10 March 2005 -- The AMOT MPD metal detector, which prevents engine failures by spotting metal particles in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other problems, has received a DNV Type Approval certificate. It covers application Class B for operating temperatures from 5 to 70 deg C and up to 100% humidity, with 'on-engine' vibration and IP44 enclosure. Avoiding unnecessary costly repairs and minimising downtime, this recently introduced device is easily installed in a bypass pipe of the system on reciprocating equipment such as gas or diesel engines and reciprocating or rotating compressors, pumps, turbines, transmissions and gearboxes.
Compact yet robust and only needing minimal maintenance, the unit has no moving parts and a corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium body, with stainless steel available for use in other environments.
Its 'unique' grid sensing technology detects all conductive materials, including non-metallic particles, in non-conductive fluid lubrication systems.
Used either with AMOT's MPD controller or an appropriate alternative controller, it converts maintenance into a continuously predictive rather than reactive process.
