Hi EngineDad,
The Carnival Splendor is diesel-electric powered using six Wartsila 12V46C diesel engines which are protected by Schaller Visatron oil mist detectors.

Thanks for the info. Visatron makes decent units. I currently have them installed on my CAT generators on my ship now. As long as they are kept clean and calibrated they do OK. The CATS are 3608’s.
Unfortunately, the equipment is only as good as the maintenance and repair of it gets. I know a lot of guys that think Oil Nist Detectors are just a pain in the neck.
Wartsillas are decnt engines too. Sailed with them on a ship when I was a Second Assistant Engineer. They had a small vibration issue, but overall were decent engines.
