LEMAG ECI: Electronic Cylinder Pressure Indicator for Engine Optimization 

Chris-Marine has designed LEMAG ECI, an electronic cylinder pressure indicator, to improve engine up-time and reduce operating costs.  Thanks to its state-of -the art features, it allows technicians to balance, fine-tune, and monitor auxiliary and main engines, ensuring peak performance across various engine types. Our LEMAG ECI is not only compatible with large 2-stroke engines. It is also compatible with 4-stroke engines. Furthermore, as long as an engine is equipped with an indicator valve, LEMAG ECI can provide precise performance data, regardless of the fuel type used (including natural gas, LPG, and HFO/MDO).

That cylinder pressure monitoring is important can not be stressed enough. As a matter of fact, high or abnormal cylinder pressures can point to detonation (knocking), which can seriously damage engine components. Moreover, maintaining optimal cylinder pressure ensures efficient combustion, which directly impacts fuel consumption and emissions. Engines that operate with balanced pressure levels burn fuel more effectively, reducing waste and minimizing harmful emissions. Bu monitoring cylinder pressure technicians can catch signs of detonation early, preventing costly repairs and keeping the engine in good health.

Key Features of LEMAG ECI – Electronic Cylinder Pressure Indicator

Optimized Engine Performance
LEMAG ECI enables precise fine-tuning of engine performance. Not only does it enhance engine efficiency, but it is also contributing to lower operating costs.

Durability for Harsh Conditions
LEMAG ECI was designed to withstand the demanding environments found on ships and power plants and is built for long-lasting performance.

Continuous Engine Monitoring
LEMAG ECI provides continuous engine readings, without the risk of overheating the sensor, ensuring reliable monitoring over extended periods.

Early Problem Detection
The device detects potential engine problems before they lead to costly downtime, enabling proactive maintenance and repair.

Accurate Readings
The optional crank angle sensor offers safe, innovative, and highly accurate readings, ensuring precision in measuring engine performance.

Easy-to-Use Interface
LEMAG ECI features an intuitive interface, making it easy to operate for both experienced technicians and new operators, even while wearing gloves.

Ergonomic Handheld Unit
LEMAG ECI’s handheld unit is ergonomic and has a large color display that enables clear and instant readings on-site. Therefore, readings are easy and quick.

Real-Time Confirmation
Upon completing the monitoring process, users receive instant confirmation that the measurement process was successful.

Easy Data Export and Analysis
The results are exported to a PC for further analysis. Moreover, the data can be sent to a superintendent for comparison with historical data or reference data, thus facilitating decision-making.

User-Friendly Graphics and Menus
LEMAG ECI offers step-by-step graphical instructions. Similarly, its straightforward menus makes LEMAG ECI easy to handle for operators.

ECI System Calibration and Maintenance

Regular calibration is of great importance to maintain the quality and accuracy of your LEMAG ECI.  An easy two-step-process gets the device calibrated:

Firstly, send it to Chris-Marine Germany for testing.
Secondly, get your calibrated LEMAG ECI delivered to your premises together with renewed certification.

Recommended calibration interval: every 12 to 24 months for optimal performance.

Two Configurations to Match Your Engine

1. LEMAG ECI

   This version of the LEMAG ECI offers accurate cylinder pressure measurements, automatic TDC detection, MIP, power calculation, misfiring analysis, and engine balancing. In addition, the high-quality pressure sensor features a leak-proof, patented design and is engineered with excellent thermal specification

2. LEMAG ECI-MS
   

   LEMAG ECI-MS includes the MS Crank Angle Sensor solution, allowing high-resolution crank angle measurements. It provides precise MIP and cylinder power calculations. It is therefore ideal ideal for low-speed engines.
