Why do we need oil analysis and online monitoring?

Key components or links:

Main engine and auxiliary engine

The main engine (diesel engine) and auxiliary engine (generator, air compressor, etc.) of the ship are the power sources of the ship. The quality of lubricating oil directly affects its operating efficiency and reliability.

Gearbox

The propulsion system of the ship is usually equipped with a gearbox to transfer the power of the main engine to the propeller. The lubricating oil of the gearbox is under extremely high mechanical load and needs to be monitored regularly.

Hydraulic system

The ship’s steering gear, anchor windlass, crane and other equipment rely on the hydraulic system to work. The quality of hydraulic oil directly affects the performance and safety of these equipment.

Lubrication system

All kinds of mechanical equipment of the ship need lubrication, and the quality of oil directly affects the operation of the equipment

Ensure navigation safety

When the ship is sailing at sea, equipment failure may cause the ship to lose power or control ability, seriously affecting navigation safety. Through oil monitoring, potential problems can be discovered in advance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Extend equipment life

The mechanical equipment of the ship usually operates in a harsh marine environment, and the lubricating oil is easily affected by pollutants such as seawater and salt spray. Through oil analysis, these problems can be discovered in time and the service life of the equipment can be extended.

The risks of not monitoring your oil

Main engine failure

The main engine is the power source of the ship. If the lubricating oil is aged or seriously contaminated, it may cause the main engine to overheat, wear and tear, and even cause serious mechanical failures, causing the ship to lose power and affect navigation safety.

Hydraulic system failure

Oil contamination in the hydraulic system may cause valve jamming, slow response and other problems, affecting the ship's control performance and even causing safety accidents.

Gearbox damage

The gearbox is a key component of the ship's propulsion system. Lubricating oil contamination may cause the gearbox to fail prematurely, affecting the ship's navigation ability and economy.

Delayed sailing plan

Equipment failure may cause the ship to stop sailing, delay the sailing plan, and affect cargo transportation and ship schedules.
