Liner Diameter Measurement / LDM

Measures cylinder liner wear and deformation on 2-stroke engines (500-980 mm bore) without removing the cylinder head; up to 26 levels in about one hour per cylinder.

Description

The LDM measures cylinder liner wear and deformation on 2-stroke engines with a bore of 500 to 980 mm, without removing the cylinder head or valve housing. It records up to 26 measurement levels in about one hour per cylinder: a job that takes a three-man team a full day for two liners can be done by one operator in three hours.

Key features

  • Clover-leafing detection of non-oval wear from heat load deformation, injector erosion or lube-oil distribution
  • Versions for MAN B&W (Everllence), Wärtsilä and Mitsubishi engines
  • Onboard version without calibration; workshop version with micrometer kit and calibration rig
  • Latest generation offers 13 hours of continuous use
  • Results can be reported through the Engine Insights platform

Applications

  • Cylinder condition monitoring and overhaul planning on 2-stroke main engines
