indication of both, the insoluble load and the dispersency or your lubricant.

Insolubles are a build up in combustion engines due to the burning fuel in the engine. They are combustion related debris and oxidation products within the lubrication oil.

Regular monitoring of insolubles helps to prevent lacquer formation on hot surfaces, sticking of piston rings, wear of cylinder liner and bearing surfaces.

The detergent property of the oil will also decrease, speeding further deterioration.

• Detect insolubles from diesel engine combustion such as partially oxidized fuel, carbon, fuel ash, oil oxidation products and used lubricant additives.

• Simple and quick to use even for untrained people.

• The insolubles tests give you actionable results, helping to maintain your engine.

Especially in trunk piston engines it is important to monitore the amount of related dabis in the lubricant. In cross head engines the level is typically much lower then in trunk piston engines but needs to be monitored as well.

Bacteria, moulds and yeasts can all grow rapidly in fuel tanks! Free water, warmth and condensation in the fuel form the basis for growth of the Diesel Bugs.

The addition of environmentally friendly biodiesel to the fossil diesel offers microbes an excellent source of nutrition. Microbes grow more than ever and form increased amounts of “biomass”. This leads to clogged filters, corrosion and to engine failure.

Standard grades of diesel are clear and usually light yellow. The smallest discoloration can be a sign of the Diesel Bug. To be sure, you have to test it!

The CMT Diesel Fuel Bacteria Tests can be used to test the Diesel Fuel directly. The Dip Slide Test is used in case of a clogged filter. A thin film of the residues from the clogged filter can be incubated on the dip slide to evaluate if the filters clogging because of bugs or other dirt:

The Fuel Bacteria test:

• provides evaluation of Diesel Bug count (bacteria, yeast and moulds altogether).

• is easy to use.

• provides precise and reliable result.

• allows fast and safe handling.

• is suitable for all qualities of diesel fuel inclusive biodiesel.

Application: Put on the disposable gloves and take a fuel sample from the tank. Using the pipette provided measure a sample into the test bottle. Close the bottle. Tap the mikrocount® fuel bottle a few times against the hand, so that the gel breaks up. Now shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds until the fuel sample has mixed completely with the gel. Afterwards tap the bottle against your hand to make a flat layer of gel on the flat bottle side. Lay the bottle flat with the gel layer down in a warm (22-28 °C), dark location. After 1-4 days a positive result will be obvious and can be evaluated with the help of the charts provided.

A detailed instruction manual is provided with the test kit. Please follow the instruction carefully. Always take appropriate safety precautions when handling any type of fuel!

mikrocount® fuel – a test method for detection of contaminated diesel fuels.

Evaluation of the results:

No more than 2 spots = low contamination

Our recommendation: prophylactic dose of grotamar® 82 (25 ml per 100 l diesel)

3-25 spots = moderate contamination

Our recommendation: moderate dose of grotamar® 82 (50 ml per 100 l diesel)

More than 25 spots = heavy contamination

Our recommendation: tank inspection and if necessary tank cleaning, then shock dose of grotamar® 82 (100 ml per 100 l diesel)

Overview

Cylinder oil in a main engine has two main tasks. It should lubricate the engine to have an acceptable low wear level and it has to neutralize the sulphuric acid to avoid unexpected acid corrosion in the liner.

By analysing scrape down oil collected from the scavenge space shipboard personnel are able to monitor the condition of the engine’s cylinders and detect changes as they occur.

Scrape down oil analysis provides comprehensive laboratory testing and analysis of the oil samples. It offers on-board testing tools that enable ships’ engineers to quickly detect damages due to substantive changes of cylinder oil feed rates.

The CMT Cylinder Drain Oil Service does consist of two important major components:

• Frequent on board oil tests of BN (base number) and wear metal. The wear metal can either be tested with the an on-site manual device or with our automatic Liner Monitor system.

• Periodical onshore independent laboratory oil tests providing a complete result about wear, contamination, oil condition and additives together in a diagnostic statement from our tribology experts.

On board testing with the on-site CMT Liner Monitor and the CMT BN Test Kit provides quick results of the oil’s most important properties relative to the engine’s cylinder operating condition. The independent laboratory oil test does provide a complete result about wear, contamination, oil condition and additive components combined with a detailed diagnostic statement from a tribology engineer.

Rapid Return of Investment

This chart shows that the cost of cylinder oil and the liner itself are the biggest cost factors when operating a main engine. Existing installations have proved that significant cost savings can be achieved with return on investment achieved in less than a year in some cases. .

Feed Rate Optimization

Optimization means reducing to the minimum level which still ensures good lubrication and at the same time sufficient neutralisation of combustion related acids. Minimum level also means having enough for cleaning the piston surface. Even current standard electronic lubrication systems are based only on experience and standard inputs as rpm or sulphur level in the fuel. Currently there is no system available which considers a feed back about the current situation in the liner. As one of the engine’s largest overheads, an average container ship can spend $8 million and more on cylinder lubrication in its life time. Dependent upon trade, load, running hours and other factors, constant real-time monitoring is a vital tool in optimising cylinder lube oil feed rate and, as a result, improving efficiency, decreasing lubricant costs and avoiding issues related with over and under lubrication.

Engines are regularly over lubricated in an attempt to avoid problems including scuffing, but this practice not only causes high lubrication costs, it can sometimes lead to associated problems such as bore polishing. Therefore, although optimising cylinder lubricant usage is one method of achieving commercial advantage, there is a point where savings can be eroded by increased maintenance costs.

Recommended Sampling and Testing Frequency

CMT does have a lot of experience with oil testing and analysis for marine diesel engines. Based on that, we will give you some recommendation for the sampling and testing frequency. Unless advised differently by your superintendent or the engine manufacturer we recommend the following sampling and testing frequencies.

Onboard Oil Test: a) Online Liner Monitor: The Liner Monitor system is a fully automated system which does not require human interference. It takes a measurement automatically as soon as enough oil has been sampled.

b) On-site manual devices: Minimum frequency once per week. To get a much closer picture CMT recommends doing an onboard test for wear metal once per day if possible. This is essential while adjustments to the feed rate are being done. If your sampling frequency is once per week an additional sample should be taken after each fuel change to get an early indication about cat fines. This is most important for any change between low and high sulphur fuel.

c) CMT BN Test: This can be done with a much lower frequency. We recommend doing it once per week and after each fuel change to reduce the risk of acid corrosion.

Laboratory oil test: We recommend a quarterly test (or every 1000 - 1500 running hours) under normal running conditions. If there are unusual results in the laboratory report we might recommend a repeat test after a shorter period. It is advisable to follow the recommendation.

An additional test is recommended immediately when you notice any abnormality from the on board test.

BN TestCell

On board oil tests are designed to measure only single parameters. Use them as a supplement to the Laboratory Oil Test - not as a substitute. A comprehensive laboratory oil analysis is essential as part of an effective engine monitoring.

The CMT Liner Monitor is providing an early warning about critical engine damages because of mechanical or corrosive wear. It is also providing the information needed to optimize your cylinder oil consumption.

Trials show that Liner Monitor highlights the first signs of damage earlier than other systems and enables safe reduction of lubricant feed rate. At the same time it monitors any acid corrosion problem inside the combustion chamber. Liner Monitor is an automated system helping you to save money by optimizing the lubricant feed rate while avoiding any acid corrosion. It does reduce your maintenance and helps to prevent unnecessary engine damages.

CMT’s Liner Monitor system is designed to remove the uncertainty on cylinder damages resulting from low fuel quality, slow steaming, low or high sulphur levels, lower oil feed rates and cylinder oil formulation changes.

The picture shows a typical installation place for the Liner Monitor

CDO Sampling Section:

In some cases where the CDO is drained like a mist the collection of cylinder drain oil is difficult. For those engines CMT does provide a CDO Sampling Section allowing the oil to “condensate” on the deflector plates. This does allow easy and reliable sample taking. The CDO Sampling Section is supplied as a flange section and can also be used in all other engines without the oil mist problem for easy connection of the oil hoses to the Liner Monitor sensor boxes.

Benefits:

• Enables safe reduction of cylinder oil feed rates while keeping the acid corrosion under control

• Reduce engine damages by spotting the first signs of scuffing, piston ring damage or other wear problems

• Gives an early alert about CAT fine problems in the fuel.

• Allows an informed running-in process based on real wear data.

• Simple installation for both new and retrofit

• Link with ships management and alarm system

• Reliable and robust

3. Independent Laboratory Oil Test

The oil itself is an excellent data medium which is full of valuable information if tested correctly and the findings actioned. This information highlights the condition of the oil and the machine, enabling you to identify the optimal moment for an oil change. Wear particles can be directly related or assigned to a damaged part of a given machine giving information of the condition of the plant and providing early warnings in the fight to reduce and prevent damage.

The CMT Marine Oil Test Service is a comprehensive insight into the functioning of your engine. It covers analysis of the combustion process, cylinder oil feed rates, fuel problems and identification of potential issues such as piston and liner wear, incomplete combustion and crankcase system oil analysis. In particular, we work very hard to minimize your costs related to oil consumption and feed rate. It is not in the interest of CMT to let you spend more on lubrication than necessary.

CMT has formed a strategic partnership with a certified and accredited laboratory with over 15 years experience in used oil lab analysis. A database of more than one million used oil samples from more than fifteen thousand customers all over the world and our cooperation with lube oil suppliers and engine manufacturers allows us to give you appropriate independent recommendations based on the oil analysis.

4. Online Oil Sensors

Water Monitor

While maintenance costs increase and production capacity and equipment performance is optimized the demand for on-line machinery and oil condition monitoring is increasing permanently. CMT had designed a range of instruments to accomplish the primary objectives of oil analysis.

New technologies deliver new ways to protect your investments. Using our oil sensors to monitor the condition of the oil can now be applied as the technology is available and has proven its worth in the field.

Now more than ever it is necessary to get the most out of the machinery, to minimize downtimes, streamline maintenance and to avoid unnecessary costs.

Online oil sensors are a great addition to your offline oil analysis program giving you an early alert about critical situations. They also might allow to extend the sampling intervals but do give at the same time an indication when an additional oil sample should be sent to a laboratory for more detailed information and double check of the problem.

The effect of water ingress into an oil system can be rapid and catastrophic. The Water Monitor removes the risks associated with periodic off-line testing and potential human error. In comparison to other techniques for water monitoring, CMT´s Water Monitor measures the total concentration of water in oil, not just the dissolved water. CMT´s Water Monitor already has been installed on a multitude of seafaring vessels, where it proves its worth every single day!

A robust design with an IP65 housing ensure that CMT´s Water Monitor can provide permanent, repeatable accurate and reliable real time data in harsh marine and industrial environments.

Continuous on-line monitoring provides the most representative picture of oil condition. Changes are highlighted as they occur and not just at scheduled laboratory analysis. Preventative action can then be taken before a significant damage can occur.

Water Monitor provides accurate feedback of the water concentration in your oil system. With local and optional remote alarms, Water Monitor instantly puts the information enabling the engineers to act accordingly.

Combined Oil Condition and Moisture Sensor

The Combined Oil Condition and Moisture Sensor goes beyond the normal protection systems.

It is a permanent sensor for the continuous determination of the oil condition, humidity and temperature in hydraulic and lubricating oils. It permanently monitors dissolved water, temperature and oil quality at the same time. It puts you in control of your lubricant. Prompt informations are given on changes in the fluid allowing immediate actions in case of deteriorating operating conditions.

Monitoring of changes in hydraulic fluids and lubricants are essential for condition based maintenance. Data is continuously documented evaluated and stored. In that way deterioration and changes in the oil (e.g. water leakage, oil change, ...) can be indicated.

Through this, damage can be recognized or completely avoided at an early stage. This offers the opportunity to prevent machine failures as well as to prolong maintenance and oil change intervals by means of appropriate measures. Furthermore, by monitoring the lubricant, correctly performed maintenance work and the use of the required lubricant quality may be documented.

Supplied with a standard ¾“ thread it can easily be integrated in a return line or the tank. The communication with the sensor is either done over a serial RS232 interface, over analog outputs (4...20 mA) or CANopen interface. In order to enable a long-term record of data, the sensor is equipped with internal data storage unit which can be read out over the serial interface.

The sensor records the change in temperature, relative oil humidity and water activity, relative permittivity and conductivity of the fluid. As all readings do show a strong connection to the temperature, next to the characteristic values at current temperature the sensor also sends the data at reference temperature. The sensor is able to evaluate condition changes automatically. Alerts can be sent to the CAN interface if needed.

Metallic Particle Sensor

The Metallic Particle Sensor is an intelligent sensor that detects electrically conductive particles in the medium that passes through it. The sensor counts them in real-time and classifies them according to their size.

The Metallic Particle Sensor uses a new patented detection method which is based on the eddy current principle and works independently of oil temperature, flow rate, viscosity, air and water contents or oil colour (darkening).

It can be mounted within almost any lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor measures ferrous and nonferrous metals, resulting from the wear debris within the lubricant, using a combination of proven inductive coil technology, combined with smart algorithms to provide a particle size distribution count. And that puts you in control. You know that the more severe the wear problem, the more that the machine produces larger wear debris particulate.

With its digital and analogue outputs, it can be easily integrated into your existing Condition Monitoring and operating control systems. It puts you in control. Whether it’s to check on the health of the machine, or an alert of changing wear patterns, the sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory oil analysis programme, and helping you make informed maintenance planning decisions.


SEN-CT-16904

Wear Monitor

The eddy current measuring principle

An excitation coil (black) that generates an alternating magnetic field (blue) induces eddy currents (green) in the oil. A receiver coil detects the resulting eddy current density. Electrically con-ductive, i.e. ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants in the oil change the current flow between the excitation and the receiver coils. In order to detect even miniscule particles at high flow velocities the Metallic Particle Sensor utilizes the fast reacting differential coils method with two receiver windings connected in opposition.

The DieselSCOPE is a portable unit that monitors the combustion process of diesel engines with a speed of up to 3000 rpm in real time. It allows you to tune the engine while measuring and detecting faults or irregularities early in the developing stages.

The DieselSCOPE system consists of a handheld unit, a cylinder pressure sensor connected to the indicator valve of the cylinder being measured, and an optical or inductive pick-up(s) fitted on the flywheel.

It is easy-to-use and very intuitive thanks to the single function buttons: Engine, Measure, File, Graph, Bar, Table, Mode, Setup and Help. There are no hidden sub menus. The large icons are self-explanatory. Navigate with the arrows, confirm by the Yes button, return back by No.

The DieselSCOPE was designed as a stand alone unit. The long battery life, the 320 x 240 pixels screen allows using it without a PC. The big nonvolatile memory stores 60 measurement records, up to 20 cylinders each. The engine library can keep 30 engine data files. It measures in auto-stop and continuous mode.

The DieselSCOPE has Graph, Bar and Table visual modes. All three can be used to measure or to analyse data records.

The bar view shows the Pressure - Angle diagram(s). You can compare cylinders, zoom the diagrams, read the pressure at the cursor position from multiple diagrams.

The bar view displays either absolute or relative (% deviation) plots of a selected measured or calculated parameter for cylinder-to-cylinder comparison.

Table mode shows the values of RPM, P(ind), P(cmp), P(max) and A(ign) of a selected cylinder.

The values of all other parameters of all cylinders are shown when scrolling through the table of results.

The DieselSCOPE is supplied with a PC software package called DieselSCOPE View. The transfer of measurement records and engine data files to a PC is done via USB connection.

The DieselSCOPE View software helps to analyse the combustion process, store the measurements in data files, print diagrams or complete reports, sent data files by E-mail to the office.

The DieselSCOPE View facilitates the evaluation of the engine condition. Variety of diagrams, bar plots and tables present the measurements and the manually entered data in a user-friendly way.

The DieselSCOPE View makes it easier to compare current with previously taken reference data and thus to detect worn parts or incorrect adjustment.

The DieselSCOPE helps to reduce the engine’s operating cost. Cylinder-to-cylinder load balancing and correct fuel injection settings will optimise engine performance and minimize specific fuel oil consumption.

Acoustic Emission Sensor

DieselSCOPE

30

Emission (AE) waves are commonly defined as transient elastic waves within a material caused by the release of localized stress energy. Hence, an event source is the phenomenon which releases elastic energy into the material, which then propagates as an elastic wave.

AE events that are commonly studied among material failure processes include the extension of a fatigue crack, or fibre breakage in a composite material.

AE is also related to an irreversible release of energy that can be generated from sources not involving material failure including friction, cavitation and impact. Acoustic emissions can be detected in frequency up to 100 MHz.

The Acoustic Emission Sensors is a piezoelectric sensor with built-in amplifier and signal conditioning. It is optimised to detects elastic waves in the range of 300 to 700 KHz , which are caused by the injection of the fuel through the nozzle, exhaust gas flow through the valve, impact of the injector needle, closing and opening of the fuel pump spill.

The AE sensor is used to measure the angle at which these events occur and to detect deviations in injection timing, late burning of fuel in the cylinder, leaking injectors.

2. Torque Meter

The CMT Torque Meter is a permanent monitoring system which continuously measures the shaft (effective) torque, power and RPM. The torque meter itself consists of two metal tapes with magnetic pattern, two sensors and a transmitter. It is 24 V (DC) powered, with 2 x 4-20mA current outputs, a pulse RPM output and a serial port (RS232 or USB).

A 4-20 mA signal, proportional to the shaft torque in % of the MCR value is averaged by a preset number of up to 255 consecutive revolutions. The 4-20 mA torque output and the pulse RPM signal are connected to the optional TM Junction Box ( or TM – USB box). Shaft power is calculated by torque and RPM. All data is transferred to a PC via the USB connector.

Optional the package includes a dedicated PC software that displays on a monitor the actual torque, power and RPM value. The software calculates and displays both, the current data and the moving average values of power, torque and RPM. The moving average period is set from 1 to 24 hours. The measured data is saved in a preset period of 1 to 60 minutes. The TM software displays trends of the saved data and the current and saved measurements on the main engine power / rpm diagram, as defined by the engine manufacturer.

The measured data can be exported in an Excel compatible CSV (Comma Separated Values) file for further calculations and analyses.

Advantages:

• Digital method of shaft twist measurement, not affected by changes in temperature, propeller thrust or shaft misalignment and stress;

• Contact free digital sensors;

• High precision - time resolution of 0.1 milliseconds;

• Simple & easy to install also for retrofit installations;

• No need to provide power to the components on the shaft;

• No need to transfer by telemetry any signals from rotating components;

The Vibration Meter is a multi-function portable meter that bridges the gap between the basic Vibration meter and advanced FFT data collector / analyser.

It is a complete machine condition monitoring system that gives results without the use of a computer or laptop. It is designed for the technician, engineer and consultant who needs to analyse a rotating machine on-site without investing and carrying expensive instruments to site. Using the CMT Vibration Meter cannot be easier!

Both experts and users without knowledge of vibration analysis can use the device immediately. For the latter the FASIT-Mode (fault source identification tools) has been introduced for simple and rapid damage analysis. It gives an immediate analysis of the problem according to the “traffic light” principle.

3. Vibration Analysis Solutions

Bearing problems are the most common cause for machine and plant damage.

Slight misalignment or imbalance creates significant greater than expected load for a bearing. Very often bearing lubrication is found insufficient. All of these factors reduce the service life of bearings. The identification of insufficient lubrication or a source for a bearing damage is no great matter and done in a few minutes.

A detailed problem analysis is important. So it happens that engineers suspect a bearing damage, but gear problems are actually present. The bearings are replaced now, costs are incurred without eliminating the problem. Therefore it is essential to find the cause of the problem. Just changing a bearing where an imbalance or a misalignment is causing the problem does not solve the problem and the bearing will fail shortly again creating more cost.

Statistics show that insufficient bearing lubrication is the highest cause for most bearing damages. Finding lubrication problems is simple and fast with the CMT vibration and ultrasonic devices. A single measurement of only a few seconds gives information about the lubrication of the bearing. Avoid bearing damage and unnecessary costs without much effort.

Already at the first measurement simple pictograms show whether a lubrication problem, an unbalance, loose parts or a bearing damage is present.

With this unique measuring device, unskilled users can perform following more measurements:

• temperature

• speed measurement

• strobe scope

• stroboscope

In addition it incorporates a handy inspection torch.This single meter undertakes:

• overall vibration measurement

• three band spectrum

• Time Wave Form

• FFT spectrum

Vibration Meter is a revolutionary instrument with a completely new design! The operation of the instrument is so easy that anybody can learn to use it very quickly. The instrument uses the colours green, yellow and red to display the status. Determination of individual machine or bearings defect types is done directly during operation, without a need to use a computer or software.

Instruments in this cost-effective category have been able to measure only total vibration values so far. But the Vibration Meter is different. For each point on the machine this device produces many different measurements:

• overall RMS and PEAK velocity (10 – 1.000 Hz)

• overall RMS and PEAK acceleration (500 – 16.000 Hz)

• overall RMS and PEAK displacement (1 - 200 Hz)

• velocity spectrum (0 - 200 Hz)

• acceleration time signal (bearing fault detection in 500 – 16.000 Hz band)

• acceleration enveloping measurement

• automatic machine speed detection

• non-contact temperature measurement

• displacement measurement

CMT Vibration Meter is sold as complete set with a quality accelerometer, coiled cable, magnetic base, transit case and optional headphones. You can connect headphones to this instrument and listen to vibration signals. Do not consider this method out of date! If you measure transmissions or slow-running bearings, you will quickly understand its usefulness.

Some examples of the different modes:

Unbalance, looseness and misalignment, lubrication and bearing damages

This screen is all you need for a quick diagnosis. It gives an overview by traffic light of unbalance, looseness, misalignment, lubrication condition and damages of the bearing.

RPM is automatically detected and displayed at the bottom of the screen.

This screen has been introduced especially for users with no or limited experience in vibration analysis.

RMS Vibration levels

The device measures the RMS vibration level; and compare with the severity limits of ISO10816-3. Readings changes in Traffic Light colour when an exceeding occurs.

Bearing temperature is measured by infra-red and indicated in traffic light. An overheating of the bearing can be easily identified as a RED bar as shown in the figure (left side). Temperature reading in °C and °F is shown in another screen.

RPM is automatically detected and displayed at the bottom of the screen

Bearing fault detection

Vibration Meter measures the g-ENV, which represents the condition of the bearing. Vibration Meter also display the vibration time signal. You can visualize the vibration impact due to bearing fault by looking at its time signal. It is useful in differentiating whether the increase in g-ENV is due to bearing fault or just lack of lubrication. You can also listen to the vibration signal through the audio output, which is a proven technique for bearing fault detection especially for slow rotating machine.

39

Vibration Spectrum (FFT)

Vibration Meter measures the FFT spectrum in the range of 0-200 Hz and displays the most three dominates peaks including the velocity value in mm/s. The information is useful for detection of unbalance and looseness.

Stroboscope

The build-in stroboscope inside the Vibration Meter represents the unique innovation in the handheld vibration equipment. A high intensity LED is being used.

The stroboscope is very handy for inspection of rotating or moving machinery (belt, fan, coupler…). For example, missing screw can be seen without stopping the machine - can be a big cost saving. The device can automatically detect the rotating speed of the machine and freeze the movement by setting its flashing frequency the same as the rotating parts. Frequency can also be set manually.

Usng Headphones

The device does allow connecting headphones to this instrument and listen to vibration signals. Do not consider this method out of date! If you measure transmissions or slow-running bearings, you will quickly understand its usefulness. With a little bit of experience this will allow you to distinguish good bearings from bad bearings. You can also hear the gear mesh in case of gearboxes. Last but not least this is an excellent method to hear if a bearing is lubricated well. If you use this while lubricating your bearing you know exactly when the bearing is well lubricated. This avoids over or under lubrication which can both be critical for your equipment.

With its excellent attenuation, the The CMT Headphones offers unique acoustic performance in very high noise environments. The proven and durable design ensures high comfort levels, allowing long term use under very tough conditions.

CMT Vibration Monitor

The Vibration Monitor is a powerful online monitoring and diagnostics system

It was designed to increase the reliability of strategic rotating machinery. The Vibration Monitor system can operate as an independent monitoring system or it can be used as extension of an existing protection system. The Vibration Monitor system can be also used as multipurpose 16-channel analyser. Each Vibration Monitor module contains 16 AC, 16 DC and 4 TACHO inputs. All channels are measured simultaneously. The measurement parameters and data processing are the same as with the high end Vibration Monitor instrument. Single Vibration Monitor modules can be easily composed together creating a wide channel system.

The A3750 software is designed for the control of the data collection and archiving. Setting up the program allows to easily configure the required measurements. The software A3760 enables the real time online display of the current measurement values on the predefined channels. The DDS software system is designed for the follow up processing and archiving of all the collected data.

Acquisition Control is executed by the A3750 software package. The user defines time controlled groups (TCG). Each group is the set of measurements, which are taken in specified time intervals. By this way the user can collect some measurements every second, other every minute and others in next different time intervals. TCG is free run or can be triggered by any measurement, which exceeds the pre-defined limit. The data are finally saved to MS SQL Server database.

Optional a real time display with monitor, keyboard and mouse is available. This can display the overall values, frequency bands, time waveforms, spectra and amplitude- and phase values on speed frequencies.

Offshore installations and vessels have a variety of systems that require monitoring for either optimal performance, meeting current or forthcoming legislation and to minimize the risks to the crew or visitor’s Health and Safety on board.

With these in mind, a new range of CMT Marine Water Kits has been developed to assist and adhere with the above requirements.

The systems that will require monitoring are:

• Potable Water

• Sewage Water

• Boiler & Cooling Water

• Ballast Water (coming soon)

According the ever changing legislations CMT is permanently updating the range of Marine Water Test Kits to comply with the current legislations. Currently we are in the process to develop a monitoring equipment to test the ballast water.

Marine Water Test Kits

Potable water is our most important nutrient and is used for both drinking and cooking. The water being used for personal hygiene and all types of cleaning requires the same high quality. It is therefore important to have enough water of satisfactory quality to cover all types of usage.

International regulations regarding the Potable Water Quality Monitoring and Control were driven by the World Health Organization (WHO) via its International Health Regulations (IHR). Soon enough adapted for on-board potable water, as part of the overall Ship Sanitation Certificate.

MLC 2006 does apply to all seagoing vessels and is coming into force on 20th August 2013.

Monitoring and control compliance procedures are laid out in the Guide for Ship Sanitation detailing:

the systems that require monitoring,

the method and frequency of monitoring

the record keeping requirements

Simple regular assessment and testing of the potable water system for microbiological activity, biocide (disinfection control) and implementing a correct control scheme (i.e. temperature monitoring), will ultimately reduce the risk of a disease and save lives.

The CMT Marine Potable Water Test Kits were developed to offer rigs and vessels the complete monitoring solutions for their water systems, with the option of additional extras if required. Suitable control schemes with adequate testing & monitoring will aid with the compliance of the current ILO MLC (2006). These test kits provide real time analysis and simple to perform tests which require no specialist training.

According to ILO MLC (2006) also a qualified person is required on board the vessel or rig to perform the test. CMT provides a complete training for Marine Portable Water Tests to ensure the attendee is qualified to perform all test according the legislations. At the end of the training each attendee will get a certificate proving the respective qualification.

The CMT Marine Water Test Solutions comply with:

• MLC (2006)

• WHO International Health Regulations (2005)

• ILO 178 (2009)

• European Drinking Water Regulations

• Norwegian Drinking Water Regulations (applies for ALL ships calling Norwegian ports!)

Potable water can contain Microbes that cause infectious disease or food poisoning, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. Recent high profile legionella on board ships has highlighted issues of crew and passenger health and safety, particularly in respect of microbiological contamination.

Simple, regular testing of the above systems for micro-organisms like legionella, coli forms, e. Coli and pseudomonas will reduce risks and help keep employees healthy.

The CMT Marine Potable Water Quality Test Kit allows you to test for the most critical bacteria’s as well as the main quality parameters. The test kit allows to test the following parameters:

• Total number of bacteria (TVC)

• Coli forms and E. coli

• Pseudomonas

• pH value

• Conductivity

• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

• Temperature

Full Compliance Option:

To allow full compliance with international regulations MLC (2006) and ILO 178 including local regulations like the Norwegian Drinking Water Regulations it is essential to do some additional testing not included in the CMT Potable Water Test Kit. Those tests will be provided with the Full Compliance Option from CMT. It is also essential to have a proper record keeping which can be done with the CMT log book provided with the manual in the standard kit. International regulations further specify that a trained person needs to be on-board each vessel or rig to perform the tests. CMT does provide different seminars ensuring proper qualification. A certificate will document the respective qualification. You will find our seminar program at the end of this catalogue.

CMT has developed options for the Marine Potable Water Test Kit which are not needed in general but only if you have certain risk factors. The sanitizer options are depending on which system is used on-board.

Once the potable water is produced or bunkered it is essential to keep the water free of bacteria. There are different ways of treating the water. One common way is to use the ultraviolet light source to remove any possible bacteria before the water is distributed and consumed. Alternatively the water can be ionized with Silver Ions with the advantage of keeping silver ions in the water to deal with any possible bacteria until the water is consumed. Most effective and also very common is to treat the water with chemicals to keep it free of bacterial growth during storage and distribution. Most common on-board seagoing vessels is Chlorine or Chlorine dioxide.

If you use chemicals as sanitizer you will need in addition one of our sanitizer options – depending on what chemical you are using. CMT also provides an option to test for Hardness or Chloride.

There are four sanitizer options available:

Chlorine Comparator Option

Chlorine Drop Test Option

Chlorine Dioxide Option

Silver Ion Option

To measure the effectiveness of treatment chemicals it is important to measure the amount of available chemical to deal with the bacteria.

Therefore CMTs test devices allow to measure the free Chlorine and the free Silver Ions what is not possible in a laboratory since the free ions will be combined once the sample has arrived in the lab. Therefore it is essential to measure this on-board. In a lab it is only possible to measure the combined or total chemical which can be measured on board as well to avoid any health risk or bad taste of the water.

Legionella is a bacteria which can cause a pneumonia-like disease called “Legionnaires’ Disease”. Infection occurs when the bacteria is inhaled from aerosols of contaminated water. Aerosols can be produced anywhere water is splashed or sprayed but some of the most common sources associated with Legionnaires’ Disease are showers.

Within the Legionella genus there are approximately 50 different species. Several of these can cause infections in people, however worldwide over 90% of infections are caused by a single species: Legionella pneumophila. Within particular “serogroup 1” of pneumophila causing the vast majority (>80%) of all cases, and being implicated in virtually all major outbreaks.

The Legionella Field Test is a breakthrough technology from CMT for the rapid detection of Legionella bacteria in marine potable water systems– delivering test results in minutes instead of days. The test kit contains everything required to perform 10 tests – including sample collection containers and disposable pipettes.

• Optimised for use with hot and cold water systems on-board ships.

• Simple to use and fast, with no interpretation required.

• Results are easy to read and obtained within 25 minutes.

• No chemicals to measure or handle.• Immediate understanding and

response to the water conditions.• Reduce risk of outbreaks and

litigation.• Increase confidence in your

Legionella control.

The CMT Legionella Field Test uses an immunochromatographic assay, to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria in a sample. The presence of antigen causes the “Test Line” to turn red in colour. A “Control Line” is included which should always turn red if the test has been performed correctly.

CMT has developed further options for the Marine Potable Water Test Kit to test for water properties.

Conductivity is an indirect measure of total dissolved solids. Typical values (approximately) for untreated distillates is 50 µS/cm. Water from shore sources should have around 500 µS/cm. Seawater has about 50,000 µS/cm. Therefore high conductivity could be an indication for seawater ingress. Too low conductivity should trigger evaluation of corrosive processes in the piping and existiong of heavy metals due to corrosion.

Ideal pH value depends on the materials used. A pH value above 8 does not allow effective water disinfection with chlorine and gives evidence that self produced water may not be re-mineralized adequately. Further assessment of water quality should be performed.

Chloride is a clear evidence of seawater in the potable water. Normal values are between 10 - 30 ppm. Values above 250 ppm dose give the potable water a salty taste and should therefore be avoided.

Hardness below 60 mg/l poses high risk of copper corrosion. Too low hardness should trigger evaluation of corrosive processes in the piping and existing of heavy metals in the potable water due to corrosion.

2. Marine Sewage Water Test Kits

MARPOL Annex IV, as adopted in resolution MEPC.115(51), which entered into force on 27th September 2008, applies to ships on international voyages which are:

• 400gt and greater; or

• Less than 400gt when certified to carry more than 15 persons, which includes passengers and crew

The effluent standards and performance tests, as adopted in resolution MEPC.159(55), which entered into force on 1st January 2010, applies to ships having a sewage effluent plant installed or delivered and ships with a keel laid date on or after 1st January 2010.

Ships with a keel laid date and ships with an existing sewage effluent plant before the 1st January 2010 will require the plant certified to either the 1976 standards contained in MEPC.2(IV) or an applicable national specification.

For vessels visiting countries that have ratified to MARPOL Annex IV, these vessels will need to demonstrate compliance with the regulations, with the relevant certification (ISPPC).

ISPPC (International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate) are issued upon successful inspection and are valid for 5 years.

For renewal and random inspections, maintaining the system operating requirements in line with the effluent standards will be required. With this in mind, the CMT Marine Sewage Effluent Test Kit will provide simple and accurate testing for

• BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand),

• Chlorine (Free),

• COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand),

• Coliform Bacteria,

• pH Total Suspended Solids.

In line with new IMO / MARPOL regulations, CMT has developed a simple and effective way to test sewage water onboard. The test is a requirement to be executed before you are allowed to enter many ports today, also it will be compulsory across the whole globe.

The discharge of raw sewage into the sea can create a health hazard, while in coastal areas sewage can also lead to oxygen depletion and an obvious visual pollution.

Environmental issues are still a hot topic these days. The shipping community expresses its concern about the ecosystem and the pollution of the seas. In this market where low freight rates, new rules and regulations and a higher customer demand are pressuring our business-results, we still desire to comply with new rules and regulations but preferably in a cost-effective and efficient way

3. Cooling and Boiler Water Test Kits

Engine cooling systems contain carefully blended additives that prevent scale deposits and corrosion of engine waterways. It is very important that the concentration of the additive is maintained at the correct level for optimum protection.

Every industry that operates boiler and cooling water systems – ranging from power plants, vessles or other industrial plants – needs to regularly test the water to analyze a number of parameters. This is imperative as it avoids corrosion and malfunction. CMT offers the ideal solution for all specific requirements.

CMT is dedicated to providing our customers with the most convenient, reliable and secure systems for all analyses purposes. To specifically serve all industries that employ or deal with

boiler and cooling water systems, our new range of test kits has been developed.

CMT supply treatment test kits for engine cooling water and steam boiler water. The kits are very simple to operate and will enable the ships engineer to monitor scale and corrosion inhibitor concentrations. Regular testing will allow rapid corrective action to take place helping you to maintain optimum operating conditions, minimise down-time and reduce energy costs.

Low and medium pressure steam boilers are treated with special corrosion and scale inhibitors. It is vitally important to maintain precise levels of these additives to ensure correct and efficient steam generation. Failure to regularly maintain and monitor treatments will inevitable end in system failure and expensive corrective maintenance.

Regular condition monitoring of machinery is key to effective predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance techniques help determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance should be performed. A carefully planned condition monitoring system prevents machinery failure and avoids damages to your business operation.

At least for the foreseeable future it is unlikely that there will be a complete condition monitoring solution, monitoring oil and engine condition and detecting problems at an early stage using a single sensor with a simple display. The combination of different condition monitoring systems into one system allows more cost-effective predictive maintenance. The best overall machinery monitoring program is one that utilizes multiple, integrated monitoring technologies.

This is why we have developed the CMT Monitoring System combining well known sensor technologies into a product monitoring your assets 24/7.

The CMT Condition Monitoring System is an integrated and flexible condition based maintanance (CBM) solution for critical plant such as a wind turbine gearbox, oil rigs, thruster systems and other. Designed to be easily installed the CMT Monitoring System offers multi tiered alarms alerting the user of any problems instantly. Greatly flexible the system is fully scalable allowing monitoring of a lot of different machinery. It allows the integration of existing CM systems and can even be easily upgraded to include further additional critical systems afterwards.

The solution is based on the proven range of CMT condition monitoring products and services, including robust on-line technology for vibration analysis, lubricant monitoring and data gathering. CMTs services include turnkey installation, commissioning, remote data analysis, draft of machinery condition reports, as well as suggestions for reliability improvements based on the gathered data.

CMTs Monitoring System helps operators because it provides the basis for proactive maintenance and operational decisions based on the actual machinery condition.

The CMT Monitoring Solution is a modular system which allows an adaption to your requirements and system conditions. The main components are:

• PLC Based Central Unit (1 per system)

• Control Panel (1 .... n per system)

• Vibration Monitor (0 .... n per system)

• Oil Sensor Box (0 .... n per system)

• Torque Meter (0 .... n per system)

Additionally it can read any existing performance data from your plant.

The Central unit is the hub of the system and therefore each solution needs one of these. All other components can be duplicated as needed. The Vibration Monitor, the Torque Meter and the Oil Sensor Box are optional.

3. CMS Options

Vibration monitoring is the most common method for condition monitoring. However, also this technology does have its limitations and should therefore be only one part of a complete monitoring system.

Each Vibration Monitor module contains 16 AC, 16 DC and 4 TACHO inputs. All 16 channels are measured simultaneously. The CMT condition monitoring system can operate with several Vibration Monitor units. For a high number of vibrational measuring points CMT does provide a Multiplex unit allowing to connect up to 64 vibration sensors to one Vibration Monitor unit. With the Multiplex unit 4 times 16 points are measured in sequences.

he Vibration Monitor can measure the acceleration in up to 16 different places simultaneously. At the same time it can measure up to 4 different rotational speeds. A real time spectral analysis is provided to get the acceleration and velocity in a high resolution spectrum with up to 56,000 lines. Furthermore the enveloped signal is analysed.

The Vibration Monitor can measure the acceleration in up to 16 different places simultaneously. At the same time it can measure up to 4 different rotational speeds. A real time spectral analysis is provided to get the acceleration and velocity in a high resolution spectrum with up to 56,000 lines. Furthermore the enveloped signal is analysed.

Data is transferred via an OPC server to the Control Panel. At the control panel RMS values are shown only at a very narrow band at fault frequencies for the bearings or at the gear mesh frequency. To detect threats to the general system condition like imbalances, loose feet or misalignments the velocity is monitored at nominal, double and triple rotational speed frequency.

This allows the end user to trend single numbers instead of evaluating expert level FFT diagrams. A customisable traffic light alarm system is being used for a simple and understandable display of the condition.

Vibration Monitor

Condition Monitoring tools have become smaller, lighter, faster and more sophisticated in recent years. Functionality that once was limited to a computer in an office can now be easily done in the field with the right CM analysis tool. It is now possible to do complete equipment analysis at the machine.

The best overall machinery monitoring program is one that utilizes multiple, integrated monitoring technologies that are well-suited to detect expected failures modes.

The hub components of the CMT Monitoring System have no measuring functionality of themselves because they are taking care of the various input signals and data services.

The actual readings of the different indicators are being

handled by options which can be combined freely according to our customers needs.

Currently available standard options are:

• Lubrication oil parameters• Vibration Monitoring• Torque / Power Monitoring

The system allows to add any number of inputs from other control systems already in use. This allows a complete condition and performance monitoring of your equipment.

Various different interfaces are available to read in analog or digital third party signals.

Oil Sensor Box

Consisting of a combination of oil sensors, the Oil Sensor box has been developed to offer real-time monitoring of oil on critical plant such as a wind turbine gearbox. The Sensor Box makes frequent inspections of remote oil and machine health a feasible option. The risk of sampling error is eliminated and data from the sensors can be streamed via any network system, allowing remote monitoring and increasingly effective maintenance planning.

Designed for mounting into the lubrication system of a machine, the sensor box reports optional metallic particle, oil condition, moisture content of the oil or viscosity. The Sensor Box is part of the CMT Thruster Monitor System.

Torque Meter

The CMT Torque Meter is a permanent monitoring system which continuously measures the shaft (effective) torque, and RPM. The torque meter itself consists of two metal strips with a magnetic pattern, two sensors and a transmitter. It is 24 V (DC) powered, with 2 x 4-20mA current outputs, a pulse RPM output and a serial port (RS232 or USB).

The CMT Torque Meter Software has been developed to enable ship owners to monitor the energy efficiency performance of their ships to comply with the SEEMP demands. SEEMP, designed by the IMO to encourage best practices for the fuel efficient operation of ships, has become mandatory from January 2013. It is a requirement for all owners and operators of ships over 400 GT to detail measures that are being implemented to reduce fuel consumption and thus lower greenhouse gases and other emissions.

4. Application Specific Solutions

The CMT Condition Monitoring System is modular and flexible and can be used for monitoring most equipment. On the other hand this means a lot of customising for each application taking time and adding cost to the system.

To help our customers to find the right solution for their systems CMT has come up with standard application specific solutions. These innovations are already specified to our best knowledge of the equipment and can be used by our

customers as off the shelf solution if they do not want to invest in a fully customized system.

Although specifically put together they still can be modified to meet your exact monitoring requirements. At the same time they combine our experience from previous similar monitoring tasks and installations to give you the best monitoring performance.

CMT Liner Monitor

The CMT Liner Monitor is providing an early warning of an impending critical engine damage due to mechanical or corrosive wear. Furthermore the information provided can be used to optimise your cylinder oil consumption.

Trials show that Liner Monitor highlights the first signs of damage earlier than other systems and enables a safe reduction of the lubricant feed rate. At the same time it monitors any acid corrosion problem inside the combustion chamber. Liner Monitor is an automated system helping you to save money by optimizing the lubricant feed rate while avoiding any acid corrosion. It reduces your maintenance costs and helps to prevent unnecessary engine damage.

CMT’s Liner Monitor system is designed to remove the uncertainty of not knowing if there is any cylinder damage resulting from low fuel quality, slow steaming, low or high sulphur levels, lower oil feed rates and cylinder oil formulation changes.

The picture shows a typical installation place for the Liner Monitor Benefits:

• Enables safe reduction of cylinder oil feed rates while keeping the acid corrosion under control.

• Reduce engine damage by spotting the first signs of scuffing, piston ring damage or other wear problems.

• Gives an early indication about CAT fines related problems.

• Allows an informed running-in process based on real wear data.

• Simple installation for both new and retrofit.

The propulsion units of a vessel or rig are inspected via regular checks and are protected by standard alarm systems.

The alarm will only indicate that the condition has reached an unacceptable level, in which case the system must be stopped for maintenance. Regular checks carried out every 2.5 to 5 years, as prescribed by the appropriate class society, may visualize a changing condition. However, in order to enable effective preventative actions to be taken before serious breakdowns occur, it is worthwhile having a CMS of the propulsion and steering devices. At sea, the distance between the operational areas, harbours, or docking facilities, are wide, and docking facilities are not even always available. There are, sometimes, possibilities to employ underwater exchangeable thrusters, but such downtime interrupts the operation and is not always affordable. In offshore operations, this type of work causes a tremendous loss of production.

In addition to the control and alarm system, it is recommended having a CMS that uses accelerometers, oil sensors, and signals from the existing sensors for the controls.

CMT Offshore Wind Turbine Monitor

Renewable energy sources like wind energy are copiously available without any limitation. Wind turbines are used to tap the potential of wind energy, which is available in millions of of megawatts.

Reliability of a wind turbine is critical to extract the maximum amount of energy from the wind.

The operational cost of offshore wind turbines are very high. For offshore wind energy the cost for operation and maintenance are estimated at about 1/3 of the cost of electricity.

The revenue losses for offshore wind turbines can be significant whereas for onshore projects the revenue losses are negligible.

To reduce the cost for corrective maintenance condition monitoring and

diagnostic practices have become a significantly important part especially for offshore wind farms in order to cut down operation and maintenance costs.

The challenge is to enable Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy to be implemented to provide maintenance decisions and services at the right time.

Offshore wind turbines will benefit most from the fact that with early fault detection, repairs can be better planned. This will lead to shorter downtimes and less revenue losses. Condition monitoring is important for early fault detection to prevent any catastrophic conditions due to sudden breakdowns.


CMS-CT-13010

Offshore Wind Turbine Monitor

CMT Offshore Wind Turbine Monitor combines vibration analysis with oil condition monitoring. Performance data can be monitored at the same time.

Data can easily be monitored from remote locations. Alarms are generated automatically and can be sent by email or SMS.

Sampling Solutions

One of the most important aspects of any oil analysis program is the sampling method and the sampling equipment used. The sample needs to be representative for the total amount and uncontaminated. Oil samples are required for regulatory analysis but also for commercial and regulatory purposes.

A representative oil sample will provide an accurate representation of the contaminants, additives, oxidation, particulates and wear condition. If a sample does not represent the real condition of the oil and component at the time of sampling, the reliability of both the test result and it’s interpretation is in doubt.

Representative fuel oil samples are required for both regulatory and commercial purposes. Crucial aspects of the sampling process include taking the sample, the sampling location and witnessing the process.

CMT’s sampling solutions provide you with everything you need to easily gather an uncontaminated, representative sample of your running liquids.

Using a so called drip sampler is the most common and economic way to obtain a representative sample according MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI.

Our bunker samplers are:

• manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality assurance standards.

• compliant with IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI helping you to stay within the legal requirements for bunker fuel sampling.

• weight optimized.

• simple to install on all common flanges between 2” and 14”.

• one size sampler can be used on most common different standard flanges even for different pressure. .

.In cases where you have a negative pressure at the point of sampling please use our automatic samplers

Material: Stainless Steel 1.4571 / 316TiNominal Flange Thickness: 25/26 mmTotal Thickness (Including gaskets): 31/32 mm

Selecting the Correct Size of Drip Type Bunker Sampler

Select the nearest size Bunker Sampler with an outer diameter smaller than the flanges Pitch Circle Diameter minus the flanges Bolt Hole Diameter.

The inner diameter must be larger than the Nominal Pipe Size of the flange.

2. Fuel Sampler

Normally samplers are installed at the ships manifold between the manifold flange and the flange from the bunker hose.

However, sometimes it is more practical to install the sampling device permanently at a different place. The CMT Fuel Sampler is designed to be installed direct into an existing fuel pipe.

It can easily be removed for cleaning. After initial installation the fuel line can be used with or without the sampler being inserted.

Benefits:

• Designed specifically for fuel oils• Easy retrofit• Service pipes from 2 inch up to 14

Especially bigger vessels are facing the problem of negative pressure at the bunker manifold. Traditional Drip Samplers cannot be used here. They need a positive pressure to allow the sample to flow into the sample container by gravity. The solution is the Automatic Fuel Sampler which does work with vacuum up to -0.8 bar.

The Automatic Sampler is connected to the main bunker line by a flexible hose for the mobile solution or by pipe fittings for the permanent installed version. After start it will automatically sample into the cubitainer and stop after the preset bunker time. The sampler can sample into all size bottles or cubitainers. On special request we can provide a version which can sample into up to 5 individual sample bottles simultaneously or in a sequence. For highest flexibility

the sampler can either be mounted on a trolley or permanently installed next to the manifold.

The standard version works as time proportional sampler ensuring a representative sample. For applications with changing flow rates we also offer a flow proportional version.

Because of ATEX regulations the sampler does not use electricity. All our samplers are pneumatically driven with normal working air between 6 and 8 bar. The samplers can be used under all weather conditions. All fittings are made from stainless steel AISI 316, designed and produced to survive in a harsh environment.

This Automatic Fuel Sampler is mounted on a trolley to easy restore after bunkering. The waterproof sampler is equipped with a flushing tank and made of stainless steel. It does have a DNV type approval and complies with MARPOL Annex VI.

The sampler is also available as a wall mounted version

The heavy duty sampler can be installed right on the manifold. It is fully pneumatic driven with bunker timer and does have an automatic stop function. This model is also produced in a low temperature version.

This very advanced automatic Fuel Sampler, which can sample into 4 bottles simultaneously, is very popular on bunker barges but is also used on merchant ships.

The sampler can sample under all conditions even with very high negative pressure in the bunker line and does give you four most representative samples. This sampler is optional also available for 5 bottles.

The sampler is also available as a vertical wall mounted version.

In addition to the Type 50 specification it does come with a circulating pump to have a heating functionality. It does also have a DNV type approval and complies with MARPOL Annex VI.

Sample Bottles - CMT produce a range of HDPE (translucent) and PET (clear)sample bottles for fuel oil and lubricants. They are designed to allow sampling hot oils. Sample Bottles are supplied in sizes from 50 ml to 1000 ml.

Sample Bottle Labels - CMT does provide self adhesive, pre-printed labels for fuel or lube oil samples. Lable for bunker fuel samples are according MARPOL regulations.

Clear Over Labels - Clear self adhesive, over labels to protect label and user annotations.

Cubitainers - fuel samplers use disposable ‘cubitainers’. These hold the oil sample before mixing and transfer to the sample bottles and keep out all external contamination.

Bottle Shoulder and Valve Seal - Some authorities, for example the Port of Singapore, require that the sample flow rate is fixed throughout the bunkering period. The Bottle Shoulder and Valve Seal can be used for securing the valve as well as sealing the bottles for storage.

Cubitainer Adapter - The Cubitainer Adapter allow to use CMT Cubitainers on bunker samplers from other manufacturers like DNVPS. Other version to use the CMT drip sampler with customized sampling container are available on request.

Sampler Gauge - On bigger vessels the oil often falls several meters down from the ships manifold into the fuel oil storage tank. This can result in unusual pressure conditions. The pressure often becomes negative. A gauge is available for monitoring this to prevent the sample being drawn back into the line.

Elbow Kits - For alternative positions CMT does provide a special elbow kit to position the sampler at an angle to the vertical. Elbow kits allow to keep the cubitainer bag hanging vertically..

1. Basic Oil Seminar

Oil is used in various different applications and does have different tasks to fullfill.

Lubrications oil is use to avoid friction between moving parts. Hydraulic oil is used to transmit forces. Oils are also expected to cool or to avoid contaminations to harm the engine. Oils in modern equipment are complex and expensive liquids. It is therefore important to understand and maintain the oil.

Lube oil is the life blood of your engine!

Training Topics

• Introduction

• Basic tribology

• Friction, wear and lubrication

• Life-cycle of the oil

• Sampling and sample handling

• Trend analysis in laboratories

• Interpretation of results

• On-site testing - blessing or burden

• Frequencies of testing

Oil can tell us long stories about the performance of the equipment. It is essential to be able to read and understand this valuable information. It also tells us a story about itself. Oil does age and might need to be replaced when it does come to the end of its lifetime. However, similar to a human there is no predefined lifetime for an oil. It is a waste of money to change oil too early and a big risk to wait too long. Only the oil itself can tell us whether it is still fit for further use or should be replaced.

It is an essential part of the maintenance process to analyse the oil.

Potable water is our most important nutrient and is used for both drinking and cooking.

The water being used for personal hygiene and all types of cleaning requires the same high quality. It is therefore important to have enough water of satisfactory quality to cover all types of usage.

Safe potable water secures good health!

Training Topics

• Introduction into potable water

• Risks for fresh water supply and making on board

• Hazardous contaminations (microbes / chemical elements)

• Different methods of disinfection

• Legionella and other bacteria

• Legislation framework (MLC 2006 / IHR)

• Risk Management and Water Safety Plan

• Ship owners / masters duties

• Water testing: What, When, Where, Why?

• How to use on-board test kits

International regulations regarding the Potable Water Quality Monitoring and Control were driven by the World Health Organization (WHO) via its International Health Regulations (IHR). Soon enough adapted for on-board potable water, as part of the overall Ship Sanitation Certificate.

Monitoring and control compliance procedures are laid out in the Guide for Ship Sanitation detailing:

• the systems that require monitoring,

• the method and frequency of monitoring

• the record keeping requirements

The draft guidelines were created in close collaboration with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

Alongside SOLAS, MARPOL and the STCW Convention the MLC, 2006 has been introduced as the fourth pillar of the regulatory regime of IMO. It will require an MLC 2006 certificate and enters into force 2012.

Cylinder oil in a main engine has two main tasks. It should lubricate the engine to have an acceptable low wear level and it has to neutralize the sulphuric acid to avoid unexpected acid corrosion in the liner.

By analysing scrapedown oil collected from the scavenge space shipboard personnel are able to monitor the condition of the engine’s cylinders and detect changes as they occur.

Improve the efficiency of your engine!

Training Topics

• Introduction into Cylinder Drain Oil Management.

• Cylinder Oil

• How is a cylinder lubricated / piston running conditions / different lubrication systems

• Cylinder wear, types of wear and how is it detected and measured / monitored

• Low / high sulphur fuel – what does sulphur in respect of the lubrication regime? Legislations

• The sulphur / base balance – optimise the feed rate

• Cylinder Drain Oil Analysis – onshore / on board

• Sampling the drain oil, how and when

• Interpreting results and taking actions

• Field experience

• Open discussion

OEM Testimonial:

“It is MAN’s experience that, in addition to regular scavenge port inspections; drip oil analysis can be a very useful tool to monitor combustion and cylinder condition. Drip oil analysis can detect changes in cylinder liner wear and help with cylinder oil feed rate optimization programs.”

Wärtsilä Switzerland: “Measuring the total iron content of piston underside oil provides a very valuable feedback of the piston running conditions in each cylinder, and allows the operator to optimise cylinder oil feed rates for a specific set of operating conditions.”

CMT Vibration Analysis Sensors and Condition Monitoring Systems are designed for harsh marine environments. Vibration analysis can be easily and quickly applied by engineers on board your vessel!

Vibration monitoring can be classified in three categories, Broad band vibration (ISO 10816), Vibration analysis in the frequency domain and Acoustic Emissions – (ISO 22096).

Improve the efficiency of your equipment!

Training Topics

• Introduction into Vibration Analysis Monitoring

• Differences between Vibration and Acoustic Monitoring

• Finding lubrication problems

• Open discussion

The power of Vibration Analysis lies in the fact that it directly detects the physical processes such as friction, impacts and metal removal associated with failure. CMT Vibration Analysis testing can be applied to virtually any rotating machinery. This includes those equipment traditionally difficult to measure such as slow speed machinery and complex gearboxes.

5. Diesel Performance

The challenge of upholding a maintenance regime on board ships is to protect the vessel against costly downtime. It is important to detect defects early enough to avoid serious problems resulting in downtimes. Engine maintenance can be planned, thus saving in parts and labor by changing engine parts based on need, not based on timing intervals.

Monitoring diesel engine performance by conventional “draw card” methods, along with planimeter calculations, is time consuming and subject to human error. Unfortunately engine efficiency still suffers from timing problems and load imbalances that occur and remain undetected between scheduled maintenance.

Slow or late combustion is one of the most common problems in diesel engine operation. Balancing the cylinder load extends engine life, increases efficiency, and reduces emissions to assist with environmental compliance. Proper ignition timing reduces the exhaust gas temperature and rate of excess carbon build-up. Tuning the engine may reduce specific fuel oil consumption resulting in significant savings.

Improve the efficiency of your engine!

Training Topics

• Introduction into Diesel Engine Performance Analysis

• Defining different pressures and angles calculate indicated power

• Identification of problems by using the pressure / angle and pressure / volume diagram
