5.9.3 Oil mist detector
The oil mist detection system continuously monitors the concentration of oil mist in the
crankcase, in the supply unit drive and in the supply unit. If there is a high oil mist concentration,
the oil mist detector activates an alarm. Thus damage to the bearings can be quickly found and
explosions in the crankcase can be prevented.
The system includes the sensors (002, Figure 5-57) and the control unit (003) on the engine.
