DIESELswitch
FOR SWITCHING FROM HFO TO MDO/MGO AND VICE VERSA
- Automated and controlled change over process
from HFO to MDO/MGO and vice versa
- Minimized risk of damages due to abrupt temperature changes
- Change over running at full load possible
- Easy to install on newbuilds and existing vessels
- Robust and reliable design
The new DIESELswitch is designed to carry out the change-over process between heavy fuel oil and low sulphur fuel automatically and safely.
The DIESELswitch also enables the operator to switch fuels running at full load, as sensors will detect if the fuel temperature changes too rapidly. The system will then freeze the position to protect the engine’s fuel injection system from a thermal shock and generate an alarm. For safety the fuel change-over process can also be stopped manually.
The DIESELswitch is safe and simple to operate.
All you have to do is:
- Choose time frame for change over
- Choose change over direction
(HFO -> MDO/MGO or MDO/MGO -> HFO) - Start the process!
The DIESELswitch S consists of the following parts for easy installation on newbuilds:
- Safety change over valve
with magnetic coupling to prevent leakages - Static mixing tube
- Electronic cabinet with advanced software
For retrofit solutions the DIESELswitch 1 is delivered on a foundation containing all system components, pipes and internal cabling.
A tamper-proof data logger can be connected to prove that the correct fuel was used in regulated areas. It is also possible to integrate a flow and density meter to calculate total fuel consumption.
