About the Kidde Graviner MK6 Oil Mist Detection System
The Kidde Graviner MK6 is an intelligent analogue addressable Oil Mist Detection (OMD) System developed specifically for medium- and low-speed marine diesel engines. The system continuously analyses crankcase air for oil mist concentration and provides rapid warning of abnormal conditions before they develop into serious mechanical failures or crankcase explosions.
Designed for modern marine engine installations, the MK6 combines intelligent detector technology with a user-friendly control unit, delivering reliable monitoring, comprehensive diagnostics, and dependable performance under demanding marine operating conditions.
A single MK6 system is capable of monitoring:
- Up to 8 Marine Diesel Engines
- Up to 64 Intelligent Addressable Detector Heads
- Individual Crankcase Compartments
- Continuous Oil Mist Density Levels
- Real-Time Alarm & Fault Status
- Multiple Engine Monitoring from a Single Control Unit
This flexible architecture makes the MK6 suitable for vessels operating with multiple propulsion and auxiliary engines.
Intelligent Addressable Detector Technology
One of the key advantages of the Kidde Graviner MK6 is its use of intelligent analogue addressable detector heads.
Each detector head is assigned a unique electronic address and installed directly on an individual crankcase compartment. The detector continuously samples crankcase air using optical sensing technology to measure oil mist concentration and transmits analogue data to the MK6 control unit.
Unlike conventional systems, the addressable design enables engineers to immediately identify the exact crankcase compartment where abnormal oil mist levels or detector faults are detected.
