Meet ViBT-es TCMN3240
Vibration and Temperature Sensor for Turbochargers and Engines
ViBT-es TCMN3240
Monitor the health of MAN 32/40 engines and turbochargers with batteryless technology. ViBT-es-TCMN3240 converts engine heat into energy, autonomously reporting critical mechanical data 24/7.
Detects turbocharger vibrations and temperatures in their purest form with a mounting base designed specifically for MAN 32/40 turbocharger blocks.
Converts the casing temperature generated during turbocharger operation into electricity via thermoelectric effects. Completely removes operational burdens like battery replacement and cable repair from your MAN 32/40 maintenance schedule.
Performs high-resolution acceleration measurements in X, Y, and Z axes, providing traceability in line with ISO 10816 standards for imbalances, looseness, and bearing weaknesses, proactively protecting engine lifespan.
Transmits data unaffected by metal density inside the facility using BLE communication protocol. Offers instant and historical monitoring via your existing SCADA systems or the ESCOM-es Dashboard.
Measurement Precision in Heavy Equipment
In massive engines like the MAN 32/40, vibration frequencies are complex. Standard sensors can mix structural engine resonances with actual fault signals, leading to false alarms.
Compounding Costs of Unplanned Downtime
In power plants or vessels where these engines are deployed, a single unplanned downtime event means colossal financial losses.
ViBT-es-TCMN3240: Integrated Solution by Engine Type
ViBT-es-TCMN3240 is calibrated to be the 'vibration twin' of the MAN 32/40 engine casing. With its specialized design, it is mounted on the turbocharger in seconds and generates the most reliable data at the source, without batteries.
Maximum Thermal Transfer and Energy
ViBT-es-TCMN3240 conducts heat naturally occurring on the turbocharger casing to the energy-harvesting unit with maximum efficiency. With just a 5-degree temperature gradient between the heat-radiating machinery and the ambient air, it achieves instant 5-second sampling rates to track your machinery at any moment.
24/7 Monitoring of Critical Parameters
ViBT-es-TCMN3240 instantly captures the slightest vibration or heat increase in the system, enabling you to intervene before it turns into destructive damage in your engine.
ESCOM-es Dashboard
Vibration and temperature data from ViBT-es-TCMN3240 is transferred to SCADA systems or the ESCOM-es Dashboard via a specially designed industrial gateway (Wi-GaTe). This platform forms the digital twin of the turbocharger, enabling 24/7 remote monitoring and analysis.
Operating in full compliance with the ISO 10816 standard, ViBT-es-TCMN3240 ensures compliance with international energy and industrial operation standards. This integration guarantees operational reliability and data quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
While general-purpose sensors focus on average values to adapt to every machine on the market, ViBT-es-TCMN3240 is a targeted engineering product designed to solve a specific problem at its root.
No. ViBT-es-TCMN3240 is manufactured to fully align with the existing mounting points and screw sockets of the engine. It is installed in minutes on a 'set-and-forget' principle without requiring any structural modification.
The casing temperature of the MAN 32/40 turbocharger generates the thermal energy needed for our energy harvesting unit to operate without batteries. If the temperature gradient (DELTA T) between the turbocharger casing and the surrounding ambient environment is over 5 degrees, the sensor continues to send data uninterrupted as long as the engine runs.
Our sensor uses optimized BLE protocol, which is least affected by metal barriers. Additionally, our Wi-GaTe gateway units synchronize on a second-by-second basis to collect this data without loss.
Our product has an IP68 sealing class. It is manufactured from highly durable industrial materials to operate under hot oil vapor, high humidity, and extreme shocks generated by the MAN 32/40.
Yes. Our Wi-GaTe unit communicates over BLE, Modbus RTU/TCP, and Profinet. This enables you to transfer all vibration and temperature data to your existing SCADA screens. We also offer 24/7 monitoring via the ESCOM-es Dashboard.
