Analysis of unburned cylinder oil, which has passed through the combustion
chamber and past the pistons and liners in the main engine, is an effective way to monitor engine wear.
The onboard DOT.FAST kit gives results that correlate to full laboratory analysis with a high degree of accuracy. Onboard testing is supported by comprehensive onshore testing and consulting services.
The DOT.FAST Onboard Test Kit
The DOT.FAST Onboard Test Kit consists of the Drip Oil Analyzer, pipette, DispoRack™ and DOT.FAST Onboard Software. Everything you need for a full year is supplied with your first order, and the service can be extended for subsequent years as required.
With new legislation requiring the use of low sulfur fuel oil, it is more important than ever to select the correct cylinder oil and to balance conditions in your engine. DOT.FAST Drip Oil Analysis gives you the information you need to do the job right.
DOT.FAST onboard analysis helps you:
- Minimize consumption by optimizing cylinder oil feed rates
- Optimize management of fuel with varying quality
- Discover early indications of engine wear
- Minimize build-up of abrasive deposits
- Measure wear onboard with laboratory accuracy
- Maximizetime between overhauls
- Perform predictive maintenance and minimize downtime
- Minimize risk of scuffing
Any samples sent to Chevron's renowned Ghent laboratory are fully analyzed (base number, iron and all other elements) and reviewed by our technical experts.
This additional onshore analysis helps you:
- Monitor effectiveness of fuel purification
- Identify system oil leakage
- Monitor piston and ring groove wear
- Identify blow-by
We immediately report our experts' recommendations back to your office and/or ship. You can also access historical data via the web.
