QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection Systems


Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection Systems are critical for maintaining safety and operational efficiency in areas prone to oil mist accumulation, such as engine rooms, hydraulic rooms, turbine rooms, and test cells. These systems safeguard both equipment and personnel by detecting harmful oil mist particles that could pose a safety hazard or cause equipment failure.
A standard QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection System comprises two main components: a monitor and a sensor.
Key Features
Comprehensive Monitoring:
- Multiplex Monitor: Capable of monitoring oil mist levels from up to 12 separate sensors, ideal for large installations.
- Triplex Monitor: Designed for monitoring up to 3 channels, suitable for compact setups.
Integrated Fan Technology:
- The atmospheric sensor features a built-in fan that actively draws air from the surrounding area, ensuring accurate oil mist detection.
360-Degree Adjustability:
- Fully adjustable articulated joint allows for flexible positioning, ensuring optimal coverage and detection.
Robust and Durable Construction:
- Cast aluminum casing provides high durability, making the system suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Data Logging and Reporting:
- Datalogging functionality enables the recording and analysis of historical data for improved safety and operational insights.
Shutdown Options:
- Individual or Grouped Shutdowns (Multiplex Only): Provides tailored shutdown capabilities to isolate risks and prevent escalation.
Simplified Wiring with Junction Box:
- Multiway Junction Box streamlines wiring for installations involving multiple sensors, making setup easier and more efficient.
Low Maintenance:
- Easy-to-clean components reduce downtime and ensure long-term reliability.
Enhanced Safety Features:
- Ability to send data to a master alarm panel, allowing for real-time alerts and centralized monitoring.
Versatile Configurations:
- Adaptable for various setups with options to suit different spaces and operational requirements.

Optional Add-Ons
The system offers various configurations and add-ons tailored to specific operational needs:
- Data Logger Output: Provides real-time data to a master alarm panel for enhanced monitoring and record-keeping.
- Individual or Grouped Shutdown Options (Multiplex Only): Enables targeted or comprehensive system shutdowns to isolate risks and protect the facility effectively.

Core Components of the QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection Systems
MULTIPLEX Monitor

The QMI Multiplex Monitor is a highly versatile unit capable of monitoring oil mist levels from up to 12 separate sensors.
