Abstract:
Overheating in ship engine systems is one of the major factors that can lead to machinery
damage, operational downtime, and potential safety hazards on board. Therefore, an
effective temperature monitoring system is essential to ensure safe and efficient engine
performance. This research aims to develop and model a temperature sensor system to
prevent overheating on board MT. Kartika 1. The study focuses on designing a reliable
temperature monitoring model capable of providing early detection and warning when
engine temperatures exceed safe operating limits.The research employs an experimental
and prototype-based approach, in which temperature sensors are installed at critical
engine components prone to overheating. The system is integrated with a microcontroller-
based monitoring unit that processes temperature data in real time and activates an alarm
or indicator when abnormal temperature conditions are detected. The modeling process
includes calibration, system testing, and performance evaluation to ensure measurement
accuracy and operational stability under engine room conditions.The results indicate that
the developed temperature sensor model is capable of accurately detecting temperature
fluctuations and providing timely warnings before critical overheating occurs. The
system improves preventive maintenance practices, enhances operational safety, and
reduces the risk of engine failure on board MT. Kartika 1. In conclusion, the
implementation of a temperature sensor modeling system is an effective solution to
support ship machinery reliability and prevent overheating incidents. Further
improvements are recommended in sensor durability, integration with ship monitoring
systems, and long-term performance optimization.
