Liner Temperature Monitoring

From Critical Failures to Continuous Insight: Discover LiTeM

In traditional power plant operations using internal combustion engines, liner temperature anomalies are often detected too late—after damage has already occurred. Problems such as:

Broken piston rings
Oil film loss
Cooling failure

...often lead to overheating, causing cylinder liner scoring, piston seizure, or even total engine shutdown.

Conventional temperature sensors are typically wired and difficult to install inside the engine, especially near hot and moving parts. The maintenance, power supply, and cabling demands of such systems limit their responsiveness and increase the cost of monitoring.

Introducing LiTeM: A Smart and Batteryless Alternative

LiTeM (Liner Temperature Monitoring) by ESCOM-ES changes the game. It's the first wireless, battery-free liner temperature sensor system that powers itself from temperature differences using thermoelectric generation (TEG).

Batteryless and wireless — no cables, no external power
Dual-sensor backup — one sensor takes over if the other fails
Real-time monitoring of liner temperature
500ms sampling rate for fast response
Sends data wirelessly via BLE, Wi-Fi, or industrial protocols
Triggers alarms or engine shutdown if abnormal heat is detected

With LiTeM, you no longer guess what's happening inside the cylinder. You know it.

The Future of Safe, Predictive Engine Operation

LiTeM is more than a sensor. It's an early warning system that helps prevent severe engine failures and costly downtime.

A Vanguard in Energy Management

In power plants utilizing internal combustion engines, fluctuations in cylinder liner temperatures can occur due to various factors, including oil film disruption, piston ring break and cooling loss, potentially leading to engine seizures and significant operational losses. The Liner Temperature Monitoring (LiTeM) system is a safeguard against such incidents, designed to detect temperature imbalances in the cylinder liner and prevent unexpected shutdowns that can result in time, production, and financial setbacks.

LiTeM, a wireless and battery-free solution, integrates temperature sensors per cylinder, positioned directly on the cylinder liners. This innovative system generates its own energy from temperature differences, negating the need for external wiring and power sources. In the event of a temperature deviation exceeding the set limits, the system triggers an alarm and automatically shuts down the engine to prevent damage, as vividly illustrated in the accompanying images that showcase the potential damages that can be averted with this proactive monitoring.
