splash-oil-temperature monitoring

Experience MAN B&W Diesel AG introduced splash-oil-temperature monitoring as safety

system on engines in 1999 (see figures 1 and 2). Since then, this system was
subsequently installed in more than 150 engines and is also used as
standard safety equipment in our four -stroke Diesel engines since the end of
2002. During the 6 years of operating experience, the splash-oil system
proved to be extremely reliable and required only minor maintenance. More
than once, it saved the running gear from severe damage. The special
advantage of the splash-oil system is that any disturbance in normal
operation, which causes an oil temperature increase, is recognised reliably
and promptly. The splash-oil system is unable to prevent disturbances in
normal operation, It is, however, able to minimise the extent of possibly
severe damage.

Reason Although the splash-oil system proved to be absolutely reliable in practical

operation, we had to note now and then that the importance of the splash oil
emergency stop is underrated. No matter how efficient a system may be, it
only works if alarms and stops are taken seriously and promptly responded
to.

Measures We would like to point out that in the case of an engine stop, triggered by the
splash-oil temperature monitoring system, exact examinations have to be
carried out by the operators until the cause for the emergency stop is found.

Recommendation For engines, which are not equipped with the splash-oil system yet, we
would be pleased to submit you an offer for the subsequent installation of
this system. In this connection, please see our Diesel Customer Information
CUS 175 issued in 2000.
