DOT.FAST® drip oil analysis

Onboard total iron measurement and onshore analysis of two-stroke cylinder drip oil, used to optimise cylinder oil feed rates, adjust BN and monitor engine wear.

Description

DOT.FAST is a test kit and analysis service for cylinder drip oil, the unburned cylinder oil that has passed through the main engine's combustion chamber, pistons and liners. The DOT.FAST analyzer measures total iron, which shows the total corrosive and abrasive wear taking place. Operators can then adjust cylinder oil BN or feed rate to keep the sulphur/BN balance as fuel quality changes.

Key features

  • Onboard wear measurement with laboratory accuracy
  • Optimises cylinder oil feed rates and consumption
  • Early warning of engine wear and abrasive deposit build-up
  • Supports longer intervals between overhauls and predictive maintenance
  • Onshore analysis: total iron, fuel purification effectiveness, system oil leakage, piston and ring groove wear and other parameters

Applications

Cylinder condition monitoring of low-speed two-stroke main engines.
