Founded in 1993, Icon Research is a specialist leader in machinery condition monitoring and diesel engine performance monitoring. Products that are particularly applicable to the marine industry include the Doctor (portable software monitoring of cylinder pressure and fuel pressure), the Iconet (a flexible Ethernet network system that provides information on your machinery) and the Guardian (a fully featured monitoring software package for rotating machinery).
DOCTOR: PORTABLE, INTEGRATED SHIP ENGINE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Doctor systems provide extensive information on the performance of engines quickly, simply and accurately. Older engines can benefit just as much as new ones and the systems can provide a rapid payback of the investment cost.
The portable Doctor DK-2 series is an industry standard for cylinder pressure measurement, having built its reputation on reliability, accuracy and ease-of-use. The “Diesel Doctor”, as it is often known, is housed in a rugged plastic case and is fully sealed against moisture and dirt. A complete system, including sensors and cables, fits into a convenient shoulder bag about the same size as a camcorder case.
Installed Doctor systems are available in two versions. The DK-2 is a single channel unit for measuring cylinder pressure while the DK-2/FV measures cylinder and fuel pressure simultaneously.
