Chris-Marine Launches the LLC – Liner Condition Camera

Document your cylinder liner condition in 15 minutes without removal of cylinder cover or exhaust valve housing on 2-stroke engines.

Malmö, Sweden – September 25, 2019 – Chris-Marine AB today announced the launch of its Cylinder Liner Condition Camera, LCC. LCC is used for in situ photography of the cylinder liner walls and the exhaust valve in 2-stroke engines.

The Chris-Marine Liner Condition Camera – LCC provides images from BDC (bottom dead center) to TDC (top dead center). The images captured by the camera are used to evaluate cylinder condition parameters like presence of cylinder honing marks and wave-cut groove extension, black lacquering and bore polish, size of cylinder wear edge and cleanliness of ring land. In addition, the pictures can be used to inspect exhaust valve, fuel injector valves, lube oil injection area and start air valve.

“The launch of our Cylinder Liner Condition Camera LCC is an important step for us and for our customers,” says Alexander Malt, Global Sales & Marketing Director at Chris-Marine. “We know that at least 10% of the newbuildings need to have their cylinder liners replaced already before the first dry-docking, a costly consequence of failing to keep the liners in top condition. However, this problem can easily be prevented and that’s where our camera comes into play. LCC detects and documents abnormal surface conditions and helps the engine crew determine if measures need to be taken. By monitoring the condition of the liner regularly, severe damage to the engine can be prevented and unnecessary investments avoided, Alexander Malt continues.”

LCCs unique features are

  • 4 built-in cameras to enable photography of the complete liner running surface, cylinder cover, lube oil injection area, exhaust valve, start air valve and injector valves.
  • Capability to in situ cylinder condition documentation of 2-stroke engines with a bore size from 480 to 980 mm.
  • High-temperature resistant electronic components and batteries allowing operation without lowering engine coolant temperature for most engine types.
  • 14 cylinders liner per charge and per cylinder is 15 minutes.
  • Tools for centering, inserting and extracting the camera and checking clearance at TDC are included with the LCC.
  • There is no need to remove cylinder cover or exhaust valve housing when using the LCC (only venting of combustion chamber is necessary, e.g. by opening the indicator valve).
  • The LCC can be combined with Chris-Marine’s Liner Diameter Measurement Instrument LDM by using the LDM tablet.
