Updated intelligent system for continuous industrial oil-monitoring
MAN Energy Solutions has introduced a new version of its continuous engine-oil-monitoring tool MAN Fluid Monitor (MFM), originally launched in 2020.
The company has extended the application of the oil-monitoring technology to two-stroke engines (bearing-lubrication circuit) – a key sector for the merchant marine industry.
The product is described as a multi-brand, original equipment manufacturer solution capable of monitoring engines of different generations, configurations and fuels. Fleet managers can use the same tool and approach to monitor the health of engines across a fleet.
The company says its new monitor retains all the features of its predecessor, with real-time, continuous monitoring of engine-oil condition enabling the immediate detection of any irregularities and the prevention of failures before they affect production. When an anomaly is detected at an early stage of initiation, the system generates an alert for the operator, accompanied by technical recommendations to prevent any further degradation that might lead to major damage and unplanned plant shutdowns.
“Oil contamination is a reflection of deteriorating engine health. The MAN Multi Fluid Monitor thus moves from being a specialised solution for four-stroke engines to one that can be applied globally, including to two-stroke engines and other industrial equipment. The system has already been installed on several hundred engines of different brands worldwide and is proving its worth,” said MAN Energy Solutions: France president Arnauld Filancia.
A smartphone app, designed to deliver technical recommendations and maintenance manuals, is currently being tested for launch in the near future.
