Page 5: Introduction And Intended Use
2 Introduction and Intended Use This manual covers the Kittiwake LinerSCAN system for monitoring the ferrous wear debris in waste cylinder lubricant on slow speed diesel engines. Optimisation of cylinder lubricant feed rates has significant financial benefits. Control of cylinder feed rates is enabled through the sensor’s feedback of an allowable amount of wear debris in the waste... -
Page 6: Principle Of Operation
Principle of Operation The sensor is based on the principals of Magnetometry to enclose the sample fluid in a magnetic field. The sensor has two symmetrical measurement chambers: measure and reference halves. The reference half is kept empty, whilst the measure half is filled with fluid sample. The sensor measures the difference between the halves;... -

Ensure the isolation and main valves are correctly opened for • sensor measurement Start the LinerSCAN Software Start LinerSCAN software by double clicking on shortcut on the desktop. - Page 36 4.2.1 Set Sensor Identifications (ID’s) The program now will detect all the sensors present in the network by serial number and it will ask to match the stored Sensor ID to the respective Cylinder number. It is advisable before starting the assignment to take note of sensor’s serial numbers and location (scavenge oil drain/cylinder number).
- Page 37 LinerSCAN will now prompt the operator with a new window referring to the next sensor in sequence. As we can notice from the picture below this sensor having serial number 14434 results set on sensor ID 1 but it was actually installed on Cylinder 2. This is a typical case were it will be required to reset the sensor ID in order to match the Cylinder Number (that will be 2 since it was installed on Cylinder 2).

Page 38: Setting Measurement Period
Kittiwake LinerSCAN networks are factory tested, ID’s may have been set but conflict with cylinders to which they are installed. To avoid duplicate ID’s the LinerSCAN network should be powered ‘ON’ only when all sensors are installed. After all sensors are working, go to the configuration tab (F3) and update all sensor values. -
Page 39: Fault Finding
Fault Finding 4.4.1 Blockages The LinerSCAN sensors rely on the air-blast cleaning technique to keep pipe work clear. After pre- installation, the valves are closed and left until commissioning. During this time blockages can occur, leading to no oil getting to the sensors. The system does have a blockage alarm; however this is usually seen once the engine has been operated. -

Page 58: Introduction
Introduction Improvements to the design, operation and maintenance of slow speed diesel engines from the manufacturers have recently seen impressive claims in reductions of liner wear, cylinder lubricant feedrate and maintenance.[2,3] This progress has come about from years of research into understanding the complex parameters which affect the life of the cylinder. -
Page 59: Normal Wear Over Lifetime
Normal Wear over lifetime The clearest indication of the onset of failure is a rapid rise in the wear rate. Although no two pieces of equipment are the same, generally, most metallic components in a system will have high wear when initially installed –... -
Page 60: Part Replacement
Part Replacement When a liner or piston rings are changed a predictable wear debris profile typically emerges and the real world data from on liner replacement can be seen below: Figure 2 Actual bedding in data after liner change Engine manufacturers know this process and advise increasing the cylinder lubricant feedrate for a recommended time following component replacement or after scuffing. -
Page 61: New Liner Feed-Rates
New Liner Feed-rates The liner was changed on cylinder 4, with the results again showing textbook bedding-in curve. During this bedding in period, the effect of reducing the cylinder lubricant by 10% was demonstrated. As expected it increased the wear on the liner and showed how sensitive the sensors/cylinders are to changes during this bedding in period. -
Page 62: Fuel Quality And Catalyst Fines
Fuel Quality and catalyst fines Residual fuel has been used on slow speed diesel engines successfully for years. Unfortunately for users, refining and bunkering technology has improved. This means that more of the crude oil can be converted to the more expensive fractions like gasoline, the left over residual fuel can now have higher levels of unwanted components such as sulphur, catalyst fines and waste plastics. - Page 63 Figure 5 Laboratory analysis from oil samples taken at least a day later Later another change of fuel had similar results to the iron levels in the waste cylinder lubricant. Cylinder 4 was shown to be most badly affected, and the very high levels lasted for many days. At the time the crew took no actions to prevent further damage.
- Page 64 The changes to cylinder 2 were carried out immediately, however, due to time constraints cylinder 4 was not changed until the next port. The pictures of the rings and liner surface clearly show the damage caused by the catalyst fines. It was understood that the rings on cylinder 4 were not very old and were still bedding in, the clearances between the rings and liner may be smaller than in normal conditions.
-
Page 65: Effect Of Maintenance
Effect of Maintenance Inspecting cylinders through the scavenge port is the recommended way to spot problems like scuffing and should be carried out on a regular basis in conformance with the manufacturers guidelines. Other maintenance events on the cylinders have on multiple occasions caused sudden and severe wear events. - Page 66 The same engineer re-visited the vessel since this event to carry out the same 6 monthly inspection on cylinders 1, 2 and 10. This time the process had been streamlined and improved. Subsequent wear debris levels only went as high as 450ppm, a considerable improvement. Figure 9 Damaged caused by routine maintenance Below, shows the levels of wear occurring after maintenance.

Page 67: Normal Running
Normal running When the engine is running in normal conditions there is almost always a rise in ferrous debris just after the engine has stopped / started. This is to be expected as lubrication film thickness reduces with speed. The vertical green indicates when the engine is started. Figure 10 Normal running profile Feedrate optimisation Optimising cylinder lubricant usage is a way to reduce one of an engines largest overhead, but there is... -
Page 68: Scuffing
Scuffing Figure 11 shows an incident of scuffing seen during normal running conditions. The cause of this is unknown but the sensor data did show it in enough time to reduce the load and increase the cylinder lubricant feedrate to that cylinder. Figure 11 Scuffing after normal running 6.10 Conclusions LinerSCAN monitors the condition of slow speed diesel engine liners and rings. -

Page 81: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions 1. The Sensor readings are higher compared to lab results? The following is an extract from Elemental Analysis - Mark Barnes ‘Practicing oil Analysis magazine’ Nearly all oil analysis labs use one of two types of atomic emission spectrometer, either an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instrument, or a rotating disc electrode (RDE) instrument. - Page 82 4. Can I regress the engine hour on the air blast software? Changing engine hours can result in data loss. It is not possible to regress the hours, but you can export the data (archive to file) and create new files. See the ‘operation’ section. 5.
- Page 83 9. Why do the liners on ‘Dashboard’ go black? If no data is received from a sensor within 30 seconds, the liner goes ‘black’. This is because there is no sensor connected to that cylinder. On some engines, not all cylinders are fitted with sensors. The cylinder count has to match the engine count to avoid confusion of data.

Page 84: Maintenance And Servicing
8 Maintenance and Servicing Maintenance and Servicing Caution: The sensors are connected together in this application by waste cylinder lubricant drain pipes, the scavenge space and common compressed air and electrical power supplies. Therefore when maintenance is undertaken all common supplies [power, air, oil and drain] need turning off [disconnecting at source] or the valves to the sensor closed to isolate the sensor from the system [recommended]. -
