Extend engine life, prevent failures, and optimise maintenance across your fleet with real-time oil condition monitoring.
Marine engines and auxiliary systems operate under high loads for extended periods—often in remote or saltwater environments. Oil degradation, coolant leaks, and contamination are common but hard to detect between service windows.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil condition monitoring gives ship engineers and fleet managers continuous visibility into oil health. It helps reduce the risk of breakdowns at sea, supports condition-based maintenance, and cuts waste from unnecessary oil changes.
Detect issues early to avoid mechanical failures while at sea.
Service engines and gearboxes based on real oil condition, not hours.
Lower oil use, extend service intervals, and reduce breakdown repair costs.
Monitor propulsion systems and auxiliaries across the entire vessel.
Reduce oil waste and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta systems are installed across marine fleets including coastal shipping, port services, and offshore support. Operators rely on real-time oil data to avoid failures, improve maintenance scheduling, and reduce total lifecycle costs for engines and auxiliary equipment.
Tan Delta’s system is suited to high-hour, high-load marine operations. It delivers reliable oil condition data on engines, transmissions, and auxiliaries—whether vessels are dockside or underway—enabling safe, efficient fleet operation.
Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.
Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.
Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.
How does oil condition monitoring help in power generation?
It provides real-time visibility into oil degradation, contamination, and wear. This helps prevent unexpected failures, optimise service intervals, and improve overall asset reliability.
What types of power generation equipment is it compatible with?
The system works with diesel and gas gensets, gas turbines, backup generators, and hydraulic systems—any equipment using lubricating or hydraulic oils.
Can it be installed on running equipment?
Yes. Installation is non-intrusive and can be done during planned maintenance using standard sampling or inspection ports.
How is the data accessed?
Data is available through on-site controllers or remotely via cloud dashboards, SCADA systems, or integrated control panels.
What kind of faults can it detect?
It can detect thermal degradation, soot and fuel dilution, water ingress, and early-stage mechanical wear—long before failure symptoms appear.
Is this useful for remote or backup power systems?
Yes. The system is widely used in off-grid and standby installations where maintenance access is limited and uptime is critical.
What is the TDN Value?
TDN (Tan Delta Number) is a single real-time value that represents overall oil condition. It is calculated from the sensor’s raw data and allows users to track oil health and rate of change over time. TDN enables data-driven decisions on when to service or replace oil.
How do I view the oil condition data in the field?
Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
