Description
Whether its light diesel, bunker C or the heaviest fuel oils, the new ViscoMaster
is a major step forward in viscosity control for all types of fuel oil.
ViscoMasters direct 4-20mA output of kinematic viscosity has the speed of
response and accuracy to provide far greater fuel temperature stability at the
engine than experienced with traditional instruments.
Proven with over 16,000 hours service on large power generation diesel engines
during trials, ViscoMaster can easily cope with highly contaminated heavy fuel
oil.
Correct viscosity control ensures efficient and complete combustion thereby
contributing to the economical operation and protection of plant and equipment,
and the efficient control of pollution.
Accuracy and speed of response result in more stable temperature of the fuel at
the engines and allow lower re-circulation pump flow rates.
All the measured and calculated parameters, including the kinematic viscosity,
the API base density, the temperature and the Ignition index are accessible via
the RS232/485 MODBUS communications for use in engine management
computers or "black box" recorders.
