Product Description

Application
Oil mist detectors of the VISATRON series protect large diesel engines of all
operation classes against serious damages originating from crankdrive bearing or
piston component overheating.

Functional Description
The atmosphere of the crankcase compartments is continuously drawn out by
means of headers and directed through an optical opacity measuring track. In this
measuring track the opacity (turbidity) of the drawn crankcase atmosphere is
determined by means of infrared light.
Main Structural Components ( see Fig. 1.01 / 1 to 1.01 / 3 )
1. Base plate with air jet pump for generating the required negative
pressure ( 1 ) and main connector plug ( 5 )
2. Measuring head with electronic module, display window ( 2 )
and inspection cover ( 3 )
3. Connection for headers ( 4 ) or individual pipes ( 6 )

Connection for headers designed as:

VN 115 / 87, VN 115 / 87 - EMC ( see Fig. 1.01 / 1 )

Commissioning

Adjust suction pressure

The suction pressure must be calibrated by adjusting the pressure regulator when
the engine is at a standstill. Make sure ventilation of the engine room is in operation
( pressure difference in room ). An increase or decrease of the pressure
in the crankcase compartment during operation and its effect on the flow velocity
of the oil mist in the suction pipes, is largely compensated by the internal restriction
integrated in the device. (e.g., +25 mm W. G. in the crankcase compartment against
the atmosphere account for an increase of the oil mist flow velocity in the suction
pipes of approx. 8%; +50 mm W. G. of approx. 14%, a negligible figure). This is
important because precipitation of minute oil droplets of the oil mist increases with a
too high flow rate, thus reducing the sensitivity of the device.

Function of relay outputs

Function of READY relay

( corresponding to the state READY LED ) ( see Fig. 2. 09 / 1 )
- The relay is switched on when the oil mist detector is in operation

Function of ALARM relay

- The relay is switched on when the opacity exceeds the adjusted alarm level.

- Wire break monitoring by the alarm system is made possible by wire break
resistors installed between contacts 7 and 8 as well as between 14 and 16
( 33 k½ factory-preset ).

- To replace the line break resistors the electronic module must be removed.
The resistors are located near the relay on the lowest printed electronic board
(R222, R 223).

Attention:
In case of an oil mist alarm, the oil mist detector (OMD) must be in condition
to react within the next few seconds and shut down the engine,
in order to minimise immediate or consequential damages

False alarm in the case of fire with smoke development in the engine room

In case of a fire with smoke development in the engine room, a false alarm cannot
be prevented since smoke may pass into the measuring track through the sintered
!
bronze filters in the measuring head. This condition induces an opacity which can
trigger an oil mist alarm.

Remedy: Install optional pressurised air scavenging system, available from the
manufacturer ( Press RESET button to reset the alarm )

Further possible failures

Sudden false alarms in very warm or cold climatic areas can be triggered by
humidity ( in the crankcase ) falling below the dew point:
water droplets passing the measuring track or dew on the filter glasses may trigger
!
a false alarm.

Remedy: Check negative pressure and calibrate to 60 mm W. G., if required.

Caution!
Ventilation air fans, if any, blowing towards the device and
Danger of burns

T max = 120° C
Change blowing direction ( install deflectors ) of the ventilator to ensure
that cold air it is not directed to the oil mist detector or suction pipes.
Check VISATRON heating system. ( The heating element is located in
the base plate and is hooked up with the connector plug
to the 24 V power supply!)
Furthermore, a measuring head heating system is available as an option
(see chapter “Options”!).

List of Options for VN 87

As an option, the following device extensions can be supplied for

the oil mist detectors of series 87:

Item Description Article No.

1 Protecting cover 10015

2 Pressure control unit with input throttle 10001
3 Typhoon filter 10632
4 Measuring head heating system 10671
5 Pressurised air scavenging 10752
6 Analog opacity indicator 10058

Description of the individual items

Item 1, Protecting cover

The protecting cover can easily be mounted on the four provided threads on the
base plate of the VN device. It serves to protect the device against mechanical
damage and contamination.

Item 2, Pressure regulator unit

The pressure reducer unit consists of a pressure reducer and a throttle block.
Both parts are mounted together on a frame which is fastened by 3 screws, M8.

The pressure reducer device is especially designed to supply the draft air to the
VISATRON ( VN ) device. The throttle block ensures that the negative pressure
in the VN is limited and does not surpass 25% above of the calibrated negative
pressure, should a failure occur in the pressure reducer ( e. g. rupture of the
diaphragm, etc. ).
In addition, the throttle block is equipped with a filter to retain impurities
from the plant air supply.

12.95
12. 02 x
Item 3, Typhoon filter
The typhoon filter serves as a pre- filter for supplying fresh air to the scavenging
air chambers of the VN device.
The typhoon filter is laterally affixed to the protecting cover of the VN device.
The filter outlet and is joined to the air inlet at the inspection cover of the VN device
by means of a flexible hose.
The typhoon filter considerably increases the service life of the fresh air filter
(sinter bronze ), in particular, if the power plant is operated under contaminated
ambient air conditions, such as dusty air, or if the plant is operated in regions
where the air humidity is high. The typhoon filter is furnished with a filter cartridge
which can be cleaned with compressed air ( blowing from inside outwards )
or, if required, be replaced with by unscrewing the top cover.

The typhoon filter consists of:

- a complete filter
- a special inspection cover for the measuring head
- a connecting hose

Item 4, Measuring head heating system

A standard heating element is installed in all the VN 87 series, in the base plate.
This heating unit might not be sufficient to cover all cases ( cases of extreme
humidity in the crankcase, higher water content in the lubricating oil or lower than
normal ambient temperatures ).
The measuring head heating system serves to warm up the top of the measuring
head and the crankcase gas flowing through the VN device, in order to avoid
condensation of water, especially in climatic zones with high humidity or low
temperatures. Condensation of water may trigger a false high oil mist alarm when
small droplets of water are detected by the optical measuring track and shut down
the engine.
The measuring head heating system can be mounted on top of the measuring
head and replaces the heating system in the base plate. The power supply is
connected in the same way as the heating system of the base plate by means of a
plug under the main Harting plug on the base plate.

12.95
Item 5, Pressurised air scavenging
x 12. 03

By means of driving air scavenging it is possible to provide filtered air to the

scavenging air chambers independent of the ambient air.
This option is recommended to prevent false alarms with consequential
engine shut downs due to a fire with smoke development in the engine room.
The smoke may reach the VN device, entering through the fresh air slots in the
inspection cover, passing through the fresh air filters ( sinter bronze filters ) to the
optical measuring track, triggering a high oil mist alarm. The pressurised air
scavening receives the air through the nozzle of the draft pump which is connected
with a hose to the special inspection cover on the measuring head. The air flow is
metered by special jets located in the nozzle and inspection cover.

Item 6, Analogue opacity indicator

The analogue square shaped opacity indicator may be utilised for all VN 87 devices.
Its dimensions are 96 x 96 mm and it is appropriate for the installation into
0,4 0,6
switchboards or panels. The analogue opacity indicator is connected to the
0,2 0,8
terminals 9 (+) and 10 (-) of the VN 87 device. The relative distance to the adjusted
Opacity
alarm level is indicated on a scale from 0 to 1, meaning 0% to 100% beeing away relative to

0 Alarm
from the alarm level.
Example: If the measured opacity has reached a value corresponding to 50%
of the adjusted alarm level, the analogue opacity indicator will display the value 0.5.

Item 7, Siphon block assembly systems

Siphon blocks are devices which enable to drain the accumulated oil, from the oil
mist suction pipes, directly back to the engine crankcase. The siphon blocks allow
a horizontal suction pipe installation, from compartment to compartment.

Conventional suction pipe systems, without siphon blocks, require to be installed

with a gradient of 2% to 4% ascending to the VN device, in order to drain the
precipitated oil back to the engine.
It is imperative to drain the oil to the crankcase and avoid potential clogging.

Special engine-oriented assembly systems in modular design are available for

VISATRON Oil Mist Detectors for a large number of two- and four- stroke engine
types of various manufacturers.
