Oil Mist Detection System Kidde Graviner MK7
The Graviner MK7 is an auto addressed Oil Mist Detector. It can monitor up to 10 Detectors heads per control unit, on up to 10 control units, where each of the detector heads monitors a single crank space. To monitor 1 to 10 Detectors an engine mounted control unit can be configured. The control unit sets all alarm levels and alarm output as per the requirements, or from the optional display unit.
The signal from each detector can be seen from the touch screen display, which shows and indicates the oil mist level for each engine. When there is an alarm, the Graviner MK7 Display shows the oil mist signals for the correct engine. Each connected detector to an engine can be displayed on demand, and displayed automatically under alarm conditions.
Some of the benefits of using Graviner Mk 7 OMD system are:
- It can monitor up to 10 detector heads per control unit and up to 10 control units per single system, making it suitable for multi-engine systems.
- It can be used for both 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines.
- It eliminates the need for sample pipes, reducing installation costs and maintenance issues.
- It has an engine mounted Control Unit that provides local control and indication, and a Remote Display Unit that shows the oil mist levels for each engine in a safe area, typically the Engine Control Room (ECR).
- It uses a light scattering technique to measure the oil mist density and compares it with a pre-set alarm level, giving early warning of a rise in oil mist density and potential explosive conditions.
