Condition Monitoring

Product Catalogue
Introduction
World Class Innovations in Condition Monitoring

CMT is a specialised manufacturer for on-line and on-site condition monitoring solutions. Our equipment enables onsite
engineers to make on the spot informed decision helping with the daily maintenance job.

CM Technologies, formerly known as Kittiwake GmbH help prevent unplanned breakdown and maximise plant availability. There
are various different on-the-run tools available for condition monitoring:

• Condition monitoring for operating fluids (lubricants, fuel, water / on-site or in a lab)
• Vibration Analysis, Acoustic Emission or Sound
• Monitoring physical properties (speed, rpm, temperature, pressure, power ....)

Most of the condition monitoring technologies can be used as online or offline version whereas both variants do not provide the
same results.

The best solution is often a combination of two or three of the


condition monitoring tools, but it depends very much on the
type of your condition monitoring equipment you have in use,
the criticality of that equipment, the running conditions (speed,
rpm, temperature ...) of your equipment, and how perceptive
your organization is to training.

CMT, formerly known as Kittiwake GmbH can offer you a


complete solution as on- or offline system. We are pleased to
help you finding the right solution.

We would like to give this catalogue to interested parties and


to customers who would like to acquire more knowledge about
available solutions or update their already kept information.

equipment. Economically priced these
condition monitoring tools quickly
will become the backbone of your
maintenance regime. Engineers and
maintenance managers are given the
ability to conduct oil analysis directly
on-site at the running machine. Spot out-
of-spec fuels and lubricants before they
become a critical problem by using our
kits. You can choose from wide range of
different options including complete test
cabinets ensuring you get the right tool
for your machinery.

CMT test kits are supplied either in durable aluminium cases or in wall
mounted steel cabinets. Our multi-parameter test kits contain all of the
necessary equipment and consumable for your oil condition monitoring
needs.
On-site oil analysis equipment provides your chance to monitor the condition
of your oil between laboratory checks. Based on our experience in oil
condition monitoring our kits are made to be used by anyone because no
training or special knowledge is needed. Important oil parameters can be
measured in a few minutes. Step by step instructions and on screen user

Insoluble

Insoluble are a build up in combustion engines due to the burning fuel in the
engine. They are combustion related debris and oxidation products within
the lubrication oil.
Regular monitoring of insoluble helps to prevent lacquer formation on hot surfaces,
sticking of piston rings, wear of cylinder liner and bearing surfaces.

Water Monitor

The effect of water ingress into an oil system can be rapid and catastrophic.
The Water Monitor removes the risks associated with periodic off-line testing
and potential human error. In comparison to other techniques for water
monitoring, CMT´s Water Monitor measures the total concentration of water
in oil, not just the dissolved water. CMT´s Water Monitor already has been
installed on a multitude of seafaring vessels, where it proves its worth every
single day!
A robust design with an IP65 housing ensure that CMT´s Water Monitor can provide
permanent, repeatable accurate and reliable real time data in harsh marine and
industrial environments.
Continuous on-line monitoring provides the most representative picture of oil
condition. Changes are highlighted as they occur and not just at scheduled
laboratory analysis. Preventative action can then be taken before a significant
damage can occur.
Water Monitor provides accurate feedback of the water concentration in your oil
system. With local and optional remote alarms, Water Monitor instantly puts the
information enabling the engineers to act accordingly.
In order to enable a long-term record of data, the sensor is equipped with internal
data storage unit which can be read out over the serial interface.

Metallic Particle Sensor

The Metallic Particle Sensor is an intelligent sensor that detects electrically


conductive particles in the medium that passes through it. The sensor counts
them in real-time and classifies them according to their size.
The Metallic Particle Sensor uses a new patented detection method which is based
on the eddy current principle and works independently of oil temperature, flow rate,
Oil Condition Monitoring

viscosity, air and water contents or oil colour (darkening).


It can be mounted within almost any lubrication system on any type of machine.
The sensor measures ferrous and nonferrous metals, resulting from the wear debris
within the lubricant, using a combination of proven inductive coil technology,
combined with smart algorithms to provide a particle size distribution count. And
that puts you in control. You know that the more severe the wear problem, the
more that the machine produces larger wear debris particulate.
With its digital and analogue outputs, it can be easily integrated into your existing
Condition Monitoring and operating control systems. It puts you in control. Whether
it’s to check on the health of the machine, or an alert of changing wear patterns,
the sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory
oil analysis programme, and helping you make informed maintenance planning
decisions.

The eddy current measuring principle

An excitation coil (black) that generates an alternating magnetic


field (blue) induces eddy currents (green) in the oil. A receiver
coil (red) detects the resulting eddy current density. Electrically
conductive, i.e. ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants in the oil
change the current flow between the excitation and the receiver
coils. In order to detect even minuscule particles at high flow
velocities the Metallic Particle Sensor utilizes the fast reacting
differential coils method with two receiver windings connected
in opposition.

One of the most important aspects


of any oil analysis program is the
sampling method and the sampling
equipment used. The sample needs

amount and uncontaminated. Oil
samples are required for regulatory
analysis but also for commercial and
regulatory purposes.
A representative oil sample will provide
an accurate representation of the
contaminants, additives, oxidation,
particulates and wear condition. If a
sample does not represent the real
condition of the oil and component
at the time of sampling, the reliability
of both the test result and it’s
interpretation is in doubt.
Representative fuel oil samples are
required for both regulatory and
commercial purposes. Crucial aspects
of the sampling process include taking
the sample, the sampling location and
witnessing the process.
CMT’s sampling solutions provide
you with everything you need to
easily gather an uncontaminated,

3. Vibration Monitor

The Vibration Monitor is a powerful online monitoring and diagnostics system


It was designed to increase the reliability of strategic rotating machinery. The Vibration Monitor system can operate
as an independent monitoring system or it can be used as extension of an existing protection system. The Vibration
Monitor system can be also used as multipurpose 16-channel analyser. Each Vibration Monitor module contains 16
AC, 16 DC and 4 TACHO inputs. All channels are measured simultaneously. The measurement parameters and data

Machinery Condition Monitoring


processing are the same as with the high end Vibration Monitor instrument. Single Vibration Monitor modules can
be easily composed together creating a wide channel system.

The A3750 software is designed for the control of the data collection and archiving. Setting up the program allows to easily
configure the required measurements. The software A3760 enables the real time online display of the current measurement
values on the predefined channels. The DDS software system is designed for the follow up processing and archiving of all the
collected data.
Acquisition Control is executed by the A3750 software package. The user defines time controlled groups (TCG). Each group is
the set of measurements, which are taken in specified time intervals. By this way the user can collect some measurements every
second, other every minute and others in next different time intervals. TCG is free run or can be triggered by any measurement,
which exceeds the pre-defined limit. The data are finally saved to MS SQL Server database.
Optional a real time display with monitor, keyboard and mouse is available. This can display the overall values, frequency bands,
time waveforms, spectra and amplitude- and phase values on speed frequencies.

Diesel Performance Analyser

Sea-going vessels require large amounts of fuel to operate. Therefore diesel engine performance is paramount to a ships
owner’s bottom line. Most marine diesel engines operate on lower-quality fuels that can cause ignition delays and incomplete
combustion. CMTs Diesel Performance Analysers can provide early detection of worn or damaged engine components such as
piston ring leakage, burnt piston crown, exhaust valve leakage and much more. It also ensures that the engine is well balanced
and the injection timing is correct. An optional feature is an acoustic emission sensor that measures fuel injection without
penetrating the fuel system. This option delivers enhanced engine performance by utilizing some of the latest technological
Oil Condition Monitoring

innovations designed specifically for marine engines.


Your benefits when using a Diesel Performance Analyser are:

• Reduced fuel consumption • Improved maintenance efficiency


• Well balanced engine • Reduced spare parts purchases
• Correct ignition timing • Reduced emissions
• Overload protection

Marine Water Test Kits
Offshore installations and vessels have a variety of
systems that require monitoring for either optimal
performance, meeting current or forthcoming legislation
and to minimize the risks for the crew or visitor’s Health
and Safety on board.
Water Condition Monitoring

With these in mind, a new range of CMT Marine Water Kits


has been developed to assist and adhere with the above
requirements.
The systems that will require monitoring are:
• Potable Water
• Sewage Water
• Boiler & Cooling Water
• Ballast Water
According to the ever changing legislations CMT is
permanently updating the range of Marine Water Test Kits to
comply with the current legislations.

the method and frequency of monitoring
the record keeping requirements
Simple regular assessment and testing of the potable water
system for microbiological activity, biocide (disinfection
control) and implementing a correct control scheme (i.e.
temperature monitoring), will ultimately reduce the risk of a
disease and save lives.
The CMT Marine Potable Water Test Kits were developed to
offer rigs and vessels the complete monitoring solutions for
their water systems, with the option of additional extras if
required. Suitable control schemes with adequate testing &
monitoring will aid with the compliance of the current ILO
MLC (2006). These test kits provide real time analysis and
simple to perform tests which require no specialist training.
According to ILO MLC (2006) also a qualified person is
required on board the vessel or rig to perform the test.

Condition Monitoring System

Regular condition monitoring of machinery is key to effective predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance
techniques help determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance should be
performed. A carefully planned condition monitoring system prevents machinery failure and avoids damages to your
business operation.
At least for the foreseeable future it is unlikely that there will be a complete condition monitoring solution, monitoring oil and

engine condition and detecting problems at an early stage using a single sensor with a simple display. The combination of different
condition monitoring systems into one system allows more cost-effective predictive maintenance. The best overall machinery
monitoring program is one that utilizes multiple, integrated monitoring technologies.
This is why we have developed the CMT Monitoring System combining well known sensor technologies into a product monitoring
your assets 24/7.
The CMT Condition Monitoring System is an integrated and flexible condition based maintanance (CBM) solution for critical plant
such as a wind turbine gearbox, oil rigs, thruster systems and other. Designed to be easily installed the CMT Monitoring System
offers multi tiered alarms alerting the user of any problems instantly. Greatly flexible the system is fully scalable allowing monitoring
of a lot of different machinery. It allows the integration of existing CM systems and can even be easily upgraded to include further
additional critical systems afterwards.
The solution is based on the proven range of CMT condition monitoring products and services, including robust on-line technology
for vibration analysis, lubricant monitoring and data gathering. CMTs services include turnkey installation, commissioning, remote
data analysis, draft of machinery condition reports, as well as suggestions for reliability improvements based on the gathered data.

CMTs Monitoring System helps operators because it provides the basis for proactive
maintenance and operational decisions based on the actual machinery condition.
The CMT Monitoring Solution is a modular system which allows an adaption to your
requirements and system conditions. The main components are:
• PLC Based Central Unit (1 per system)
• Control Panel (1 .... n per system)
• Vibration Monitor (0 .... n per system)
• Oil Sensor Box (0 .... n per system)
• Torque Meter (0 .... n per system)
Additionally it can read any existing performance data from your plant.
The Central unit is the hub of the system and therefore each solution needs one of
these. All other components can be duplicated as needed. The Vibration Monitor, the
Torque Meter and the Oil Sensor Box are optional.

The CMT Liner Monitor is providing an early warning of an impending
critical engine damage due to mechanical or corrosive wear. Furthermore the
information provided can be used to optimise your cylinder oil consumption.
Trials show that Liner Monitor highlights the first signs of damage earlier than other
systems and enables a safe reduction of the lubricant feed rate. At the same time it
monitors any acid corrosion problem inside the combustion chamber. Liner Monitor
is an automated system helping you to save money by optimizing the lubricant feed
rate while avoiding any acid corrosion. It reduces your maintenance costs and helps
to prevent unnecessary engine damage.
CMT’s Liner Monitor system is designed to remove the uncertainty of not knowing
if there is any cylinder damage resulting from low fuel quality, slow steaming, low or
high sulphur levels, lower oil feed rates and cylinder oil formulation changes.

1. Basic Oil Seminar

Oil is used in various different applications and does have different tasks to
fullfill.
Lubrications oil is use to avoid friction between moving parts. Hydraulic
oil is used to transmit forces. Oils are also expected to cool or to avoid

CMT Training
contaminations to harm the engine. Oils in modern equipment are complex
and expensive liquids. It is therefore important to understand and maintain
the oil.

Lube oil is the life blood of your engine!


Training Topics
• Introduction
• Basic tribology
• Friction, wear and lubrication
• Life-cycle of the oil
• Sampling and sample handling
• Trend analysis in laboratories
• Interpretation of results
• On-site testing - blessing or burden
• Frequencies of testing

Oil can tell us long stories about the performance of the equipment. It is essential
to be able to read and understand this valuable information. It also tells us a story
about itself. Oil does age and might need to be replaced when it does come to the
end of its lifetime. However, similar to a human there is no predefined lifetime for an
oil. It is a waste of money to change oil too early and a big risk to wait too long. Only
the oil itself can tell us whether it is still fit for further use or should be replaced.

It is an essential part of the maintenance process to analyse the oil.

2. Marine Potable Water Tests

Potable water is our most important nutrient and is used for both drinking
and cooking.
The water being used for personal hygiene and all types of cleaning requires
the same high quality. It is therefore important to have enough water of
satisfactory quality to cover all types of usage.
CMT Training

Safe potable water secures good health!

Training Topics
• Introduction into potable water
• Risks for fresh water supply and making on board
• Hazardous contaminations (microbes / chemical elements)
• Different methods of disinfection
• Legionella and other bacteria
• Legislation framework (MLC 2006 / IHR)
• Risk Management and Water Safety Plan
• Ship owners / masters duties
• Water testing: What, When, Where, Why?
• How to use on-board test kits

International regulations regarding the Potable Water Quality Monitoring and


Control were driven by the World Health Organization (WHO) via its International
Health Regulations (IHR). Soon enough adapted for on-board potable water, as part
of the overall Ship Sanitation Certificate.

Monitoring and control compliance procedures are laid out in the Guide for Ship
Sanitation detailing:
• the systems that require monitoring,
• the method and frequency of monitoring
• the record keeping requirements
The draft guidelines were created in close collaboration with the International Labour
Organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
Alongside SOLAS, MARPOL and the STCW Convention the MLC, 2006 has been
introduced as the fourth pillar of the regulatory regime of IMO. It will require an
MLC 2006 certificate and enters into force 2012.

3. Cylinder Drain Oil Management

Cylinder oil in a main engine has two main tasks. It should lubricate the
engine to have an acceptable low wear level and it has to neutralize the
sulphuric acid to avoid unexpected acid corrosion in the liner.
By analysing scrapedown oil collected from the scavenge space shipboard
personnel are able to monitor the condition of the engine’s cylinders and

H
systems
• Cylinder wear, types of wear and how is it detected and measured / monitored
• L ow / high sulphur fuel – what does sulphur in respect of the lubrication regime?
Legislations
• The sulphur / base balance – optimise the feed rate
• Cylinder Drain Oil Analysis – onshore / on board
• Sampling the drain oil, how and when
• Interpreting results and taking actions
• Field experience
• Open discussion

OEM Testimonial:
“It is MAN’s experience that, in addition to regular scavenge port inspections; drip
oil analysis can be a very useful tool to monitor combustion and cylinder condition.
Drip oil analysis can detect changes in cylinder liner wear and help with cylinder oil
feed rate optimization programs.”
Wärtsilä Switzerland: “Measuring the total iron content of piston underside oil
provides a very valuable feedback of the piston running conditions in each cylinder,
and allows the operator to optimise cylinder oil feed rates for a specific set of
operating conditions.”

4. Monitoring with Vibration Analysis New
CMT Vibration Analysis Sensors and Condition Monitoring Systems are
designed for harsh marine environments. Vibration analysis can be easily and
quickly applied by engineers on board your vessel!
Vibration monitoring can be classified in three categories, Broad band
vibration (ISO 10816), Vibration analysis in the frequency domain and
CMT Training

Acoustic Emissions – (ISO 22096).


Improve the efficiency of your equipment!

Training Topics
• Introduction into Vibration Analysis Monitoring
• Differences between Vibration and Acoustic Monitoring
• Finding lubrication problems
• Instant “health” checking – finding equipment problems
• Confirming repair success
• Air leaks detection
• Hands-on training with VA portable instruments
• Using the View software for trend analysis
• FFT Frequency analysis and data export
• Field experience
• Open discussion

The power of Vibration Analysis lies in the fact that it directly detects the physical
processes such as friction, impacts and metal removal associated with failure. CMT
Vibration Analysis testing can be applied to virtually any rotating machinery. This
includes those equipment traditionally difficult to measure such as slow speed
machinery and complex gearboxes.

5. Diesel Performance

The challenge of upholding a maintenance regime on board ships is to


protect the vessel against costly downtime. It is important to detect defects
early enough to avoid serious problems resulting in downtimes. Engine
maintenance can be planned, thus saving in parts and labor by changing
engine parts based on need, not based on timing intervals.

CMT Training
Monitoring diesel engine performance by conventional “draw card”
methods, along with planimeter calculations, is time consuming and subject
to human error. Unfortunately engine efficiency still suffers from timing
problems and load imbalances that occur and remain undetected between
scheduled maintenance.
Slow or late combustion is one of the most common problems in diesel
engine operation. Balancing the cylinder load extends engine life, increases
efficiency, and reduces emissions to assist with environmental compliance.
Proper ignition timing reduces the exhaust gas temperature and rate of
excess carbon build-up. Tuning the engine may reduce specific fuel oil
consumption resulting in significant savings.
Improve the efficiency of your engine!

Training Topics
• Introduction into Diesel Engine Performance Analysis
• Defining different pressures and angles calculate indicated power
• Identification of problems by using the pressure / angle and pressure /
volume diagram
• Cylinder load balance
• What influences the ignition time?
• What are the results of late ignition and how can it be identified?
• Slow or late combustion. What are the results and how can it be identified?
• Differences between different diesel performance analysers
• Interpreting results and taking actions.
• Field experience
• Open discussion
