Oil Mist Detector

Oil Mist Detector is used to monitor pump rooms, engine rooms, and other facilities. As the IMO points out; most engine-room ires are the result of the build up of oil mist. OCIMF’s “Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme” also draws particular attention to the oil mist hazard for hydraulic aggregate pumps and the transmission pipes under high pressure. Thus, early alarms on the formation of oil mist are important. This small safety investment yields great benefits while more and more vetting inspectors would like to see this equipment onboard. MD-O/M is ideal for applications where an accurate response to smoke, dust, or oil mist is required in unattended machinery spaces. Atmospheric oil mist can be formed in one of two ways. First, oil leaks in pressurized oil lines produce a very ine atomized spray. Second, evaporating oil on a hot surface produces what is known as blue smoke. These tiny droplets of oil in the air have a low ignition temperature or can be sparked of by other sources.
