Monitoring System Protects Engine Bearings
The AMOT XTSW bearing condition monitoring system has achieved another major success by being installed on a newly built container ship for Hapag Lloyd. This is the first 'new build' XTSW installation, following many initial cases of being retrofitted to existing engines. The Hanover Express, a 8749 TEU container ship, was built by Hyundai.
It also has the distinction of having the first XTSW system installed with an electronic MAN engine, type 12K98 ME.
The XTSW system provides real-time monitoring of the crank train bearings in large two-stroke diesel engines, providing an early warning of bearing wear and avoiding dangerous and catastrophic bearing failures.It can also eliminate the need for open out inspections, which are both costly and a major cause of crank train bearing failures.
User-proven to maximise revenue and reduce costs, it assesses bearing rate of degradation, allowing corrective action to avoid costly unplanned repairs and revenue loss and the most cost-effective planned maintenance.
