Type Approval for Engine Lube Metal Detector
01 Nov 2005
The AMOT MPD metal detector, which prevents engine failure by spotting metal particles in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other problems, has received a DNV Type Approval certificate. It covers application Class B for operating temperatures from 5 to 700C and up to 100% humidity, with 'on-engine' vibration and IP44 enclosure.
Designed to avoid unnecessary repairs and minimise downtime, the recently introduced device is easily installed on the bypass pipe of the system on reciprocating equipment such as diesel engines.
Requiring minimal maintenance, the compact unit has no moving parts and a corrosion resistant anodised aluminium body, with stainless steel available for use in environments where required. Its grid sensing technology detects all conductive materials, including non-metallic particles, in non-conductive fluid lubrication systems. Used either with AMOT’s MPD controller or an appropriate alternative controller, it converts maintenance into a continuously predictive rather than reactive process.
