Periskal Fuel Measurement
Fuel measurement and registration becomes more and more important due to the ever increasing prices of fuel. Periskal has now an ‘off the shelf’ system that fulfills the needs of inland shipping in this field. It works on every type of ship’s engine and is completely independent. The system has a few components like mass flow meters including transmitters and is linked with the onboard navigation software. This allows registration together with GPS information like position, course and speed of the vessel at the time of measurement. The onboard navigation software or a shore client allows to make the necessary reports of the fuel consumption for the owner. The system can be combined with tracking solutions via AIS and/or Inmarsat.
  Components
1. Mass flow meter
Periskal has chosen Emerson mass flow meters for the measurement. Especially the type that is measuring with Coriolus Force is very useful on ship’s engines. It has no moving parts and measures very accurate the flow of the fuel. In a typical installation a flow meter is installed on the In and Outgoing fuel pipes, this on every engine.

2. Transmitter
The transmitter is connected with the flow meter and stores the measured values. It also gives connection with the onboard navigation software.

3. Onboard navigation software
The Tresco Inland ECDIS Viewer also produced by Periskal is used to display the measured fuel consumption. It also allows to make daily consumption reports, see figure.

4. Optional communication equipment
The stored information about the consumption stays within the onboard navigation software. However parameters like hourly consumption can be transmitted to the shore regularly using AIS and/or Inmarsat. This information can be combined with the Periskal Tracking Solution.

  Advantages
• Accurate measurement of fuel consumption
• Measurement of fuel independent of fuel quality and properties
• Combination of fuel consumption with ship’s parameters like speed, heading and position
• Can be installed on all type of ship’s engines
• Can be integrated with Periskal Tracking application via web
Reliable components
• Typical for inland vessels engines
