New fluid monitor for lube oil from MAN Energy Solutions

Designed “to meet the needs of the owners of industrial installations where lube-oil quality is a critical setting,” the MAN Fluid Monitor for lube oil enables owners to actively monitor – on an ongoing basis – the degradation and contamination of lube oil and protect their industrial assets.

A “light and robust system” developed by MAN Energy Solutions, the monitor has already proven in the field that it immediately detects “even the tiniest anomalies in the lube-oil systems” of four stroke engines, turbomachinery and auxiliary equipment.

MAN Energy Solutions said the fluid monitor has recorded over 18,000 test hours on pilot industrial sites, complies with CE standards and has been certified by Bureau Veritas marine applications. It has also received its very first order for third-party equipment in the Pacific region.

Arnauld Filancia, Vice President of MAN Energy Solutions, said: “We know that lube oil is the life blood of an engine and that 70 per cent of major damage reveals lube-oil contamination. We wanted to develop a global monitoring solution capable of conforming to the demands of all rotating machines – such as four stroke engines, and turbomachinery – and whatever the application, whether it be marine, power plants, or anything else.”

He added the new fluid monitor is the result of targeted research on operational security and is part of MAN Energy Solutions’ continuing effort “to design easy-to-implement solutions that enhance installation performance and security”.
