The MONITORING SYSTEM is an instrument designed to constantly monitor the electrochemical potentials and therefore the state of protection against galvanic currents of the hull, the submerged metal parts and the sea water circuit.
It is important to monitor the electrochemical potentials to verify that sacrificial anodes (or other cathodic protection systems) on hull and appendages are providing the necessary protection against galvanic corrosion.
Besides controlling the electrochemical potentials of the boat as an isolated system, the MONITORING SYSTEM is also an essential tool for assessing the interactions between the boat and the infrastructures around it under various environmental conditions.
The components of the MONITORING SYSTEM developed by TECNOSEAL are:
POWER SUPPLY equipped with TOUCH-SCREEN monitor control panel.
One or two monitoring probes (Depending on the design features it is possible to identify also the positions and the type of hull probes installation).
From 1 to 6 measuring points.
The power supply for the MONITORING SYSTEM is the same used for ANTIFOULING SYSTEM. Both systems may co-exist within the same power supply unit.
This solution has been designed to simultaneously host both ANTIFOULING SYSTEM and MONITORING SYSTEM upon Customer's request, allowing to save space as well as optimizing different functions in a single device.
The system is designed to monitor up to six characteristic points of the boat and enables to display in real time the electrochemical potential values on the 7'' MONITOR as well as the graph of time trends of the measured values.
