GL approves AMOT

摘要

Manufacturer of control and instrumentation for marine rotating machinery AMOT has received the first bearing wear monitoring system type approval according to Germanischer Lloyds (GL) "Guidelines for Machinery Condition Monitoring". AMOT's condition monitoring system provides online supervision of crank-train bearings of low-speed diesel engines onboard vessels enabling to detect bearing wear at an early stage. A comprehensive onboard field test demonstrated to GL the reliability of the condition monitoring information provided by the system. The field tests have been conducted in close cooperation with Hapag-Lloyd and MAN Diesel & Turbo.
