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.
