Graviner-Mk5
A Graviner Mk5 Oil Mist Detector, another crucial safety device used on large marine and stationary diesel engines.
📖 Overview:
The Graviner Mk5 is a well-established system for continuously monitoring crankcase atmospheres for oil mist, much like the Daihatsu MD-9M you showed earlier. Its role is to detect early signs of overheating or mechanical failure that could produce oil mist — a dangerous precursor to crankcase explosions.
📌 Key Features Visible Here:
-
Digital display with LED bar graph indicating mist density across multiple crankcase zones
-
Indicator LEDs for Normal, Warning, and Alarm conditions
-
Control push buttons for operations like test/reset
-
Multi-channel sampling ports underneath for connecting pipes from crankcase sampling points
-
Wired power and signal connectors
⚙️ Application:
-
Installed on marine diesel engines, gas engines, or other large reciprocating machinery.
-
Continuously samples air from crankcases through sampling heads.
-
Triggers local and remote alarms (and possibly engine shutdown) if mist density crosses preset thresholds.
