The Consilium Marine KVC 312 and KVC 415 Gas Alarm System is a multi-channel gas detection and alarm platform designed for continuous monitoring of combustible and oxygen-deficient atmospheres onboard commercial and industrial vessels. Comprising a KVC 312 control unit alongside multiple KVC 415 detection cards — including dedicated modules for CX & HY %LEL monitoring and O₂% monitoring — this system provides structured, zone-based gas detection critical to crew safety and regulatory compliance. As a core component of a vessel’s Fire & Gas Alarm System, it plays an essential operational role in identifying hazardous gas conditions before they escalate.
Key Features
✓ Multi-card architecture supports simultaneous monitoring across several detection zones, with cards designated for CX & HY combustible gas (%LEL) and O₂ percentage detection.
✓ Includes KVC 415 Gas Detection Cards for CX & HY (4 units: NO.1, NO.2A, NO.3A, NO.4A) and KVC 415 Gas Detection Cards for O₂% (3 units: NO.2, NO.3, NO.4B), providing balanced coverage across gas types.
✓ System compatibility is specific to the Consilium Marine KVC series platform; exact panel integration and configuration details are subject to confirmation against vessel-specific documentation.
✓ Suitable for installation in machinery spaces, cargo areas, and other monitored zones where combustible or oxygen-deficient atmospheres may develop; mounting and environmental ratings are subject to confirmation.
✓ Replacement of individual KVC 415 detection cards allows targeted servicing without full system overhaul, supporting efficient maintenance schedules and minimising vessel downtime.
Marine Applications
✓ Gas detection and alarm monitoring in engine rooms and machinery spaces aboard cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Combustible gas (%LEL) surveillance in cargo holds, pump rooms, and enclosed spaces where hydrocarbon accumulation is a risk.
✓ Oxygen depletion monitoring in confined spaces subject to inert gas atmospheres or CO₂ flooding system exposure.
✓ Integration into vessel-wide fire and gas safety systems on bulk carriers, chemical tankers, LPG/LNG carriers, and similar regulated vessel types.
✓ Retrofit or replacement installations as part of planned maintenance programmes or following system upgrades on vessels operating under SOLAS and flag state safety requirements.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Consilium Marine’s KVC series is a recognised platform in commercial marine gas detection, valued for its modular card-based design that allows zone-specific maintenance and clear alarm segregation across multiple gas types — making the KVC 312 / KVC 415 system a practical and reliable choice for fleet safety managers and chief engineers alike.
Ideal For
Tankers, bulk carriers, cargo vessels, offshore support vessels, chemical carriers, LPG and LNG ships, and any commercial vessel requiring structured multi-zone gas detection and alarm capability.
