Wärtsilä Wireless Big-end Bearing Temperature Monitoring

The Wireless Big-End Bearing Temperature Monitoring system provides real-time temperature monitoring of the connecting rod big end bearings.

This state-of-the-art wireless system improves operational safety by continuously monitoring the temperature of the bearings. Any uncharacteristic deviation in the bearing temperature results in an immediate warning signal. The engine can then be stopped in an orderly fashion allowing troubleshooting to be carried out in good time before actual damage occurs. The system gives real-time, first-hand data, thereby preventing damage to the big-end bearings of the connecting rod, which is one of the most common reasons for four-stroke engine breakdowns.
