LiTeM Meet
Not after damage occurs, intervene before it happens.
LiTeM
LiTeM is the world’s first autonomous sensor that wirelessly monitors the temperature of cylinder liners (liners) without batteries. Detect piston lock‑up and segment damage in advance.
Operates using TEG technology that generates energy from temperature differences, eliminating battery replacement and cable clutter.
Detects early issues such as broken segments and oil film loss, preventing cylinder scarring and piston lock‑up.
Unlike wired sensors, it can be easily mounted near hot and moving parts without disassembly of the engine.
Continuously tracks cylinder liner temperature at a 500 ms sampling rate, turning reactive maintenance into predictive maintenance.
Late Diagnosis
Cylinder liner temperature anomalies are usually noticed after damage has occurred. Broken piston segments, oil film loss and cooling failures lead to liner wear, piston lock‑up and even complete engine shutdown.
Limits of Wiring
Traditional sensors are wired and their installation on the hot, moving interior of a motor is extremely difficult. Maintenance, power supply and wiring requirements limit system response speed and increase costs.
Early Warning Saves Lives
LiTeM captures real‑time thermal anomalies directly from the liner within seconds. It gives you the chance to intervene before catastrophic damage occurs, protecting your engine.
Thermoelectric Power (TEG)
LiTeM is the world’s first battery‑free liner sensor that generates its own electricity from temperature differences (TEG). It operates autonomously without external power sources or battery changes.
Easy Integration, Zero Maintenance
Wireless data transmission eliminates complex wiring. It easily adapts to the most critical and hard‑to‑reach points of the engine – install, forget, and monitor with confidence.
MAN 32/40 Success Story
LiTeM technology has been successfully implemented in MAN 32/40 engines, proving its performance in harsh field conditions. It sets a new standard, bringing industrial safety from reactive to predictive.
With continuous insights, predict maintenance needs before they arise, reduce downtime and optimise motor performance. Embrace the future of safety with ESCOM‑es innovations.

Frequently Asked Questions
LiTeM is the world’s first wireless, battery‑free cylinder liner temperature sensor. It detects thermal anomalies on the liner before damage occurs, preventing costly failures such as piston lock‑up and segment breakage.
LiTeM uses cutting‑edge thermoelectric (TEG) technology to harvest energy from temperature differences. Wireless sensors placed on the liner monitor temperature changes and send real‑time alerts when limits are exceeded.
The system employs Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) technology to harvest energy from the engine’s own heat, eliminating the need for battery replacement or external power sources.
LiTeM stands out with its self‑powered, wireless, battery‑free design. Unlike traditional systems, it does not rely on external power or extensive wiring, offering sustainable, maintenance‑free operation in hard‑to‑reach areas.
Yes, LiTeM’s versatile design allows integration with a wide range of diesel engines, from industrial generators to marine applications.
LiTeM provides real‑time monitoring that helps prevent engine failures and reduces downtime, delivering cost savings. Its wireless and energy‑harvesting features eliminate battery changes and complex wiring, enhancing sustainability and ease of installation.
Conventional sensors are wired and difficult to install near hot, moving engine parts. LiTeM is wireless, compact, and maintenance‑free, allowing easy mounting even in the most challenging locations.
LiTeM technology has been successfully deployed in MAN 32/40 engines, demonstrating robust performance in demanding field conditions.
LiTeM operates using advanced energy‑harvesting technology, converting temperature differences into electricity, thus removing the need for batteries or external power.
LiTeM is developed for power plants, maritime, automotive, and heavy‑machinery sectors. It is valuable for operators and maintenance teams responsible for motor performance and reliability.
LiTeM alerts to piston segment breakage, oil film loss, and cooling system failures that can cause overheating and engine damage.
Sensors sample at 500 ms intervals and transmit data via BLE to a Wi‑GaTe (gateway). Data is visualised on the ESCOM‑es Dashboard with live graphs.
The wireless, battery‑free design enables rapid installation without complex cabling or motor modification. It integrates easily with existing liner mounting points.
