Açıklama
Oil Mist Detection (OMD) techniques have been used to monitor diesel engine crankcases for potential explosive conditions and early detection of bearing failures. The systems available rely mainly on analysing the optical density of oil mist samples drawn from the crankcase compartments, through pipes to the Detector. While these systems proved successful in the past, engine design has improved significantly over the years and oil mist detection techniques have improved substantially to maintain adequate protection.
