Engine Controls
As powerplants age, various engine related control modules become less reliable and obsoleted by their makers, so disrupting uptime. Often these control modules are also from different suppliers and when they fail, support is not always available and so can cause delays and be expensive. Kian marine are specialist in designing fully integrated upgrades for all control modules including engine automation, governors, gas admission systems, safety systems, power management, excitation and generator protection. By standardizing on control modules from our principles we are able to reduce the number of modules, minimize suppliers and improve integration. An upgrade not only improves reliability and diagnostics tools, but often improves plant operator control through automation, so maximizing output and efficiency.
We can provide any of the below system upgrades or fuel conversions as turn key solutions:
- Mechanical and Electronic Governor systems
- Gas Admission, Wastegate and By-Pass valves
- Ignition, Real Time Combustion Monitoring with Detonation/Misfire detection systems
- Engine Control, Monitoring and Alarm Systems
- Engine Safety Systems
- Power management, Generator Protection and Excitation Systems
- Remote Access for fast efficient remote field service support
