Extend service life, reduce unplanned shutdowns, and optimise maintenance across your power assets with real-time oil condition monitoring.
Power generation equipment—engines, turbines, gensets, and gearboxes—operates continuously under high load and thermal stress. Oil degradation, fuel dilution, and contamination can lead to rapid component wear and unexpected failure.
Real-time oil condition monitoring gives operators continuous visibility into asset health, helping them prevent costly outages, reduce maintenance costs, and improve long-term reliability across mission-critical infrastructure.
Detect oil issues early and act before equipment is forced offline.
Extend service intervals safely with asset-specific condition data.
Reduce oil use, labour hours, and unplanned emergency repairs.
Monitor engines, gensets, and gearboxes in real time across the fleet.
Avoid unnecessary oil changes and reduce total material consumption.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta systems are installed across standby generators, base-load turbines, and backup power systems. Operators rely on live oil data to detect emerging faults, extend oil life, and reduce the risk of failure in remote or high-criticality assets.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil monitoring system supports critical uptime requirements across power generation. It integrates with SCADA and remote monitoring tools to deliver accurate condition data that reduces cost, improves scheduling, and supports long-term asset performance.
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.
