HJ MECHTRONIC
QUICK FACTS
HJ Mechtronic is an electronically controlled and mechanically driven lubrication system for all engines with mechanical drive, designed to improve lubrication performance i.e. optimize cylinder liner and piston ring condition with reduced cylinder oil consumption.
- Improve cylinder condition
- Cope with slowsteaming
- Fight cold corrosion
- Automatic adjustment acc. to load
- Optional automatic regulation acc. to sulphur
- Easy operation
- Injection of cylinder oil at every piston stroke
- Computer operated
- Optimize feed rate / savings on OPEX
- In situ installation
- Short payback time
-
Adjusting bolts
The adjusting bolts set the basic stroke lengths for each individual piston pump in the unit.
This allows the operator to manually change the amount of oil injected into the cylinder each engine revolution.
-
Mechtronic modul
The module contains a series of magnetic valves or flow switches which are controlled by an electronic control unit. One flow switch makes it possible to bypass the cylinder lube oil to its injection valve. Thereby reducing the overall quantity injected at each engine revolution.
The flow switches are in an always closed state as a redundant feature. Therefore, if an error occurs, cylinder lube oil will be injected into the cylinder.
-
Visual check of flow switches
A visual check of the flow switches is possible while looking at the end of the flow switches while running a regulation where the reduction of lube oil is active.
When a flow switch is activated (reducing lube oil), the apparent colour of the flow switch plug changes. This observation is done through the transparent plug in the end.
-
Check sensor
The check sensors each monitor the function of the flow switches, confirming proper function and generating an alarm if no flow switch activation is detected.
