Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detector Type 215/93

Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detector Type 215/93

The Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detector Type 215/93 is a high‑reliability crankcase monitoring system designed to detect dangerous oil mist concentrations in large diesel, gas, and dual‑fuel engines. Using Schaller’s proven suction‑type measurement principle, it provides early warning and engine protection in demanding marine environments.

The Schaller VISATRON Oil Mist Detector Type 215/93 is part of the VISATRON VN93 series, a globally recognized family of crankcase monitoring systems used to prevent crankcase explosions in large marine and industrial engines. The system continuously extracts crankcase atmosphere through a suction‑based measuring head and evaluates oil mist concentration using an optical detection chamber. This ensures rapid response from the earliest stages of oil mist formation, enabling operators to take corrective action before hazardous conditions develop.

The VISATRON 215/93 is engineered for long‑term operation in harsh marine environments, offering high vibration resistance and compliance with IACS UR M67 requirements. It features a robust design, low maintenance needs, and compatibility with Schaller’s DIEMOS safety architecture. The system is widely installed on propulsion engines, auxiliary generator engines, and power‑plant units worldwide, trusted by major engine manufacturers and classification societies.
